Waters is a BEAST in the courtroom. So happy they were able to lock this monster away for good
John Meadors gave a better speech.
@@Das-uo9bl Actually, no. He was rambling and unfocused. Thankfully, Creighton brought it all together before Meadors stood up.
@@Das-uo9bl Are you related to Meadows? lmao
Excellent prosecutor.
@@Das-uo9bl I thought Waters brought it home!! He was really powerful in his final few sentences about how Alex fooled EVERYONE - so don't let him fool you too!!
Prosecutor Waters did what needed to be done. He took the time to shine the light on all of Murdaugh’s skeletons. I was so worried that there would be a hung jury.
There should've been. There was no evidence against him. He lied. People lie all the time. Repukes lie constantly, so?
That video at the Kennel was devastating.
Maybe not all of Murdaugh's skeletons. I'm sure there are more.
@@johndemerse9172 To think that Paul filmed that, and was killed just after...and Alex has to realize that "his son" sunk his case!
I was worried too that it would be a hung jury Great prosecutors
A narcissist doesn't know how to love. A narcissist always has to feel in control.
Because they are empty inside no soul.
Where you there?
Like they said, he loved himself the most
@@groupergary5536 who's they? more lawyers? everyone was surprised when Murdaugh (former lawyer) lied... That's what they do..
There’s a point in the Netflix documentary where one of the officers said he doesn’t want t to call Mallory’s parents because they don’t want to cause “trouble” and that made my blood boil. There’s a girl missing and you don’t think its a good idea to call her parents? I don’t think Paul deserved to die but this entire family was screwed up and I’m glad that at least one member of the family is being held accountable for his actions
Agreed. They were all murderers and accessories to each other’s murders.
Agree
Couldn’t agree more! Sick sick sick! I knew right then, the cover-up had started!
Whose family is not screwed up? He was charged, not his family.
I completely agree with you
Let's please not forget Prosecutor John Meadors who made the closing/final argument just before the jury was released to deliberate. He was absolutely amazing!
That was amazing!!! Best closing I’ve ever heard.
He brought it home. John Meadors connected with the Jury.
yes he was, waters brought it and meadors closed it, both were superb so superb
Absolutely amazing. Bone chilling closing rebuttal
I agree ....He was great and covered every point so well and TRUTHFUL ....The "truth" prevailed !!! Thank God !!
It’s beautiful that the video from Paul’s phone convicted him. His murdered son reaches out from the grave to get justice for his mother and himself.
CRAZY WHAT THE SPIRIT KNOWS IN An ADVANCE
It's Shakespearean. Can't even imagine the confusion and shock Paul and Maggie must have experienced in those final seconds.
Justice for Mallory?!?!
Exactly 💯
It couldn’t be more perfect. So random, Paul filming a dog’s tail and it leading to full-on justice.
Respect to Maggie's family for preserving a dignified silence.
I get the point .. IMO “ silence” enabled AM to fester in all of his misdeeds ….
I feel so
Bad for buster and Maggie's sister ,and the whole family but especially those two ,when that jury went to mozelle that was weird seeing Maggie's green bike still on lawn and to hear it was just 12 steps between Maggie and Paul omg at least now they have eternal peace
I can’t imagine their devastation. They probably loved him. 💔
I'm sure they want to keep a relationship with Buster. I hope buster stays close with them for his mom's sake.
I also have mad respect. Poor Miss Marion has a lot to deal with. Aging parents for which you think you have a sister to help you with and then all of a sudden you lose her and your nephew. Then in the middle of all that, you have to go and testify and dredge that memory up.. Coming back to court a couple weeks later and making an impact statement and dredging all that up again? No thanks. I think I'll conserve my efforts for things I have real control over. And no reason to put her parents through that either.
Waters did an exceptional job! Thank you!!!
I am an elderly s.c. citizen, midlands, the pride I feel for these good men swells me like deep strong breathe to the point of tears God bless all ya'll
We are SOO PROUD of the prosecution and JUDGE! Way to go Creighton!! One tier of justice!
Unless you're rump
@@nickinurse118Get lost!
I have been closely watching this from South Africa and had for many years doubted the use of a jury, but this case have changed my mind completely!! Well done to the prosecuting team and the American judicial system!!
Another good trial was darrell brooks!
