‘You can convince yourself but have the inability to convince anyone else’. Such a powerful and truthful message from this fantastic Judge.
Loved that comment! That judge is very perceptive and wise. God bless him!
i freaking love this judge , not only the judge teach us wisdom he also sent this bad bad bad bad man behind bars for 2 life sentences and now this bad bad bad man cant hurt naybody else. thanks judge for putting this bad bad bad man up where he belongs. God bless this fearless judge leader
Yes but if you repeat something over and over and over to someone, truth or lie they will end up believing you.
O how do i REQUEST this
OUT COME

PLEASE ALLOW AMERICA 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 TO WAIT
#NO MORE
He stole from the poor, the disabled, the orphaned and murdered his family to get out from those embezzlement charges. What a fiend. And what's creepy he fooled his friends, partners and supposedly his family. Now I wonder about the housekeeper's death. That's being reinvestigated too.
Don't forget Stephen Smith's death too. Seemed fishy that his attorney brother offered to handle the Smith case for free, yet he only asked about Stephen's electronic devices. Until now, this family has always been able to dodge accountability and face any consequences.
I don’t understand his logic or motive for the murder how it would hinder the investigation… i mean sure it worked but what was he expecting?
@@amandacarullo8638 diversion of the spotlight that will b focused on him
@@amandacarullo8638
Tl;dr - thought he would get away with it.
Arrogant. Desperate. Drugs are a helkyva drug.
Or, Appearances are everything. If you watch the Netflix doc you will learn how important appearances are.
I believe that he was expecting that he was so experienced and intelligent and had laid the groundwork to frame up a whole classification of suspects (those angry about the boat crash) that he thought he would get away with it and 1) inherit everything coming to his family from his dad's death; 2) receive insurance money (it worked with the poor nanny); 3) be seen as sympathetic and reap rewards from that; 4) get his wife and son off of his back about "always working" and doing drugs and blowing their money (or prevent them from ever knowing about the embezzlement and other stuff); and lastly, 5) maybe could KEEP doing drugs in private? Maybe.
Arrogance (desperation + drugs) = murder your family
@@amandacarullo8638 His wife had property both in her name and jointly, he was a correspondent in his son's boat accident case for obstruction in trying to hinder that case, he was on drugs and his wife had the younger boy Paul telling her Dad was back on the pills, his Dad who had bailed him out of financial trouble in the past was dying and in his muddled mind the deaths of his wife and boy would make all his legal and financial problems go away plus he was known to be paranoid and addicts blame others for their problems. And he was a fixer and came from a privileged family for 100 years and he counted on that too. I have family right across the Savannah River from this area and like the Murdaughs they are an old Southern family with a past involvment in local politics and it brings power and respect and deference. It's a pecking order in these small counties. Think English villages where there are " squires" and peasants. Lol!
I love how disgusted the officer behind him is. He’s feeling what we all are.
❤
I was fascinated by that deputy. He attended the trial in street clothes, but at the sentencing he was wearing his deputy uniform. If the hash marks on his sleeve equal 3 years of service each (as in the military), he had ten of them, or 30 years of service. He got the job (perhaps honor) of being the closest deputy to AM. I don't know anything about being a deputy, but it seems to me that he is laser focused on the back of AM's head, if it moves, he pounces.
I think he is inappropriate, he should not share his feelings so obviously
Me too‼️‼️‼️
@@coolcreamykiwi I think you’re a crybaby! Officers are also human and are completely entitled to express their emotions!
Judge is SUCH A GENTLEMAN, his honesty and kindness SHINES through him, he has had his own grief, God God bless him 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Absolutely agree,
Why are you praising a dirty Nazi? Because you are a Nazi yourself? Maybe prove this man guilty first! Let's say look for DNA or fingerprints! Of course, even that would not be 100%... However, this man was convicted without any direct physical evidence. This is the definition of a dictatorship.
God bless this Judge, in Jesus’ name.
Where was your god when the .murder and fraud was happening?
The sheriff sitting behind him is over here like … “give me 5 min with this jack ass…” lol 😂
This judge has a calming presence. The difference between him and the convicted is night and day…
Could not have a had a better judge preside over such a horrific case of double murder of family members. Thank you for your integrity & wisdom!
And no ego
The poor guy has to handle a lot of cases in that small area. I think he said he's presided over the financial chicanery too.
