[@TracyDale007]

Eric & Ronnie are on the right side of the law. Much respect to both of these guys.

[@terriholliday8038]

People are going to think we are related…it is a little weird…

[@DorothyJanetoo]

What fascinates me about this crime is the fact that after getting $4.3 million they didn’t cover their tracks by giving the Satterfield sons the $500000 they thought they would get. The greed is breath taking!

[@BlackStump172]

That occurred to me too .

[@margaretriley6428]

Alec promised the 100,000 each and never gave them a penny. Those amounts were all the Boys expected. Their greed was discusting.!

[@americanmeteoritefan9670]

Part of the problem is that it's so difficult for plaintiffs to get the information on their own cases. Sure my lawyer says he won $41 million on my case, but when only he pays me $9,000 there's nothing I can do to find out if I was entitled to more... nothing. This isn't just a low country thing guys, my former lawyer Girardi did the same to us here in California,only without the family annihilation.

[@Loveandrelationshipcoach]

I wonder if its a complete disregard for their client's life? Its like the clients are only a means to their end.

[@girlfromsouth214]

"Two mutts from nowhere," who took on the entire system, bull dogs and all. Sounds like the making of a Disney Movie. Eric and Ronnie play so well off each other. Their clients and the people of SC are fortunate to have them.

[@adjustedfate]

Yes, the American way, teach them young. Lol

[@feistyoldgal8257]

What a wonderful interview! You can see how Ronnie and Eric form such a great partnership with their different take on things.

[@janebrennan4691]

It is so very interesting to hear from these attorneys who are razor sharp, both of them. Thank God for men with integrity AND balls.

[@MsBro22]

GREAT INTERVIEW!! Ronnie and Eric, class act! Keep up the good work. If the world was full of Ronnie's and Eric's, our justice system would be just!

[@bethsline]

Thank God for the good guys. We need you all here in SC.

[@melanieholmquist4494]

Such an insightful discussion! Wow…I have no words 😶 Keep up the great work!

[@mariapilarme]

I had a case that I reported a web page doing illegal things to the California Bar association. They took this case seriously and it affected me directly. It took 7 months to investigate from their part and finally they told me I was right and they shoot down that web page. People can also make a difference reporting abuse. Thanks for your job we as regular citizens appreciate your efforts of accountability.

[@americanmeteoritefan9670]

Aww that's so sweet. Wish I had had that experience when I repeatedly contacted the bar about my attorney withholding $41 million in settlement funds for several years and giving no plausible explanation for the measly settlements we were finally given. The California Bar needs to prove they've removed every person who covered my lawyer's fraud for twenty years. Web pages about him quickly erased my every comment or rating...they're easy.

[@Oceanlover4ever]

I love all these guys! Great job!!! Thank you for shining light on this corruption so needed change can happen.

[@laineelkin822]

Bland and Richter are proof of doing what right! Good job guys!

[@laurafasc6926]

I am so appreciative of this discussion, so many fundamental lessons, thank you all!

[@bobgilbert7362]

Fascinating discussion. These guys appear to be lawyers that are a credit to the profession. I do believe the judicial problems in SC are systemic and deep.

[@billhorne482]

Forget SC it's the entire nation.Every city,every town it's so prevalent it's ridiculous I would.watch my lawyer like a thief in the night.Doctors are the same way they can't be depended on to police themselves.AMA helps crooked Drs.hide instead of bringing to light.The Bar is the law's version.🙏❤️🐊🌴☀️☝️💪👊🤘✌️🗽🇺🇸🤠🛻🦖🧟🗿🗿

Thanks for fighting for the truth to come to light and holding public officials accountable. It's so disgusting to me that people with money use it to beat the system with their nefarious activity, and it's money they've STOLEN from folks that would get the book thrown at them if they did the same.

The rumblings of the deeper crimes related to Alex Murdaugh are a sign of what is yet to be revealed. We haven’t heard half of the truth about the corruption and abuse of power in SC.

Oh I believe it was intentional overlook. I believe many people are involved, I simply can't fathom how anyone could do this alone because it's impossible.

[@margaretriley6428]

When they started bailing Alec out with the firms money, they should have known bad deals were happening by Alec. They just didn't want to ruffle any Murdaugh feathers. They even flew under the radar for years. Unreal the whole deal.

Omg. At 1:03 EB says, this is going to be a tough trial, because everyone’s dead, we don’t have any hidden witnesses and dead men don’t tell tales. And then we find out about the video. Wow. That’s some foreshadowing.

[@trish818]

Ironic now that the trial is over that a dead man did tell the tale. Paul's phone sealed the deal on Alex's lies about being there.

