@@wcolautti how do we know that Maggie definitely knew? I'm kinda new to this case so please forgive me if it's something obvious! I can't quit watching videos of this trial! So sad all around.
This lawyer is really good. He laid out all the facts without skipping a beat. He said everything that needed to be said. He was the voice for Maggie and Paul. Good job!
@@Jonsmama1 No, Bubba was the voice. They barely needed the lawyers had the financial crimes not been allowed. They tainted the trial imo. I'd have preferred a clear cut double murder trial. The lying in the financial crimes (which were not legally discovered/indicted for until after the murders was extremely prejudicial.
This is the third time I’ve watched this closing argument by Waters. I don’t even consider myself that interested in “true crime”, but this presentation really impressed me. Just from a delivering the facts kind of way. Great job.
Without a doubt, Waters delivered a closing argument that was methodical. It was the knockout blow in an exhaustive trial of a man who many had there minds made up about even before the trial began. Hats off to Waters, argument was enthralling from start to finish.
It's amazing how easily one's cell phone hangs them in a criminal case. Murdaugh was a prosecutor, you'd think he would have had a wee bit more forethought. But then again he had been skating along with impunity for so long, that he didn't bother tying every loose end. His sheer arrogance is staggering.
A boyfriend of mine was stabbed repeatedly. That was 35 yrs ago. I can remember where I was sitting, give a pretty good time frame, where he was standing, the exact words the girl said to him, the exact words and movements of myself. I can remember after running to get help grabbing the bloody knife from her hand. I remember the feel of his blood as I helped him to the medical centre next to the night club we both worked out. I remember what I told the Dr what the Dr said to me. I can even tell you the joke I made when he asked me in the back of the ambulance if his dace was still pretty. I remember every thing. How does he not remember what his and Maggie's last words were. How long he slept for, what they talked about during dinner, what happened to his shoes & shirt he was wearing before he went to hos mothers. He forgot to many important details. But could remember things to help his story full of lies. My friend didn't die we were very lucky a medical centre was so close. RIP Bernie never forget ya darl
@@cathbooth1980 They shouldn't have let him continue to shrug his shoulders and roll his eyes 👀 If he doesn't like Alex Murdaugh or for any reason he doesn't approve of what is going on he still SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SIT BACK THERE BEHIND MURDAUGH LIKE THAT!!!!! He looks creepy to me
What a crazy case. Thank God for Paul's snap chat or else he may have gotten away with it. It's like him identifying his killer from the grave. Justice served.
Thank God Bubba caught the chicken at the precise moment he did. Thank God the shells at the farm target range were there to compare to the shells found at the scene to know family guns were used.
I think Alex grabbed Paul's phone immediately after killing them so that he could delete the tree sapling video because that caused a problem with his missing (blood splattered) clothes and shoes. He probably tried typing in Paul's birth date but Paul was more careful than that. He probably tried using Paul's dead fingertips to open the phone. But he couldn't get the angle right and was starting to panic as he had such a tight timeline to achieve an alibi and get rid of the clothes and gun. So immediately in the cop car after the shooting he's babbling away about trying to do stuff on Paul's phone (explain why there was blood on it when it was in Paul's pocket at the time of shooting). That was a massive red flag. Who starts touching their son's phone when their son's brains have been blown out? Then there was the call to the police where he didn't realise it was being recorded as it was ringing and he was silent and calm and then switched on the fake hysteria the minute the police answered the phone. There were the self admissions 'i did him so bad' telling the police me made a mess of shooting his son. And on the stand he said that while down at the kennels he was 'getting ready to do what I really didn't want to do'. There was other stuff but that's just for starters.
When that audio was slowed down I heard clear as day "they did him so bad". Having said that he definitely murdered his family or paid someone to do it. Either way he's guilty
Wtf could Alex be jotting down during the closing arguments??? His canteen list? 😭😒 I’m so glad the jury seen through his terrible act! 🚮…and to you MR. CREIGHTON WATERS 🫡 🥂🎉
Mr Waters, that was one of the BEST closing arguments I’ve heard. The way you explained things was wonderful. Thank you for all your hard work and time you and your team put forth to help convict the DEVIL know as AM. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❣️❣️❣️❣️
He did an awesome job!! So glad they let him keep expanding on his yes or no questions. Probably the long pause made him think they were waiting for him to elaborate and he believed for years he is the best at it. Lol and once he started he just kept going , likely because it was time for question #2? And of course he always got a question to answer short style but again he failed.

@ 1:23:45 when he said Maggie was running to her baby and got shot down zoom in and notice Alex is shaking his head in agreement without realizing it. He's being forced to relive the truth and he's unconsciously confirming it as he pictures it.
