"You did not know what you were doing." Harpootlian was so rude and insulting. What a jerk!
He is old school..when lawyers were called Sharks! Just a bully grasping at straws. 🫣
Can’t stand him leading witnesses. Tough guy. Not so tough. Love waters.
Listening to this, if I was on the jury, I would be 1000% annoyed by the defense
That's because the defense is reaching for straws, they have nothing and need to look like they're doing something.
I don't think the first words out of my mouth after finding my family dead would be How ya doin! Maybe that's just me.
I didn’t believe I had heard right!
The officer was great! Didn't take any crap from defense....you can tell Alex Murdaugh is lying thru his teeth!!!
LOUISE HICKS IM WITH YOU__*#POOR DOGS__STRESSES❗AWFUL FOR DOGS TO BE SEE SUCH TORTURE*#__THAT KENNELS__ANIMAL JAIL❗🍀🇮🇪
Am I the only one who feels bad for the dogs?? They saw all of this! And then they were left to languish in stress amid chaos. No one paid them any attention of course. So not fair.
Yes it’s heartbreaking to hear them barking knowing what they witnessed.
When I guy that cleans out the dog cages twice a day arrived, he asked the officer if he could feed them. Once he feed them they started to calm down. But you are right.
I think it was also the police dog or maybe barking at each other.
My mother committed suicide and her dogs followed her and were present. They had trauma and wouldn't come out of their houses for a long time except to eat and get water. Crazily, her special dog died 3 days after her. I hate thinking of that.
@@vikzytoria ❤🙏
"Could there have been any microscopic evidence disturbed?" What a stupid question! No matter who would have been at that crime scene they could have disturbed microscopic evidence. Just another slimebag Attorney.
Trying to sway the jury with unreasonable doubt lol
@@quantumrobin4627 It didn’t work! 😂😅. He only succeeded in aggravating anyone listening to him badgering the witness. Dick was just trying to get his own thoughts and editorial in.
He is grasping.
That was astonishing.
If it's microscopic then no one could see it! Lol dumbass defense
Cpl. McDowell really kept his cool throughout.
He sure did 🙂
Yep, ole doddering Dick’s playing dumb trying to trip McDowell up. Instead he just came off as an argumentative asshole.
@@sugarmagnolia6497 Lol yep
Watch Cpl. McDowell’s face on some of the questions/statements when this dope lawyer says something 😂😂
He gave it back to the geezer!
The defence lawyer is an idiot. Defence - “You weren’t looking at the scene through a microscope were you?” And…”What was your purpose of being there?” Officer - “I was a first responder” Defence - “But they were dead!!”.
The judge should have stopped this!
Just despicable type questioning by him
Thankyou for pointing it out on Poot. (I'm late when found your posted. It's mid April 2023)
Defense attorneys caused me to cringe!
1. He lied about seeing them directly before the murder time frame.
2. He lied about touching the phones after he returned home from his mothers and finding the bodies.
3. The only way wife’s phone could have gotten on the road was him taking it right after he killed them, when he left for his mother’s
I agree with the GSR and the video with his voice on it at the kennels, he did it. Evil is what that is , Guilty.
He knows, and GOD KNOWS!! GOD IS THE ULTIMATE JUDGE!!!
He also had different clothes on than Paul's video and he would've had some blood on him turning Paul over and what about his shoes with brain matter all over? He planned out what he did!
he deleted calls from Maggie on his own phone too.
@@ArmyVet82ndAbn
I agree also.
Alex is guilty of slaughtering his son & wife, and he’s sitting there acting all cold & business like! Like he’s the prosecutor prosecuting this police officer!
How despicable!😡
Can we possibly count how many people have been devastated by this act of greed, lies, and murder? Soooo many victims!
He’s another good officer. And good looking too.
… and a k9 handler 🫶🏻
And the voice is nice
He is very handsome.
@@jennavonkramm he's the brother of James McDowell, one of the jurors.
@@jojijosette5946 James shouldn't have been on the jury because of that.
It's just so sad when hearing the dog barking on the officers body cam. He is telling the story of what happened just that night.
If animals could just talk, our human hearts might be more loving. ♥️
This was the first officer and he knew it from the beginning it was Him AM
I feel so sorry for these poor dogs. They are going to be traumatized for a long time and I wish yo God they are given extra love. 🙏
Turn the dogs loose so they can rip Alex to shreds while he fake cries and snorts near the victims.