Many of us here also doubt the capacity of jurors to arrive at appropriate verdicts - which would require critical thinking skills and the purest of intentions powerful enough to supplant personal issues, prejudices, biases, dysfunctions, etc. This jury also gave me a modicum of hope too…
@@tonyawells570, oh yeah. The judge in that case was a saint lol
Incredible work everybody! Happy to see the justice upheld!
justice prevailed.
@@RichardTN Because it’s the law.
As a South Carolinian, I'm proud of the handling of this trial. It makes me think justice is not lost in this country after all.
The judge that handled Darrell Brooks was great, too.
Me too!! Showed the big cities how to do a high profile case smoothly and efficiently.
Greenville SC here agrees!
I’m in the U.K. and have to agree with you. South Carolina looks so beautiful ! Great judge and justice was served. Alec is a family annihilator and this crime happens here too. Prayers to the family and the victims of Alec 🇬🇧❤️🙏
This needs to happen to every rich person in America.
I just love how well-spoken Creighton Waters is .
The Judge blew me away! What an insightful and wise man he is. I applaud him for holding his tongue, yet letting loose!
Yeah it was perfect. He let him chitchat but he finished him hard, slam dunk!
Yessss Oh So True 🎊
Exactly. He was brilliant.
I think he drew it out too long. Just wanted to keep it going as long as possible, keep himself in the spot light another 5 mins. That whole tangent could of been wrapped up in 5 mins. no prob. The only good part was watching dude stand for 30 mins.
What the judge said could be a problem
Loved watching Creighton work! Stellar job to the State! ❤
Great job Mr. Waters and team. Justice is served.
circumstantial justice is served. FTFY
I'm disappointed that the bigger picture was never really discussed here. The reason why they were able to get away with so much for so long is cause they own most of the police and judges and politicians in their area. If we had a truly independent justice focused system they would've been stopped long ago.
I have been watching it since the day 1. Never ever have I thought waking up today to see this verdict. Relief feeling justice has been served
The game plan would be to keep this from ever happening again! Teach your people to value life & not legacy and petty tropes about success and prestige. Sick family.
@@mrs.h2725 So true their power and money bought the protection that covered all the family was involved with.
I for one am thankful this narcissistic sociopath will no longer be able to hurt anybody, because he clearly has zero remorse! 🙏♥️
Malignant narcissist. Don't ask them to be honest: they'll kill ya.
Yes the narcissist in this case hated that no victims wanted to speak. Not reacting to a narcissist makes them so angry.
Narcissists are incapable of having remorse and empathy.
Yes, he never apologized to anyone, he just said he "did them wrong".
@@RichardTN or they hurt him. Hard to believe they’re aren’t at least a few in there put away by him or his family
A narcissist/sociopath always thinks they are the smartest person in the room and the only person they love is themselves! I’m so relieved the jury saw through his BS. Good job everyone involved.
Let’s not forget on top of that this POS was an addict. Everything he did was typical addict behavior. He had the means to get help instead he stole everything not nailed down blamed everyone else then snapped when the took his stash. Kept right on lying threw everything at the wall hoping something would stick. Bless this jury.
Serving a life sentence in a state prison may be a fate worse than death.
He won't be making any friends in there.
The family doesn’t want to hurt Buster or the other Murdaugh’s. I was the Victim Specialist for the USAO in MDNC & the Grand Jury Coordinator for the USAO District of SC. I didn’t expect victim impact statements from Maggie’s family. Having sat through countless trials I thought the State’s case was awesome. I thought it was great to let Alex keep talking while he was testifying. I knew he’d hurt himself by continuing to talk. Paul spoke from the grave with the Snapchat. Little detective indeed. I pray the Appeals Court will deny Alex a new trial. The judge was the best I’ve seen. We can’t understand the mind of a madman. I’m glad nobody called him a narcissist. That word is being bandied about ad nauseam. But if narcissist needed a poster boy it would be Alex.
Exactly. Well said.
I felt something as small as switching to PAU-PAU while on the stand spoke volumes of AM’s character. To me it was an insult to the jurors intelligence. “Wait a sec, it’s been Paul in all previous interviews, now when he wants to humanize himself it’s PAU-PAU?”
Well said. And I too LOVED that judge
That was evident by the jailhouse calls. "I need $28 RIGHT NOW". That call flew all over me. Alex was raised exactly like he raised his boys. Never held accountable.