[@iloveTRUMP]

Was that physical evidence the kennel vid???

[@giveadoggyabone1]

Wow, ERIC, you are a BULLDOG, major kudos to you! I learned so much from this interview. And, I thought that same thing immediately, I bet this kind of stealing from clients goes on a lot bc clients aren't educated, don't dig, are afraid and don't follow the money to the penny. I definitely feel in Eric's case, coming from nothing makes him so much more full of integrity. Also, consider if Alex is found guilty of murdering Gloria Satterfield, that makes him a serial killer. I don't hear anyone talking about that! Does anyone think Ronnie Richter is Kevin Nealon's (SNL) doppelganger?

[@valerieshealy741]

The medical examiner needs to be sitting in a cell too. This was clearly obstruction of justice. Kuddos to Lieutenant Moore for the work he did in pushing the fact with the medical examiner that this incident was not a hit and run, due to his years of experience he instinctively knew this was NOT a hit and run.

[@bumblebaa2327]

oooh Eric Bland talking about Alec weaving a web! These are the same words that judge Newman used 9 months later when he scolded Alec Murdaugh at sentencing for the murders, Alec used these words to tell that he lied and then kept on lying. Blend being hip and/or clear voyant @52:30

[@rehab5355]

He was a good con man...are con-men intelligent? There are different gifts bestowed upon mankind. Emotional Intelligence is an illusive kind of game that well-played can be used for good or bad...We see the science of it everyday in Advertising, News so forth and so on.... great line from Judge Newman about alec using the wheels of the law to do his biding!

[@donnacook3079]

It's a BIG PROBLEM!

[@donnacook3079]

Bingo Mr. Bland..how many politicians can fall..Dick Harpootlian needs to step down..voters hopefully will realize if Harpootlian will work for Murdaugh, he has definitely worked with him.

[@timchilders3535]

I kinda get the impression, that lots of voters, would simply see Harpootlian in a pretty negative light, simply for attempting to defend Alex. His charges are staggering, and it's taking some major, and very sketchy shenanigans to defend the practically indefensible. All individuals are entitled to a defense in the US justice system, but some are very awkward, at best, to effect a defense for. Dick Harpootlian has had a long, successful career, and it's not like he's in his early career, nor in his prime....he's definitely nearing the twilight of his career. It's not like he has his entire career at risk of being poisoned from exposure representing Alex Murdaugh.

[@Ieezeca]

Eric Bland himself said Harpootlian was masterful, and I've been impressed watching the trial. I hope I'm as sharp as DH when I'm that old.

[@donnacook3079]

[@donnacook3079]

@@timchilders3535 it is bc of him being corrupt as alex murdaugh

[@timchilders3535]

@@Ieezeca Absolutely, same here. I've said in several posts over the months, that it's not a projection of whether I feel like Alex is guilty or innocent, when I talk about how talented and masterful Harpootlian is in the courtroom. He's been in over 100 murder trials, on both sides of the tables. Lots of folks don't like lawyers by definition, but I do admire how sharp and skilled Dick is at his craft. He can play mental gymnastics with the best of them, and as I've also already mentioned, underestimate Harpootlian and Griffin, and you're a fool. Thank you for your reply🙂👍

[@valerieshealy741]

Does getting ones case in front of “the right judge” make one a good lawyer ?????? If you watch the recent conversation Senator DH had with the Senate regarding whether legislators should appoint Judges in South Carolina vs an election process, DH slipped (if you listen) about a large case he had in Texas. DH himself stated he felt they were losing the case until the presiding Judge left and another took his place. DH was tickled to let everyone know that, THAT judge was a “friend” of theirs and the case then took a turn in their favor. This does not make one an excellent lawyer. Senator DH has no moral compass and has no qualms about “winning” a case with whatever it takes. It’s not difficult to run the schoolyard when you’re proud to be the bully. There is nothing wrong with the system ! What is wrong, are the lawyers such as DH who participate in unsavory conduct and prostitute the system. How do decent, moral, upstanding lawyers go up against these type of lawyers? Fight fire with fire? Ergo what we are facing in our Legislative, Judicial and Executive branches of government today. It’s a cancer. Maybe I’m naive, but if I worked as hard as lawyers and judges have to work, I’d want to walk away with the type of nationwide respect that Judge Newman, Attorney Waters and Attorney Tinsley walked away with. Who is John Galt ?

Throughout the United States birds with lawyers and judges it’s a big problem! It would be awesome if every state had lawyers that were ethical and self policing. But if they’re not going to ban somebody within the county and the state has to step up to the plate and shine the light on corruption. Both were small years and the justices. It is epidemic!
