So right!! Things would have been so different if that video wasn't taken or hadn't been found. Imagine the surprise and adrenaline flowing when that video was discovered.
Also, if Maggie had gotten home when Alex thought she'd get home (7 pm-ish), he might have done them in before that video was taken. But she didn't get home till ~8:15. He lost that 1.25 hours of alibi time there.
Yay! I'm so happy to see this part 2 with this intimate group of the team. It was great to hear from each of them on a personal level such as this. Thank you ABC NEWS4!
This SC team did such an awesome job! You showed everyone what can be done when you work as a team. You all hit home runs. There are so many parts of the trial that are my favorite, but I definitely want to point out when John M said in Closing that how dare the Defense attack SLED and other LE agencies when AM held back evidence by saying he was not at the kennels! Thank you all!
Its hard to think that Paul knew his father shot him, and hard to think Maggie knew her husband killed their child, and she knew it was her husband that took her life.
@@tchili1 i dont know if you followed the Groves trial... but this is best closing i ever heard... she was out of this world... incredible! th-cam.com/video/72k97pI1ZYQ/w-d-xo.html
You guys did a marvellous job and you are INTERNATIONALLY !!! renowned & respected. I was watching from the beginning and I'm not in the US but in Europe ! God bless you all. You locked a murderer behind bars.
Yes I was watching too, from 6 am in morning from Nelson New Zealand 🇳🇿 my God I was in super market going "yeah !!! Waters ur so good,look at Alex squirm!!"then seeing everyone looking at me lol
Kash's tail, Bubba and the chicken, the 2% of charge in Pauls phone and the owner/friend of Paul who asked for the video, that was divine intervention. What a great team, thank you for bringing justice to a man who never thought this would happen. The Judge was wonderful!
If that proves murder to you, well there will be a lot of innocent individuals going to prison. No offense to the jury but I’ve seen rape cases with DNA to prove guilt take longer for verdicts.
Why doesn’t anyone ever bring up the fact that he told the 911 dispatcher “they were SHOT badly” The point is that if he was on scene in the near dark for only 19 seconds and there’s no firearm in sight: how does he know they were SHOT and not bludgeoned to death?!
VERY good point ! Did not think of that .... thanks for bringing that up. That is aaaabsolutely accurate ... and: how did he tell the sister of Megs (Mrs. Proctor) when she asked: "did Meggi suffer " HOW did he say: NO ... this disgusting murderer
VTX88: BINGO!!! I said the exact same thing!! How would he have known the means of what caused their injuries. 19 seconds or 30 seconds is definitely not enough time to look at 2 people and tell exactly what happened to them!!
When folks on the internet come up with a brilliant observation that somehow every law enforcement officer or member of the prosecution missed, there's usually a reason for it. All of these people -- Alex, the cops who responded, virtually every one of these prosecutors -- is a hunter. They've seen hundreds of animals shot to death. Maggie's body was riddled with bullets. Paul had the back of his head blown off. You didn't have to get close to them to know how they died. Trust me -- if they'd been poisoned and Alex immediately said "they were poisoned" the police would have picked up on it. This was not something they "failed to bring up" in court.
Meadors did so great---I was not expecting that...he was like a smart Southern Preacher....for some reason I loved it when he just grabbed someones water and chugged it for a few seconds----it was like he was so pissed he didnt care about anything but nailing Alex....
Judge Newman is a beautiful man. I truly believe he is a good ethical man with quality values. I would love to meet his wife. Just to see the strong woman whom keeps him in check 😂.
Yes he is ! He was the judge for the Samantha Josephson case too ( the USC student who got into the car with an animal, thinking it was her Uber ) . This judge did such a great job and didn’t put up with any nonsense. A great , kind and compassionate judge .
Creighton had some great zingers! 😂 I liked it when Alex was on the stand and responded to Creighton's question with, "let me see if I can explain so that we can get through this quicker" and Creighton responded, "Oh, I know you want to get through this quicker, but we're not." 😂😂😂😂😂
"I'm looking for people who aren't scared and I saw that in Savanna".What a testament to her strength and all on that team that found justice for Paul and Maggie.
It was by the grace of God, that the kennel video surfaced, that the blackout shells surfaced, and certainly that the jury had eyes to see and ears to hear. There was also a lot of prayer about justice and truth prevailing.
Loved this interview and watching the trial! Y’all are all SUPERSTARS here in SC!! Thank you for your hard work, grit and determination!!!! It shone throughout the trial!!! ❤🎉🎉🎉❤
Thanks for you alls hard work for so many days and nights 🌙 SUCH professionalism in such a very sad case that has touched so many people 😢 SO very hard to understand and so sad!! Thanks so much 🙏 💓
Thankyou for bringing this. The remarkable skill of all these people involved in this trial has been fascinating to listen to. Thankyou. Best wishes from Scotland❤
Most parents would step in front of a bullet for their child but not Alex . He sacrificed his own child to save himself and his way of life . That’s heartbreaking.