The police didn't secure the crime seane they had a biese jurey and should have had a drug expert in the court room
@@janetprice85 all right first you should not feel bad for him, especially when you kill your own family and you act like you love them just to save your own life going to prison, and he almost won without even killing his family and nobody knowing he’s lucky his attorney didn’t let that much evidence or he would be out killing more people
I watched the whole thing . I dont see how they have proven him guilty of the murders without a murder weapon .
I just want Morgan Freeman to play the judge when the movie comes out 😂
That would be perfect casting, was telling my wife that there is something about this Judge that just draws you in. You can tell he is a genuinely a good man.
@@Rottiezucco1 I agree 100% . You don’t find many people like him in the judicial system.
And Ronald McDonald as Alex.
@@ricksuter9281 😂 That’s a fact!!!!!!
@Brandy G. 😂😂🤣
This judge is really inspiring. What a great man
There are no words to describe how much I like this judge. Every kid should have a mentor like him.
You mean a simple Nazi?
I don't think I have observed a more careful application of the law.
Ditto. Somach,that I dotted my screeen
The deputy nodding his head in the back row is a legend❤️
He's being completely unprofessional, bobbing his head away like he can't control himself. It doesn't matter how he personally feels. It's not his job to distract w/what he thinks about anything.
@@isabellind1292lmao you are saying this on every comment about the guy. Imagine being this bored, miserable, and trashy 😂
@@damondriver6363 Imagine you're so bored & miserable & trashy you stalk people down! GROSS! Mind your own business! CREEPY!
@@isabellind1292 I would imagine this deputy has a wife that he loves, a son that he adores. Even if he only had a best friend dog he couldn't wait to get home to. Does not matter. He does have a right to show vague satisfaction at the obvious verdict. This man is a monster in every aspect of his life, every single thing in his life he defamed, stole from, murdered and deliberately destroyed. His birth was a virus to the world.
@@damondriver6363 Imagine all you do is stalk me and then go and admit it! Stop stalking me! I'll say what I damn well like, whenever I damn well like!
The BEST JUDGE I have EVER SEEN
3:14 the cop on the right is all of us lol
What a character he was 👏👏👏
I was listening seriousness until you pointed this out. Got a good laugh 😂😂
Yes 👏🏼 you should see how he handcuffed AM yesterday.
Thank you officer 🙏🏼
That deputy nodding behind this monster while the prosecutor spoke says it all.
Exactly!!!
Honestly, while moving him in and out of the courtroom I wouldn’t be surprised if he witnessed him act exactly like how he truly was
He killed his own Son and the Mother !!
@@mellow7me he didn’t kill his mother 🤷🏻♂️
I noticed that. Those deputies were likely at the crime scene too because it's such a small county. My paternal Grandfather was a Deputy Sheriff and Court Baitliff in Missouri.
I could listen to this judge all day
long.
Judge Newman is an absolute treasure. What a contrast between Newman and Murdaugh. Two men of law. One exemplary. One despicable.
Look at him he can't understand why he's going to prison.
@@cyankirkpatrick5194 the term narcissist gets thrown around a lot, but AM is the perfect example of one.
@@YcatsMartinez So I've been told, I will agree on that, don't forget Meghan Markle as well, oh I was raised by one, she was the ultimate narcissist refusing to admit she was wrong especially when she was in which was very often she'd rather grit her dentures and keep her fist's clenched than admit she was wrong or surrender power, now that is a narcissist.
I call that “Selfish and Mean As Hell”
Such a perfect statement. This judge lost his own son in January but continued to run this trial with integrity and fairness
Judge Newman, what an amazing man. South Carolina is very lucky 🙏
I didn’t see any emotions from the older son either. It’s weird
No emotions from both of them ! Wow😮
The family knew what was coming. Hardly weird.
denial
One of the MOST respectful, intelligent beyond... judges I have had the privilege and pleasure of watching in his most prestigious position of power!!!! YOU sir are what Law is about. Thank you for your service.
This man was consistent in ALL rulings, despite the circus the defense was willing to create.
I love watching the security guy sitting there just shaking his head in agreement
This monster didn't even say look at, much less say he was sorry to his oldest son Buster as he left the courtroom. What a disgrace. And to Judge Newman, you are a wise man. You showed such integrity and grace in the courtroom. I wish every judge was a person of honor as you are.
Buster is his father's son.....
Judge Newman Sir, you are truly one of the finest.
I Just have two words to say to the Judge and Jury: THANK YOU!!!
This was heartbreaking. How hard must it be for this judge to talk to this man who killed his son, when the judge himself had lost his son not long ago.
