[@scuba_sam6321]

@@better0h I truly think Pauls boat wreck was the catalyst that set him off finally.. he may have been thinking since Mark Tinsley filed the million dollar lawsuit and it just stewed in him for over a year.. he most likely was going to be caught stealing the $$$.. That hearing coming up on "motion to compel" (ALL his financials).. he couldn't hide accounts as Tinsley had subpoenas for EVERY bank in the low Country of South Carolina.. if there was no account in his name they would simply answer the subpoena w/ "no account".. The Forge account at Bank of America WAS coming out.. There is evidence Maggie was going to or looking into Divorce.. Think he planned to do it as he INVITED Maggie to Moselle..

[@colenexoxo8939]

Brillant

[@kenzierocks1240]

I know. I watched an interview, with him, explaining that. I think AM thought he was going to walk into that courtroom where he once held some power, wield his “sword” along with his defense team and somehow “slay” the prosecutors. AM was furious, glaring at Mr. Water’s every chance he could get with his beady eyes. Mr. Water’s strategy in getting the jurors familiar with AM voice was brilliant, as you said. Mr. Water’s had AM in the palm of his hand and I’m not so sure AM was keen enough, by then, to even know it. One thing stood out to me at sentencing…AM basically stood face-to-face with Judge Newman…when JN gave him the opportunity to come clean, unburden his conscience (that he apparently doesn’t have, so let’s just say guilt) and, yet again, AM said he would never HURT his son or his wife…by putting it that way, it’s NOT a lie. His sense of entitlement makes it HIS TRUTH and there’s nothing to admit to. He can’t bring himself to say that he would never KILL them because he knows that IS a lie and a lot to admit. I still don’t believe he’s sorry one bit but sorry for himself. But JN said Maggie and Paul must visit him when going to sleep, AM said “all day every day” ~ I hope they HAUNT his dreams for the rest of his natural life, in his concrete cell. JN ruled his courtroom and brought to life the meaning of “iron hand in a velvet glove”~ gentle yet forceful and determined. In some sort of way, this case kind of came full circle knowing JN just buried his own son not long before this trial started. I think he found this whole situation heartbreaking. Possibly thinking he’d give anything, if for just one more day, to have my own son back and this monster killed his son in cold blood. Not to recognize Maggie but in relation to their son’s. Much respect to JN, entire prosecution team and the jurors for rendering the appropriate decision.

Mr Waters - I appreciated your ability to reduce complicated evidence into understandable terms -- all the while working under the restrictions given. You kept to the "pointing to motive only," mandate, without dumbing down the horror of the financial fraud issues.

[@margaretriley6428]

You & your team did an awesome job. Justice served.

[@naynayntn990]

Wonderful job you guys!! And Judge Newman is just the BEST!!

[@kristinburrup7299]

Great job! Loved your tenacity and hard work. Only the best prosecutor for this one and holding him accountable to each and every client that he stole and cheated from to his face. Amazing. I actually think he was in shock because he finally was caught. What a fight.

[@mollycote1021]

I thought so as well. He got a bunch of flask for going over the financial crimes, but he needed to.

[@robertseward7690]

Yes! A weaker prosecutor would have lost the case.

[@josephtorres1406]

Yes

[@jessylynn5846]

Thank you so much Mr Waters. You and your team were just amazing. You worked so hard. So much respect for you. Much love from Minnesota

[@evonne315]

This man is not only a hero, but a dream. I could listen to him speak all night, love his voice and demeanor. Thank you for your service, well done!!

[@joyceschreiber2538]

You make us believe in and respect our judicial system. Thank you.

[@emilyheather328]

Yeah by sending someone to prison with no hardcore evidence he did it what if that were you

[@steviesgirlbrenwag]

@@emilyheather328 there was plenty if evidence!

You can tell this fella lived this case 24/7.

What a truly talented man! A musician too! Thanks to you, John Meadors and the whole team!

[@MizpahMoo]

You & your teams hard work payed off Creighton. Sterling job putting a evil murderer away, for the rest of his life. You got justice for Maggie & Paul. Thank you for the exceptional work and dedication. I was glued to the trial, I came to the same conclusion to the jury. Rip Maggie & Paul. Strength to all victims and the innocent family members. May they find peace too.

