Lab technician discusses tarp in Alex Murdaugh trial

[@llamamama2910]

Why isn’t the attorney gloved up?

[@Crazybird-3]

He clearly committed these murders as I have believed since day 1. I still belive as I did right after the murders, that the investigation of this crime scene was NOT properly handled on purpose. As Mandy reported in the Murdaugh murders podcast, Duffy stone and his team were involved from the start in this investigation . Alex and the rest of the Murdaugh family is a close friend of his and Alex counted on his team to do the investigation. Knowing he would not face charges for their Murder. Sled may have been called in that night to investigate but it is very clear to everyone that they did NOT investigate like they would have done if it were John Smith or any regular person that made this 911 call. They always investigate the 911 caller or husband of the person murdered 1st because most of the time they are the person who did it. None of Alex's interviews with police had any questions to this nature. Then receiving a search warrant for the whole property they do NOT search the home for clothes,blood weapons that night. Days later or weeks they search the home. Excuse me did they just ensure he had tie to get rid of the evidence!!! Letting all the people onto the property, inside the home and all over the crime scene. Everyone is very upset at their intentional contaminating and not even collecting or trying to collect evidence that would prove Alex did this. Everyone knows sled is not this stupid or sloppy.The good ol boy was being protected because of who he is. The family shocks the Hell out of me that they knowing Alex did this to Maggie and Paul and helping him get away with it. Do they not get that they are showing that they didn't love Maggie and Paul at all by doing this. How can they close their eyes and sleep at night. Maggie may be Alex brothers "inlaw" but Paul was their beloved nephew. Busters little brother. How can they show him such disrespect after what Alex did to him and his mother. They may not have believed it in the beginning but with all that has come out in the trial they have to know the truth. They should want Alex dads body exumed to see if the murder weapons are in deed in his coffin. If they don't then clearly they never loved Aggie and Paul. I don't care if it were my brother that did this to my family . I would want justice for the victims and let my brother suffer and pay for his actions not help him get away with it. For the rest of their lives they will be haunted by their actions and never find happiness in their lives.

I found it odd that Alec touched both Maggie and Paul yet was spotless when he was photographed, indicating he had showered and cleaned up before police arrived. Not to mention, Alec was wearing different clothes when he was found by police than the clothes he was wearing when Paul filmed him just before the murders. This is further evidence that Alec hid incriminating evidence of his complicity in these two murders.

If the state loses this case it’s because of the negligence, whether intentional or not, of SLED investigators and the forensic (lack of) evidence that they never bothered to collect. The house and entire property should have been a crime scene not just at the kennel. Also, including Alex’s mothers house and property. The housekeeper stated that there were dirty clothes and wet towels on the floor at the house , where someone obviously had taken a shower, but investigators didn’t think it was important? Conveniently, any evidence was washed away by the housekeeper the following day, at Alex’s request for her to make sure the house was in order.

The prosecutor tried so hard to avoid calling that a rain coat, jacket(because it undermines their case)

[@LollyMarie1]

Probably because it's multi-purpose article. It can be used for a tarp, a tent, a poncho and has one other demonstrated use (according to the ad I saw for the product.)

@@LollyMarie1 wow that’s good to know! Had no idea Thank you for posting this.

[@melatijan]

Enthousiastic dude, but what about she wearing gloves he's not haha showing the rain jacket

[@ceciliac2225]

Physical evidence has already tested in lab, retrieved all necessary evidence. Therefore, no need to wear gloves to handle them. Ms. Hall is used to gloves wearing procedures.

[@KristinaAmadorable]

I like how the woman is using gloves when handling the evidence but the lawyer is just “free balling” it. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

No better way to hide a blue kagool put it inside a blue tarp .

That court room seems small, where is the jury sitting?

[@cccsssish]

In the jury box and it's not that small

[@StonedBarbiee]

The same place they always sit in a courthouse. The jury box Have you seen the amount of people in the seats That’s a lot definitely not a small court room.

[@misswildlife7905]

it is to our right of the prosecutors table.

[@surpriseimblack]

Where is the jury sitting is a really dumb question

[@robertafierro5592]

I know this is about the Blue Tarp, but I can't help thinking about the 4 million dollar settlement for the Saterfield b

They should test the inside of pockets

Is this a gong show??? You want us to believe this is how all cases are convened???? OMG

[@reginaworthey1401]

I need some help here. These attorneys keep acting like they don't already know what the witnesses are going to say. Like it's just as much news to them, as to the jury. Don't they depose the witnesses? Are the attorneys asking questions to which they don't know the answers?

[@GorfLlubz]

they know they are just proving it to jury

[@puppylove2493]

they have to do that because jurors are not as educated on what is happening..just like in basic training you could have a doctorate, but they are instructing you as if you are in third grade

[@laurelmiller2550]

This lawyer ĥas a good olboy feeling and should be disbarred on so many levels

No doubt…..Guilty

[@candicane1]

Alec Murdaugh done killed everybody! He killed the housekeeper, Gloria; he killed the young man, Stephen (probably bc one of his sons was in a relationship with him); his son killed Mallory on the boat (Alec provided the boat so I’m blaming him for her death too just because); he killed wife Maggie and his son Paul; then he went on to accelerate the death of his ill father who died just 3 days after his wife and son were murdered. He killed his father too because he was trying to collect on that estate and some insurance money. Murdaugh the Murderer!

[@Gapeachy3000]

I think Paul killed the house keeper!

[@Woof728]

He was so distraught about the murders and the death of his father that he made small talk with the care giver about her impending wedding!

[@williamphillips2239]

Is there some disease that AM has that causes him to have these constant head-bobs and rocking motions...like Parkinson's or something! It really is bizarre! He was really doing it a lot in the original police interview in the car ...after the murder ...and still doing the head-bobbing in the courtroom!

People are so odd. Most taking the witness stand are nervous or at least very serious. This lady acts like she is opening up wedding shower gifts.

[@judysibley1066]

How do you think she should have done it?

[@FleagleSangria]

@@judysibley1066 I think her facts were fine. Not sure she should have "done it" any differently. I just find her demeanor to not match the occassion. Just strikes me as odd.

True🤣

[@newt1834]

It means given the testimony of timeline today that he called 911 than after he arrived and hit park of the gear that his comment about getting out the vehicle, running to or discovering his lifeless loved ones, checking their pulse before calling 911 is a trip especially if no blood was in those shoes. Timeline also showed time of park and 911 calls was 20secs.
