He thought i was being a jerk....He was annoyed....but then realized I seriously didn't know:) and we clicked. I never got to say goodbye...I missed the day of school that was his last day.❤thanks for your comment:)

Prayer to all the victims surrounding this family !!

Guy remembers everything except what he was doing during the key moments around both their deaths and while four for minutes he's running a sprint. Guy also admits that, for years, he lied about all his financial fraud but wants people to believe him when he says he's telling the truth about not killing his family. Hopefully this jury isn't full of clowns who can't see all of this.

[@CJScrol]

Yep. Doesn’t remember what happened to the clothes he was wearing hours before murders.

[@ndifazio4190]

He’s not supposed to help the prosecution, is he?

[@Live0nnn]

@N di Fazio yeah because that was the point I was trying to make....

[@davidking6986]

Alex said if you look at my phone you will see the whole story. He also said who ever done this had planned it for a long long time. He also said whoever done this had hate in his heart .well Don Alex you are that man.

[@ashlieleavelle]

This judge has had so much patience, calm and clarity. This was hard to watch the past several weeks....I can't imagine how tired all involved must be. Prayers for the jury.

Who wants to bet the jurors will have a verdict before the weekend!?

[@connyweber2029]

I hope so...GUILTY!!

[@sabrina798able]

I'm telling you the jurors are over the trial, that and I have a feeling he stole money from the wrong people and he needs to be made an example! You'll see. I can say this with confidence because I come from the same sort of place os Alec and have had enough of it to last my life!

[@magpie3924]

Never know with these jurors today. They're not always so bright. We shall see . I have little to NO faith in Our Justice system and less in jurors

Mighty God arise and bring Justice in this case 🙏🙏🙏

[@michelleayres5608]

I could not, in a million years, imagine my father pointing a gun at me and pulling the trigger. I wanted to think Alex Murdauch was innocent. But he is guilty.

[@mscelbabe1]

Justice has been served! RIP Maggie & Paul xx♥️🌸🌺

[@one007guy]

Please read guilty. Hold this murderer accountable!

[@gidgetrose9251]

Also the housekeeper is going to be dug up for a better autopsy. He could get charged with her murder next.

[@oregon32nursenurse43]

Alex will be found guilty of all charges as the evidence has presented. Well done, prosecution team. 👍🏽

[@type2life396]

No he won’t, you are underestimating the idiots that walk among us.

[@nvnlove]

i don't feel evidence has proved that AM was the killer. Motive has definitely been proven.

[@ML-kp2ib]

​@@type2life396 sadly true. I still have hope

[@kathynj6479]

I sure hope so. I hope the smoke and mirrors were seen as just that. Every fact nails down his guilt.

[@karena.3248]

@@type2life396 I always think of Casey Anthony. I didn’t see that coming😬

[@amandaowens2016]

Alex's life is over it will NEVER be the same

[@stephanieb6578]

It should be!

[@mouse8345]

Great Judge, and Court. My opinion... Guilty.. feel bad for the Family and families Alex has lied and manipulated . Prayers to the jury.
