"Y'all know Alex Murdaugh? That's his son. Good luck." That quote has stuck out to me since the very first time I heard it on the podcast. #MurdaughMurders#MurdaughNetflix
Then once I saw one of the other docs and saw Paul smiling after the boat crash ... while everyone else was worried & looking for #MalloryBeach, it was even more clear to me just how powerful this family really was. #MurdaughMurders#MurdaughNetflix
Anthony gave Paul the nickname "Timmy" when he got drunk because he was such a different person when he was drunk. #MurdaughMurders#MurdaughNetflix
Buster wanted the life that Alex had. He wanted to be a big time lawyer. Paul didn't want that. Maggie showed more love & attention to Buster. Paul clung to Ms. Gloria & gave him the attention he wanted from Maggie. #MurdaughMurders#MurdaughNetflix
"Ms. Gloria took care of Paul like no family member ever did. Ms. Gloria would've walked off the end of the moon for Paul Murdaugh." #MurdaughMurders#MurdaughNetflix
Then Paul started getting into trouble. And when he would get into trouble, he would call his grandfather & Randolph would make it go away. #MurdaughMurders#MurdaughNetflix
Morgan & Paul had a toxic relationship. And Miley hated to see her friend going through that. (Oooooh weeeee I can relate) #MurdaughMurders#MurdaughNetflix
He wrecked the truck while driving drunk instead of letting Morgan drive. Him & his folks got mad at her for calling 9-1-1. They came & took all the guns & beer cans out of the truck before LE arrived. #MurdaughMurders#MurdaughNetflix
We're starting Day 23 of the #MurdaughTrial with pretty much confirmation that #AlexMurdaugh will take the stand. Dick is asking the Judge again about him not being asked about the financial crimes.
Dick says it will take another week for #AlexMurdaugh to testify with all of their objections if the State is allowed to ask about the financial crimes. #MurdaughTrial
Day 22 of the #MurdaughTrial & we're starting the day with talk of #AlexMurdaugh testifying. Defense is asking about stopping the State from being able to ask certain questions on Cross.
Judge denies request to limit scope of State's cross. #MurdaughTrial
First witness today is Mark Ball, Parker Law Group (FKA PMPED) attorney. #MurdaughTrial
Fernandez and Sutton are arguing about the pellets. Dick objects to the comment Fernandez makes about "We'll get to that." Judge Newman sustains. #MurdaughTrial
Are we getting into the weeds here? Does the hole the pellets went through really matter in proving if Alex pulled the triggers?? #MurdaughTrial
Does the Jury care about the State being argumentative with a witness? #MurdaughTrial
Day 21 of the #MurdaughTrial. We're back after a long weekend. Judge says we have 2 issues: 1) Juror #441 is sick & will be replaced with Juror #530. This was an alternate Juror who took the place of #220. 2) Jim being on Twitter retweeting the article about the investigation.
Judge Newman said the first tweet he saw this morning was Jim's retweet!! Judge tells him not to post or repost anything. He says his command not to discuss the case doesn't apply to the lawyers, but it doesn't look good. #MurdaughTrial
Defense plans to wrap up their case by Friday. Jurors should expect to receive their Jury Charge sometime next week, depending on how long the State takes to Rebuttal. #MurdaughTrial