Watched the trial on You Tube who played it live everyday! Every aspect of this story was remarkable! You guys did a great job! The defense had little to work with! The circumstantial evidence was overwhelming. Alex Murdaugh is a complicated physcopath! Congratulations on your win! I was completely involved!
“Family Annihilator.” I had NEVER heard of that description of a Murderer. Prosecutor NAILED it. Alex KNEW that Creighton had given the right name for the Monster, within himself. I saw the Monster too, as Alex answered Creighton’s question. NEVER will forget that moment, in the Trial.
Omg. I saw it too. After Creighton asked if he was family annihilator Alex answered. Then a few seconds later Alex looked at creighton with murderous glare. I could actually see it and it scared me.
@@alfandeddie family annihilators sometimes leave one or two alive if it’s too inconvenient to kill them as well. See Grant Amato for example, who killed his parents and his brother over financial dishonesty, but left one of his brothers alive.
Chris Watts is a family annihilator, Chris Coleman and Chris Longo both family annihilator. Moral of the story!? Ladies, never have a family with a guy called Chris 😂
What a team! I followed the trial and at that time I found the way they interact and work together VERY impressive, but to see them here, and at the other video with the General, this shows you the real deal! These people did not only solved the murders, they truly care for one another and their proud faces and big smiles are lighting up the room! Thank you all for your service and for finding JUSTICE for Maggie and Paul and so many other people you fight for every day! You are appreciated by the whole world! Thank you! 🙏🏼 From the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Loved watching both parts of this interview with these amazing people! Your efforts have been recognised globally in light of this case. Great personalities, too. Much love from the UK ❤
Great to hear all the perspectives of the case. Great, great job by all! You have corrected the balance of Justice in the county to be fair once more. Congrats...
this team is just full of rockstars. i really don’t think they could’ve done a better job. the defense was bumbling and grasping for straws and these guys were focused and determined.
@41:51 I think Alex KNEW Paul’s video existed - that’s why he messed with P’s phone and “figured it out” his own words - he figured out that P’s phone was dead - thank goodness P let his battery run down. 💔
Agni you bring up a crucial & interesting point. About Paul's phone. Paul enjoyed snap chatting ( did it all the time ) . Had there been a charge left on that battery. It would of been pitched into the swamp. Like the guns.
I think Alex thought Paul was talking to Rogen about cash but I don’t think he knew he was videoing taping or the phone would of disappeared Alex also stated in cross he did not know what Paul was doing and at this point I got to where I could tell when Alex was lying and I felt like he was truthful and he was getting the chicken from Budda at that time. If Alex knew there was a video he would never left the phone he saw missed calls from rogen and thought there was no proof
Also, when Maggie;s sister was on the stand and she said I hope Maggie didn't suffer..and Alex said she didn't...how would he know if he wasn't there. Plus when she said his first priority was clearing Paul's name...and she said hers was to find out who killed them.
She did suffer. Sadly. The first two or three shots weren't fatal blows. The second two were. Both AM and Maggie were moving during the shots. She had to have been terrified
The guilt she suffers from telling her sister to go to Moselle was heartbreaking to hear. And it was so different from Alex who never expressed any regret about supposedly leaving the kennels right before they were killed.
Teamwork makes the dreamwork. Thank you all, for bringing justice for Maggie and Paul, Alex should have been their protector, ultimately all he did was try to protect himself, you exposed the truth, he was even on the stand unable to tell the truth. I followed the whole trial from the U.K. Was great to see your legal system at work, your tight team really nailed it ! Kudos to each and everyone. Thank heavens for the testimony’s of those affected & close to Alex who over many years suddenly realised they didn’t know him at all and also had become victims of his deception, Alex harmed everyone, finally at trial, he shot him self! I send healing and love to all that have sadly been deceived and hurt by this narcissistic compulsive liar. we have yet to see more, the depth of what damage he has done knows no bounds.. he is the cruelest of cruel. He’s now in the right place, behind bars for the murder of his wife and child, I hope as judge Newman says, the final image of them looking him in the eye as he took their lives haunts him every day & night. Again, this was a huge case and extremely complex. Yet you made us all see what we needed to see to without doubt know the killer was Alex, he had used & totally abused his power and bought shame upon his family and & so much hurt to the area he served and the good innocent people of the low country. Thanks for the insight during this interview, great work all.💜
As a nurse I fully understand the question of “why am I doing this “! The frustration of patient noncompliance, bullying both verbal and physical, family dynamics, etc is draining. But when you are truly called to fulfill a position you get up for the next shift with fighting determination.
