[@nadinekeating3255]

Lol, I was thinking his defense attorney looked familiar (but quite a bit younger lol). I had to back the video up a bit to see if his name showed on screen. It's Dick Harpootlian, the defense attorney for Alex Murdaugh.

[@Oz83]

Omg Nadine !! 😀😀👏🏻👏🏻

[@bbe3034]

If you google South Carolina Senator Dick Harpootlian and read statements he’s made in the SC Senate, you’ll be shocked! How he’s still a senator is beyond my understanding!! I learned from the Murdaugh trial that SC state has so much corruption!!

[@standback5806]

Two big cases harpootlian lost and he is popular?

[@kvacka]

Thank you!!! I knew I remembered him, but I already forgot why I felt instant dislike. It's because of Alex!

[@jessey141]

The lady who started crying, when he was describing how he hit her neck 😢😢...so evil!! A mum, someone's child, sister...even I watching in a different country, have tears 💔💔 just evil to do that to ANYONE

[@DrineThePoet]

It was so sad whew😢

[@tamarinbush6613]

I’m so confused. The guy who took a plea deal only gets out a year earlier than the man who beat and orchestrated his wife’s murder? I understand the daughter feels like she only has her Dad left. But the Prosecutor was right, her daddy used her. Also I can never understand why the person who either murdered or hired someone to murder their spouse, has their family raise the children? I feel like this victimizes the spouse who was killed and their families twice. The children usually never have a relationship with the “other” family. And how is that right when the family of the abuser gets custody? 😢

[@dawnramirez565]

I believe Steveb Beckam is eligible for parole in 2024. I bet her family will show up each and every time he becomes eligible.

[@TRILLTALKTV]

update the guy that killed her got denied and his next date is 2026.

[@charmainea2419]

It’s just so hard to comprehend someone could beat an innocent person to death with bolt cutters. They way he described doing it with no emotion and that blank look on his face. There are some seriously scary, evil people on earth.

[@cheetoesgal5229]

Spot on!

[@virgochild4216]

Yikes😮

[@kathleenjudge52]

There shouldn't be plea deals for people who do such horrible crimes

[@wandachristian1884]

If he had driven her to the hospital as soon as Beckem left he would have been considered a hero. Even if she didn’t survive although I have a feeling she would have loved if he had done the right thing instead of killing her.

[@denisemughrabi8171]

I can’t believe this was almost 30 yrs ago. They will both get out of prison soon. The grandparents on both sides have surely passed on, & possibly the parents as well? A young mother’s life taken too soon. Children left behind to be raised without their mother. Raised by relatives & have to see their father in prison almost their entire lives. A lost childhood! I wonder if any of them still believe he is innocent & will they have a relationship with him when he gets out? They are all much older & hopefully wiser now.

[@countrylivers]

They were raised by their murderous father’s family! So that probably answers your question about if they still think he’s innocent.

[@tessaducek5601]

I know its not a high budget film. But the wigs and facial hair on the reenactment actors is pretty hilarious.

I see Dick Harpotlian,also handled Murdaugh trial earlier this year.

[@tomboytwig]

I always assumed that the way lawyers are depicted on tv as being dramatic must be an exaggeration, but I see now that it's actually quite accurate after binge watching this show last few days. Interesting. As for the case itself, the saddest part to me, after the mother's murder, is hearing how the daughter still believed her dad must love her and her brothers. No parent who loves their child goes and kills their other parent.

It amazes me that people put their faith in self appointed prophets. They are just men or women who have the gift of the gab. They suck vulnerable people into their BS. You don't need a church to keep your faith alive. So called churches these days are only out to take advantage of your need to feel safe. All you need to do is pray to your Lord. Kneal down beside your bed, ask your God for help and ask for forgiveness for anything you feel sorry for. Don't get sucked in by anyone unless they prove themselves beyond belief. Take care.