Paul murdered the girl on the boat, we think Buster murdered Steven and that will go to trial, Alex murdered Paul and Maggie and possibly the housekeeper. That makes all of them murderers except Maggie
@@adelaidemarie Are you mentally slow? Paul was shitfaced and drove a powerful boat on a river he wasn't very familiar with. It was nighttime and he was speeding when they crashed. Paul killed that girl through his actions 100%.

The more money you have the more you need. He couldn't cope with a huge amount of money which most of us would never see 😕 He was so guilty, you can see from when he was sitting in the Police car. The officers with him knew from his body language that it wasn't right.
Mr Meadors is on no sleep he keeps yawning and rubbing his face while listening. What a trooper! They both did such an incredible job and now they can rest. Thank you, prosecutors!!
2:46:25 look at my mans right there, what is he even doing? Then he steps up for the prosecution closing rebuttal and delivers a railroad tie sized nail in AM’s coffin like a titan.
I compare this closing to the Amber heard case, if you think Camille Vasquez was extraordinary, I believe Creighton Waters was absolute next level. The way he recites events and literally everything considering the complexity of it all was just phenomenal.
Camille Vasquez extraordinary 😂? No way. She cannot even begin to hold a candle to Creighton Waters. The depth of this investigation, his command of the facts, his storytelling ability, and his legal mind are all amazing.
AM watches his life go down the pan. 2:11:06 I wonder if this was the moment he realised he’d have to sell those garish red shoes for commissary? 🤔 Justice has been served for Maggie 🤍🕊️ & Paul 🤍🕊️ Now we need justice for his all other crimes too. 🙏
I feel so bad for Paul's friend who was having the phone conversation has Paul's father was coming to kill him. That young man was waiting for that video and now knows why it didn't come, plus it also meant he had to at some point go and retrieve the dog, which is the exact spot his friend was killed. This must haunt him and my heart goes out to him, and all who were effected by this mas's behavior.
I am just re-listening to see if I missed anything, so my comment isn't about the evidence. Why is it that at every televised trial there is always someone present (Every Day!) with the whooping cough! It might be a law, as James Gregory would say! I don't know!🤪
Well done guys, well done 👏So glad that justice was served! And how amazing that the jury was SO fast. It leaves no room for doubt either. Before this closing, I was really afraid that it would be hung jury, but after hearing this I was sure it's gonna be guilty. Waters really nailed it. He explained everything from start to finish in a logical and clear way, plugging all the gaps that the defense had tried to create to create uncertainty. Waters was credible and he also proved what he said. Absolutely great work! Yes, and the keywords human nature, common sense, etc. were really, really important. It was important to emphasize to people that they should think. Think about what you know about humanity and life, what makes sense and what doesn't. It was also important that they used the term family annihilator for Alex a little earlier. That's exactly what he is and people understand and believe this case better when the prosecutor referred to that. Many have wondered about the motive etc. and hesitated because of that, but when the prosecutor used this term, the matter became clear, because this is exactly how family annihilators i.e. family murderers work.
@@markark7736 you can still use that term. If you kill most of your family, you are a family annihilator. Another thing people don't always remember is that there isn't always violence before murders.
Technology forensics? OMG. His car convicted him, a long with his phone. That prosecutor nailed his red butt. Put that phone down people if you're doing harm. This closing argument was outstanding. Second by second, step by step. Everybody is lieing on the master lier. Shame; an extraordinary provocation. Amazing phrasing. Best closer ever.
Even if he wasn't found guilty, there's no way he'd practice law ever again. He violated like half the ethical rules they have even before any alleged murder.
@@BoleDaPole You seem ignorant as to how state bar admittance works. It’s not like cops or nurses where you can just move to another area or state and just apply for a job. You have to disclose the details of why you were disbarred in your application to the state bar, and there usually has to be substantial proof of rehabilitation, in addition to a hearing where you will be questioned about all of it. But stealing the amount of money as he did, for as long as he did, and add the drug problem - I guarantee he wouldn’t have been allowed to practice in ANY state again.
Have they ever once re overed a single pill out of his supposed bulging pocket full of pills or anywhere else? I believe he used the "addiction " ruse as another distraction for his crimes. I would have liked to see the state dig in a little more on that angle.
@@e.abrahamovich8981 motive was the weakest part of the prosecution imo. Also, state didn't need to prove motive to convict for murder. No sure it was the right choice to even delve into motive at all. Aside from being the weakest part of the State's case, it provided a ground for appeal. Murdaugh will appeal on the grounds that the financial motive evidence was improper and prejudicial. He shouldn't win, but he definitely will appeal. Appellate court may find the info was improper but not prejudicial and uphold the trial court's verdict. my 2 cents + speculation.
@@ronaldtoran4332 The financial evidence may appear prejudicial, but it WAS the motive in my opinion. It should not be extracted from the case for that reason.
😆 Isn’t that right! 🤯 I swear, every court case has a chronic cougher! Pass out some damned water bottles! Now I’m not going to be able to unhear it! 🤣
Extremely sad, that people will annihilate their family before admitting their lies.
