THREAD: I'm pretty outraged over the yet another #Murdaugh indictment and conviction in the court of public opinion. This time, #Buster. So I'm not shutting up. Two Smith lawyers have said in intrvs there's NO evidence that links Buster to Smith's murder.
Last week @FitsNews published an update on the story saying the investigation did NOT involve #Buster or any Murdaughs. Exhuming a body means new autopsy which at best may establish the manner of death: vehicular manslaughter or murder by physical assault.
Even if Smith's death is determined to have been a murder, a new autopsy will not identify THE murderer. So the idea that exhuming Smith's body will link his death to Buster is not just rumor. It's BULLSHIT. The rumor started in the community by unidentified and anonymous
reporters, later spread and spewed by podcasts and on the HBO and Netflix documentaries repeating it: Buster was involved because he had a relationship with Smith, they said. Nothing came of it and it remained a rumor. No facts. No evidence.
SLED reopened investigation but has no word on what they know so far. We STILL have no facts. How dare we forget that Buster is a VICTIM. It’s not only reckless to talk about him as though he’s a Murdaugh murderer, it carries legal exposure.
If I was representing Buster, I would very seriously look into all sources giving oxygen to/repeating this rumor as a basis for a defamation suit. The only known fact is that Sandy Smith has raised $30,000 on Go Fund Me supposedly to exhume Smith's body.
There is no guarantee and in fact I doubt she'll actually use the funds to exhume his body. If Smith's body is in fact exhumed, any evidence will establish nature of injury and manner of death, not "who" killed Buster. Exhuming is to find out "who," not "how." END
oops - who killed *Smith, not Buster.
