In the state of New Jersey, if somebody dies at home inside the home or outside the home by law, an autopsy has to be done whether the family wants it or not. If you die in the hospital, no autopsy is required unless the family requests. It’s unbelievable that no autopsy was done on the housekeeper. May she rest in peace.

He knew about modern technology but even with getting rid of it all they have to do is sopena the cell phone company and boom they have his entire cloud.

The only thing he admitted to was being a drug addict. And That was for sympathy only. He never took responsibility for his thieving ways - that was the drugs, not him. He never took responsibility for all the deaths and all the lives destroyed. Only "yes, I stole but that was because of the addiction which I had no control over." What a worthless pos.

@@tanyadaniel6704I understand your question about his state of mind. I can tell you for sure however, with lots of personal experience with opioid addiction, that once you are a couple of months in, you don’t get “high” anymore. You merely seek the opioids to remain functional. It doesn’t take long, after a few weeks of continual use, for your brain to start to rely on the opioids, just as it relies on food. The brain stops producing natural dopamine, because the opioids are flooding the opioid receptors beyond their capacity. It’s nothing like being wasted on alcohol,,where one becomes dysfunctional. The rush of dopamine greatly enhances one’s motivation and enthusiasm., without lack of motor control. The derelict addicts we’ve been propagandized to recognize as the “addict” reality,is false. It’s very common to function as normal, but more likely above normal, when dependent upon opioids. They actually enhance abilities in a productive person. As for the downtrodden street addicts, I think that would be their fate, regardless of the substances they’ve ingested.

As is the person at the store sold Paul all that beer off his brother's ID. Yes, they look very similar but for starters as I recall his brother is quite a bit taller. This definitely should've been spotted. I am all for idiots learning from their own mistakes, but can appreciate the reasons behind those serving alcohol being held strictly accountable. Fact is had the establishments supplying them alcohol been diligent & refused them, that beautiful girl Mallory would very likely be alive today. So tragic.

Gosh, there's just so many deaths linked to that family! You have the long time housekeeper that died... But was without a doubt murdered for money. Then you have the one Son who was driving the boat that killed the girl. Then there's the boy that was found on the side of the road dead. And the name that kept coming up from people in town, who they say was involved in his death was the Son Buster. Then there's the murders of the Wife and one of his Sons. So it's just INSANE how much tragedy and death is associated with that family! And he's just an absolute despicable human being! Killing his Wife and own Son like that! It's just absolutely APPALLING..... And It's just Satisfying knowing that he can't continue with his Corrupt, Evil, Narcissistic ways anymore!

And Mallory dying on that boat breaks my heart. She and I had the same birthday so though I have zero connection, I feel connected to her. It’s awful. Truly.

Most recovering addicts will take full responsibility for their misdeeds without blaming them on the drugs. While they may not have committed them if they were sober, they still committed them. It's an important step in recovery. Alex can't even do that right. His entire life he made a living at shifting the blame everywhere else than it belonged. Finally it caught up to him and he'll spend the rest of his days next to people who are far better than him which is more than he deserves.

He’s not going to be in danger, he’s a top tier lawyer. There will be a ton of inmates hiring him to look over their case and try and get them out. There might be a few that get jealous but if he works with the right guys he’ll be untouchable. He will get paid in drugs, food, whatever. He will have protection because these guys want nothing more than to get out. So if he gets close with an inmate with a lot of pull/respect nobody will mess with him. That’s one possibility The other is that he refuses to help anyone and they say f him and he’s gonna have a bad time. He’s gonna be doing more law work in prison than he did his law firm.