He tried to get Buster to go out there to hunt and he said oh heck no
He never admitted anything. He admitted when he was outed. Big diff!
@@karenl1180 wow, Buster too!

Wasn’t Paul responsible for killing that young lady Mallory?

The world hasn't changed. Like stuff like this didn't happen before...
God’s son was murdered.
He’s far from the first family annihliator unfortunately
sadly it happens, unfortunately, this was not the first time and won't be the last. 😪
@@dudley5658 Sorry about your godson 😢
The 🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨 and his team did it!!!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you to the Jury!
The more money you have the more you need. He couldn't cope with a huge amount of money which most of us would never see 😕 He was so guilty, you can see from when he was sitting in the Police car. The officers with him knew from his body language that it wasn't right.
Devastating closing argument.
Imagine our overdraft bein 600k n gettin a 5$ charge ... send him down for that
What could he possibly spend all that money on?
Was he being blackmailed or something?
He was robbing Peter to pay Paul. I guarantee he has no money hidden.
Mr Meadors is on no sleep he keeps yawning and rubbing his face while listening. What a trooper! They both did such an incredible job and now they can rest. Thank you, prosecutors!!
2:46:25 look at my mans right there, what is he even doing? Then he steps up for the prosecution closing rebuttal and delivers a railroad tie sized nail in AM’s coffin like a titan.
Great job Creighton Waters. God bless Maggie and Paul
I compare this closing to the Amber heard case, if you think Camille Vasquez was extraordinary, I believe Creighton Waters was absolute next level. The way he recites events and literally everything considering the complexity of it all was just phenomenal.
Yes, Mr. Waters was good, but Juan Martinez!!!!!!!!! Untouchable!
Camille Vasquez extraordinary 😂? No way. She cannot even begin to hold a candle to Creighton Waters. The depth of this investigation, his command of the facts, his storytelling ability, and his legal mind are all amazing.
@@foots-qt4pk that’s exactly who I was thinking about . Juan’s closing made you feel like you were there .
AM watches his life go down the pan. 2:11:06
I wonder if this was the moment he realised he’d have to sell those garish red shoes for commissary? 🤔
Justice has been served for Maggie 🤍🕊️ & Paul 🤍🕊️ Now we need justice for his all other crimes too. 🙏
I feel so bad for Paul's friend who was having the phone conversation has Paul's father was coming to kill him. That young man was waiting for that video and now knows why it didn't come, plus it also meant he had to at some point go and retrieve the dog, which is the exact spot his friend was killed. This must haunt him and my heart goes out to him, and all who were effected by this mas's behavior.
Had it not been for that video Alex would have gotten away with murdering him and his mother.. very troubling case like the judge said
I BELIEVE ALEX WOULD HAVE KILLED RORO/ ROGEN GIBSON IF HE HAD RESPONDED TO HIS CALLS. JS
@@lyndacrossman4101 imo Roro was supposed to be the patsy that night.
He killed his son so he wouldn’t have to pay out the impending civil suit against them
Even if Paul wasn’t found guilty, which could have happened, Alex’s financial history would have been exposed, as it was during this trial.
I am just re-listening to see if I missed anything, so my comment isn't about the evidence. Why is it that at every televised trial there is always someone present (Every Day!) with the whooping cough! It might be a law, as James Gregory would say! I don't know!🤪
Raspberry fields thank you !! That's what I thought , always someone coughing hacking, and why doesn't the court make them leave??
Haha same thing in the Darrell Brooks trial. Hella people coughing all throughout.
😅 So true!! Bring some damned mints or a water bottle, people!! 🤯
Well done guys, well done 👏So glad that justice was served! And how amazing that the jury was SO fast. It leaves no room for doubt either. Before this closing, I was really afraid that it would be hung jury, but after hearing this I was sure it's gonna be guilty. Waters really nailed it. He explained everything from start to finish in a logical and clear way, plugging all the gaps that the defense had tried to create to create uncertainty. Waters was credible and he also proved what he said. Absolutely great work! Yes, and the keywords human nature, common sense, etc. were really, really important. It was important to emphasize to people that they should think. Think about what you know about humanity and life, what makes sense and what doesn't. It was also important that they used the term family annihilator for Alex a little earlier. That's exactly what he is and people understand and believe this case better when the prosecutor referred to that. Many have wondered about the motive etc. and hesitated because of that, but when the prosecutor used this term, the matter became clear, because this is exactly how family annihilators i.e. family murderers work.
Zero g HH
@@Oliver-le1us ?
Not an annihilation as there was a son left
@@markark7736 you can still use that term. If you kill most of your family, you are a family annihilator. Another thing people don't always remember is that there isn't always violence before murders.
