I’m so sick of that “good ol’ southern boy” act that he’s trying to put on. His repeatedly saying “Um, um, um” and continuing to ask the prosecutor the same question that the prosecutor just asked him as if he’s so stupid that he can’t comprehend is ridiculous. And what about the use of “Paw Paw, Mags, Bus, Ro-Ro and all of that nonsense? He’s a complete monster and I don’t understand how Maggie had the stomach to be married to him for all of those years. 🤮

Well you can tell both Buster and Paul as well as their underage friends were all out of control and Paul's gf was even seen in pics holding a beer for Alex, like he was about to shotgun it and they were high school age! I'm not victim blaming in the least but there was a toxic relationship within that whole clan of family from generation to generation and Maggie enjoyed the fruits of his crimes and once got $10,000 at Christmas! And I'll go further because I use to sell insurance, all lines, in NC and WHY there was not more checks and balances on the insurance and lawyer sides so that people get what they have coming to them, is beyond me! A simple certified letter to the injured party when a claim is settled FROM THE INSURANCE CARRIER MAKING THE PAYOUT, so they knew they were notified and of how much over how many years, would have kept those attorneys honest!

[@eagleclaw1179]

It’s not about thinking he is guilty or innocent. I think he is guilty of either killing them or having them killed, but if I was on that jury I would be the hung juror. The investigators blew it. They didn’t preserve the crime scene. There were tire tracks that didn’t belong to Alex’s vehicle and they didn’t preserve them and drove right over them. There is so much they didn’t do. Why has no one gone to where the truck stopped and searched a half mile radius around that spot for the missing clothes? I would never sentience someone to life in prison or a death sentence for murder without direct evidence. He could’ve lied simply because he knew he was the primary suspect being the spouse. There is WAY to much reasonable doubt. When in the history of crime have you ever heard of a family member cleaning up a crime scene? This whole thing was blown by sloppy half ass investigators.

His father would have to walk up closer to literally blow his brains out. I often wondered if he cried out anything but I guarantee Paul would have turned to see wtf just happened. Maggie would have heard or even seen that 1st shot, if not the 1st, she would have seen the 2nd shot I believe because the 1st shot to her was to her front lower torso. If she watched her husband blow their son's brains out, I can't imagine what disbelief and betrayal she must of felt. Then he turned on her.
