NOW: Judge Newman addressing the juror misconduct issue.

#MurdaughTrial Image
They met with the juror and she denied talking about the case with anyone. The juror gave names to the judge of people she suspected were spreading the rumor. Those people were contacted and they provided an affidavit and they were brought in for an in chambers hearing.
Both of those people "waffled" on the nature and extent of the contact with the juror.
Judge: The juror has had contact or discussions concerning the case with at least 3 individuals. Though it doesn't appear it was extensive, it did involve the juror offering her opinion.
BREAKING: Juror removed from the jury for having outside conversations about the case. Now down to 1 alternate.

#MurdaughTrial
It's a female juror #785. Judge is having her brought into the courtroom now to inform her she's off the jury.

#MurdaughTrial
Important note: Harpootlian said the defense didn't like the juror being removed - I'll speculate whatever was reported that she said was likely favorable to the defense.

#MurdaughTrial
EGGS - But wait, before the juror goes she has a dozen eggs in the back that she needs to get.........

#MurdaughTrial
Judge Newman: We get a lot of interesting things but now a dozen eggs?

Gallery bursts out in laughter.

#MurdaughTrial
Griffin: SLED failed miserably in this case. Had they done the job, #AlexMurdaugh would have been excluded.

Murdaugh: "When I lied, I continued to lie."

Judge: "When will it end? The jury concluded that you lied and lied and continued to lie throughout your testimony."

#MurdaughTrial
Judge: You claimed to be somewhere else when the crime was committed, then when witness after witness placed you there minutes prior, you had to switch courses and admit to being there.

#MurdaughTrial
Wow!

Judge tells #AlexMurdaugh he's sure Maggie and Paul visit him every night when he tries to go to sleep.

Murdaugh says: "All day and every night"

Judge Newman: "They will continue to do so and will reflect on the last time they looked you in the eyes"

Next on the stand is #AlexMurdaugh's former paralegal Annette Griswold. Image
Griswold testifies that after the boat crash #AlexMurdaugh was more unavailable than ever. When he was in the office, his door was often shut. Things changed after the boat crash.
Griswold testifies about checks made out to "Forge". Griswold would ask #AlexMurdaugh if she could go ahead and mail those to Michael Gunn at Forge Consulting and Alex would tell her he would deliver to him by saying he's going to see him tonight, this weekend, etc...

First witness for the state in #XXXTentacion murder trial is Cecelia Ramos. She was working at Bank of America the day the rapper died. He came into the bank and wanted to withdraw $250K. The bank didn't keep that kind of case on hand. She gave him $50K and 'ordered' the rest
BANK VIDEO: Ramos testifies #XXXTentacion came into the bank with a Louis Vuitton bag that he normally carried. You see him smile and talk with the teller.
Ramos told #XXXTentacion they could only give him $50K of the $250K he requested. The bank would "order" the remaining $200K and he could pick it up Friday. He was killed later that day and the killers stole the bag with the $50K.