[@l1sapower]

I could listen to him talk about this case all day!

[@lauraditchburn1857]

Amazing work, energy, dedication and professional commitment from Creighton Waters.

[@sherryweems8579]

Mr C Waters is clearly a professional in every way. I hope to see his legal expertise in action again.

[@cathyclark9430]

Thank you for all your hard work, sacrifice and effort you put forth in this trial. You are a true public servant and your dedication hasn't gone unnoticed. I hope you can take much needed time for yourself.

He’s got a lovely demeanour honest integrity and logical intellect

[@nyccheckin]

Stellar work. No one has mentioned that defendant NEVER said he was sorry.

[@michellebaca1024]

You are SO right!

Because he’s NOT

Thank you for your great work and all the rest of the crew,great job!

[@tanyadaniel6704]

I never saw CW smile the entire case, but that press conference they did after AM was convicted, his smile brought tears to my eyes, he did such an amazing job

[@karenbarrows6127]

I'm sorry you ever had to even meet Alex Murtaugh. We are all worse off for having witnessed the evil of that man.

[@edwardfleck5038]

Amazing job by Creighton and his team. Opposed by top notch legal defense team in a circumstantial case and a skilled trial lawyer and former prosecutor, who is a like able defendant. Creighton Waters and his team were the underdog in this legal Super Bowl . The cross examination conducted by Creighton convinced me of Alex’s guilt. It was a work of beauty and will be referenced in law schools in the years to come as to how to conduct a cross against a defendant who is a highly skilled liar.

[@jriver64]

Thank God Almighty we have attorneys in this country that are committed to their calling and finding justice for victims of crimes!

[@JesusismySavior316]

An amazing and honorable man. Thanks to him a monster is out of society for good. May God bless him and his family.

[@michellebaca1024]

I was going to say honorable man!

[@wandadills-xm3kl]

Thanks for bringing justice and getting this crazy man where he belongs

[@bryanstarke2931]

Without having known anything at all about his family or anything I would have suspected him as quickly as the 1st officers that showed up did. I watched the video and the entire thing looked theatrical. His wife/son's brains are blown out and he's asking them if they're dead? No tears - nothing. And then later he forgets, breaks character and does the ole casual "Hey, how's it going?" to the officer walking by him. It just felt weird from the get go

[@michellebaca1024]

I agree! I wonder if any of the law enforcement guys were like he’s do faking it! Or if they really bough the act. Are they did? Did you check them? So dumb, like no Alex your wife is laying under that white sheet sleeping!

[@elizabeths113]

I believe David Owen knew or thought Alec did it when he first interviewed him in the car the night it happened.

[@steviesgirlbrenwag]

@bryanstarke2931 I agree totally! When he said he lied when he spoke to David, thinking it was another David, yet he lied when he was talking to dispatch before any of the officers arrived. He was asked when he saw his family last & he said 1.5 hrs to 2 hrs. That was when he lied. His problem is he continues to lie & cannot keep track of them. He is where he needs to be!

[@crickcrock56]

This guy needs his own super fan club…he was amazing. Thank you Creightdawg!

[@Kim-Berly200]

This case was over the top mind boggling, yet incredibly interesting to watch!

[@dianerawlinson5462]

What a decent man! Watched the whole trial from the U.K. 👌💖

[@michellebaca1024]

Hi from Albuquerque, NM USA ! Can’t believe this case was known all the way over there!

[@dianerawlinson5462]

@@michellebaca1024 It was online, I watch a lot of forensic/investigative news from America. I believe there was a Netflix programme but didn’t watch that. Wasn’t A.M. a narcissistic psychopath. A dangerous man indeed!

[@rm9338]

Job well done . Maggie and Paul deserve the truth to be told.

[@roxannemoser]

Attorney General Alan Wilson called himself brilliant for appointing Creighton Waters to this case. It was a brilliant move. But, when the AG pointed it out at the press conference, it felt like he took away all the hard work Creighton did and credited himself with it. It sort of angered me.

[@patmullen5172]

He is a great lawyer . Tobad we don't have more like him.

[@lindamills9444]

Excellent job by the team and Mr. Waters.