Much respect for his professionalism and integrity.
Judge Newman, I have much respect for you sir. Such an excellent and fair judge you are. I’m certainly sure how hard and troubling this has been for you. God Bless you🕊
Professionals like this judge don’t expect or want people to thank him for performing his duties and responsibilities in his profession and as respected members of society.
He lost his son only months ago, amazing he came back to work for such a crucial case. What an absolute gentleman. Dr Kinsey is also another hero for this trial.
Justice done.
Ditto.
Judge Newman is amazing & a good & wise man! I’m a fan.
I have a high respect for Judge Clifton Newman because he came forth as a man of virtue and valor .
What do you mean 'a man of virtual'? Because he let the cameras in to film?
Da fuq is virtual?
I've never seen such a biased judge before.....not meaning if RM was found guilty or not. It was almost shocking...
@@StrivingTowardsWhatIsAhead 😅think he meant “virtue”
Agree but disagree on some of his rulings!!!He seems to favor the State. Alex certainly was proven guilty of stealing money but not murders. If I am correct then the murders are out there. The judge was not bothered by the State lying, manufacturing info, etc.
Both the DA Creighton Waters, and Honorable Judge Newman, deserve praise.
"But within your own soul you'll have to deal with that"
So profound
He will be in his mind he is not guilty of anything ! 😮
Alex is like the little boy who cried wolf, he’s lied so much that he’ll never be believed if he ever does tell the truth
Exactly what i was thinking
This. So true.
But he won’t tell the truth that’s the thing. He can’t.
If he ever tells the truth it would certainly be an accident of something he really didn't mean to say.
@@maxxpopp2373 like "I did them so bad", "what a tangled web we weave.."
It's like truth sneaking out.
What an honorable way the judge spoke and handed down the sentence 👏
This judge is the epitome of America…thank you for your temperament, control, and legislative leadership.
I wish that were true. This judge is an anomaly in the US.
@@dougiesherwin9591 You are correct. And lucid.
There are many great judges in the US. If you’re familiar with many cases, you’d see there are lots of judges that execute similar rationalities and respect for the law. Unfortunately they’re clouded by the many that are corrupt…..
He’s what’s missing in this country. We went from a president like him, to a president like Alex.
The judge is the best but the country no longer is. It is going to take at least 50 years to get the country back to where it was three years ago.
That judge is an incredibly thoughtful and considerate human. I so respected all of his comments.
Truly a tragedy. All of it.
I can sit in the courtroom and listen to the Judge allllll dayyyyy !!!! What a wisdom ❤
What a judge! All America should be proud of having such a person in the justice system. No prejudice, no lack of kindness, no outburst... Just a jewel of a man.
Alex is a Trump supporter
He should have got off
@@Bigdogspyke Alex was a Democrat. He gave money to Democrats running for office. Oh, you Democrats are sad. TDS is a fatal disease.
@@janetprice85 that is not True. The family has been prominent republicans for a century
@@Bigdogspyke Alex was a privileged white man and todays society is coming after them. We care not one iota if he killed his wife or not we are Proud we took down one of the privileged and even more proud that we used a person of color to do it.
@@adelaidemarie do you support Trump?
Such a good speech from the Judge.
Such a wise man who’s shown great humility, respect, and honor with his handling of everyone/everything to do with this case! He definitely gained my respect, America needs more like him in positions of power/leadership!
His lack of emotion and remorse is chilling
We need more judges like Judge Newman, especially on the Supreme Court.
*Amen*
Facts
Hear hear!
Amen to that
Even the sheriff behind murdaugh was nodding his head, agreeing with the judge 👨🏾⚖️ sad situation..
Which was unprofessional.
@@blueberrycobbler I disagree. it is human. Not unprofessional in my view.
well he is convicted now. So it is normal.
I had to rewatch that part a few times. It was a natural, human response. This family was very well-known in this community and I’m sure this sheriff’s deputy knew Maggie and Paul, in some capacity, which would explain his nodding response. So sad.
He shouldn't have done that, but you cannot blame him.
I’ve watched this sentencing 5 times in awe. It’s fascinating how a judge can punish someone in a most severe way, yet in a respectful and fatherly way. That you almost feel sorry for Alex.
I just can’t get over how awesome this judge is. Dignified sentencing for a horrible, horrible crime.
I think I have you beat!!! I’m still watching just about everything over and over again!!! Truly amazing!!! God Bless You My Friend!!!
Lol, I'm back here in February 24 watching this again.
