This is very disgusting. This guy is a pos. He knows this is the last time he will ever be able to speak publicly. He's only sorry that he won't ever again have the life of comfort, priviledge and power. It's dipicable that he focused mostly on his brother and son and not all of his victims.

[@neryskkiran1820]

He's trying to pull at their heart strings, but they don't need to hear anything from him. I can't imagine any of HIS recollections are making their eyes water. They probably just wanted an apology. Or to see what kind of BS he'd try to spin this time. They sure got another reminder of how this guy has no ability to see a world where he isn't at the center.

All of the victims have received their money back and in fact some received more than they were owed.

[@Lisa-mf6vy]

Judge Newman is amazing. But...did the victims tell you what they wanted to hear? Friendly reminder that you do not actually know any of these people and this apology may have meant the world to them. We don't know. But it's his right to apologize, and their right to hear it.

Why he would want to speak just sit down and be quiet and take his punishment. Nothing he says would change anything 😢

[@USAMAGATrump]

At least we didn't have to witness the snot running out of his nose 😅

[@Islandgirl29585]

How and why were people in the courtroom allowed to have their cell phones and to be ALLOWED to film Alec in court?!!!

[@OneLaw214]

Because Alex has no rights except Miranda.

Absolutely disgusting letting this psychopath address his victims, only to compliment his family and speak about people falsely accused. He’s vacant of a soul.

[@Kittylover0211]

Agreed! I’m surprised the court allowed him to clear his conscience making himself the victim!

[@KaliYugaSurfing]

I think he genuinely feels bad, but only just because he got caught. And he tries to make it seem like he feels bad for what he did.

[@KaliYugaSurfing]

I see a little boy in grown man's body. He doesn't have a conscience because he is emotionally undeveloped?

[@Lisa-mf6vy]

I'm pretty sure the financial victims appreciated his apology. You sound bitter about something that didn't happen to you. To be real, Alex is the devil incarnate but to say he shouldn't apologize is insane lmao 😂

[@Lisa-mf6vy]

Also, Buster is another victim here. And his address to his son is the same as the others. An apology. Soften your heart a bit lol

[@ninachkah13]

I was a heavy iv heroin/cocaine user up until almost a year ago. I wanted to die, bc my life was in shambles and ivwas ashamed of who i jad become and wanted to take my life. BUT my partner and children abd my parents are the the reason i found strength to get better. What i DID NOT DO was try to pin the outcone of my problems ON those people that i love the most. So my point is, I can very much understand and even sympathize with the insidious nature of addiction, but i CAN FKN NOT fathom this liar's murderous actions (Lil edit: Just remebered I was in treatment in Feb '23 watching the start of this trial)

[@KohalaLover]

You are righteous. Best wishes on your future.

[@annierambo5606]

[@healingnature888]

[@mommazed1]

He's manipulating every ones emotions. So so sad. Of course he's sorry because he got caught.

[@JRoChi]

So, basically AM wants everyone to believe HE is the victim? 🤬 What a disgusting human being. All he needed to say was, “I can’t express just how sorry I am. There is no excuse for my behavior. I lied, cheated, and stole from people who trusted me with their lives. I will spend the rest of my life thinking about the pain I caused.” Period. What he actually did was a theatrical performance for the cameras.

[@talkingwithtarafirma]

He should have only been allowed to address the people he stole from to apologize or to the court. Not be able to get on a soap box to talk about anything he wanted to say.

[@Theresa-zx7yp]

A captive audience and of course an opportunity to proclaim his innocence of murder, slaughter of his wife and son......never shocked by the sincere lack of remorse while the words roll from the tongue of a man devoid of true emotion

[@cubbyvespers6389]

He is a bundle of human emotion. What are you talking about? Perhaps you have some sort of syndrome that prevents you from seeing it and are projecting that onto a man who made some awful mistakes because of his disease of addiction.

[@dr.patrickkingsboroughmart8050]

​@@cubbyvespers6389Hi Cubby, Theresa's core point was that he was primarily exhibiting self-centered and self-serving emotions such as self-pity instead of being an expression of a truely guilt-ridden conscience pertaining to his culpability for the double-murder.

“It’s important to me…” over and over. Nobody gives a damn what is important to you.

[@RealTigress]

You kind of wonder if he gets a new trial for the murders and is somehow acquitted, he’ll be out again at some point. I think there’s some mental abnormality there, as well as the drugs, to an extent, but just a really dangerous psychopath because he’s a good actor. What he did to his own son is one of the worst, maybe the worst thing I’ve ever heard of in my life

Im not convinced he’s totally full of crap here. He isnt trying to convince a jury that he is innocent or anything like that, and he has already been served a life sentence. Not sure he deserves any latitude, but there might be a grain of actual contrition here.

[@vegandolls]

there's definitely no contrition. not even a grain. He's literally still denying he did anything. It's absurd

[@pipermccool]

It’s possible, we’ll never know for sure.

It doesn't matter though because if he didn't do it then he knows who did and he's not talking so he deserves his sentence

he looks and sounds like he's addressing a jury in a trial. there is not a genuine, authentic bone in his body. edit: if he'd spent ALL of the money he was stealing on drugs, he'd have keeled over YEARS ago. it's why i think he was involved in something more sinister and complicated than drug addiction.

[@Lisa-hc3uq]

Alexs lies about being a drug addict are a joke. He's right up there on the scumbag scale of POS's with Charlie Adelson, who claims he was extorted and had nothing to do with his ex brother inlaws execution. Are these two men out of their minds? They have to be. Here you have 2 men who had everything to live for, money, luxurious life styles, they were accomplished, had degrees, and had the world at their fingertips, and they throw it all away?? For what? Control? Power? I don't get it. They had everything, and now they'll live in a cage for the rest of their lives with zero freedom. I don't get it.

[@leecee1833]

A person convicted of such crimes can be unshackled and allowed to speak...this is what encourages the wrongdoing of others.

[@jenniferwbc]

IMO- someone like him doesn’t think “I hurt Maggie and Paul” by murdering them. Someone like him thinks, “I’m actually saving Maggie and Paul by murdering them so that they won’t have to endure the embarrassment of my crimes and addictions coming into the light” as a way of justifying their murder over nothing but shame. Buster and Alec’s parents were probably also on his shortlist.

[@CarbonOwl993]

Why didn’t you pray before innocent people were murdered? Why are you not praying for the 2 slain victims and the people who are grieving? You pray for evil because you’re evil and you trick yourself into thinking you’re moral. I pray for those who are suffering not for those who cause suffering. Pray for a new outlook on the people you show compassion for because you leave the innocent forgotten and the malicious liars with leniency. Your God will judge his actions not you. You’ll be judged on your misdirected compassion towards the devil. You’re misguided pray for yourself first before you step on more victims

[@martelbaran2244]

He is such a fake person, lying continuously to make it like he is sorry, and I do not accept that. He is convicted of murder and the money theft and claims the reason is because of his addiction and need for the money, again I do not believe his lies, no way can a person perform as he did, for as long as he had, and not one person come forward to point out the addiction. He needs to stay in a cell, forever, and not ever get out. He deserves all of the incarceration time that he is given, and I pray his appeal does not get granted. Disgusting human.