Newly retired from healthcare after 47yrs. I kept at it bc the rewards were always at such a deeply moving level. I knew what I did mattered. Pts who were noncompliant or bad habits got them sick.... they were job security in a way. I handled difficult pts simply by being a good listener and knowing they were mainly afraid and having to trust ppl they didn't even know. I would still be working if my own body could still do the job. Look for the silver moments...but I'm betting U already do !
As a 35+ year nurse I truly believe nursing is a calling. Healthcare today though does not provide the care that patients used to received before the Gov’mt got involved.
One of the things that I found incredible and made me question his entire story, was him saying he checked their pulses. Your son is lying face down with the back of his head gone and his brain lying at his feet. Nobody can survive without an intact brain and if the crime scene was this bloody you’d have blood all over you if you bent over to take a pulse.
Thankyou ABC News 4, for the collection of these amazing interviews with the relevant players in this court case. They were all working like a well-oiled machine! I've watched about 100 hours of the extra video but want to watch the full trial too. Amazing coverage. Thank you!!
Not only this south carolina team ,how bout the Linda dunikoski team, the amaud arbery case out in Georgia, Georgia v mcmichaels ,she sure taught me all about the law omgdness just al are amazing superstars !!!! For justice
Thank you all for making this public. A lot of us watched a majority of this trail and didn’t get the see the attorney view from their perspective. We only saw the courtroom testimonies unfold. I know this team worked so hard for justice for this Mother. Son, family and friends. Thank you for sharing.
Alec was yelling at Bubba probably because he knew what he was about to do and he didn’t want anything to throw him off course. Alec was moments away from blowing away his son and wife. what could he have been thinking?
Have you seen the timeline of Paul's, Maggie's, and Alex's phone data and Alex's car data? Honestly, I live in SC, only about an hour from Hampton and I just didn't get into any of this, when it happened. It wasn't until the trial had begun and approximately into the 2nd week, my mom told me it was a "must see" - so I went back to the beginning to catch up. But it wasn't until the trial was over, that I read the timeline and when you get to the timeframe where Maggie's and Paul's phones are locked forever, to realize at about that exact time, they were blown away, is chilling. For anyone reading this and that hasn't seen it, Google Murdaugh Timeline of Evidence: This is what happened the night Paul and Maggie were murdered. It gives details about the entire day, including some calls and FaceTime that Alex deleted from his phone so extraction of info from his phone doesn't match the main data base information.
I would have loved to see Alex’s face when he saw that kennel video . I was on the fence until I heard / saw that video but then it was so clear he had done this . I didn’t want to believe a man could kill his own son but there was no denying it after that .
I learned so much from viewing this video. It triggered me to go back and watch sections of the trial to see what they were talking about. This trial was so deep.
I thought the prosecuting attorney Waters was amazing!! Nailed it!! He painted the picture so clearly and pushed Alex to say things he didn’t want to say. Nothing left unanswered except for Alex’s continual lying! I think he became a pathological liar and narcissist!! He had a skill at playing people. He even convinced his brothers he wasn’t guilty of murders. They knew he’d stolen but I just think they didn’t want to believe it!! He became so callused he no longer had a conscience!! I loved the judges comments when Alex was being sentenced!! The thing is we can all do things we never thought we could do…but he gradually let it take possession of him! I think maybe he got to a point where he didn’t know what was true and what wasn’t over all!!
The cross of Alex was amazing! The first day made me nervous but then on the 2nd day when Creighton let him talk and the when he kept asking him when he first decided to lie. It kept building and building. When he showed the video with Officer Green I actually let out a shout because it was such an amazing finale. Alex actually seemed to deflate after that.
Such an excellent interview. All of your interviews have been fabulous!Great work from the state and everyone involved in this case. Makes me want to move from NC to SC. For now I’ll visit. Congratulations to all
@@soniaf6156 I felt she walked a fine line. She knew Maggie loved Alex and was "happy", but we totally could read between the lines and knew Marion put the air quotes. Had she known more she would have said more. But she didn't KNOW anything. She was very upfront about what SHE thought about what she SAW though.
Amazing that the Attorney General didn’t elbow his way into the center of this interview and take over. I’m glad the real prosecutors were able to talk.
Attorney Tinsley said that during the trial Harpootlian sidled up to him and said, "We focused grouped it. The jury isn't buying the financial motive." To which he replied: "I hope you can get a refund." Zing. Though the cost will be charged to Alex Murdaugh, to pay with the money he says he doesn't have. Buster will have to take another relaxing 15 hour holiday to the Bahamas.
Disagree with Creighton that nobody knew Alex Murdaugh. Nobody in his front line life knew him. There are a number of people from Alec's shadow life who knew exactly who he was
Like who? Even cousin Eddie said he felt betrayed by Alec and confused. He was doing Alec these favours by cashing laundered money for him, obtaining opioids for him and yet he just dropped him like a hot potato.
