[@girlloveshemp642]

His lawyers and the Murdaugh family are all dirty. All of them. Randy is just trying to save his law business. But he knows for damn sure that his brother killed his own son and wife. Even Maggie (rip) was dirty bc she was willing to pin Mallory’s death on Conner when she knew her own son was responsible. They’re all just dirty people. Not saying she deserved what happened. But just saying that they all were dirty in some way or another. Buster cheated in law school and got kicked out, and his daddy’s money and connections got him back in school. I was be embarrassed to show my face back in school. On the stand, Buster, came across so arrogant. They’re just not a likeable bunch. Just like Maggie said “I trust the Mexicans will lock up”. That use of language tells you a good bit about her too. They realized 2 loser sons that got things not bc they earned them, but bc of their wealth and privilege. Alex is a psychopath, no doubt about it. He has no remorse, he just is mad he got caught. Each time they asked him if he killed his wife and son, he would reply he would never hurt them. Choice of Language usage tells you a lot.

[@paulahiggins4725]

Randy knows exactly who killed his sister-in-law and nephew-Alex.

[@caz468]

I think with the amount of drama around that family it’s hard to believe anyone in the same blood line as Alex

[@kateashby3066]

Agreed. Narcissists like AM didn’t become that way out of the blue. Those traits were likely the result of his upbringing. I can’t imagine his father didn’t know about some of this activity. But that’s speculation. I mean, AM and Maggie both naturally knew to cover up their crimes, then cover up their SONS crimes (boat case, drunk driving, illegal drinking, etc). These types will do anything to stay ahead of the game. It’s like it was taught to all of them, then they pass it into the next generation of Murdaugh’s. It’s not a shocker that Buster felt free to cheat in law school. He must have learned that from dad considering how sloppy he was- seeing as how he quickly got caught and kicked out. They just assume no bad consequences will befall them since their parents spoiled them ALL so badly.

[@jam6636]

Randy Murdaugh was the lawyer that tried to decive Smith´s family to possibly cover up his murder by one or more people involved with his family. (rumor has it is Buster). I honestly think they are all very good actors, they have been trained their entire lives to appear perfect in public by powerful families that know how "things get done" for over a 100 years..

Now it looks like their grasping at straws (rumors) and even some people who believed them at first don’t anymore and they’re convinced it’s all about the family trying to make money off of Stephen’s death. Nowadays I wouldn’t put it passed anybody, especially since there’s not one iota of actual evidence other than again (RUMORS) and until anyone’s arrested and actual evidence is presented this is just now a story that’s been about rumors the entire time and I believe the family thought they.could make some money off his death. That’s sad and a it shows how social media and all the nonsensical information told by all these armchair detectives have been nothing but detrimental to society regarding crimes. It’s ridiculous how many think’s their opinions are the only one’s that are true or should matter. Just like the ignorant people who interject when that little Chloe fr Australian was kidnapped and missing,, these armchair detectives were terrorizing her family and wasting the police officers time with nonsense on the tip lines.

One of these two, is a lawyer himself. He is not stupid, he is not deaf, nor blind. He has heard the evidence and no matter who pulled the trigger, Alex is guilty of either killing his wife and child or organising it. He was there, so he either did it or knew about it, possibly even witnessed it, to be sure they were dead. Alex was emphatic with law enforcement, questioning that they were actually dead. Alex is not telling what he knows? I agree and that would be telling the truth. Something he is incapable of. He deserves, DESERVES what he got. No one has the right to take another's life. These two brothers should be crying tears of shame, over the complete mess and mockery Alex has made of their family. The loss of their sister in law and nephew. He is their brother and l would dare say they know or at least suspect a lot more than they are telling also.

He also stated he loved the people he stole from, the closest people thought he was loving and caring. But his actions and lies hurt the most vulnerable people in that community. So to think he could never murder his loved ones, not surprising to me, because he masked his true self for every one around him to be fooled. His pretend love for everyone involved, was just that, pretend and fake, he only truly cared about himself.

I think that until Alex makes a full, honest, detailed confession, no one will stop thinking about this case. It's the only thing left to do for a number of reasons.

