She was there a lot but nothing special had happened and they had work done at the house she was in so it is not weird to wait a day or two but it had to be that day both her and Paul had to come to moselle

[@WVgrl59]

She was at her beloved Edisto beach house and didn't want to go to the hunting place. She probably only went because Paul was going since she told family and friends that Alex was acting fishy. She might have been worried to be around him by herself but probably had no fears with Paul being there. I heard that he might have been paranoid about the police being there because he had a bag of pills in his pocket. Are those the pills that Paul and Maggie/housekeeper found in his computer bag? Is that why Alex really rolled paul over to get the bag of pills out of his pocket? Did he question Paul while he was still alive as to where the pills were, rolled him over to remove the bag then shot him again?

On afternoon June 7th, his father had to be readmitted. Doctor felt that it could be pneumonia (well treatable), if it was a cancer complication, it would be more dangerous. Alex M. was saved by the bell he was just in a tense confrontation with the CFO of the lawfirm about a missing cheque. During the conversatiion he got the call that his dad was worse. Actually I think he may have exaggerated it, and it worked. Lawfirm was like a big family, everyone knew his father, CFO got out of his hair, they ended the conversation, she assumed he would drive over to the hospital - he didn't. CFO testified the talk was (early) afternoon, he claimed it was around 4 pm. He arrived at Moselle around 7pm, so it might be true that he worked some time after the conversation with the CFO ended (his testimony). According to one of his brothers the situation with the father was initially not that bad (which makes me think AM found it convenient to be more dramatic about the father in the hospital). In the next days it turned out that it was not pneumonia, and indeed he died on June 10th. But I very much assume he had agreed with Maggie before Monday that she would come to Moselle, she also had made her appointments for nails. She did not come for the "passing" because that wasn't an issue on Sunday or Monday. Father got admitted around noon I think.

Drugs weren't the problem. That was a complete exaggeration of the facts. Yes Alex may have been abusing prescription pills but opioids don't make a person paranoid, they put that person to sleep.

[@dot1spot]

I don’t think it was 100% bad or she wouldn’t have stayed with him. But over time drug abuse and the stress of that can build up. I personally think Maggie was in denial about how serious his drug addiction was. I doubt she knew how many pills he was actually taking daily. I think that’s common when living with an addict. The addiction almost feels normal. I think she trusted Alex completely with the finances and didn’t pay attention to any of that. Alex was making a lot of money by anyone’s standards. It doesn’t seem he ever gave her any guidance or set out a budget. It appears she spent whatever she wanted and was none the wiser. Alex spoiled Maggie and his sons. I suppose he was just thought being a good provider. That’s a lot of pressure to be the sole support of 3 people. I think some unhealthy stuff was going on here but nothing justifies murder.

Those that were injured were bullied while in hospital to NOT say it was Paul. (Alex and the grandfather went from hospital room to hospital room). btw it was the boat of his parents. And if someone would have taken over from the son of the owners - wouldn't it have been a SOBER person that would not crash the boat. The bf of the dead girl is recorded on the scene, all are on the shore but she was missed and he is desperate. he yelled at Paul: You killed her. As per Netflix docu the young people had an argument over it, at one point the boat was idle, then Paul got abusive to his then gf. The girl who died and her friend sat in the back, and were apprehensive, the young man thought Paul was going too fast, but he refused to listen to them. When Paul was asked to let someone else drive he said: It is MY goddamn boat. No it wasn't. His father bought it with a loan and he used money from a secret account (for the stolen money) to pay for it. Anyway: even if it had been properly bought - that entitled young man never had earned enough money to pay for a boat.