Yes, I believe you are very right on this one. Alex Murdaugh was smart, but not that smart! I mean every narcissist's Achiles heal is they believe they out smart everybody else and when time goes by they get sloppy. AM deceived people for years. Someone must have been suspicious of his methods, lies and lack of morals, but perhaps didn't have the means to go against him or thought it was a lost course as Paul's friend expressed (the one who's girlfriend got killed in the boat-accident). I do believe AM revealed his bad character to a lot of different people over the years, but I'm not sure anyone knew just how sinister he was - to this day I'm not sure he knows himself.
@Suzy Moroka like who? How about Buster (who cheated and got kicked out of law school and who was working with Alex to bribe his way back in), Alex's dad who was his "fixer", Maggie, who was in the proces of divorcing him, Alex's brothers Randy and John Marvin, who are knee deep in the thievery, and Alex's bank buddies who shifted money from victims to Alexs pockets...need any more?
@@suzymoroka297 the after the sun goes down crowd. Alex knew drug dealers, bookies, organized crime, prostitutes and crooked cops. These were really his people. And they knew him well.
The entire team did an amazing job, and this trial was riveting. Some of the most poignant testimony was from Maggie's sister Marion, Blanca, and Shelly. It seemed clear that they realized the man they had known for so many years was a monster. AM's attempts to manipulate them into lying (Blanca and Shelly) or denying the truth of the last conversation between two sisters (Marion & Maggie) was utterly despicable. I hope they all find peace.
A brilliant and well prepared team . A measured and dignified performance. The Judge and Police too, played their faultless part. Surely this trial ; would make the perfect law manual for aspiring young lawyers. Most Impressive and well done from " Across the pond ".
All you attorneys did a FANTASTIC JOB showing the evidence. So proud of you! Alex was guilty as heck! The video, car info and cell info was perfect. Paul nailed his dad with that video...no emotion from Alex ever...just fake crying..no tears...the money fraud I got...but the video etc was it!!
Alex said on the stand exactly where Maggie was standing in the driveway looking at the pine trees behind the feeding room. I think Alex used to guns to set up the scenario of Paul shooting Maggie with the black out and then shooting himself with the shotgun, but Paul didn’t die with the first shot Alex had to shoot him twice!🤔🤔
Outstanding work, trial, outcome! Everyone was prepared, they told the story and got the conviction. The judge was a perfect judge, so impressive for all judges to emulate. Bravi!!!
Until the jury came back in less than three hours. When he was standing there waiting for the verdict to be read, he was sweating bullets. He knew he was sunk.
This is a great team! Wonderful job! I wish all prosecuting teams have this talent! The moment I knew Alex was guilty.....reading the timeline from phones and car read-out. The hairs on my neck stood up, I knew I was looking at the moment when two lives were taken.
So much of a better interview than part one in terms of everyone having an opportunity to speak. Glad to see the interviewers engage everyone. I, like David, said the same thing about Bubba...so glad he was a stubborn dog 🐕 🐶 for what was needed to show Alex's lies. Good job team!!! Be well and be at peace.
Everyone had a chance to speak because the politician Attorney General was not there trying to elbow everyone out of the way and grab all of the attention!
To all of those involved in this case, you are a great bunch of people, thank you all. This was a stand up team of great professionals, what a feat. The prosecution may even say, that they practiced all their lives for justice such as this. I am, like thousands of others so proud of them. Having said that, I also believe the prosecution knew going in that they would be able to slam dunk this case, as the officers first on site did everything right, and the questioning of Alex in the car was professional all the way. The jurors were clearly stand up people with common sense, which is not always the case as we know. Congrats......Canada.
Wjat disturbed me was lying about the dog kennels,lying about the lights and his badge at the hospital,his behavior and his behavior on the scene and the timing of when he went to see his mother. He was so clean and dry and yet he checked the bodies.
OMG ! ' Only Alex was not afraid ' by Maggie's sister spoke volume of her feelings on the murder. The Hon. Judge Newman was GREAT & FAIR. This should be made into a Movie ' Circumstance Evidence,Bubba & Cash' Brilliant Prosecution Team!❤🎉🎉🎉
Does anyone else know that Creighton played lead guitar while in a band in college called the SOLE PURPOSE? I think he still plays because the video online doesn't show him to be a young man. He's good too.
I thought Alex came across not too bright....the snorting drove me crazing...I wanted to tell him to blow his darn nose..Maggie was so much prettier...she could have done better! Creighton, when you asked about if his family was prominent...I didn't think he knew the meaning of the word. I never heard someone TALK TALK TALK about nothing for so long...I could tell from the first night of the murders he was guilty just the way he acted...he cared more about the boat crash than the bodies of his family...this family was a screwed up mess...I blame the parents for how the kids were...obviously no discipline...glad I had my parents
I learned more about South Carolina from this case than I had ever dreamed of, and Creighton Waters has represented his state in simply an incredibly impressive way. Before, honestly, I just thought of S. Carolina as a very poor, racist state, one of the poorest in the US. And I knew Stephen Colbert was from S. Carolina! Now, when I think about S. Carolina...omg I think about this brilliant State legal team and the incredibly classy and brilliant, super dignified way they handled this case. The way they practiced their phenomenal team work. Wow!!!