God bless you both.
this judge was just amazing. How hard it must have been for him to deliver the things he said after working in court with Alex for so many years. I like the fact that he talked about "the other person that can live in an addictive person". in some ways that gave me knowledge in understanding the un-understandable
Both family suvivors and victims have handled this ordeal with dignity and honor. So sorry for Maggie's parents and siblings.
But no victim impact statements???
@@karenwhite4141 I couldn't believe that !!! Her life meant so little to the one's who (supposedly) loved her OR her son, Paul. 😭😭
I just learned that Maggie’s father has had a stroke. I’m sure the stress of losing his daughter and grandson had something to do with it. Prayers for Maggie’s family.
@@_aesthete_ Why on earth does not wanting to cry, be emotional and provide soundbites for the world media mean they didn't mean a lot to their loved ones? Your brain is working in some interesting (insane) ways.
This didn’t feel like a victory. Justice was served but they’re still gone, it’s heartbreaking. Nothing more needs to be said. I just hope they all eventually heal from this.
I have the highest respect for the Judge.
Murdaugh's sister Lynn should be ashamed of herself. The evidence is clear, yet she shakes her head at the Judge. I question Lynn's integrity as well. Dead sister-n-law, and nephew. Deny, deny. Sickening.
Whole family, including the dead ones are vermin...she wasn't a nice woman
The bailiff nodding along as the prosecutor spoke, he looked more than happy to take AM back to his cell
Thank you for clarifying who that man was. I have wondered for the entire trial up until yesterday who that man was because he was always in a jacket and tie, sitting directly behind AM like a rock showing no emotion. It wasn’t until yesterday when he wore a sheriff’s (or whatever that is) uniform that I understood he was from law enforcement of some kind.
It’s peculiar to me he turned out to be the bailiff because at one point about 3-4 weeks ago my computer screen would not show the bailiff’s face except with a gray face. No eyes, nose, mouth, anything. It was the strangest thing I’d ever seen. Imagine the portrayals of the grim ripper, just a blank gray blob on top of his shoulders. I was so taken aback by it that I even showed it to my husband. Everyone around him had clear features, but he had none. Just a blank, gray head. It was disturbing to say the least. It’s interesting he is now full of emotive responses to the judge about AM’s actions. Perhaps he is a form of the grim reaper taking AM to the next place. All I know is that it was disturbing to me what my screen showed that day and I guess I am still a little bit perplexed by it.
This is one handsome judge with much class..
@@annescott368 Why give the world his name? Please delete. Respect his privacy.
I have immeasurable respect for Judge Newman. He leads his courtroom with decorum, calmness, and great wisdom. May he continue to be blessed with a healthy and fulfilling life.
Amen
And Judge Newman lost his son to blood clots shortly before this trial started. I admire Judge Newman also. I wish he would told Alex how much he grieves the loss of his son but Judge Newman is too dignified to say that. I learned that Maggie’s father has had a stroke recently. Prayers for him and the family. 🙏✝️
@@bbe3034 young person died of blood clots huh…gee wonder how that happened
I don’t
Pfftt
This Judge will undoubtedly go down in history as one of the kindest, most thoughtful, patient, of all time.
Not many can fit into that type of character, but this man certainly does. His family has a gem for a father, husband, son, whatever capacity it may be, they are fortunate.
Totally agree!
It’s amazing that the prosecutor, had a heart not to ask for the death penalty, but his grandfather an great grandfather sent many people to death row
The state did not seek the death penalty - so he went with what was requested by the state.
Do you think he shouldn't have gotten the death penalty?
@@chrisbohanon403 Honestly no, because it just seems wrong to take another life, and of course the bitter irony that you'll suffer longer for the rest of your natural life instead of having an easy way out.
Maybe I’m wrong but I’m under the impression that keeping someone on death row for sometimes 20+ years in prison is more expensive ?
Alex himself has prosecuted people who then received the death penalty.
I dislike the death penalty, but if anyone ever deserved it, it’s this man. His privilege alone saved him, but as Osamacare pointed out, he’ll suffer more being incarcerated like the maggot he is.
Watching here from the UK, much respect to this Judge and your judicial system. Here in the UK we are sadly too soft. 😔
As we are here in Australia.
Yep! I have seen that! Someone takes another life, and after a few years in jail they can continue to live the rest of their lives?? You guys are cheating the victims. A life should be in exchange for another life!