Harpoolian is an A hole. I would hope the 2 elderly defense attorneys would retire after watching their embarrassing performance in this case. They’re just argumentative with witnesses. I guess when you’re representing a guilty client, it’s all you can do.
Got cold chills reading your comment. It is so very true and such an amazing observation.
Chad is an older brother of the 22 year old juror James McDowell who has been widely praised for his careful and articulate descriptions of the jury's deliberations.
Cpl Chad McDowell was a well spoken clear representative of law enforcement. Listening to the attorney trying to malign his actions to preserve evidence was irritating AF.
This defense is trying so hard to say the murder scene was disturbed and get a mistrial.
If he told the police the truth that he moved the bodies and checked for a pulse he would have had blood on him somewhere but he didn't so that tells me he's a cold-blooded killer that planned this very well and I hope he gets found guilty and justice gets served
He said he touched both and checked pulses on both victims ( absurd considering testimony that Paul was nearly beheaded and brain stem severed brain lying at feet)
But ya no blood on Alex tells me he is lying again or washed his hands and changed clothes again
He’s scum guilty lying killing scum
Agreed
❤😢❤
Defense Attorney is an ass hat he has no other line of questioning besides trying to aggravate this officer when he was doing his job to help mark some evidence. I find this Attorney to be irritating and arrogant. I even noticed the judge becoming bothered by him and that is a BIG mistake. Did he want them to wait till the sun comes up so the scene would really be disturbed with the impending rain etc. they mentioned it had not rained yet so sounds like it was expected. I think Murdaugh went and grabbed another shot gun in the event it may have been used recently and possibly it would have a form of gun powder residue as an excuse if it was found on his hands, I don't know if that's even a possibility. Everyone deserves a fair trial but my gut says he is guilty as sin and a lousy actor. That was definitely his voice on that video and as it turned out Paul's phone was dead which is why he could not delete the video. For someone who has been an Attorney all these years he is pretty stupid in a lot of ways.
I agree. It was also noted at some point that AM had shells in his pockets that did not match the shotgun he took to the scene.
@@grandmommu8815 Exactly and now in todays testimony the defense has some expert trying to portray ones again that there were 2 shooters. I just don't believe that for a sec. I think AM tried to paint that picture from the very beginning. Someone can very well carry to long arm guns and put one down on the ground right next to yourself. Such a stupid argument they are trying to make.
LOL once again I meant to say
Gosh this defense is dreadful. Asking ridiculous questions.
when asked to identify murdaugh in the courtroom i wish he said yes right there in the orange wig
🤣🤣🤣
😂
I’ve been wondering if that was a wig or not, as it’s a difficult color from the sides of his hair.
Lol that’s messed up 🤣😅
Just point at the faded ass ginger
That’s the guy
Looks a lot like Beavis
Beady shark eyes
Pointy noise
He’s cornholio in a cheap musty suit prolly has some mothballs and tic yaks in his pocket
Which he will grab for with his filthy blood stained paws
Poor dog is distressed. A little human comfort would have gone a long way.
I have to commend Cpl. McDowell. I saw his body cam footage and was impressed with his calm control over the situation he encountered as well as his amazing attention to detail.
Where can I view that, is there a link?
in the video he is thinking because pauls brain matter was on the ceiling that it was a suicide. He was wrong
The doggos sound so upset. That hurts me. ❤️
I know, they must have been so scared and would have got really bad vibes, poor babies 😢
sad they can't speak
@@vickimingus9281 I know right?!
They saw it all trying to tell them what happened.
@@marleneg7794
🐕😭💔
I hate that they don't show us what is on the screen
I'm sure most don't want to see what this man and dogs was seeing.
@@wolke1955 I want to see it all.
@@annieb5647 same
Good job officer! If I understood what the officer was saying, surely this high paid lawyer would get it.
His way of questioning was to bully the witnesses. Thankfully, these young men know how to deal with ignorance!
I have been 100% underwhelmed by all the defense attorneys. Did Murdaugh really think these guys could help, or was he desperate? They seemed bumbling, asked irrelevant questions, asked questions about issues that had already been clarified (so I guess they hadn't been listening), and didn't seem to understand what was going on generally. Competence would have been more convincing to the jury, I'm pretty sure.