@@KiKa-rr3mm I like cookies
The crime and the time line is covered so thoroughly with all the data matching, by this prosecutor that there is no doubt he killed them.
Technology forensics? OMG. His car convicted him, a long with his phone. That prosecutor nailed his red butt. Put that phone down people if you're doing harm. This closing argument was outstanding.
Second by second, step by step. Everybody is lieing on the master lier. Shame; an extraordinary provocation. Amazing phrasing. Best closer ever.
The amount of ads on this video is criminal!!!
Money really is the root of all evil.
“The Love of Money is The Root Of All Evil”.
The LOVE of money. Yes
🎯🎯
The love of money.
Greed is the root of evil. Most people trade with money without ever compromising their morals every day
This is one of the best closing arguments i have seen by a team of attourneys.
Accountability,his parents never held him to account. He never held his sons accountable. Entitled arrogance.
What about all the cases he Alex was involved in they need to be investigated
"What is done in the dark always comes to light."
I love when he says "jetted down" 😂
that whole saga on cross examination was epic
Justice was done 👏👏👏👏
Mr. Waters... Huge Respect, Sir.
He really thought he'd get away with the planned cold blooded murders of his wife and son.
What is wrong with people!?!?
One thing for sure.. Alex is not as smart as he always thought that he was!
Brilliant closing arguments. Wish I received that kind of schooling.
Even if he wasn't found guilty, there's no way he'd practice law ever again. He violated like half the ethical rules they have even before any alleged murder.
he could just move to another state like other disbarred lawyers have done for decades if not centuries
@@BoleDaPole Who do you think hasn’t seen his face & would want him to be part of their firm
@@BoleDaPole he admittedly stole 10s of millions, he was going to jail regardless of this trial
You're probably right. Guess I was just playing devils advocate
@@BoleDaPole You seem ignorant as to how state bar admittance works. It’s not like cops or nurses where you can just move to another area or state and just apply for a job. You have to disclose the details of why you were disbarred in your application to the state bar, and there usually has to be substantial proof of rehabilitation, in addition to a hearing where you will be questioned about all of it. But stealing the amount of money as he did, for as long as he did, and add the drug problem - I guarantee he wouldn’t have been allowed to practice in ANY state again.
Still amazed at how poorly he planned all this (thankfully)
He didn't expect to ever be questioned past the first interview. He is used to getting away with everything and nothing being questioned
Shoutout to the lady in the top left asleep at 33 mins lol
Hahahaha she's been asleep way before that
@@kileymorlang4139 shucks,I missed that!!
Shout out to that sheriff sitting right behind Alex in plain clothes during this. I see you big dawg. Don’t let him get away👊
Sheriff? If you are talking about the older guy in the brown jacket and glasses, I thought he testified for the defense.🤷
@@marvalousmarva6190no he did not, he is indeed the sheriff.
The Netflix series of this family is chilling.
I have a question:
With all of his excuse-making about his Oxy addiction, did they ever do a drug taste on him?
Have they ever once re overed a single pill out of his supposed bulging pocket full of pills or anywhere else? I believe he used the "addiction " ruse as another distraction for his crimes. I would have liked to see the state dig in a little more on that angle.
I’ve watched this five times . This was executed PERFECTLY 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾 Que bueno !
I’ve said it through out the trial what a great state attorney excellent presentation he should be a professor of law you teach the right way
Justice Finally has been Served.‼️
Rest In Peace
🥀Maggie &. 🌻Paul.😔
Paul is where he SHOULD be....
I love prosecution closing arguments 👏👏👏
I do too
I like this guy, no bombastic scenes, just facts, meticulously explaining the reason for murders.
They were really good!
@@e.abrahamovich8981 motive was the weakest part of the prosecution imo. Also, state didn't need to prove motive to convict for murder. No sure it was the right choice to even delve into motive at all. Aside from being the weakest part of the State's case, it provided a ground for appeal. Murdaugh will appeal on the grounds that the financial motive evidence was improper and prejudicial. He shouldn't win, but he definitely will appeal. Appellate court may find the info was improper but not prejudicial and uphold the trial court's verdict. my 2 cents + speculation.
@@ronaldtoran4332 The financial evidence may appear prejudicial, but it WAS the motive in my opinion. It should not be extracted from the case for that reason.
They NAILED it!! Well done!!!
In the End, Paul won, he got you dad. He got the last laugh.
That coughing in the background during the entire thing...wow
😆 Isn’t that right! 🤯 I swear, every court case has a chronic cougher! Pass out some damned water bottles! Now I’m not going to be able to unhear it! 🤣
claims 4,5 million the lads only expected 100grand each plus hospital fees but he watched them end up homeless while has that much greedy gross man
AM is setting there writing his closing argument. It's painful to watch Jim. He has no idea what to say
That defense seemed like bumbling idiots to me. I believe they even actually helped the prosecution!
