Totally agree! The entire defense team are a part of the good 'ol boy, privileged eminence of South Carolina...so arrogant. Folksy when they want to be to 'connect' with the normal people. This lawyer / politician is a caricature of every southern politician, sadly. The defense is getting their arses handed to them...and I laugh at the pundits out there criticizing the State. The state's case, so far, has been nothing short of spectacular and riveting...strong witnesses. And I think we can all admit the nail in the coffin is the kennel Snap video. That's the smoking gun. Hope there is justice for Paul and Maggie...but the entire Murdaugh family I am sure knows way more than they have ever admitted. And perhaps benefitted! I'm pretty sure there are many people in Hampton that are celebrating the demise of the Murdaughs...past and present.

The guilt and shame in his eyes. Wow. So sad and unbelievable

[@sandraward116]

..notice the piece of cardboard placed in front of his screen..let's don't upset the 5star attorney who would rather kill his own wife and son than go to prison for embezzlement since at least 2011..this is a very scary person..

[@psmith9789]

"I'd be delighted to tell you." LOL You can't confuse THIS expert. She KNOWS her STUFF! What's AM doing? Pretending he's crazy by whispering to himself?

[@poppykok5]

Dr. Riemer is one confident & fiercely competent woman & could go head-to-head with *any* "Legal Eagle" challenging her!!!

[@pepperwell4297]

The more he speaks the more he proves his ineptitude in basic understanding. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@mimiv1347]

Harpootlian 🤬is also an ass politician ! Go figure, a State Senator of SC! Defending a murderer….prolly payback for the Murdaugh family campaign donations.

[@mamaduck9370]

Murdaugh is falling apart from reliving the murders... You can see him swinging between trauma at the memory of the awful, messed up way his wife and child died, seeing their loved and trusted protector was their murderer in last moments of their lives and dying in anguish - and rage that he's been caught and is being put through the court process, confronted with facing the monster he's become. God knows what he tells his other son every day... Buster must be a wake up by now his father is not a man, but a cowardly, greedy, slimy thing.

[@ericpalmer3588]

He’s being a ham. No actual tears

[@nygrl6102]

Buster is thankful that he is the favorite son.

[@dysfnctional1978]

I believe that Buster is just as greedy, & downright dirty, as his father. I, also, believe that he may know something. But...that's just my opinion.

[@suejohnson3787]

Why they not question buster ?put him on the stand

[@kwazimokava]

Yes spot on reliving the trauma and memory of it...

[@tdsforumjoan]

She is so smart, so strong, so amazing, and I have major respect!

[@lindae9879]

His face says it all. Even though in his mind he had some justification for his action, self preservation or something, he is either thinking I thought I had all my bases covered or maybe it is hard for him to hear the pain he caused because he never thought he would have to hear it out loud. He could just compartmentalize his actions. I think all these guys can do that, otherwise how could you represent these type people and not feel bad about your own life.

[@vikzytoria]

I am frustrated. I can't imagine how she feels. Her explanation was clear and concise and most anyone could understand.

[@twilit]

this woman is inspiring in her professional confidence and clarity. her statements all come across believable and solid because they rest in the facts she’s established. she doesn’t seem to be grasping to make a certain point, just to get across the truth of the matter.

[@Maybeweshouldthinkdeeper]

Hearts out to the trial doc! What a professional!I cannot imagine how challenging that was for her, job or not.

[@jeannelaurente9378]

I feel for families that have to sit through traumatic descriptions like this! I don't understand how anyone can kill another human being other than pure self defense!!! Its insane how often we are seeing family members killing family members, babies, mothers, etc. Its a sad world!

[@coastalcreekwoodworks8795]

The Dad is sitting there silently agreeing with the medical examiner... He knows she has it right

[@willaputney3947]

THE DEFENSE IS EATING DURING THE EVIDENCE OF HIS SON’S DEATH, UNREAL

[@susanguettlersundog8198]

A straight up slob. No respect to the court.

[@shersull1002]

I check in from time to time, what I've noticed, every time, they announce, they are going to show graphic pics,, Alex, readjusts how he's sitting, then puts his head down and begins to rock, always putting candy in his mouth, that causes drips, which I believe he feels we will think it's tears dripping down, he turns it in and off very quickly, he cannot stop him self though, from looking up at the pics..very telling..

[@seaurchin4522]

@Sherrie Sullivan I'm starting to think they are spicy red hots or something to make him tear up lol

[@irishmarie9892]

It’s honestly hard to watch because of the show he’s putting on. The rocking. The mouth opening and closing as he chews on his candy. The fake crying. I have to look away because it angers me.

[@shersull1002]

@@seaurchin4522 just maybe..he does go through quite a bit of them..

[@JustMe-ob3nw]

His face, while the doctor describes what he probably did to his son and wife speaks tons…surreal..

[@Poolberi88]

Trying to undermine her and what she's found with her own eyes. He knew what she was saying, but determined to undermine her. Turning his back on her while she was making it clear proves what he was really after.....to muddy the waters of truth.

[@Ed-uz6em]

No innocent person has to try so hard at grief

[@DinFL]

Fabulous witness. Respect!

[@jackiec.5758]

This attorney thinks he knows more than the witness and she’s a long term EXPERT!

[@stellakowalski1]

What strikes me in this is how dead Alex Murdaugh’s eyes are. There’s nothing there. Even when they are looking at the most gruesome pictures of his son’s shattered head there is nothing in the man’s face. Just completely dead. That completely unnerved me.

[@jeannezimmerman7034]

He just keeps at her trying to wear her down. She's used to dealing with pricks. Totally professional, very smart and knows her business.

[@feralbluee]

what dumb questions???!!! what the hell is he trying to get to? he’d drive me nuts!! he is driving me nuts! jeez! i guess lawyers are smart about some things, but not medical stuff. she is very intelligent and explaining the same question over and over. i guess she’s used to people who nothing about the body!! good for you Doctor!!! 🌹

[@wendybutler1681]

His obtuseness is doing nothing more than getting her to describe horrific injuries in greater and greater detail illustrating just how brutally his client murdered his dearest loved ones. Not doing Alex any favors at all, IMO.