[@franziskani]

@@Therealmcoy1918 Even worse the family tried to blame someone else as driver. Bullying witnesses (did not work they are in the Netflix docu) and the young man they tried to frame had injuries that were not consistent with being at the controls (as per police investigation). But they would easily have unleashed a criminal investigation and a civil lawsuit for damages on HIM. For millions if his parents could pay for that. For _their_ parental failures. Maggie must have been fine with that. Saying that she still (till her death) did not "believe" that paul was the one that is to blame for manslaughter can mean 2 things. Saving face is more important than anything else, even if talking with her sister. And even if a young woman lost her life. Or she was delusional. Paul could do no wrong. Never mind overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Never mind he was known to drink heavily since he was a teenager. No wonder he turned out to be like he was.

She would never discipline her boys as they grew up, calling each other Mother F*ckers before the age of 5……..where did they hear that???

Really? You know that? She did not deserve to be gunned down, but we can't make up things after she's gone. She and her husband have lived a life of great privilege, she even said that to her family. They both allowed their boys to drink as very young boys, getting drunk was a normal thing in their world. They allowed them to do whatever they chose to do, at a great price. The boys fought often, calling each other MF's, this was told by family. There are many mysterious dead bodies in their wake. Bad judgements by them all.

Why a stay at home mother needs a nanny to raise her kids is another story. I think she was probably a bit entitled and could’ve been part of the problem with that family.

You have labeled Maggie inaccurately--SHE was the only one of the family who visited Gloria in the hospital, according to her friends and Gloria's family! As far as the phone call to EMS was concerned, people often sound differently when they are upset/concerned when something happens to a friend or family member. Maggie wanted the EMS to get there quickly, and was upset about Gloria's status. Unless you knew Maggie personally, I do not think you can accurately describe her!

Alec and Maggie must not have been too stressed about Paul's upcoming trial over the boat. They proceeded to buy him a 2nd, replacement boat while he was on bond. He got speeding tickets pulling the 2nd boat, but of course, no consequences.

[@nicoletrandel2966]

And I think that's part of the problem if he got in an accident with the first boat and accidentally killed somebody because he was drinking and driving why would they go out and get him a second boat? That's almost giving him in a sense of entitlement like he nor I get a second both for drinking and driving and killing some poor girl. That kid should have been charged with driving under the influence he should have been charged with some kind of manslaughter because it was his fault that that girl flew out of the boat because he was driving erratically. And he should serve his time and pay for his crime. And I do think her family is entitled to some type of compensation. Honestly I would not have gotten into a boat with somebody that was under the influence of alcohol that could not even walk straight. But maybe the rest of the people on the boat were drinking and they were not really thinking properly. I don't know. But that's like getting into the car with somebody that's under the influence of alcohol you're going to take your life at risk? If it were me personally I probably would have called my parents or somebody else to have them pick me up. But then again I was not in their shoes. Maybe they didn't want to cause a scene by saying hey I'm just going to call somebody to come and get me or maybe they didn't want their parents to know they are drinking illegally. But I would rather have my parents know I'm drinking illegally and be alive then get into the boat with somebody that's under the influence and cannot walk straight or even drive the boat let alone.

[@DAISYROSE22]

The trial is over, the jury did their duty and delivered a guilty verdict, and yet...yet....people are still criticizing the prosecution. This trial was 6 weeks long. The State had to pick and choose between quite a bit of evidence, information, witnesses, etc. and decide what was relevant to meeting their burden. I think Maggie Murdaugh was thinking about divorcing Alex. I think he knew that when she found out about Satterfield's and the other law firm thefts she would leave and take her share of what was left. Hard to believe in a small town Maggie didn't get wind of the Satterfield family getting tossed out of their trailer or hear other gossip about their not getting the settlement. Murdaugh never expected to be indicted for the murders. He knew the law firm was legally required to make good to all those clients from which he stole. He thought he could plea deal the financial crimes, get himself to Club Fed, and then buy himself an early release or maybe even a full-blown pardon. Alex Murdaugh's intent was to walk away from every single crime he had committed - and start over. Paul was never going to get that chance to start over from the boat crash and up to 20 years of prison. Maggie would have a hard time starting over at her age, too. But, Alex, hey, he had it all figured out.