Come on the only reason Alec decided to come clean about his false alibi was because of his dead sons cell phone video. The only regrets he really has was not grabbing Pawpaw's cell phone when he had the chance. Using addiction as an excuse was pathetic and an insult to our intelligence the amount of milligrams he claimed to have consumed according to an addiction counselor who is also a medical doctor I know what he claimed to have been taken on a daily basis was pure BS. He would be dead and further the money he stole exceeded by far the amount he would have actually spent on his huge habit. He has now hidden millions and at least Buster knows where it's buried. He's in prison conducting business as usual giving orders to everyone over the phone having them all run around selling assets etc like he's getting out next week. Buster wasn't a liability. Poor Paul was, and he knew once Maggie found out how much he stole from his partners one who was his brother she would divorce him and she would take whatever was left after the lawsuits or whatever property that was protected in her name solely. Then he would be left with absolutely nothing. He needed one wing man and he chose Buster. He spared him his life. There's no emotion between the two of them This I love you more from the jail phone and ordering flowers for Maggie and Paul's grave was for the sake of his appeal. Randy hates him and my guess is so doesn't Buster he killed his mother and brother for God sake. It's got nothing to do with addiction, this is about entitlement and the arrogance of a narcissistic greedy monster he fooled no one and he will lose his appeal and continue to get visits from Paul and Maggie late at night while the wheels are turning in his head while trying to fall asleep. He's now a lifer until the day he dies. What A Guy.

[@aca2283]

Oh c’mon. Alex was involved in drug smuggling for years. The land deals he refers to were remote coastal land parcels that he co-owned with another well know drug smuggler. The land was ideally suited to receiving shipments of drugs from South American traffickers. Alex had also embezzled nearly 10 million dollars through the firm his brother was also a partner at. And Alex and Randy both enjoyed the special “privileges” their fathers judicial power and contacts gave them. I suspect Alex was told by his law partners (and other co-conspirators), that he would have to claim he committed all his financial and drug crimes alone. This has allowed PMPED to present itself as innocent and unaware - which is in fact a laughable claim. I also suspect Alex will be very popular in prison because of his legal skills and judicial contacts. For that reason, I don’t think prisoners will threaten him, but I suspect his family and his co-conspirators would have him dispatched if he doesn’t continue taking all the blame.

That's stupid to try Saying that would be reason to kill them!! And, I'm pretty SURE, Wife and, all Family already knew about drug use, and messed up buisiness affairs!!!!

[@toneyingram732]

And he didn't take fifteen or twenty pills a day and spent $50,000 a week on pills he wouldn't been dead a long time ago

[@homerreagan4456]

I still can’t agree that he was actually taking this much drugs and functioning. He is and has been deeply involved with some level of drug trade, I believe. Airstrip and airplane, remote farm…property on the coastline???

[@chrisirving1239]

Yes. And the wife knew nothing? The adult children, the brothers??? Bull crap

Once the cases for fraud come to court the firm will be liable to pay out to the families that were robbed.

What a sad situation.

DENIAL DOESN'T CHANGE THE TRUTH.

[@paige_on_YT]

The fact he was trying to get himself kxlled to make sure Buster got the life insurance tells me everything I need to know about what’s important to him.

[@martharoark4059]

Blame will be on the entire family name. They need to move away. . . Changing their names and never talking about this horrible legacy again.

That's what happens to people that grow up privilege. They don't know how to act when they don't get what they want He spoke on the phone 📱 on record. I did him bad. I did him real bad.

[@diane7295]

🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠 Randy, you & most people think that something FISHY went on. It was a good idea that you disassociated from AM.

[@stoffes]

no way all 5 people just died

[@elizabethgrace4697]

He has his reputation as a lawyer to salvage.

[@senzubean27]

I've been trying to make Alex's story fit another shooter and I'm convinced that guy had to be Jason Bourne. Stealth onto property, gain access to Paul's guns without anyone seeing, silence the guns, suprise Paul no defensive wounds, suprise Maggie no defensive wounds, wash off, telepathically convince Alex to lie for no reason about being at the scene, take the only phone Alex could open, look at the phone right before Alex calls it, take the same route out as Alex and chuck the phone on it, do all this on foot, get GSR on the inside of the blue coat, stow it in Almeda, make all of Alex's clothes he was wearing that day disappear, make the guns disappear. This person also is an internet troll who has alot of hate and "has thought about this for a long time."

[@shiningwhitelight9710]

I like your synopsis 👍

[@blingqueen2235]

👏👏👍🏻

[@kassi.3570]

💯🎯💯🎯

[@xxthewacherxx9578]

yep Randy and John Marvin guilty AF!

[@whowillsaveyou3554]

wait, you need to add the part about cleaning the scene and leaving zero trace of blood anywhere after shooting 2 people at close range, driving the golf cart 1/4 mile back to the house, no blood on it either, disposing of the guns, changing clothes and maybe a shower, all in 17 minute maximum before leaving in the suburban that had no blood in it.