Without Cash being there, Paul would not have taken the video...without Bubba, Alex would not be heard on Paul's video. Thank God for Cash and Bubba!
So right!! Things would have been so different if that video wasn't taken or hadn't been found. Imagine the surprise and adrenaline flowing when that video was discovered.
Thank God indeed!
And it was taken because Paul was close to his friends.
Also, if Maggie had gotten home when Alex thought she'd get home (7 pm-ish), he might have done them in before that video was taken. But she didn't get home till ~8:15. He lost that 1.25 hours of alibi time there.
Big Mac I have wondered if alex had done something to the dog's tail to get Paul out there.
Yay! I'm so happy to see this part 2 with this intimate group of the team. It was great to hear from each of them on a personal level such as this. Thank you ABC NEWS4!
This SC team did such an awesome job! You showed everyone what can be done when you work as a team. You all hit home runs. There are so many parts of the trial that are my favorite, but I definitely want to point out when John M said in Closing that how dare the Defense attack SLED and other LE agencies when AM held back evidence by saying he was not at the kennels!

Its hard to think that Paul knew his father shot him, and hard to think Maggie knew her husband killed their child, and she knew it was her husband that took her life.
💔
💔
😭
It's been haunting me a little, too.
The flip side of that: Paul exposed his father and avenged the death of his mother with that video.
Meador's closing was the best of the trial... very well done
1 of the best I have ever seeing ,he put it together in 1 hour
Best closing I've ever heard. Even if they do a movie, whoever plays Mr. M, won't be able to deliver it better than the original!

Loved watching both parts of this interview with these amazing people! Your efforts have been recognised globally in light of this case. Great personalities, too. Much love from the UK ❤
Great to hear all the perspectives of the case. Great, great job by all! You have corrected the balance of Justice in the county to be fair once more. Congrats...
this team is just full of rockstars. i really don’t think they could’ve done a better job. the defense was bumbling and grasping for straws and these guys were focused and determined.
@41:51 I think Alex KNEW Paul’s video existed - that’s why he messed with P’s phone and “figured it out” his own words - he figured out that P’s phone was dead - thank goodness P let his battery run down. 💔
Agni you bring up a crucial & interesting point. About Paul's phone. Paul enjoyed snap chatting ( did it all the time ) . Had there been a charge left on that battery. It would of been pitched into the swamp. Like the guns.
I think Alex thought Paul was talking to Rogen about cash but I don’t think he knew he was videoing taping or the phone would of disappeared Alex also stated in cross he did not know what Paul was doing and at this point I got to where I could tell when Alex was lying and I felt like he was truthful and he was getting the chicken from Budda at that time. If Alex knew there was a video he would never left the phone he saw missed calls from rogen and thought there was no proof
Creighton and John did an AWESOME JOB!! thank you!!
Great to hear from all the attorneys! Thank you!
Also, when Maggie;s sister was on the stand and she said I hope Maggie didn't suffer..and Alex said she didn't...how would he know if he wasn't there. Plus when she said his first priority was clearing Paul's name...and she said hers was to find out who killed them.
Yes, more could have been explored here. But she was scared and they were gentle with her. She knew more than she shared.
She did suffer. Sadly. The first two or three shots weren't fatal blows. The second two were. Both AM and Maggie were moving during the shots. She had to have been terrified
The guilt she suffers from telling her sister to go to Moselle was heartbreaking to hear. And it was so different from Alex who never expressed any regret about supposedly leaving the kennels right before they were killed.
Just Bc he told her No, you made can by what he had seen, I don't believe he killed Maggie
Teamwork makes the dreamwork. Thank you all, for bringing justice for Maggie and Paul, Alex should have been their protector, ultimately all he did was try to protect himself, you exposed the truth, he was even on the stand unable to tell the truth. I followed the whole trial from the U.K. Was great to see your legal system at work, your tight team really nailed it ! Kudos to each and
everyone. Thank heavens for the testimony’s of those affected & close to Alex who over many years suddenly realised they didn’t know him at all and
also had become victims of his deception, Alex harmed everyone, finally at trial, he shot him self! I send healing and love to all that have sadly been deceived and hurt by this narcissistic compulsive liar. we have yet to see more, the depth of what damage he has done knows no bounds.. he is the cruelest of cruel. He’s now in the right place, behind bars for the murder of his wife and child, I hope as judge Newman says, the final image of them looking him in the eye as he took their lives haunts him every day & night.