@@maralene1411 the Judge was the best so sad he lost his son in January!
Dream team for real. So proud of SC and our prosecution!!!
South Carolina seems like it's infested with uneducated hillbillz.
The whole immediate Murdaugh family seems corrupt, including Alex's brothers, the one anyway. It's just ashame so many people had to die before justice was finally served. I hope they look more into the death of the housekeeper and Steven Smith's death from 2015. Those deaths seem really suspicious. I have a feeling someday we'll all be watching Buster's trial on this channel.
I believe Randy Murdaugh was the only decent family member. He and Alex were not close from the beginning and haven't spoken to each other since the trial.
Wow, Creighton Waters is an amazing lawyer and definitely a leader as a prosecutor! Thank you for your caring words for the victim's family, and bring them justice!
No he’s NOT
@@tg1304 YES, he IS!
Yes Creighton Waters is a Awesome lawyer and prosecutor !!!
That entire case was well done, not only by prosecutors but by the judge. They brought a lot of class to a hideous situation.
This case will be studied for years to come in law and psychology education.
That closing argument Creighton Waters gave was incredible. An immensely talented attorney and advocate for Maggie and Paul.
Also the rebuttal cross, closing? what was his name? Meaders? He was great too!
Absolutely agree!
Talented? Aleq did the work; he read from a script. Just the sick Kennedy family-dressed up & that's all.
He's advocating for criminals.
I agree 💯!
Aside from the incredible job Creighton did and the rest of the prosecution team, Judge Clifton Newman was gracious in his demeanor. How difficult it must have been to preside over this trial after tragically losing his own son in January.
Creighton seems like a man of integrity. Almost every interview I've watched of him he always brings focus on the fact that these murders were a horrible loss to this family and that it isn't just about a famous murder trial we all were watching.
Excellent work Mr. Creighton Waters, you and your TEAM did just GREAT, and don't let ALEX escape the consequences of his criminal actions !
Creighton Waters is a machine!! To be able to maintain his composure and energy for so long and to cap it off with an outstanding closing argument was admirable.
Creighton Waters is the man !!!
I love Creighton Waters may God bless you and keep you safe.😊
Creighton Waters is almost beyond comprehension! He definitely is cut out for this kind of work!Wow!It just has to take a lot of planning and preparing for such a complicated trial! Wonderful job on having all the witnesses testifying! Everything was done up in style! My first time of ever getting into watching a trial onTV! I know that this has definitely hurt so many people!There are so many people that really care about Alex that have been wounded by his actions!! God Bless and help those that are grieving 😢!
The T shirt was not a mistake. It helped expose AM lies. If he had checked Maggie and Paul like he said he did, he would have had blood all over him!
And...with Paul's "brains at his feet" who would check for a pulse? I haven't seen any mention of this.
@@moonfall8972 I thought the same when I first seen Alex mention that but I put it down to shock. In reality I doubt very much he took their pulse it just made him sound innocent in his head. Same way he asked cops on body cam are they both dead, he knew the answer but was trying to act innocent and concerned. If either had took a single breath when cops shown up they could have whispered who done it before dying that's the only thing he was concerned about and the reason he asked police that question.
@@mrjasondylan he knew they were dead before he left. Probably if/when he checked the pulse. That’s why he said are they “dead” not are they “alive”. His father had a message here in town. He never wanted any live witnesses on the stand
@@conniemccabe8208 Wow that's a powerful statement.. That's exactly what I thought of regarding Ms. Satterflield. Truly sad..
@@moonfall8972 Maggie also had brains blown out and she was shot five times.
LOVED Creighton waters! He did an amazing job presenting the facts.
I followed, from Canada, the case which culminated with Murdaugh’s conviction. It was such a relief to know that, in the end, justice prevailed. Much respect for Mr. Waters and the entire prosecuting team.
I am very relieved too. Very rarely people in power, politicians, lawyers, celebrities face consequences for their actions. I'm glad they threw the book at him. It was the timeline, the phone records, and the kennel video and other odd things, like his clothes missing from earlier that day and there was no blood transfer on him when 'checked the bodies" that sealed his guilt for me. The timeline leaves no room for anyone else to have been there. They got the right man.
Congratulations to everyone who helped put this man away! RIP Maggie and Paul!