Don’t let this highly publicized case fool you…Our judicial system is corrupt too
@@RE-pn5yq Once upon a time we sent our criminals to Australia, maybe we should start that again, and force them to watch Home and Away 24hrs a day.
Yes, SHARIA LAW, indeed, the Downfall of Britain, & Western ways of life, next it will be public whippings, stoning, Beheadings, Britain, you've imposed this into your society.
This judge is absolutely great!!!
Alec dressed in prison clothing as he should bring convicted of double homicide. Justice for Paul and Maggie.
You can tell that Judge Newman had the upmost respect for the Murdough family and it was heartbreaking for him to hand down this sentence.
Murdough! It's amazing how changing the "a" to an "o" shows how greedy and money-loving they are.
@@lawrencenodarse3090 lol I didn’t do it on purpose but yea I agree. It’s like murder and money wrapped up in 1 word.
He convicted someone without evidence. What kind of physical evidence was it?
@@vilagistene2939 he didn’t convict him. A jury convicted him. He just handed out the sentence.
@@ronaldbeasley7384 Yes, but how sick is this jury thing in the 21st century? Do they put a bunch of civilians in a court to make a decision instead of lawyers? This is absolutely insane. I'm lucky to live in Europe.
The prosecutor was brilliant.
The judge is seriously a credit to the justice system...
A judge that deserves to be on the Supreme Court.
@Parisa9 Resident. Except that the supreme court does not have the respect it once had. But there are other very high courts.
Absolutely
Yes he does! 👍
Why?
@@mojo6098 I live in the area and followed the trial closely. He gave both sides plenty of opportunity to state their cases, he expressed himself calmly. He operates with an old school fairness that is lost in today's world. I was able to attend the trial live for a full day as well. He led with knowledge over intimidation. It was humbling to watch.
This judge is what every judge should be required to study under. Very impressed with how he literally handled everything in this trial.
I am a former Court Reporter, Clerk in courts in Canada and this is one of the best judgments I have heard. Judge Newman is wise and devoted to his profession. Alex Murdaugh displays the signs of being psychopathic. This is something that can, to put it simply, run in families. His son, Buster, could have learnt a lot from Judge Newman's words but he appeared with an expression similar to his father and perhaps he wasn't listening. I have read that Judge Newman lost his son in January of this year and my sincere condolences to him and for his selfless act in overseeing this very significant trial. This is southern justice at its best.
Oh wow! That's so sad. January! Wow
Omg sooo sad. I did not know that!
I heard he had lost a son but didn’t realize it was so recently. I can imagine that while listening to this case the judge may have thought “I’d give anything to have my son back and this man killed his son in cold blood” it’s chilling to even think about
I think someone needs to get Buster some help because I think he is definitely his father’s son!!
I hope Buster will get professional help. I do not know Buster personally, however I hoped he listened to Judge Newman's powerful words..
Love how the SHERIFF DEPUTY seated behind murduagh keeps nodding his head while the Prosecutor is speaks!!
@@annescott368 do you have something against that man because you sure keep spreading his name around I see you on every comment that’s about him. What’s your deal? What do you do do you he looks like an honest sheriff. Thanks for the information though.
@@1pissedoffamerican no, actually the opposite. He did a fine job and I thought people ought to know his name. Why do people ALWAYS think the worst of other people? So sad. 🥲 He has been mentioned on several podcasts.
@@annescott368 Delete posts with his name. Respect his right to privacy.
@@mikeJohnson-ie2md it’s public record. He has been mentioned on several podcasts. He should be proud of his service. He was featured on the news every day. You are ridiculous. I have no ill intent.
@@annescott368 He never asked for his name to be published. Just because a podcast violated his right to keep his name private, doesn't mean you should too.
Wow this judge is one of the most profound speakers.
Judge Newman is by far the most poised and eloquently spoken judge I've seen. He spoken from the heart and soul. Almost gave me some kind of hope in humanity.
Good Job, job well done!
Watching Buster throughout this trial & during this sentencing is chilling. He looks as beady eyed & heartless as his father. Scary
Yes.
I was going to write the same comment. This guy lost his mother and brother, now his father is going to prison forever and look at his reaction??? He looks like someone bored to wait in line for his coffee
I agree! He has the same cold unfeeling eyes like da da. .. ..Brooklyn needs to run 4 her life!! 😮
@@LilaBradley-ef5tm I was going to say the same thing ! His eyes are so dark like his heart! 🖤
Nah I don’t think that at all, I just think he was really puzzled and paused by his father actually killing his mom and brother. His mind just fucked up its like he was still trying to process that.
