Alex Murdaugh Intense Pretrial Hearing

[@kimward5746]

It's the wonderful judge who told Nathaniel Rowland's mom to shut up about his innocence. Love this guy.

[@Christy-.]

I love this judge !!

[@ciao2315]

He’s incredible! Different court room threw me off for a min.

[@rosejr2614]

I was hoping that was him! That voice sounded like the judge from that case.

[@StaceyJoy14]

Yes!!!! I knew he looked familiar. Love that guy

[@lindawilliams8124]

Totally agree!!!

[@justlooking4771]

Life in prison. And (10) minutes alone with Mallory Beach's family. 🤬

Sad she won't get the justice she deserves. Hold your children tight they want to be grown way too soon

[@christianbyrd2844]

Dang, Mr. Defense Attorney has some serious anger issues!!!!

[@bbrcummins1984]

And Poot wonders why people don't like him .

[@blasphemertheseventh]

What a childish defense attorney. He knows the case has already been lost.

[@DDee-oi6kn]

I can't imagine what a miserable human being this man is - killing nearly his entire family, stealing from Peter to pay Paul.

[@kdfulton3152]

The Judge better be careful, Harputlean (sic) is looking to hijack this trial. He’s a slick one and plays really dirty. He’s up to his old tricks here, already; yelling about nothing trying to make it into something.

[@marthadavidson4441]

This Poot should resign - too old and aggresive short tempered -, go home

[@sherireedy329]

Whew!! This is going to be an extremely intense trial!

[@Leann2]

The defense will lose this case just because we don’t like him already. He’ll anger the jury.

[@MontroseGirl]

He did it!&😘

[@jeffsnow886]

You must put all that aside as a jurist. Innocent until proven guilty. You must remember that. You don’t want to be a defendant and someone on the jury is thinking the way you think. If he is found guilty this judge is going to smoke him. He said in another case that leniency is not in his DNA. Ouch!!

[@jeffsnow886]

@@MontroseGirl Geez Ms. Kathy, get picked on the jury first, before you go in with guilty in your head. Innocent until proven guilty. That’s the way the system works. You would want it that way if it were you on trial. You never know, you still have a long life ahead of you.

[@IAmSuperStick]

Not true. I feel the exact opposite. Can't wait to hear all the evidence this trial will bring out.

[@MirandaFrates]

@@jeffsnow886 100% agree

[@MelissaBartoli]

If he didn't murder them why aren't the other family members searching for the real killer ? Does Buster really think his father didn't kill his mother and brother ?

[@azinegg]

Don’t think he cares, he is his fathers son alright!

[@karenawagner2691]

Just looking at this Murdaugh guy I don't trust him one little bit.I could never be on a jury for this guy.I already have my mind made up.

[@Rachell_H]

Alex is evil and selfish in his ways. He is supposed to be upstanding citizen and should've behaved that way. Killing his family is pure evil. I don't know how any human could defend him in any way. He is guilty. I believe.

[@christinerobinson890]

The defense attorney is a piece of work. Alex had better not get off because his family has such influence. The judge doesn’t seem to know what he’s talking about. He doesn’t seem to be in control of the court. He seems better than the judge in the Vallow/day belle trial, though. I like the prosecutor. He seemed to get on top of it after a few minutes.

[@CourtJesterJorge]

That 10-min monologue starting at 9:20 …. The court reporter deserves a raise!

[@dizzolve]

SO after all that ........ Watters was right. Just issue the protective order, and he'll hand over the remaining discovery. Harputlian just wanted HIS argument heard first ( it seemed). Was that ego or was that some kind of legal importance or strategy?

[@christinetaylor8975]

Boy has Murdaugh’s appearance changed since being in jail.

[@jonilandolt596]

i know, dramatically!

[@D38401]

Almost like they are trying to make him look sickly.

[@andreawitt3640]

They all do. I remember Jodie Arias looked like she aged 10 years from arrest to conviction.

[@cocoaddams4502]

Right? It's been fascinating watching him in picture after picture as he slowly decays.

[@ciao2315]

Wait! Isn’t this the judge from the Uber killer case?! He’s a great judge!

[@suzymoroka297]

I think the Uber murder is in Florida, Judge Newman is in South Carolina

[@ramla5928]

This is the samantha josephson trial judge, Love this judge no nonsense!

[@kimward5746]

YES!

[@chrislancaster1982]

He seemed to have allowed quite a bit of nonsense. Most “no nonsense” judges would not have allowed half of what these attorneys displayed in this hearing.

[@ramla5928]

@@chrislancaster1982 Agreed, but what I like about him is that when everything is said and done, he says his piece and that piece is real from the heart. He lets the attorneys do whatever they need to do, but I always tune in to his final say. His speech to Rowland and his mother brought me to tears. He is calm but his words sting your heart. I would not want to be in his courtroom as a defendant. He lets the process play out but in the end of the trial, he really lays the gavel down!

[@chrislancaster1982]

@@ramla5928 meh, if I were this defendant, this is probably one of the Judges I would want. He’s too sweet and not very intimidating. No defendant cares what the judge has to say after everything is “all said and done”. They care what the judge says and does during the trial.

[@ramla5928]

@@chrislancaster1982 Lets agree to disagree, its okay to have different opinions about him, but I do like how he navigates the trials he judges over. I do care what judges think about defendants after a trial, and what he did during the samantha josephson case was awesome. Lets see what happens in this case. He is an awesome judge!

[@Thequietone974]

Omg. Do you mean his lawyer wants to play by the rules now

[@brandysnaps9221]

And the Senator, lawyer is not for the constitution when it comes to freedom of the press. Harpoo is suing the Gaol where the disgraced lawyer is housed due to releasing the afore mentioned criminal’s ph calls. It shows up his corruption and trying to get his son back into law collage, this after being kicked out for plagiarism. I’m disgusted in this lawyer and the fact he is a senator. You should go to Fits news who live in the area where the Murdoch’s were hard hitters in the area. It’s an eye opener

He has lost a ton of weight. County jail food is nothing like the Steaks and delicious South Carooina Shrimp and Grits he is used to.. welcome to a life of beans and hard cornbread Mr Murdaugh. I'm not sure if he has many people on the outside giving him much commissary money either.

[@justanothersmith6012]

He’s a master manipulator. Going for the frail old man , now. Maybe he’s hoping he won’t be recognized in prison.

[@reenakemp9132]

@@justanothersmith6012 Prisoners love lawyers. Lawyers have it easy in prison especially if they help file papers and give free legal advice. I'm afraid prisoners will flock to him for free advice and he will be treated well. My husband spent 9 months in prison for a probation violation on a hefty marijuana charge lol. He said cops in prison want to go unnoticed, the lawyers are treated kings.