I think many people are fascinated by the psychological side of this horrific crime. How can a successful, supposedly happily married family man do this? Birmingham City University's study of family annihilators found 4 types of family annihilators- self-righteous, disappointed, anomic, and paranoid. Murdaugh fits into the anomic type. These are the ones that equate their family with financial success, and once the money isn't there, the family becomes meaningless. I remember looking this phenomenon up after it was mentioned in an episode of Law and Order, and was thinking through the whole trial that this time it wasn't, sadly, a fictional case.
Family Annihilators
🫣
There are elements of Disappointed Killer as well.
Fascinating. But, couldn't he fall into an amalgamation of all four? Like, everything was melting.
A different approach emphasises the situation a person finds themselves in. Any of us could kill depending on the situation. Most murders aren't premeditated.
@@angelasome9044 Possibly, and I'm not sure exactly how the categories worked, but the wealth factor seems to be very important in the Murdaugh case. Like in most classifications, there must be some traits that overlap.
I was struck by the silence in the court and outside!! It was a win for justice and Paul and Maggie! But such a sad tragic case! No wins!
That's right, and I believe that unfortunately there's a lot more madness to come to light regarding this awful situation.
Thank you Creighton Waters snd your entire team!!!! You rock!!! And Alan Wilson…. Powerful work!!!
I still can't get that slip from AM out of my head - "she asked me to leave" I'm not surprised he couldn't retell the last conversations with his wife and son
Alex ripped his family apart. No one but the prosecution spoke for Maggie and Paul.
Her sister did, Blanca did. Alex did rip the family apart.
Well said.
@@its_me_cacass4567 One of the worst things Alex did was to let his boys think they were above the law. He allowed alcohol (drugs also?) at his house incessantly for the underage boys and their friends. They were very aware of this and Paul had a horrific drinking problem. There were no brakes in this family. Thus the boat wreck that would eventually cause the house of cards to fall. Maggie told her sister that she thought Paul’s trials would cost them in the tens of millions. So he could love him and hate him because he was destroying his way of life and stature.
But he was completely innocent. He said so himself.
@@1957esAgreed, but Maggie was partly to blame for that too. I watched another channel that did a special about the Murdaughs' and some of Maggie's own friend's said that Maggie taught those boys from an early age that "THEY WERE MURDAUGHS !" In the sense that ..... the rules didn't apply to them.
And Buster being involved with what happened to Stephen Smith ...., and Maggie with the house keeper, and Paul with the girl on the boat.... what a family ...
They were all connected to a lot of sketchy stuff. Most people never have to experience murder, mysterious deaths, accidental deaths in their lives; but this family was so involved in all of the above senerio's. Not normal 😕
WOW these are MAJOR interviews! Congrats Law & Crime I personally respect you ALL and ALL the HARD WORK YOU DO!
Phenomenal prosecution, brilliant, well done! Let's also give huge props to the Judge, he's absolutely amazing! Thank you jurors!
He damaged his law firm, his lawyer friends, & the clients from whom he stole and cheated. He destroyed his family and his wife's family & damaged his clan big-time. Horrible monster of a person IMO.
i wish i had a couple friends like he did & he threw them away.
Seriously. Used everyone around him for his own gain.
The lead DA deserves an🥇 award. At times I thought I was watching a Hollywood movie with lawyers against lawyers in a court.
Creighton Waters is a principled man.
I love these intimate sit down talks about their strategy!! Golden content, years of legal experience
Great job team 👏
Justice for Maggie and Paul
Hats off to the jurors and everyone on Mr Waters team ,Sled and witnesses. For making AM accountable for all his crimes and double murders . It's so haunts me hearing Maggie , Paul and Alec on dog tail video. The victims were doing their normal thing. Talking to Alec having no clue he was looking at them with hate and rage ready to shoot them dead . I think after AM shot Paul he could of yelled to Maggie that Paul shot himself. She runs to see horrific scene and AM shoots her in motion. Maggie had to know her husband in last moments shot Paul and now her. And never could fathom they were about to die minutes later after video. South Carolina people said enough
What was his motive?????????
Money!! But I don't think there was evidence to convict him.
Absolutely horrific story. Feel bad for everyone touched by this tragedy. I can’t imagine my last moments knowing my own father was killing me and my Mom died trying to stop it. Rest in paradise, Paul and Maggie.
On a side note, the Netflix mini series on the Murdaughs was so hard to watch. 😢💔
It was national tragedy.