Maggie killed her house keeper... Paul killed a classmate, driving a boat while drunk... Buster killed a classmate... and Alex killed his wife and youngest son
this family is pure evil !
The first serial killer family and then, in the end, they turned on each other.
Well, all the family is rest🎉 resting now !
That Sherrif’s Deputy with the beard who’s been sat behind AM for the trial in civilian clothes but yesterday and today wore uniform…..when he nodded and looked at AM when Mr Waters was describing the staring….ooooof, that was awesome.
Just noticed he has a metal star on his chest as opposed to an embroidered one…I’m guessing that means he’s a Sherrif? I’m not from the USA and here in Scotland we have one agency….Police Scotland and the whole different types of US law enforcement is still not properly clear to me. So, apologies for calling him a Deputy if he is indeed a Sherrif. He certainly looks like a Sherrif!
Yes, I noticed that affirmation too...about AM's glares. Tells you all you need to know about who AM is beneath the "Aw, shucks m'am" facade.
@@annescott368 Do you have an agenda?
@@mikeJohnson-ie2md have no idea what you are referring to.
@@annescott368 Not everyone wants to be famous.
This judge the most fair and detailed reasonable thorough respectful man I’ve ever watched ..
One of, if not, the best judge I have ever seen in my life. So much respect for this judge. Well done, Your Honor.
Yep. Amazing speech, and an amazing human. Amazingly done. Hugs from bohemian forest
Judge was an iron fist in a velvet glove. Suited well to the job
Beautifully said 👌
Great analogy!!!
How did he not cry hearing all the things he’s done? Crazy he shows no remorse. Sad for all the people he hurt.
I don't think AM has a real tear in his body. Enough said.
It’s crazy he only cried on the stand when he was trying to sway the jury
Yes, that struck me also. Poker face, no heart! His son shows no feelings also!
He is sad - for himself!
A lot of people don’t show emotion. I bet his son is so fucking exhausted and is troubled by the inner conflict wondering if his dad did it or not.
Seeing his other son, who is the spitting image of him, behind him during sentencing was chilling.
Busters next.
To me is the most embarrassing moments of his life how could he embarrassed his family like that. I would have had to confess my sins right on the witness stand. U kno u honor im sick and tired of lying. I wouldn't of wanted the jurors to sit and hear any more of my bull crap.
@@msdecemberloveangel8236 it sounds like you would never need to confess, as you are already a decent human being. ❤️ 😊 🌿
Buster knows 😮 something 😎
@@LadyOaksNZ
Buster's alleged kill count as the same as the fathers....
Man, this is beyond sad!!! How could anyone do this to a wife who loved him and a son who looked up to him. I feel sure one of them knew what was happening. Both of them may have known. Makes me sick.
Paul looked up to him because his dad got away with so much so he wanted to be just like him and get away with everything…
Because...it's an entitled piece of SCUM! Been ruining people's lives since its been able to.
That’s what you think. You weren’t there and u don’t known
did you see how he looks? one of the ugliest psychopats ever. Just look into him ugly he is and evil eyed. FUJ
Check the history of that race of people and you will find many of them that have killed mama daddy kids and all for money and less
The surviving son is in the background as stoic as a statue…..creepy
“The person standing before me is not the one who committed the crime, though it’s the same individual “
Wished all judges were respectful, professional and respected as this one, as a former police officer and correctional officer I gave up on are system and what it stood for so I got out of it all but seeing this man, father, grandfather husband and judge all in one man Mr Newman gives me hope back in the system of justice, thank you
He even gave him two chances at redemption by saying "sorry". But he was still trying to con people.
@@janetprice85 once a liar, always a liar unless you ask God to forgive you and take that evil away from you and apparently Alex has not done that before this sentencing. These type of people that’s all they know is to lie to get through life.
As a former Deputy Clerk in Superior Court- this Judge is absolutely amazing! Wish more had this kindness,such fairness & a good soul. He just wasn’t hearing the case - he was listening! Much respect!
Prayers for the family 💔🙏🏻
I can't help how I feel, but John Marvin just sends me up a pole. Randy, john, and Alex always start "crying", as soon as something doesn't go their way...
Aughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
and when they want "PITY"
Judge Newman is a remarkable judge. I was impressed by the specific wording of the sentencing of Mr Murdaugh for the murder of his son. Judge Newman added ‘whom you probably loved so much’ to this particular sentence. It impresses that this murder was not only cruel but heartless.