I felt the same
They are not good at all in my opinion.
The dog telling them everything. The killer is right there
So heartbreaking! And the poor distressed dogs in the background must have witnessed the horror 😱😥
Calm and professional...and seems more sad than Murdaugh...the poor dog is crying, cares more for his humans than Murdaugh does for his slaughtered family
Those dogs were terrified. 😢 They knew something was terribly wrong. If only they could tell who brutally murdered Maggie and Paul. 😢🐾Bless them.
Yes they Where crazy when they could speak sad nobody was there for them.
Omg
So terrible. The dogs were the witnesses to this dark night.
Those poor dogs. They witnessed those murders and have been forever traumatized. I hope they are being well cared for now.
Blanca have Bubba in her care ❤❤❤❤
Lay off the booze.
I believe that Maggie saw her son being shot
This defense attorney is exceedingly rude. Someone has to walk around to mark evidence. The “crime scene tape” can’t float around in the air on it’s own and set itself up. A person has to put it out. And the first responder repeatedly told Harpootlian what his job was and yet, the lawyer kept saying, “ you don’t know what your job is, do you?” I guess when the defense doesn’t really have anything to say to a witness, he just walks around acting indignant and rude. “ Harpo” won zero points on this witness.
Coming back to watch this testimony that I missed now that the verdict is in. I understand completely why the jury came to a quick and decisive guilty ruling. The Hairpoodle's barely veiled insults and superiority complex demonstrated here is enough to make anyone want to poke him in the eye. He didn't do AM any favours here or anywhere else in the trial. Terrible defense for a disgraceful man who committed a number of unfathomable and finally heinous crimes. The universe does it's work once again.
@@lifesabeach8133 me too, going back over the testimony that is and yes, it's exceedingly obvious as to why they only took 3 hours to come back with guilty verdict, AM is a sociopath, go listen to some of the jail phone calls with his son Alex, Murdaugh Murders Podcast: Incoming Call From Alex Murdaugh: The Jailhouse Tapes, will convince you even more what a horrible human being this guy is. Guilty verdict shows that the Prosecution did a pretty good job presenting all the evidence, testimony's, cross examination, timeline etc.
No blood on his clothes or him but yet he touched the bodies even attempted to roll Paul over and tried to “do something with Paul’s phone” and yet no blood on him. How can that be?? Possibly cleaned himself up? Changed clothes?
And then went to get a gun from the gun room?
Admitted in the cops cruiser he picked up Paul's phone and he knew you weren't supposed to to anything and put it down. He was trying to see what was in Paul's phone.(according to Paul's friend,he was talking to Paul around the time of the murders when the phone call stopped.) He knew Paul videoed him in different clothes awhile earlier,but didn't know Paul sent it to his friend.
Flat out lying about trying to check Paul's pulse?
He was seen in 4 dif pairs of shoes that day. Leather to work, loafer (house shoe) tugging on tree vid, housekeeper described a deck shoe and police seen him in tennis shoes.
@@charcain5427 yup! A lot of changing on his part
THAT DEFENSE ATTORNEY SHOULD GET THE AWARD FOR STUPID QUESTIONS ASKED!
For sure,lol
To be such a high profile attorney, he doesn’t impress me at all….
So sad..to fathom this level of betrayal.
Those poor dogs knows something is very wrong!
First defense for most defense attorneys is to attack the processes and procedures of cops, cops' behavior, and evidence tampering when they have nothing else for defense. Most people trust their local cops and trust they follow protocol. Defense attys will throw every spaghetti noodle against the wall, whether true or false, hoping that just one noodle will stick so the jury comes back with a not guilty verdict. For defense attys, their sole purpose is to detract, divide, and push blame away from their client no matter what, again, to get that not guilty verdict. They dont care who they hurt, discredit unjustly, or destroy as long as they win the case. These defense attorneys are doing exactly what most do-go on the attack to save their client and their own reputations.
The prosecution has to prove their opening statements, otherwise the defendant is presumed innocent. So far, I don't think they've proved anything.
I could not do this job, because I pretty sure they know he is guilty.
That's because they aren't Their crooked cops!