Again, this was a huge case and extremely complex. Yet you made us all see what we needed to see to without doubt know the killer was Alex, he had used & totally abused his power and bought shame upon his family and & so much hurt to the area he served and the good innocent people of the low country.
Thanks for the insight during this interview, great work all.💜
Ps i watched the trial live all the way away in New Zealand. And was bouncing with joy when I saw the verdict come back guilty 😄
They have a group of clearheaded jurors.
So glad the witnesses who they thought were powerful were Ms. Shelley and Ms. Marian. Of course, Kenny Kinsey as well.
Bubba is with Blanca now and I'm so glad he is. He's kind of a hero.
As a nurse I fully understand the question of “why am I doing this “! The frustration of patient noncompliance, bullying both verbal and physical, family dynamics, etc is draining. But when you are truly called to fulfill a position you get up for the next shift with fighting determination.
Newly retired from healthcare after 47yrs. I kept at it bc the rewards were always at such a deeply moving level. I knew what I did mattered.
Pts who were noncompliant or bad habits got them sick.... they were job security in a way.
I handled difficult pts simply by being a good listener and knowing they were mainly afraid and having to trust ppl they didn't even know.
I would still be working if my own body could still do the job.
Look for the silver moments...but I'm betting U already do !
We appreciate you (nurses) more than you know!
Be well and be at peace.
As a 35+ year nurse I truly believe nursing is a calling. Healthcare today though does not provide the care that patients used to received before the Gov’mt got involved.
This trial was all consuming and fascinating. Awesome job ladies and gentlemen.👏👏👏👏👏⚖
Bubba, Kash, and the chicken were all so helpful! Oh, and the attorneys were absolutely great!!
Without the chicken sacrificing it's life Alex would have walked.
One of the things that I found incredible and made me question his entire story, was him saying he checked their pulses. Your son is lying face down with the back of his head gone and his brain lying at his feet. Nobody can survive without an intact brain and if the crime scene was this bloody you’d have blood all over you if you bent over to take a pulse.
No one wants to admit their loved one is dead. He is saying he chec he checked their pulse bc he just couldn't believe that he 'gotten reL good"
Savannah you are an inspiration! Thank you for your spirit and inspirational work!
Thankyou ABC News 4, for the collection of these amazing interviews with the relevant players in this court case. They were all working like a well-oiled machine! I've watched about 100 hours of the extra video but want to watch the full trial too. Amazing coverage. Thank you!!
I hope SLED and AG office works as great with Stephen Smith case.
Who would ever imagine that this countries most outstanding prosecuting team would be from South Carolina? I wish they'd been prosecuting OJ.
Not only this south carolina team ,how bout the Linda dunikoski team, the amaud arbery case out in Georgia, Georgia v mcmichaels ,she sure taught me all about the law omgdness just al are amazing superstars !!!! For justice
Thank you all for making this public. A lot of us watched a majority of this trail and didn’t get the see the attorney view from their perspective. We only saw the courtroom testimonies unfold. I know this team worked so hard for justice for this Mother. Son, family and friends. Thank you for sharing.
Alec was yelling at Bubba probably because he knew what he was about to do and he didn’t want anything to throw him off course. Alec was moments away from blowing away his son and wife. what could he have been thinking?
Have you seen the timeline of Paul's, Maggie's, and Alex's phone data and Alex's car data? Honestly, I live in SC, only about an hour from Hampton and I just didn't get into any of this, when it happened. It wasn't until the trial had begun and approximately into the 2nd week, my mom told me it was a "must see" - so I went back to the beginning to catch up. But it wasn't until the trial was over, that I read the timeline and when you get to the timeframe where Maggie's and Paul's phones are locked forever, to realize at about that exact time, they were blown away, is chilling. For anyone reading this and that hasn't seen it, Google Murdaugh Timeline of Evidence: This is what happened the night Paul and Maggie were murdered. It gives details about the entire day, including some calls and FaceTime that Alex deleted from his phone so extraction of info from his phone doesn't match the main data base information.
I would have loved to see Alex’s face when he saw that kennel video . I was on the fence until I heard / saw that video but then it was so clear he had done this . I didn’t want to believe a man could kill his own son but there was no denying it after that .
Creighton and John👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🎯💯the whole team was just great!
I will never get over this case.
Unreal!
I learned so much from viewing this video. It triggered me to go back and watch sections of the trial to see what they were talking about. This trial was so deep.
I thought the prosecuting attorney Waters was amazing!! Nailed it!! He painted the picture so clearly and pushed Alex to say things he didn’t want to say. Nothing left unanswered except for Alex’s continual lying! I think he became a pathological liar and narcissist!! He had a skill at playing people. He even convinced his brothers he wasn’t guilty of murders. They knew he’d stolen but I just think they didn’t want to believe it!! He became so callused he no longer had a conscience!! I loved the judges comments when Alex was being sentenced!! The thing is we can all do things we never thought we could do…but he gradually let it take possession of him! I think maybe he got to a point where he didn’t know what was true and what wasn’t over all!!
