[@bonniehouston102]

Right, because he has done it all his life. He even admitted lying to his clients, his family his law firm. They all believed him in one way or another. However, the women that testified in his law firm called him a Tasmanian devil and the woman that confronted him about the money, said he was a Bull shitter. I think Maggie knew and was getting ready to leave him and because Paul was on his mother's side he wanted to get rid of all the conflict with the two of them. They saw through him and confronted him that night.

[@valeriegriner5644]

Your theory is very similar to mine. I figure he killed them because of the criminal boat case coming up and because Maggie was probably going to leave him. She was staying in Edisto most of the time and was fed up with his drug habit (among other things). So...he was tired of dealing with them and lured them home to murder them.

[@valeriegriner5644]

I noticed that, too. He won't say "murdered" or "killed." He always says "hurt" or "harm." In his sick mind, he thinks he did them a favor to keep them both out of that criminal boat trial that was coming up in a few days. Paul would have gone to prison(I believe). He said he wanted to "clear Paul's name," and he did. The dead body can't stand trial and the charges go away. He is really a psychopath.

@Sis crook He had no life insurance on either Maggie or Paul. Maggie had finally realized something didn't add up, so she was thinking about divorce (according to Blanca), and their Mozele home was in Maggie's name, not Alex', plus Paul would probably be found at least partly guilty for the intoxicated boat driving. Alex spent tons of money on his drug addiction, plus he had also stolen and swindled so much money from his law firm, from Sadie's (the housekeeper's family), and was desperate to reduce his potential future expenses, and increase his available cash, that killing became his choice of method to achieve that. In Alex' mind, money had become more necessary to him, than were the lives of Maggie, Paul, and even Buster (Buster has lost all 3 members of his immediate family. I don't know whether Buster was or was not assisting Alex with the 2 murders, but even if he was (no charges have been brought against Buster), that is a evil and despicable thing to do to him, and Buster won't ever forget it. I do believe Alex is 100% guilty of both these murders, but no matter what the verdict is, he will never again be a free man, due to all his financial crimes for which they will be filing charges at some point. There were way too many lies that Alex told, and those lies will come back to haunt them.

I was begging for a meeting so I could get all the information that was going to be used against me. He has been so use to controlling everything and everyone. Master Liar!!

Where are the murder weapons

[@superdave2316]

If the prosecution doesn't highlight the important points in closing arguments they will end up with a hung jury. They need state the total amount of all of the thefts together and then point out that they were from; friends, family, partners, quadriplegics, widows, children, the deceased, banks and everyone who Alex claims to "love and respect". They need to point out that he uttered "I always hurt the ones that I love". Then he walked that back with a stupid explanation. They need to point out that these thefts started before his addiction and were used to buy homes, land deals and a life of luxury, not drugs when he started. They need to point out that without Maggie's permission he couldn't borrow large amounts of money because she is on the titles of their property. They need to point out that she wasn't living at Moselle and her wedding ring was under the seat of her car. She had told other that she no longer trusted Alex. If she divorced him he would be wiped out. They need to point out that the lawsuit for Paul's accident was for $20 million dollars in damages. With Maggie gone, he would own everything and with Paul gone the boat accident lawsuit went away. Remind them that he was losing his job, his law license and his credit with the banks. The only way to end up with assets was to get rid of Maggie and Paul. He stated that he spent most of the time sitting on the golf cart at the kennels, which would make him close to the height of the defense's shooter theory. They need to point out that Alex (finally) admitted that he was at the kennels when he testified and stated that there was no one else around (besides him) minutes prior to when law enforcement (and the evidence) says that the murders took place. He then drove by the spot where Maggie's phone was thrown on his way to his parent's, where he parked by the woods instead of the driveway. Then he lied to everyone for the last seven months. Summation is; he had the weapons, the ammunition on site, the motive and he was the only one there, other than the two victims and nothing he says can be believed.

But the killer was also there

[@annarose4308]

I watched the body cam footage. If someone had just murdered my wife and son I would be screaming for the cops to find the killer!! Not trying to defend myself!!

[@oliverkent8429]

simply shocking. How much blood on one family's hands.

[@suzannecarpenter4413]

Don’t allow the Netflix documentary to convince you about things that haven’t been fully investigated. What we know is that his dad and grandfather were well respected. Even this wonderful judge gave good comments about his dad.

2:19 Something tells me that you dont Lol

[@carlosfandango6255]

What's the temperature on the oddly placed thermostat today?

[@ssmith2526]

Lol! I noticed that too

[@helenal.7881]

“And I didn’t think about it for a period of time after it happened”……what on earth is this gibberish?? He’s so guilty

[@lindicahill8439]

Notice how Murdaugh almost never answers a question. He talks in circles in ways to be vague and noncommittal. What were they thinking to put him on the stand? So manipulative!

[@shaniehenry8861]

Never seen a trial they let suspect talk so much instead of yes an no

[@moniquejanke8151]

Waters is a badass!! Love him!

[@heybeaches]

The way waters repeatedly asked the same questions without letting him answer was aggravating, he wanted a simple yes or no answer to every single question. Imagine his wife trying to explain something

[@NeuroDeviant421]

Murdaugh clearly did "bring it up" when he challenged the prosecutor's narrative of never telling anyone. He claimed that his team had reached out.

[@robertharris2979]

I think there is a possibility that he lied about being there in the evening so that the questions would stop earlier and law enforcement would put more focus on finding a nearby suspect. If he really was innocent, he would have a strong concern for who did it and want them found immediately. He had a loaded gun at the scene as well, which might indicate he was in "fight or flight" mode.

[@deeannwatson4453]

Did you hear him ask them to look? Did he warn his other son to find a safe place there is a killer on the loose. Why did they spare Alec's life? Why didn't they bring their own weapons? Why did he lie on the 911 call about not being there for 2 hours? Your theory is weak.

[@debbiegreen7051]

He’s flat out telling you he lied about killing these ppl. He said Now he was there at the kennels.

[@luthergilbert6284]

Where are all these so called tv reporters when Alex slipped and said she told him to leave when he was at the dog kennels then he changed it real quick the reporters didn't say anything about this

[@teresa380]

What is difficult is he is a well trained lawyer onto of being a sociopathic lier.

[@carlitosortiz2870]

by taking the stand he waviered all his 5th amendment rights.