So very well said Vicky.... your words were my exact thoughts throughout Cpl. Mcdowell's testimony. A top notch and fine individual Cpl. McDowell appears and he's no doubt well aware of the defense attorney's intention.
I applaud him for the fine job in his every response....all the while avoiding every noodle thrown his way. Granted I understand the strategy of an defense attorney, however their wise guy words can certainly ruffle one's feathers.
They can do it without being soulless sleazebags, which isn't what happened here.
This defense attorney is poking in the dark. Trying to cast doubt on individuals who were actually trying to do there job, because he has zero else to attack. Inferring they were incompetent, really!? The man is clearly old and past his prime, he should have retired years ago already.
This defense "attorney" is why lawyers were nicknamed "Sharks"! Cold blooded and after blood!😡
why can't defense attorney just ask the questions without being a dick. they don't come off well
If someone framed him, they did a good job. Suspicious to me. The fire chief should have done what he was told, in my opinion
The defence lawyers are desperate and despicable. Hopefully the jury sees through their attempts to twist the facts.
Those poor dogs were traumatized. So hard to believe a father/husband could go up close range and shoot them....disgusting . He will pay his wages beyond this world.
What a good cop. He did what was needed. Typical attorney trying to undermine a witness poor officer enduring this condescending lawyer
This prosecutor is conducting an excellent cross-examination-having the police explain every detail-he's anticipating the smarmy defense lawyer trying to confuse the witnesses.
Smarmy is an excellent adjective to describe the defense attorneys
Scumbags
Skeeze bags
Schesters
Ass hats
Etc.
You mean direct examination
When it’s the states witness it’s called a direct exam. Defense does cross.
But yes you’re right- prosecutor IS anticipating everything Defense will try to cross examine on.
@@cateellington4081 defense does cross exam states witnesses
You’re correct though states witnesses are brought out after opening argument the state ,or district attorney as some say,presents its witness
Prosecutors for the state ask their questions
That’s presenting their evidence
Defense may raise objections during witness testimony
However after the state prosecutor asks their questions
The witness may be subjected to cross examination by the attorneys for the accused, often called “ the defense”
They are allowed to ask questions which may weaken the credibility of witness testimony, challenge the memory or eye witness accounts , or ask about exculpatory evidence ( meaning dies this witness know anything to suggest the accused is not guilty)
That’s exculpatory evidence and benefits the accused. So the defense can try to use cross to soften the states case
After the state presents all of their witnesses and the defense has cross examined whom they choose
The defense presents their case with their witnesses
Sometimes the same witnesses but with a different part of the relevant information to tell defense than what they told state
That’s the truth the whole truth part
Anyway same process now in reverse
Defense attorney presents their case calling their witnesses and state prosecutors may cross examine the witnesses to try to weaken the defense or strengthen states position.
Then after all testimony has been heard closing arguments by state then closing arguments by defense
Defense always has the last word.
Opening and closing arguments are a summary and not to be considered as evidence.
Evidence only comes from sworn statements or sworn exhibits
Then judge gives jury instructions
Then jury deliberated the facts entered into evidence
The credibility of witnesses
The judges ruled as what they must find guilty and not guilty on depending on the entire trial and their judgement of the accused
Has the prosecution made a case that this defendant is guilty
Beyond a reasonable doubt
I’m not insinuating you did not know how it works just a general education for people new to criminal trials
But I think the first poster meant the prosecution was anticipating anything the defense might ask and countering it already in direct testimony
So it looks like “ the defense has nothing “
Always a chess game
What's stands out for me is the first interview with Alex. He was quick to point out the weird likeable friend of his dead son Paul. He even had that on conversation saved on his cell. If that wasn't enough to steer the investigator to another unknown person or persons that were texting his dead son with threats due to a Boating accident which his dead son faced charges for. He showed no anger ,shock or grief when interviewed right after his wife and sons death. It is as a small cry and then he tried to deflect any accusations towards him. Then I saw the women who testifed he asked her to say the hours he was there visiting his mother. With the caveat a better job at the school where she was also employed. If that information doesn't point all 10 fingers at him along with his history of stealing millions from clients and friends could be a motive to kill his family to deflect from his crimes. Sounds like a ridiculous way to solve financial troubles via murder. He's gotten away for years with his shady dealings. Should we add murder also.
