On a personal note he is capable of swindling vulnerable clients out of the $ they need to SURVIVE. Being a cold blooded killer isnt much if a stretch. And that sing song statement he makes when he doesnt want to answer. It makes me crazy!

Maggie moved to murdaugh Beach home n Alex moved to murdaugh commercial hunting fishing 1700 acres weekend home that has a full time caretaker n housekeeper in mozzele sc. Which has spotty cell service. Land worth $2 million Alex made 2-5 million a year.

Now, it is true that there is still one Murdaugh who works at the firm, and Buster Murdaugh secured a remittance to law school after paying some $60k, but ultimately they don't have anywhere near the pull or respect they've enjoyed for a century.

      This is a common tactic employed by covert narcissists. They challenge the most simple question in order to imply that the other party is not articulate or clear and then they engage in circular conversations. It's a form of manipulation and gaslighting I doubt it has anything to do with buying time or gaining clear understanding.
      Notice his manipulation attempt with the question about him telling the dispatcher and Owen's that he checked pulses before calling 911. The prosecution played the recordings and Alex said, see, that's what I said not what you said.
      Having been around a close loved one who did this, I can tell you it's exhausting, which is exactly what they intend.

I think he and his lawyers thought they'd pull it off. I think that was Poot's statement to the press..."AM thought he could pull it off."

    I wonder after a few years in prison that Alex will come out and say I did kill my wife and child. I was messed up from the drugs for so many years that I didn’t realize what I did until I got sober just like the Manson girls said in their interviews years later.

      Who were the Manson girls? Just curious. Any relation to Charles Manson?

    Its chilling how he is not in the least sorry for what he did. Its plain to see it in the way he acts and speaks!

      That's the big question. There is still a huge secret being kept.