An eloquent statement by the judge, who appears to be a very wise man.
"I would never do anything to hurt my son or wife" as he's been abusing opioids, lying, and stealing from friends and the firm for 20 years... WHAT do you call that? The judge reminds me of Ben Carson. I wish all judges (and doctors) were so upright, competent, discerning, wise, gentle, and ethical.
What an judge! His words spoke directly to my heart. “Maybe it wasn’t you, maybe it was the monster in you.” We all hold angels and monsters inside ourselves. And we live our lives according to our choices, becoming one or the other in challenging situations on our life paths.
To my dying day, as a father I can never understand how a person could kill their own kids.
He has no soul
Money is evil
I'm guessing you don't have any redheads
Yes it is my mom breath money her life was all about money she drove my dad crazy he could not give her more and more.
Unfortunately they do it all the time. Statistically, we’re more likely to be killed or attacked by our friends and family… which is why they’re always the first suspects. Idk why people do what they do, and it’s really a lost cause trying to figure it out. Evil is tricky like that, you can’t quite understand it only know that people are capable of it even the people closest to you.
I can't explain how much I adore this judge! What a composed, honorable man! ...this is such a horrible tragedy! Praying for all of the innocent people involved in this evil plot.
Definitely. And Judge Newman lost his son to blood clots that caused his death shortly before this trial started. Judge Newman has so much wisdom. I truly admire him. And Maggie’s father has had a stroke recently. Alex caused so much destruction. As I reflect on my life, I’ve always wanted to be a blessing to those I’ve met along the way and especially now, as I have 5 very young precious grandchildren. I pray they remember me as a loving person. Alex has caused huge ripples of pain like a powerful ocean. Maggie’s family, Ms. Satterfield’s sons, the lawyers who trusted him, he destroyed the law firm that had been together for many years. Attorney Ronnie Crosby gave a great testimony. And all his clients who were extremely injured in accidents that they will never recover from, he stole millions from them. One young man who was his client was a quadriplegic, that poor young man could not even breath on his own and would require complete care 24 hours a day. And Alex stole millions from him. A few days later after Alex received those millions, the young man’s breathing machine was mysteriously turned off and he died. I will always wonder if Alex did it or paid someone to do it?! Alex is evil and I’m so glad he was found guilty!!
15:35..."when the judge said to Alex that "within your own soul, you'll have too deal with that", ( meaning deal with the truth that he murdered his own wife and son), John Marvin shook his head up and down in a "yes" gesture agreeing with the judge. What was "REALLY" surprising was that when John Marvin was on the stand, he said his brother Alex was "NOT" the murderer. So right there John Marvin more or less admitted to the world that he himself was a "Liar", and he "KNEW" his brother was the murderer!!! Not to mention "all" the other shady dealings he's involved in, in these murders and beyond!!!
All I can say is, Stay Tuned!
I love love this precious judge
His team let him take the stand talk his way to prison for Life two terms. prosecutor, judge were Rock Stars ❤❤
The guard behind Alex shows more emotion about Maggie and Paul than Alex himself.
😢 true 👍
This Judge is exceptional. A true professional and absolute gentleman. So much power in his hands yet he showed poise, grace, kindness. What an excellent judge and man he is!
Still, I need an explanation as to how and why the sentencing "sought" is a topic or procedure enforced during (or before) a trial? That leaves a judge with hands tied. I don't get that part... 🤔
As a father of two teenage sons, it’s very hard to imagine killing your own child especially a son who is also your buddy. Strange things happen in life.
He wasn’t his buddy he loved buster.
That is the condition of not having a conscience. People, including 'loved ones', are expendable, when they get in the way or have out-lived their usefulness.
Now, what you wrote is legitimate, but it is an emotional argument and it should not be used to judge whether he is guilty or not guilty. The fact that there is no physical evidence of the murder, however, makes it clear that he would not have been convicted of a murder in a state of law. We don't know if he did it, but precisely because it would be unlikely for his own child. Of course, we never know what he is capable of, but in the absence of real evidence, we cannot know what happened to his family.