He would have been more than happy to send another man to jail for the murders imo he’s that bad .
AM's eyes say a lot that he isn't verbally expressing. It's almost like he is threatening them because, at this time, he thinks he will be found not guilty. 🤨
As for the defense attorney, an old saying comes to mind as far as questioning ignorance is concerned, "don't open your mouth and remove all
doubt"!
The defense attorney is either dumb or playing dumb. I understand he has to show his client he's doing something but his questions are dumb. He also needs a hearing aid.
Oh, those poor dogs!! What did they see and witness??? They know their Owners!!! They have feelings😢!
They understood everything. Sadly.
@@Sharon-kr1ui agree.
The dogs were traumatized. So sad. I wish the ASPCA had removed them. They saw it. Did anyone even tend to them? 💔
do they know they were killed??? i know dogs understand when someone gets hit and hurt because try hitting someone in front of their dogs and they most often attack or at least get all dramatic and bark if they are to scared to attack. if its someone they know like a brother hitting another brother dogs usually try to stop this as well but in stead of biting they give a warning to stop by jumping on you or gettting in the way.
but other than that i dont think they know or understand they got killed and if its a farm they probably shot guns around the dogs and are used to it. so by now that shots that killed them have already been forgotten by the dogs. maybe they are barking at the strangers like all dogs do. and i can hear the dogs making that sad cry noise they do so they are super upset and yeah could actually be the trauma from the horible events or it can be that the strangers are super close and actually messing around the bodies and moving the bodies that sets off the dogs
@@miamagana7835 Dogs have a keen sense to them!!! Most dogs are smarter than human beings
@@miamagana7835 You are 100 % correct. I have worked with many different breed’s throughout the years. I’m not sure why some of these people feel like the animal is traumatized. He most likely doesn’t know anything other than the fact that his family is gone. It’s in their nature to bark like that. Go and watch videos with the same breed especially when strangers are around. Although they do sense certain things and are very smart animals all of this other stuff is ridiculous
They are dogs...ive watched dogs tear coyotes from limb to limb. Relax
I will say this though.....those dogs know exactly what happened
If he did it, he deserves to sit there and listen to that over and over again but if he didn't, that would be unimaginable to hear over and over again.
If he was a human it would hurt him.
"IF he did it"? Seriously?
Sort of like hell wouldn’t you think. He should hear those dogs bark in his sleep rest if his life
Guilty or innocent, what a pitiful, flawed character this man has! It's like a Greek tragedy. What people will do for drugs, and then to cover up their misdeeds is a cautionary message for us all.
Of, course, HE DID IT!!!
A fine Law Enforcement Personnel, A fine gentleman.
The dog crying. He feels it
100%
I agree
What does the defense think they should have flown over the area !!
Cold blooded killer, absolutely no grief his deceased wife and child.
A very observant officer
He did fudge a bit when asked if there had been a discussion of a murder suicide, even though that idea was quickly dismissed by him as well as others.
I think he did an excellent job.
I hated the way that they made a fuss of the house dogs where as the hunting dogs were not given the same attention but were kept most of the time in their pens until they were required for hunting. 😢
I heard Alex had 11 wallets and 7 watches when the lights came back on 😂
Alex is sending notes to his alwayers every time he sees an error in thier testimony, he would know every misstep in the crime...
Isn't it a little odd that he had no blood etc on him? If it was my son and husband/wife I would have touched them hugged them regardless of blood etc. Maybe others wouldn't I'm just wondering if I'm the only person who thinks that way.
I wonder if they found the clothes he wore in Paul's snap-chat video, earlier that day? (The bent tree video?)
If that were my husband and child! I would have been all over them! Just in hopes they could know, I was there. No way, I would not have been on them. Seeing them as in pain!
He said he went to ck their pulse, he “touched” them he said. He ought to have at least some blood on his shoes n hands.
I think he changed.
Listening to Cash cry and wince is so distressing. the other dog is barking continuously and all that comes to mind is that he didn't annihilate them also. Considering he took the lives of the two people who loved them so much!!
Yes, I too feel that way. Very distressing the barking levels as they tried to express themselves…😢
He killed them, just another guy that thinks he's entitled
Thou shall not kill, steal, lie, but why stop once you get started? That must be the logic here. One thing leads to another.