He wanted to look good from the outside but he was living a duplicitous life!! For many years!!!
He wasn't living in reality
Randy thinks he's guilty.
You four were amazing well done HH from Ireland xx
I couldn't believe the defense wanted them to go to Mozelle...that was a plus!
Great Interview! These Prosecutor's were 100% invested and absolutely shined!
The cross of Alex was amazing! The first day made me nervous but then on the 2nd day when Creighton let him talk and the when he kept asking him when he first decided to lie. It kept building and building. When he showed the video with Officer Green I actually let out a shout because it was such an amazing finale. Alex actually seemed to deflate after that.
Such an excellent interview. All of your interviews have been fabulous!Great work from the state and everyone involved in this case. Makes me want to move from NC to SC. For now I’ll visit. Congratulations to all
Followed from the 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧U.K. world renowned lawyers now !! 🎉🎉❤
“Bubba, run to the killer…”. I yelled. 😮😂
Marion was Maggies voice. It felt like Maggie was in the room.
Agree she looked and sounded like Maggie. Idk if she really stood up for her sister though. I think she knows a lot more.
@@soniaf6156 I felt she walked a fine line. She knew Maggie loved Alex and was "happy", but we totally could read between the lines and knew Marion put the air quotes.
Had she known more she would have said more. But she didn't KNOW anything.
She was very upfront about what SHE thought about what she SAW though.
And she has to live with the fact that she convinced her sister to go home and be with Alex.
Amazing that the Attorney General didn’t elbow his way into the center of this interview and take over. I’m glad the real prosecutors were able to talk.
Classy AG guy
Attorney Tinsley said that during the trial Harpootlian sidled up to him and said, "We focused grouped it. The jury isn't buying the financial motive."
To which he replied: "I hope you can get a refund."
Zing.
Though the cost will be charged to Alex Murdaugh, to pay with the money he says he doesn't have. Buster will have to take another relaxing 15 hour holiday to the Bahamas.
Disagree with Creighton that nobody knew Alex Murdaugh. Nobody in his front line life knew him. There are a number of people from Alec's shadow life who knew exactly who he was
Like who? Even cousin Eddie said he felt betrayed by Alec and confused. He was doing Alec these favours by cashing laundered money for him, obtaining opioids for him and yet he just dropped him like a hot potato.
Yes, I believe you are very right on this one. Alex Murdaugh was smart, but not that smart! I mean every narcissist's Achiles heal is they believe they out smart everybody else and when time goes by they get sloppy. AM deceived people for years. Someone must have been suspicious of his methods, lies and lack of morals, but perhaps didn't have the means to go against him or thought it was a lost course as Paul's friend expressed (the one who's girlfriend got killed in the boat-accident). I do believe AM revealed his bad character to a lot of different people over the years, but I'm not sure anyone knew just how sinister he was - to this day I'm not sure he knows himself.
@Suzy Moroka like who? How about Buster (who cheated and got kicked out of law school and who was working with Alex to bribe his way back in), Alex's dad who was his "fixer", Maggie, who was in the proces of divorcing him, Alex's brothers Randy and John Marvin, who are knee deep in the thievery, and Alex's bank buddies who shifted money from victims to Alexs pockets...need any more?
@@suzymoroka297 the after the sun goes down crowd. Alex knew drug dealers, bookies, organized crime, prostitutes and crooked cops. These were really his people. And they knew him well.
@@suzymoroka297 mostly though his victims. Alex is in his 50's? He has steamrolled many people in town by then.
The entire team did an amazing job, and this trial was riveting. Some of the most poignant testimony was from Maggie's sister Marion, Blanca, and Shelly. It seemed clear that they realized the man they had known for so many years was a monster. AM's attempts to manipulate them into lying (Blanca and Shelly) or denying the truth of the last conversation between two sisters (Marion & Maggie) was utterly despicable. I hope they all find peace.
A brilliant and well prepared team . A measured and dignified performance. The Judge and Police too, played their faultless part. Surely this trial ; would make the perfect law manual for aspiring young lawyers. Most Impressive and well done from " Across the pond ".
“No One Is Above The Law” is one of the biggest lies being told in this country right now.
Great job guys. I’m looking forward to seeing the movie of this whole entire story/incident . 👌🏾😊🎉
All you attorneys did a FANTASTIC JOB showing the evidence. So proud of you! Alex was guilty as heck! The video, car info and cell info was perfect. Paul nailed his dad with that video...no emotion from Alex ever...just fake crying..no tears...the money fraud I got...but the video etc was it!!