Pawpaw lmao the fathers who actually love their kids you are deserved the name dad...not this man
@@vilagistene2939 he killed them u big dummy lies lies lies life in prison
This Judge is amazing. He is what a Judge should be. I can’t even count the number of times that I was nodding my head in agreement with what he was saying or saying “Yes!” Out loud… I think that the reason we were all so captivated by this case was not only due to the horrific nature of the case, but also just realizing how many people this man affected by his own selfishness. It’s astonishing that he ever slept at night … I wouldn’t even be worried about the prison sentence if I were him~ I would be worried about what comes on the day he truly has to answer for what he has done…
Amen 🙏🏻
The officer behind Alex 3:12
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This judge has shown so much valor and wisdom …
I was waiting for him to yell out, " I DID IT"
BEST judge EVER! He delivered that reprimand and admonishment like POETRY! Soooooo EPIC! Poor Mags, Paw-Paw and alllllllll the other victims of this stone-cold, monster! They didn’t deserve what he did to them! BUH 👋🏻 MURDERERdaugh! Oh what a tangled web you’ve woven! Now, you’re trapped in it! 🕷️ 🕸️ For the rest of your NATURAL LIFE! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
He even gave him the last chance to admit to his mistake but he still lied.
Well said ❤
@@nene1964 You don’t understand the state provided no physical evidence.They are lining up for a appeal that he has a good chance to win.No physical evidence.
Justice for Maggie and Paul! Seriously though can you imagine how frantic and busy he was on the night of June 7, 2021! What an evil human being
A movie that follows Alex as this murder was committed would be interesting.
I wonder what he did with the guns. Did they find the clothes he wore when he was fixing the tree?
@@ZPD-doo-DAHno they didn’t
@@ZPD-doo-DAH guns probably in the Savannah River🌊
@@sookie4195 most likely will happen.
I love the judge. So prestigious and such a powerful well spoken man. To be able to compose yourself in the presence of such evil says a lot about fortitude.
Judge...the word is "particularly", not "patically"!!!

Tk u for the full line and the author credit.
Still lying and profiling with zero conscience whatsoever.
I imagine it’s just his attempt to shield himself from public contempt. He knows no one believes him, and he knows he’s lying, but just being able to say “I’m innocent” I think provides him that temporary bubble to endure the heat of the moment.
Pathological narcissist in the throes of self-delusion.
he is an evil beyond anything I could ever imagine… he his utterly and completely despicable… despicable on soo many levels… I am on board with the sentencing this Judge handed down..
His facial expression shows he’s in complete shock and denial. Almost feel sorry for him. Almost.
@TerminalLance you’re 100 percent valid in your own opinion…but I’m wondering why you question him when he admitted to lying for so long throughout the investigation as to his presence at Moselle the night for he murders AND his lying on the stand under oath?? You believe him despite those documented lies, what is compelling about that?
This judge is unbeilable a person like him makes me be so proud to be American we need more judges, law officers, teachers,.....like him May GOD BLESS him and his family and I am sorry for all the family members 🤕❤️🩹🌹😱💔🙏❤️🖤😩
It's so SAD to see a human being can stoop so low and cause so much PAIN AND SUFFERING to people he knew and family, baffled he threw his wife's life his Son's life and his own life away AWFUL AWFUL what greed will do to a Man, plus his remaining Son left with NONE of his own family left, whole situation is SAD.
The betrayal he gave his son and wife is scary and extremely evil
I agree. It’s very scary.
YES!!!!
That got me. He killed his boy. That's just depraved. I never believed he was guilty at first until the phone video where he was at the kennels. And by using two guns meant it had to be planned. I bet his boy's and wife's spirits do haunt him every night.
Judge Newman is without a doubt the best judge I’ve ever seen. Proud to be a SC resident.
The sheriff bobbing his head in agreement 🤣
Well pal. This is justice for all of the other people that he really screwed over along with his wife and son. Terrible man terrible human being.
The county officer nodding away behind for every reprimand the judge gives. Legend
This whole case is so weird. It’s so senseless and unexpected. This guy had everything in his life he could want. He ruined his life and his family’s life. The Netflix documentary was very enlightening.
Know one knows for sure if he's guilty
Did they ever even find the murder weapons??. Thats a big thing not to have and hand down a conviction and double life sentence
@@716_sam1 I think that was a big fact in his conviction. The bullets came from the family guns. If it was someone else, why would they take the guns? And how did they know that Maggie and Paul both would be there in that time frame? And that guns would be there for them to you? And why lie about being at the kennel? What purpose would that serve?🙏🏻
I love this judge!!!~!!~
the look on the face of the police officer sitting behind him nodding his head - like he was staring at someone who he knew was pure evil.....!
Huge congratulations to Judge Newman who handled this difficult case with calmness and showed his thoughtfulness throughout. He explains everything so very well.