These defense attorneys are one of the reasons why the public has a bad feeling towards our police who sacrifice everything to serve and protect.
This is what our police have to deal with.
Instead of giving them encouragement in them dealing with a horrible situation, these lawyers are constantly belittling their actions.
I just wonder what these defense attorneys would do if they were in the reverse role.
No wonder police mentally explode at times.
I have been in marriages where my life was in danger, I left and never looked back, Maggie and Paul had no way to leave. They had no idea what was coming at them.
These murders were not from a stranger.
Who was there, and who among those people is innocent? And, who remains? This does not require rocket science.
Love this guy’s professionalism 💚
Let this be an eye opener for people who don’t have a handle on their kids and doing things that could drain them….financially, emotionally..
Very serious.
The dog's are barking cause people are 🤷🏼 in the area but they didn't bark when someone came to murder 2 people maybe because they new Alex
Its Amazing what a sorry sight some defendants can be.One would almost feel sorry for them if you did not know what they have done.
I actually feel sorry for him when I listen to his jail phone, he sounds so pathetic. That man is not going to last even one month in prison. He’s going to prison no doubt, it’s just a matter of how long.
I see him taking his own life when he’s sent to prison. Right now he’s in jail which is not too bad
@@suzymoroka297 you obviously don’t know what you’re talking about because prison is way better than county jail and anyone who’s ever been in the system can tell you that.
@@linds1571 I’m not American, but I thought that when someone is on trial and not yet convicted, they are held in county jail until they are convicted. Once convicted, they are moved to the penitentiary or prison.
So when I say Alec will not last long in prison, I’m referring to after his conviction, because he will be convicted of something. Even if he pulled a miracle and escape the murder charges, (very unlikely with the evidence we’ve seen but you never know with the jury) he will will definitely be found guilty in the other 100 charges he’s facing over stealing the money.
There are better ways to correct someone without coming across as an ass.
@@linds1571 I was not talking about which is better between prison and jail. My comment had to do with Alec’s personality. The thought of losing control and spending the rest of his life in prison or jail, whatever, he will have to sit in his cell and contemplate how his life has turned to this. I don’t think he will be able to cope with knowing that he brought down a law dynasty going back 100 years and he’s solely responsible for that. I don’t think his pride will allow him.
As per usual, in these kind comments, people are speculating, giving opinions on the cases
@@suzymoroka297 others would have received the death penalty. An eye for an eye ..
That dog Saw everything
Those dogs are traumatized!! Here in there bark.. and the howling.
I would not want the elder lawyer Alex has! No way
I wouldn't want him to represent me in parking ticket case.
He's pretty good for the area.
His two attorneys, Dick and Jim are despicable humans. They have lied about so many things in this case. Rotten yo the core.
Supposed to be devastated, but gives a casual "how ya doin"!??! WTH
It's interesting that in several videos I have watched, the dogs are quiet until Murdaugh is around and they can hear him. I think our doggy friends might just be trying to tell us something.
this defense attorney is so arrogant, rude and snotty. Guess that's why he's in politics as a senator.
Who check's for microscopic blood in grass? Ridiculous line of questions!
Does this defense attorney not understand that we all completely understand what CPL. McDowell was doing. It's clear and even a lay person understands "Preserving a crime scene"... A high school undergraduate can grasp that. The defense attorney is accomplishing one thing; making himself look stupid and an ass. He knows you always preserve a crime scene before processing. He knows they had to check under Paul for a weapon- that is 101 if that. Maybe half 101. He tries to either put words in someone's mouth or make what is genuine operations look ridiculous/which only makes the attorney look ridiculous. If the jury can't see through this; they need to get up and go home.
DUMB defense attorney.
Did Murdaugh and his lawyers go to the University of Stupidity??
So rude & so unnecessary & so unprofessional………..The defensive behaviour of the defence attorney made himself look foolish
If they was to let out that dog. That dog would jump on the defendant
This was a serious crime scene, so the family should not have been allowed up close and NO ONE should have covered those bodies!! Defense attys love when a crime scene is disturbed in some way and possibly contaminated. No one messes with the bodies except the coroner.
The fire chief covered the bodies.
