Hi Docy

His wife and son were killed with different firearms from that property so not much of a surprise that his cousin was involved.

Hi Susieice

Was reading about him yesterday and he has a lot of charges to deal with over 75 with just fraud/financial dealings as well as money laundering and fentanyl trafficking of 2.8 million with his cousin who is also racking up more charges.

Last night even Banfield said with all the stuff this guy's been accused of it's really hard to keep it all straight. There's more than a couple of dead bodies around these people and millions and millions of dollars he embezzled from clients of his law firm.

It sounds like this murder case may be pretty weak.

Videos of the opening statements are available on YouTube in it's entirety. They go from 1 1/2 hours to over 3 hours. Here's some shorter ones. More summaries.

This one is good.

This is good also. There was no blood on Alex, no fingerprints and no weapon when police arrived.

I'm hearing a lot about this case. It is confusing. Police said when they arrived at the crime scene Murdaugh didn't shed one tear. He asked one detective how he was doing. The scene was gruesome. Yet in court when they played the call Murdaugh cried hard and continued crying through most of the day. 

There's a video that Paul sent to a friend who was kenneling his dog there right before he was killed. Murdaugh is on the video. He was there while Paul and his mom were still alive.

The body cam from the arrival of the police will be released today. They had to edit it because of the bodies and the shape they were in.

Many people seem to think the 911 call and his actions in court yesterday were all an act.

Here's a video from yesterday. Most videos are long. Posting some shorter ones. YouTube has about a dozen live links of today's court proceeding running. Can't post because some have graphic warnings and I don't know what's going to come up.

This one is only 10 minutes. It's the fire chief testifying about the scene as he arrived. The video with the first detective to arrive at the scene testimony is 2 hours long.

This is about the cellphone video that Paul took before he died. It shows he was there minutes before the murders.

This is a good documentary about the Murdaugh story.

killing the mother does not  any sense?  if  it was a boating revenges, Also the murder  of both of them were  killed by two different guns? so who really killed them ? it had to Alex and his other son,

Hi Docy

Alex’s cousin would be more likely as they were involved in drug trafficking and money laundering. He was also the same person that shot Alex in the suicide attempt.