To take on board this level of evil.
What is done in the darkness, will always be brought to the light.
Amen, yes it will.
Were you there? Nobody knows how it all played out. I won't go by their theory 🙄
@Cher65p4 K I agree. It's quite possible that even Alex doesn't know what happened that night. I'm not easily convinced of things like this case. We will never know the truth. There were far, far too many holes in the story of the prosecutors. I truly believe that Alex could be innocent of these charges. Is he a good person? No. Is he a murderer? I don't know.
@@schrankm the thought of his innocence coming out later on and a real killer is caught will be catastrophic and unimaginable. I think so many people, including this prosecution will try their hardest to cover that up. I'm not easily convinced of his guilt neither. But for the sake of our justice system, I sure hope they got it right!
Kudos to the Prosecution 👍👍👍 Great job 👏
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
John Meadors put the bow on the box , best closing argument ever 👍
Imagine Maggie’s sister. She took Alec in for months afterward. 💔
OMG.
My heart goes out to Maggie’s sister, I pray for peace
Right she’ll probably question herself now and everyone she allows in her life
Her testimony was so sad to watch, she is the only one who really seemed like she was hurt over the losses. And she still took Alex in. Bless her heart😫❤️
I’d like to know if anyone in the family had a relationship with God in their lives.
Do the ego's never end?!! Creighton Waters should be sitting in the MIDDLE for this conversation!!!! 😂🤭
Lmao the general luvs the media spotlight
Thank you for getting justice for Maggie and Paul! About an hour before you said, "Maggie was running to her baby," I had posted the same thing in a chat that was watching the trial. I can't imagine her terror seeing her husband killing her baby. Great work and I hope Mr. Waters gets some well deserved rest.
I.M.O. I think Maggie was in the wrong spot at the wrong time . Alex was going to kill Paul & Maggie seen it . Therefore , he shot her too .
Mags and Pau Pau.
Only 12 steps apart from one another
@@Deeznuts-dw2lo if he didnt have any in tensions in killing his wife then why did he call her and tell her to meet him at that house
Maggie and Paul were not good people, they didn't deserve to die but there's a lot of people who didn't get justice because of their deaths.
Incredible job Creighton Waters (you too AG for allowing your team to do excellent work and giving them the tools to do so)
Man I just watched the documentary and boy the whole family is gross. Mom, dad, kids, Grandpa etc. There are so many victims outside of this incident. All needs to come out
Mob/Crime family mentality for sure...all of them. Oh, and Good Ole Boy club all the way. It would make a very entertaining show actually.
@Elle N- both the Netflix and HBO documentaries offer really amazing (and sometimes different) insight and focus. If you can, watch them both. This family was in deep!
Me to I had no idea they all were just alike
Agree, the whole family was toxic to the core.
Buster is next. Hope they relook at that case.
WELL DONE GENTLEMEN!! WELL DONE......
Alex became more emboldened after each crime...he had a power trip for decades. This is where it leads to and where it ends. It feels good to see justice served. Well played Prosecution team.
It won't be over until the law enforcement that covered up all the crimes committed by the Murdoch family for years is prosecuted. If they had done their job Maggie and Paul would still be alive.
Domestic violence often goes unreported because the victims are ashamed and embarrassed and it's very possible that he was abusive towards Maggie and she just never told anyone because she wanted to preserve the perfect image of their family if you watch the Netflix documentary Paul was abusive towards his girlfriend often boys learned it from their fathers so I wouldn't be surprised if he was abusive of towards his wife. She definitely didn't want to go see him that last day which is a telltale sign
Good point!
Mr. Waters
We are so proud of you, thank you for pursuing justice
Well done Mr. Waters. You were brilliant! There are no winners,but justice was served.
That's very true. There is no winner. Evil you can just stop from destroying. You don't gain from that.
Mallory …Gloria ….Stephen …..R.I.P
I’m inspired to go back and rewatch Mr. Waters closing argument! Great job prosecuting team! Get yourself some well deserved rest!
Five and a half loooong hours! Be warned!
Congratulations! I hope the decision sticks through appeals. Prosecutor Waters, your presentation was amazing! Fascinating case, extremely tragic.
Your closing arguments should be taught as the gold standard in all law schools 🏆🏆👏👏👏
When Alex was on the stand talking about the type of person who would commit such a horrific crime, he was actually speaking about himself.