Wtf was HE even doing there?! Cops, I swear
the cops made a big mistake by maybe contaminated the crime Sean
@@larryfox5353 I doubt cause those blankets have to be totally disenfected
It’s my understanding they use special material to cover dead bodies. The “blankets” will be freshly unsealed. It’s not regular house blankets being used…
The defense attorney is deliberately attempting big to provoke and make the officer accidentally say anything he can attack! This old man really needs to retire or go back to his sandbox!
The most uncomfortable witness chair! Replace it!
Why is Alex taking notes? He acts like he is the lawyer in someone else,s trial.🤮
The defence is pathetic 🙄🙄 what’s he’s point 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
That defense lawyer is a total JERK
Guilty as can beeeeee
What evidence has been presented for this conclusion? Curious
@@BH-1964 Alec called his wife Maggie and asked her to come out to Moselle that night. She thought Alec was up to something and called her friend to say she was suspicious. Unfortunately she went anyway and was shot to death by Alec, who had conveniently given the kennel guy the night off. He shot his wife and son in a spot where he knew there were no cameras and then went to his mother's house to develop a believable alibi.
@Jane Gardener I've not seen any evidence that paints the picture you paint... hopefully if that scenario is true there's evidence because right now there's no evidence that backs up the theory
@Jane Gardener I'm kinda feeling like the agency in charge aren't as competent as the Ohio bureau BCI is what I believe they're called this one is S*** I'm not sure... BCI in Ohio did an outstanding job with the Ohio v/s Wagner
@@BH-1964 sorry you're having so much trouble thinking
This is not important, but it's interesting. We hear only one dog barking on the recording. Either those dogs are remarkably well trained, or their instincts told them that the events of the night were so terrifying that they should try not be noticed. Poor animals! I wonder what's become of them.
Why is he trying so hard to discredit such a fine professional in our law enforcement????????? Seriously. Pretty lame , IMO
I know two Lawyers that I would never use and they do not work for the Sate of SC
This attorney is ridiculous!
His wife & son are murdered & he's gonna think to say "how ya doin" he was all sad sounding & then just casually hiw ya doin?!??!
If I was a copper and he said how u doing I would say can you tel me what the he'll has happend here I also would say you don't seem to be upset why is that
Why can’t we see the videos
#1: should have released the dogs...they would probably go at Alex. #2: who, after seeing their son and wife on the ground with their heads blown up, turns to an approaching officer and asks, "how are you doin?"??????
Very distinguished gentleman the witness is.The defense errked me.This man is not on trial.
Poor dogs had to hear Paul and Maggie be shot down. Awful.
Ikr! if dogs could talk!
I think the dogs are trying to tell them something. I can't imagine what they saw.
You all have the rights to your own opinions. I however disagree and I’m not sure why a few of you think that. I’ve worked with many breeds throughout the years and these dogs are known for that. Especially when strangers are around. They are very smart animals and they do sense certain things. That doesn’t mean they’re trying to tell them something other than “ Get out “ though
Why didn't the dogs bark like that if a stranger was out there to murder them because it was Alex before he went to his mother's n come back 🤷🏼🙏
@@katherinestewart9050 and toss her phone out the window along the way, in my opinion.
They are reacting to the strangers’ presence all around them.
That’s right, they are use to gunfire, they are hunting dogs, it’s ridiculous the people commenting on feeling sry for the dogs not the victims
The dogs sounds like Bubba's bark! I bet Bubba and Cash barked their heads off when the shots ran out and Maggie running for her life to get away, and Paul already shot and dead. So glad this trial over and they got justice. Life back to back. He'll never get out. He can appeal all he wants, but that video tape with his voice on it and the lies he told "I was not there, I was taking a nap, and then I went to my mama's house." Paul, may have thought I better always video myself cause I can't trust him. He's made threats before. And that night, Paul filmed Cash as an excuse. Cause truthfully, I saw no issues with Cash's tail. I think those weapons were in the back of the golf cart. They have always been in his possession. They are now disappeared. But eventually the truth always comes out in the long run!
Harpoopoo's questions were RIDICULOUS!!
Them poor dogs no one has
As spoken about o hope they are getting treated and having the love and care coz they seen there mummy die its trauma for dogs 🐕
Now, that is how to stay calm under pressure. WTG