Waters..outstanding
Creighton Waters is one of this countries star prosecutors. I'll bet he's known all over the world now. I loved his confidence and aura of power.
Alex said on the stand exactly where Maggie was standing in the driveway looking at the pine trees behind the feeding room. I think Alex used to guns to set up the scenario of Paul shooting Maggie with the black out and then shooting himself with the shotgun, but Paul didn’t die with the first shot Alex had to shoot him twice!🤔🤔
Thank God for Bubba! 🐕🦺😎💯
Outstanding work, trial, outcome! Everyone was prepared, they told the story and got the conviction. The judge was a perfect judge, so impressive for all judges to emulate. Bravi!!!
Just brilliant SC lawyers and other agents. Thank you from NZ/Australia.
These are the kind of solicitors every state needs. ❤
AM taking the stand was like a fast moving train wreck. He totally thought he was succeeding in pulling the wool over everyone's eyes lol.
Until the jury came back in less than three hours. When he was standing there waiting for the verdict to be read, he was sweating bullets. He knew he was sunk.
Yeah that's come back 🔙 to bite him in the ass
This is a great team! Wonderful job! I wish all prosecuting teams have this talent! The moment I knew Alex was guilty.....reading the timeline from phones and car read-out. The hairs on my neck stood up, I knew I was looking at the moment when two lives were taken.
So much of a better interview than part one in terms of everyone having an opportunity to speak. Glad to see the interviewers engage everyone.
I, like David, said the same thing about Bubba...so glad he was a stubborn dog 🐕 🐶 for what was needed to show Alex's lies.
Good job team!!!
Be well and be at peace.
Everyone had a chance to speak because the politician Attorney General was not there trying to elbow everyone out of the way and grab all of the attention!
@@bettycattk5298 Someone is mad.
To all of those involved in this case, you are a great bunch of people, thank you all. This was a stand up team of great professionals, what a feat. The prosecution may even say, that they practiced all their lives for justice such as this. I am, like thousands of others so proud of them. Having said that, I also believe the prosecution knew going in that they would be able to slam dunk this case, as the officers first on site did everything right, and the questioning of Alex in the car was professional all the way. The jurors were clearly stand up people with common sense, which is not always the case as we know. Congrats......Canada.
That Knick during reply closing was powerful and well placed
*knock
Enjoyed this interview!! Awesome!!
Wjat disturbed me was lying about the dog kennels,lying about the lights and his badge at the hospital,his behavior and his behavior on the scene and the timing of when he went to see his mother. He was so clean and dry and yet he checked the bodies.
Mr Meadors you were Excellent!
I loved the excitement you brought, You brought it Home, Yes you did💯
OMG ! ' Only Alex was not afraid ' by Maggie's sister spoke volume of her feelings on the murder. The Hon. Judge Newman was GREAT & FAIR.
This should be made into a Movie ' Circumstance Evidence,Bubba & Cash' Brilliant Prosecution Team!❤🎉🎉🎉
Does anyone else know that Creighton played lead guitar while in a band in college called the SOLE PURPOSE? I think he still plays because the video online doesn't show him to be a young man. He's good too.
Yes he is currently playing with the Sole Purpose band and Lighten Up Francis band. A very talented guitarist indeed.
I think John Meaders’ closing was the cherry.
I thought Alex came across not too bright....the snorting drove me crazing...I wanted to tell him to blow his darn nose..Maggie was so much prettier...she could have done better! Creighton, when you asked about if his family was prominent...I didn't think he knew the meaning of the word. I never heard someone TALK TALK TALK about nothing for so long...I could tell from the first night of the murders he was guilty just the way he acted...he cared more about the boat crash than the bodies of his family...this family was a screwed up mess...I blame the parents for how the kids were...obviously no discipline...glad I had my parents
Chewing tobacco 🤮! Maggie kissed that mouth?
@@suzymoroka297 He's just gross in his entirety🟢
Someone get Bubba a chicken flavored biscuit. Good boy!
I learned more about South Carolina from this case than I had ever dreamed of, and Creighton Waters has represented his state in simply an incredibly impressive way.
Before, honestly, I just thought of S. Carolina as a very poor, racist state, one of the poorest in the US. And I knew Stephen Colbert was from S. Carolina! Now, when I think about S. Carolina...omg I think about this brilliant State legal team and the incredibly classy and brilliant, super dignified way they handled this case. The way they practiced their phenomenal team work. Wow!!!
I think some people knew who he was but chose to ignore his traits due to miss placed loyalty
Savannah’s my favorite .. Strong, smart lady. 🙂
What a proud moment for our Prosecutors, SLED, and the entire team who worked this case.. Thank you ⚖️
Thank you. This really was great to watch.
You guys did a fantastic job.
Only tv trial I've watched since O.J. Much better outcome. Thank You well done.
Amazing team.🎉🎉
