Brilliant testimony !

[@jdknight-mark633]

Condescending prosecution. I sat across the street watching my business living loft and all things involved. As for memory at that time, I wasn’t even sure if I had property insurance…just homeless with no income or potential of income. No money and looking for a a crappy rental that would accept me and 6 rescue pets. Waters is prompting the dialogue ruthlessly.

[@Dev-qs7ss]

Im an addict and his claim of taking 60 oxys a day is just complete bs. He's a real pos for blaming him murdering his family on his completely exaggerated addiction

[@thetruecrimeconnoisseur]

Omg I was going to comment the same 😂 This dude is so full of it. Who tf takes up to 100 pills/day???? Total and utter 🐂💩

[@Landrew1208]

Me too and the lie that Alex spent 500k on pills is absurd! Ppl should note Alex's constant sniffing on the police videos. He was crushing those pills and the night of the murders, Alex was completely numb in the brain. He can barely keep a thought with all of that medicine 💊 dripping down his throat, while he is in the car with David.

[@toni3270]

17:55 Creighton Waters had me cracking up when he told Alex he didn't need to hear Barrett's life story....lmao; that man is one bad ass prosecutor; love his style!

[@sheilamull6769]

You found that humorous also? Lol

[@annebiggins7180]

Can you imagine Maggie knew all his evil ways! She & Paul were close. They knew Alex would leave the family. Look at the family photos. Buster is near Alex. Paul was always near Maggie in all the pictures! Sure Blanca found pills in Alex clothes pockets at occasions. Probably she heard some of Alex's phone conversations knowing they were shady! It's not like the family woke up as a surprise! Both Father & brothers tried to fix Alex for years! Pandora's box finally opened!!

[@Cant_stop_thinking]

It's too bad he can't, because he's an attorney, say "Do you mean the same man who was accused of using his shrimp boat to smuggle drugs? - but managed to wiggle out of legal trouble?"

[@Cant_stop_thinking]

The Barrett story told more than he intended. He makes it clear he thinks omission isn't lying. According to his story he ended up paying a bigger share on a real estate deal back in '08 or '09 so that justifies keeping ALL of the settlement owed to a man dying of cancer. A man who asked for help because he needed money for a motel so his wife could stay close by. He seemed pretty self satisfied about it. Almost gleeful. No stammering then. He even sat up straighter. The fact that he thought it excused his theft, like being so petty was some type of justice - It shows he's not just heartless but actively SPITEFUL. ANGER and HATE in his heart.

[@Cant_stop_thinking]

@@annebiggins7180 Maybe the former long time housekeeper heard something she wasn't supposed to; Or he saw her find something, like his drugs when she was just in the room to empty the trash - bad timing. 🤔 I think he pushed her. Why? Because he didn't want dogs in the house. Even Maggie being a dog lover didn't change the "no dog's allowed" policy. In fact, if I heard right didnt the dogs have shock collars? Not just to keep them on the propety, but also out of the house.

[@elizabethwells6748]

He stole millions of dollars from his law firm and it wasn’t detected for 9 years? It sounds like someone wasn’t doing their job.

@Linda K I'd be willing to say that Maggie probably knew her husband was a liar, but stayed for all the luxuries you've mentioned; sad, but it seems so many of these cases involve money and people living high on the hog these days; some pay the ultimate price for that stuff in the end!

New to case me to. It really bothered me when he was talking about Paul. He had mentioned in his jail calls about the net fix series. He spends that time talking about Paul giving life advice to friends because it was in that series when Paul gives ridiculous advice. That’s your last thoughts on your son. The whole testimony was so unreal all about things that could be directly shown on data. Not a true event you are describing. The jury wanted a real person not a lawyer . The most hillariois thing in whole case is after he learns Maggie phone found and comes up with story of her coming up to house and a cat fleeing the scene with the phone to explain the data.

[@taritabonita22]

[@CommishsPlace]

The fact that he clearly struggles throughout this cross-examination indicates his guilt. An innocent man's truthful testimony would have flowed flawlessly, yet this is actually painful to watch because he is a guilty man consciously trying to cover his tracks.

My dad passed away in May 19th 2018 my husband received a call from my grandmother at around 12pm. He came back in told me my father had passed away suddenly from a unexpected heart attack. The last time I talked to my father was May 17th at 2am he had just gotten back home from the local bar and I remember almost every word of our conversation, not knowing it would be the last time I talked to him. I can recite our text messages from the week before he died so no I do not believe him. Was it because I kept playing those things over in my head repeatedly trying to figure out if I had missed something or because it was all I had left was our words, probably both. So no I do not believe he doesn’t remember what his last words were to his wife and son. What bullshit.

True. Similarly there was a moment just before the judge finished saying "Alex, Als, Al, maybe you didn't do it..... the monster you became did it" where I thought the judge was going to say he didn't do it, but then by the time he finished his sentence, the one where he said "Alex, Als or Al, maybe you didn't do it" and then "....the MONSTER you became did it", that's the moment I realised that the judge wasn't saying maybe he didn't do it, he was saying he DID do it, but not as himself, as the monster.

@@Memblesberry yes Richard. I could see Alex chomping on the bit with a second of hearing the judge say maybe he didn't do it. Then Alex got shut down when judge finished his sentence. And a part of me hopes it was intentional from the judge.

Also when he said "And for the murder of Paul the son you PROBABLY love so much". DAMN.

@@kc-lp6wg yea and the bit at the end where the Judge was like "I rest MY case, YOUR honour" and mic-dropped the hammer on the lecturn before walking away. It was so badass and I guess it was a reference to the fact that Alec used to be in law enforcement.
