[@Nephthys-ness]

IF proven it was him: as you can write any name into donation field. I see it as a sign of support for a woman who cried almost the whole time she was on stand because of the pressure she was under in terms of the power that was facing her - for or against her testimony - and the tough time she may have going forward in life there by speaking truths AM didn't want told. Whether he NG/or/G. IMO, It is a vote for the underdog - for the many silenced voices statewide that have long been ruled by a 'power, prestige, status-Family ' ensconced in a Good Ole Boy Network. I do agree, although it hasn't been stated as such by the above 2 comments, that any contact with a witness that is still under subpoena in a Cr. Trial is not a prudent decision. As the court stated; it would have been excellent fodder for Def cross-examination. To discredit & instill doubt in information & witnesses is the defense's job. And, as we all saw, they declined to do that job in that manner. They saw that barking up the tree of trying to discredit a P. witness who was showing support to another P. witness who was in difficult circumstances due to Alex's below-board actions which potentially threatened her steadfast, hardworking, and honest care-taking job while being themselvesaccused of actual & massive fraud was not going to play well. ▪︎Defense did not pursue this issue in front of the Jury. {1- Perhaps deciding they would have been seen as bullying two people who were lauded & liked counties-wide by ppl who were systemically beleaguered by the ministrations of this powerful Family & Firm. {2- Tinsley loses either way so why fight the $ contribution to Shelly, who's testimony didn't affect much in net-net Prosecution Proof of AM's malfeasance. ▪︎To wit: Alex wins this trial, he is now the victim of two Vigilantes who attacked his family and he doesn't end up with more money because he still has all these legal bills and the sympathy that is engendered from being attacked. ▪︎Now, If Alex loses this trial and is deemed guilty of unaliving his family members: then he has no money either. ▪︎=> there's still not going to be a multi- million-dollar judgment won against the M family in the Boating homicide case. (?) Maybe why the "roadside shenanigans" didn't go as planned. No need. AM had&has 99 other indictments. If Buster had AM's $10M, than he would bear the brunt of the boat case litigation as he would be the last involved Murdaugh alive to sue for Negligence; contributory or proximate. ▪︎This does not mark the end of their meetings. There are still 99 other indictments.

All the Prosecution's case is built on three OBJECTIVELY FALSE, or at least unproven, ideas: (1) a man whose father was dying and did die in three days needed to kill his wife and son to gain a delay of two weeks to a month; (2) people react ONLY with uncontrollable screaming OR paralysis at the sight of a shot loved one; and (3) the murders happened THE MINUTE Paul finished filming Cash's tail. In opposition to the second idea, I cite (a) Frame 371 of the Zapruder film: Jackie neither screamed nor was paralyzed the second JFK's head exploded IN Jackie's ARMS but climbed to the back of the President's limo to help Secret Service Agent Clint Hill climb to the moving limo; and (b) the Virginia school teacher who, though herself shot by six-year old student, ushered the rest of the class out of the room and into safety.

He will absolutely be found guilty of these murders without a shadow of a doubt.

PLEASE try to imagine the time of death even at 9:15 pm and view the evidence in that light.

If the witness said that - it was completely inappropriate and an attorney knows that. - I agree btw with the statement .... (as an observer not a witness I am allowed to have and state an opinion) .... but a witness canot say such things. Or insinuate guilt or innocence. He is there to answer questions not to make assumptions and to think about motivations. Prosecutor and Defense have their narrative and their bias and ask accordingly - but the witnesses are not supposed to engage in that. ? Russel Crosby on the stand (a former lawyer collegue of AM) was not trapped by the defense. Who wanted to establish that he is really angry about the damage AM did to the lawfirm: massive financial damage that will cost the other lawyers income but also reputational damage, the hassle of a forensic audit, having to meet the defrauded clients to apologize and come to an agreement what and when they will be paid. Taking out loans to come up with the 4 - 5 million USD (and still counting). But Crosby was asked by the sleazebag of defense attorney: Did you think he did it (meaning did AM kill Maggie and Paul) And the WITNESS wisely said: I do not have the benefit of all the material that this court has. I trust that the jury will make that decision. (I think he did have an opinion, but abstained from giving any hints. And he had a personal interest in the deceased, he seemed to have been close to Paul. as a human it would have been very understandable to tilt his testimony in a certain way. He did not do that and he was incensed - and showed it - that the defense lawyer insinuated he would let the damage to the lawfirm influence his testimony in a double homicide.

A lawyer SHOULD be able to give qualified testimony,what is compelling is that Mark Tinsley is so matter-of-fact, non-flamboyant in his delivery.His whip-smart recall skills without any kind of notes whatsoever, just amazing! His light southern drawl, lends a disarming eloquence to the interchanges, because the defense attorney tries to play it off as Tinsley being an ignorant yokel. Which he is NOT! Tinsley is wiley and wise,yet intense and self-confident in his rebuttal skills. I found this testimony without doubt, compelling and riveting.

Correct me if I don't have any of this right. Was Tinsley saying he was moving forward with going after Alex for money and wanted a list of all assets and was going to offer him a settlement and if he couldn't pay up then there would be a hearing where he would be court ordered to show all assets. And thats what the paper Tinsley pulled out said?? What I'm trying to get at is, was Tinsley saying this pressure he was putting on Alex would've made him do the murders cuz he said it was from October 2021 and Maggie and Paul would've already been dead at that point. I know I obviously have something messed up but not sure where, maybe you can help me.

[@JayArmstrong1227]

@gern5168 The former portion of your assessment is accurate; as for the latter portion, the pressure that Mark was putting on Alex was to get Alex to capitulate. Since Mark knew that he ultimately wouldn't have been able to trust any figure that Alex would've stated, he put in place a backup plan, but he certainly could not have anticipated/foreseen the actions to which Alex resorted.