It’s called leakage.
@@lizmil like anal leakage ? Lmfao it’s actually called Projecting.
Yes!!!
@@lizmil wow. And maybe it is also dissociation... he thinks his alter ego did it and not he himself. He is crazy.
Or was he hmm🤔🤔
So sad for Maggie’s family. They have lived a nightmare from the night they were killed until now knowing he was guilty. It goes to show you how you really don’t know someone and what they are capable of.
I'm sure there were plenty of signs of Alec being a lier even violent. To say you can't trust anyone isn't true but you have to pay attention to there miss deads.
@@j_rainsgoat3929 I think the comment was you don’t really know what people are capable & that’s true, however as humans we tend to trust those we love.
Agree
It is very sad. And there are more than just one lesson to learn from here. Shows how corrupt the system is. At least justice was rightfully served in this case. Besides many others on the other side of this table.
Called that karma.. Maggie was definitely apart of the housekeepers death.. and nobody is telling me differently..
Waters did an excellent job, along with his team. Justice was served. ⚖️
I was so moved by the sheriff behind him 😢 his face showed more emotion and pain than Alex . What was going through his mind ? His wife ? His kid ? He was on the brink of tears . I applaud law enforcement and the decency and compassion they showed towards this case . Unfortunately they had a killer there w zero remorse that kept lying even after the honorable judge gave him the chance to say his part . So sad . Great coverage Law and Crime . ❤
Yes it did! And I could tell he was relieved when the sentence was announced!
I thought just the same x
I noticed that sheriff throughout. I believe he nodded in agreement when sentence was pronounced. He looked like someone out of central casting, very striking.
A job excellently done!!! Thank you for making justice prevail!!!!
Go Creighton Waters!!!!
Yes it’s the right ending BUT it’s still so incredibly sad that this man lived that life and when it got too hard he chose killing his family over saving his family. How can a human, father or husband do this
A person without a conscience can do many things.
Because he is not normal myself I'm sure you too and most normal people would rather die than kill loved ones in cold blood. I wouldn't want to live after that and couldn't live with myself but that shows the type of person he really is.
@@mrjasondylan Agree Jason. AM ain't normal! However God can reach even the most hardened criminals so who knows his ultimate destination when he dies.
All I can say is, Lo! how the mighty have fallen.
It is incredibly sad. I even feel sadness for Alex as in look how twisted and messed up he made his life. He had what most people pray for. A loving wife, healthy kids, a lucrative career, houses, boats, cars, trucks, toys, loyal friends and extended family. He could have worked through and taken accountability for things like the boat case, and addiction. It’s too bad he didn’t see that.
Great interview and coverage. The prosecution was tremendous.
Thank-you Law & Crime! This is quite an honour to see what these OUTSTANDING Prosecutors have to say after Judge Newman sentenced Alex & throws away the key😊! Awesome outstanding job to the Prosecution, the Jurors, & of course Judge Newman. You ALL most certainly made the right choice & am glad Justice has been served for Maggie & Paul. May they rest in peace... What a horrible & horrifying thing Alex did! And may this monster NEVER gets out! Alex is awfully fortunate that he didn't get the death penality!
This was such an excellent interview. I learned really valuable information about why Mr. Waters allowed Alex to talk so much and so much more valuable info that helped me understand the trial better. It was so interesting. I could have listened to the 2 of them for another hour. The interviewer asked the exact questions I wanted to know. Bravo to her! Sorry I don’t know her name.
Thanks to all the state attorneys, they were great
Thank you Mr Waters! You did a wonderful job. Yes, it is sad all the way around, but I’m glad he isn’t going to be walking free to hurt more people. The web he wove hurt sooo many people in so many ways. Thank you again and congrats!
No but is son family still there....this is a bad family hopefully more of is family will join him in jail
@@Cloudbreak1969 I agree, I think the whole family is corrupt in more ways than one! The trail of pain left behind by all of them is unbelievable.
Ty Mr.Waters. How you ran your whole case was exceptional! Your a brilliant human. And bringing the country together but other countries as well. I watched for 6 weeks from Canada 🇨🇦. Just brilliant!! I’m excited to watch the theft and fraud $$
Hopefully Trudeau is next 🇨🇦. Nova Scotia here.