[@aussiecatlady]

This brother is crazy to wonder who pulled the trigger

[@byBeauxARTFULIVING]

just as buster sat on the stand and under oath said that paul was not driving the boat, brothers lie for each other, EVEN if they dont like each other.

[@debbieryan170]

He was close enough to go to Steven Smiths crime scene,take his phone records and cover what was done up

[@sherrylynn1385]

SLED should be investigated as well. They knew that this wasn’t a hit and run, and let it go. They let this family go because of the ties they have with law enforcement. That’s BS

[@5cloudwalker]

seriously? doubt? where are the 2 family’s guns used in the murder? Why did Maggie say to a friend after talking to Alex @something’s fishy” Where are Alex’s clothes he had on just prior to the murder? Why did Alex suggest to the house keeper he was visiting his father house linger than he was? Drug addiction makes you do ANYTHING to keep the supply coming!!!

[@XIIAN1MALIIX]

He would’ve killed his own mother if it meant he’d get his fix.

[@AnneRose-um1mb]

@@XIIAN1MALIIX I think his drug use was probably much less than he led everyone to believe.

[@XIIAN1MALIIX]

@@AnneRose-um1mb I mean sure. Theorizing that a habitual liar was being dishonest is like assuming water is wet. You could be totally correct but drug addiction isn’t an assumption, it’s a scientific fact.

[@sallystepp1964]

Did Alex father actual tell Alex right before he died to get rid of Paul? So sad. Paul knew a lot too.

[@emmalynch6735]

Buster was kicked out of law school for cheating. They got the right person when they got alex.

[@wordnerd2005]

I WISH THIS ENTIRE SAD SITUATION WOULD BE PUT TO REST. WE WILL NEVER KNOW EVERY DETAIL , BUT WE KNOW ENOUGH TO PUT THIS MATTER TO REST. REPORTERS HAVE GOTTEN ENOUGH MONEY OUT OF THIS STORY.

[@jeffcollins7311]

If your wife and son had their heads blown out, you think you be saying things like “we need to find these killers.” Never happened with Alex. That’s very telling. His brothers know damn well he lied his whole life and committed the murders. Their whole family was based on shame and privilege.

[@inkblot131]

If tomorrow someone confessed to the trigger pulls, Alex, being there, makes him guilty.

[@rayray8687]

If tomorrow Alex himself confessed to the murders there would still be a handful of groupies who’d say he’s innocent, lol.

[@lianecornils6603]

The 2005 murder took place in Madison. The 1996 murder took place in Rockford Illinois. The 2022 murder happened in South Carolina, Culminating in death in St. Petersburg Florida.

[@janiceleighton7348]

Well the family know he's a lier and for many years he probly lied as a kid

[@nickisnyder3450]

This guy helped Alex cover up the Steve murder for Buster. In essence he helped Alex in the subsequent crimes. Alexs main motive for the killings was to not have anyone on the outside taking his money, (maggie) or costing him money (paul) ...while he served his slap on the hand sentence for the white collar crimes. He knew he could control Buster bc of the leverage he has on him. (Thx to this brother Randy). It NEVER occurred to Alex that anyone would dare question his story. He & his whole family are in complete shock & now under the microscope.

[@chrisbarnett4164]

I dont think he pulled the trigger. But he knows who did and he's scared to say.

[@lovelystar4411]

Money is the root of evil.

When I here about that race of people killing their family I don't pay no tention been going on for hundreds of years

[@melissalove2463]

The whole family is shady !

[@jeanettelemcool8881]

what I keep wondering is this....if Alex was so addicted to opioids that he was taking up to 60 Oxy a day, how come he did not have any serious withdrawls when he had to go cold turkey in jail?

[@skibee420]

he was getting them from the inmates. that's why he insisted on the money in his acc. for someone else.

[@user-vg5iu4xz8d]

Some people never have enough more more then nothing 🤦

[@janekingsmill4280]

Randy and Alex are from the same family and are blood relatives. He can never dispute that!

[@dandydon6049]

Old news

[@pennyspringdoor]

He would have been better to have called Saul, before he blew them away.

[@noraoconnor1895]

Well, the people in that county now need to stand together in future and ask the hard questions of their law enforcement and lawyers. A lot of things went on there that seem v questionable ,!! no family should have that amount of power in any county. the ole boys club seem v alive there.!

[@billdavisp7214]

Alex is as guilty as sin a Innocent person doesn't need a lawyer sitting in while the police are interviewing him

[@remycallie]

Well, actually you do.
