[@ashbash635]

There's only one logical reason for AM to lie about being with his family in the minutes before they were killed. How likely is it that some vigilante showed up immediately after Alex left, without a weapon and used the families guns. They also left the crime scene the same way alex did and managed to leave absolutely no evidence they were there. Also in the moments after his family are killed Alex is suddenly very busy since he managed to generate 280 plus steps which he can't remember and can't explain. He also makes a flurry of phone calls. He cant even remember what his last convo was with his wife and son. He would still be lying today about being there if the dog video hadn't been found. He also had GSR on his hands and seatbelt. It's obvious it was him, because otherwise there's no need to lie.

I agree. Both his son and wife were having medical issues that he can't say exactly what they are but everything is all about him. Maggie came to Moselle because she was worried about him. I doubt that, if she wasn't staying there with him then she had her own stuff going on and was living and planning her life without AM. Maggie could easily talk or text the in-laws about the condition of AM's parents. AM pressured Maggie into coming to Moselle, she made that know to Blanca and her sister and they encouraged her to go.

@@sherylcrowe3255 I think Paul was such a cocky little shit, he thought him and his big guns could handle anything that came up. He nevertheless didn’t expect to have to defend himself against his own father. This is just conjecture but I think Maggie was shot first. The gun used on her was quieter and faster. He shot her in the leg then possible in the back, or the other way around, that would have alerted Paul to come out of the feed room, where he was when he received his shot in the chest, then possible he turned around to go back into the feed room. Possibly to get his own gun, which he thought was in there. That’s when he was shot in the back of the head. After that, Maggie was finished off with the shot to her head. They said it looked like the gunman stood over her, possibly talking to her prior to shooting her in the head. I can’t remember, did she have stippling from the head shot? I think I heard someone testify to that. I’m not all that good at second to second analysis of this, I will have to write it down and look at it. Anyone have any suggestions?

I frankly believe there is not something to celebrate here. Great strategy or not, great judge or mediocre, the district attorney too, brilliant strategy! Yet I still cannot believe he murdered them. It just does not have a motif, a reason, not even a life insurance of millions and other reasons, other than perhaps he had a moment of complete craziness… yet not that crazy to tied up the place, clean himself, wash everything carefully, though no detergents residuals seems to have bothered any forensic and then go to visit his mum? You have got to be in Hollywood to believe to all this. They were in troubles financially and own money and the boat tragedy and all in all what a messy situation, but his crying and sobbing still is so real and so moving. The process of hearing details of your son’s head blown up is hard on us strangers, cannot imagine his horror and the pain to hear his most beloved people verbally ‘dissected’ (after being already gone through the same process physically) and by a coroner and the DA and in public, in front of millions of viewers… American justice system is seriously cruel and unfair!!

He went to the kennels only wearing the raincoat. Used the hose to clean himself off. Used the towel in the bathroom to dry off. When you rule out the impossible whatever is left, however improbable is the truth-S.H.

[@daddysgirl5049]

Absolutely 💯

[@GigiNKD]

I think he had the rain coat and guns down at the kennels. He had planned all of this out. Trick them there. Have the last meal together.. then “go do things he didn’t want to do at the kennels” as he says it like it was chores. I think maybe he started to lose his nerve but the dog and chicken situation sent him into action. Chaos and just opportunity happened all at once. It didn’t go exactly as planned because Paul didn’t go down right away from the first shot. Then it was just a hurried mess as Maggie realized what was happening. She probably was screaming and so was Paul in confusion thinking it was an accident at first-and that’s why he didn’t follow thru very well with clear shots, phone locations/ alibi time/steps/clean up before he left to Almeda. He panicked and got messy. He knew Paul was talking to Rogan at that time. But figured his friends and fellow corrupt cops would never arrest/suspect him. He has gotten off for so many crimes before. Why would he think differently now? I think he did love Paul,albeit not “like” him at the time, but the love for Maggie was gone long ago. And in his mind he rationalized everything. That Paul was a lost cause anyways and he could be together with Maggie or some sick sideways thinking. His love for his family dynasty/wealth/power and prestige was way more important to him than his wife and his spare. Sad. But I don’t think it was because of a pill problem. He has worse hooker and gambling addictions that were never addressed in court. Which was weird.

[@Seattle_Kiwi]

Well..as it turns out…Paul’s iPhone solved this whodunit!

[@thisisme3238]

Yep, the "little detective," solved the case...from the grave with the kennel video. That's one thing AM didn't control, because AM didn't know it even existed.

Did the autopsy rpt give the approx time of Maggie's/Paul's last meal which would aid in determining the approx time of death?

Alex is too good to take care of the dogs. There were only 3 at most from what was learned.

[@OOceaneyess]

I think the dog care giver mentioned 4 dogs, All labradors, and a dog that belonged to one of Paul's friends.

[@isabellind1292]

I wouldn't have trusted Alex alone w/my dog or my goldfish! It's clear he had no use for animals. I'm sure he was a brute! Their poor dog had to wear a shock collar so he'd watch his P's & Q's...in other words, every time the dog acted like a dog, he got electrocuted! That'd be like putting a shock collar on a toddler! It's cruel!

[@kayewilson8391]

Why is this investigator sharing information. That is not how you conduct an interview or interrogation. Alex thinks bc he is a good old boy he could control how this went. He just about did.

Not only is he is liar he’s a bad liar. They keep tripping him up on the same question “Was Maggie there when you and Paul got back” someone needs to do side by side of that question being asked in the 2nd interview in the car and the third interview at the station. They knew they had their man early on. Blanca and Dale the groundskeeper convienently not there that day/night….Interesting

[@yvelaine]

But Blanca was there that day , she cooked southern fried steak and Mac cheese.. she was there in the morning and turned in Alec’s collar before him going to work ..

[@jimdebus1108]

Notice that the Sheriff allows Alex to drape his coat over his hands - to hide that he’s in hand-cuffs while walking back to boarding the transport van?

[@clairkeleher5437]

This is typical. It’s to prevent the jury developing a bias.

[@susanstephenson648]

And notice his feet are not shackled. This is NOT typical. Plus, this defendant is seated every time before the jury is summoned to come into the courtroom.

They needed to take seriously a lot more of this than they did, they let soooo much slide during this case! Unbelievable we are fortunate more people were not hurt while he's screaming guilty and running free!!!! Guarded by his legal team buddies and family! His voice during the fake cry is quite telling!

The House should have been off limits also until the investigation was done. They were dealing with the Mudaughs and would have to explain why. Them all there contaminated the house also. John Marvin having to clean up Paul's murder scene is just not right. I though Insurance companies or there are special people to clean up crime scenes.

His fake cry waver voice turns off, then on, every time he wants to ask details about who was shot first he turns on the dry cry - but forgets for a sentence or two, then remembers he's supposedly emotional. I think he decided somewhere along the line that if his sinuses sounded like that - the constant snuffling, and throat clearing it would give the impression he was crying so much it was right there on the edge. But it just sounds phoney and annoying.

[@quickchris10]

People couldn't see John List doing what he did, either. He killed his mother, his wife and his three children. When John's life was crumbling around him, he killed his family rather than have to face them and say they were going to have to sell all their stuff and move into a trailer park.

Also with the wife phone being on at 9:30 a mile from the property he had to of had someone’s help because that couldn’t of been him so right there is gonna put doubt for the jury.