I watched it all from the UK. It doesn't happen very often in USA but they got it right this time!! 👏👏
I bet Murdaugh wished he had the same lenient justice system as Canada. He would only serve 25 years and free to continue his life
@@doneldamacdonnell8602 trudeau needs to goooo
Watching from Canada as well. New fan of Mr. Waters. His southern drawl is a bonus.
These two guys summed this up perfectly. They are the perfect balance of humility, compassion, and vindication. Well done, Carolina, well done.
I was impressed by the closing argument of Walters " The gathering of the storm"
Great interview and explanations. Well done. Common sense, discernment, and justice prevails.
Mr Waters you and your team are heroes. So thankful Maggie and Paul got justice. God bless you all. RIP Maggie and Paul.
Congratulations to Creighton Waters for doing an absolutely stellar job. Was with you all the way. Without a doubt guilty. Many lessons to be learned on many levels, this case will be analysed and talked about for years to come. RIP Maggie and Paul.
The Judge and Head Prosecutor we're amazing.
This has been total tragedy to a family! It is very sad and sorrowful.
I’m so impressed and so proud of you gentlemen. Thank you for your hard work🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Creighton Waters without a doubt an incredible attorney!!
Love how you had three screens up. So we could see expressions in the courtroom.... The prosecution is Rock Stars !!.. Mr John was incredible bringing the closing home !!! HE Sound like a Baptist preacher up there 💛
Agreed! I watched Buster a lot! It was great to see several
people on screen.
Judge Newman is an incredible person. May he be blessed.
Judge Newman lost his son shortly before this God awful horribleness
😥 😪
@@mzkarmageddon2 nothing to do with the court case and his job - unless that meant he was biased ?
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻take a bow Sirs ! Thank you gentlemen ! You did so very well ! Law enforcement did excellent job , Sled etc. Very heartbreaking ! Maggie and Paul can rest in peace ! Prayers for the both sides of the family ! My heart goes to Buster so much !
Thank you for restoring some faith in the judicial system
Have watched this Trial from beginning from Dublin, Ireland. What a terrific prosecution team and true justice for the victims. Cannot believe he still claims he is innocent!!!! It is now so sad for both families for their loss and to come to terms with what Alex Murdaugh did to his wife and son. May God have mercy on his Soul.
Same Emma. 🤗 You should check out Anthony Todt’s trial, If you haven’t already. It’s quite similar in a lot of ways to this.
I believe first responders and police were met by that GOD OL BOY..out there..I'm positive he manipulated them from the second they arrived, he was spinning his usual yarn..it was his way of life..lying..
It took Waters grilling and annoying everyone, with his pounding TRUTH into every conversation that finally showed where TRUTH was..
Incredible work..all of them..up to n including the judge..
JUSTICE WON..it was swift n true..
@@hannahe7556I don’t know why but I have a hard time watching that one! The way he talks, it’s awful!
Gripping , From Dublin , will check the A Todi's trial . Mr C Waters should have been on the OJ's trial .He's the man !.
this stuff is better than movies and tv to me, reality is always stranger than fiction.
The financials were crucial; - the timing of Alex being backed into a corner and in a pressure cooker, and the FULL scale of the financial frauds had to be shown to show the extreme amount he was going to be exposed. The evidence was completely relevant and admissible under state of mind and motive.
These gentlemen have my utmost respect. Well done!
The closing arguments from the prosecution was amazing.
Well done Creighton Waters and team. I’ve been following this case from Australia since Maggie and Paul were murdered. I learned a lot from Murdaugh Murders Podcast and Fitsnews about the case and I’ve been watching Law and Crime throughout the trial. Fantastic work.
This Team is truly Amazing , Great Job Guys!!
I feel so bad for Maggie but justice is served. A huge thank you to the prosecutor's team.
Marion is who I feel for & her parents. God, comfort them as only You can.
Don't feel bad for Maggie, she's also a psychopath, she killed the nanny Gloria.
@@energypalace no she didn’t. Maggie wasn’t Alex. He might have but there’s no evidence that Maggie did anything to Gloria but love Gloria. Don’t tarnish her name! Rest in peace maggie
@@Mandy-ij3ss , bullsh*t
The whole family caused this. They were elitest and country bumpkins with titles. They wouldn't make it outside of the South with that ignorant behavior. Trashy & country at best.
Thank you for this coverage. Great wrap up!
Great team! Enjoyed this informative interview!!
