Judge Newman had command of his courtroom, he was confident in his rulings, and allowed cameras in the courtroom.
I hope ID takes heed in his example of how a trial can be run and still have cameras present.

@@dianealarcon8304, Someone suggested Jean Toal. The former South Carolina Chief Justice, for all her good qualities, is the one who fostered and nurtured the NEPOTISM, NEPOTISM, AND THEN MORE NEPOTISM culture of judging in South Carolina. She may have inherited it from her predecessors; but she did NOTHING to end it.
HERE IS A BETTER IDEA: bring the three living and mentally competent RETIRED U.S. Supreme Court Justices: Kennedy, Souter, and Bryer; and ask to sit in a panel of three.
Sandra Day O'Connor is still alive but she suffers from that which hit her mother and from which the late Justice Ginsburg had been spared.
In many countries, trial judges sit in panels of three. These are the countries without jury systems. But since this is a fact-intensive finding, it would be appropriate to have a panel of three judges.
Retired Justice Breyer was appointed by Bill Clinton and is Jewish. Retired Justice Souter was appointed by GHW Bush (father) and is Episcopalian. Retired Justice Kennedy was appointed by Ronald Reagan and is Catholic. Of the three, only Souter served as a state trial judge in New Hampshire and liked to speak to jurors after trials.
Once confirmed by the U.S. Senate, a U.S. Supreme Court Justice is confirmed for life and may, after retirement from the U.S. Supreme Court, sit (and at least Souter and O'Connor sat) on the federal cicuit courts of appeals. But there is no chance of Richard Alex Murdaugh's ("RAM") case ever going to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, where Souter sometimes sat after retiring from the U.S. Supreme Court.
In my opinion free from false humility, this is the only way this fractured country will ever have any confidence in any FACT-FINDING involving RAM.
The only problem with this idea is whether three late octagenerians can be convinced to come to South Carolina, whether Colloton County or Columbia; but may be the lure of some sunny days to escape the fall/winter drear of Boston and New Hampshire may do the trick.
No joke. Really.
God bless Judge Newman. A fair, empathetic, judge. He personifies how a judge should be!
Knowing that the Judge tragically lost his own son, just a month before the case started, shows what a wonderful man & father he is. We all need those qualities in the judiciary.
Judge Newman is a role model for his profession. He shows a kind and compassionate passion for the human side of this sometimes thankless job.
Not always 🤦🏿
This judge is one of the most professional judges ive seen in years.
I loved this judge- he was honest, eloquent and fair.
Can’t you feel sorry for someone who really screwed up his life? It doesn’t mean you forgive or forget or keep the person out of jail.
Tbh Vince’s response just makes him look immature.
@@athenarocks7657. Vinnie’s not the brightest crayon I think he’s annoying on a regular basis. The judge is such a great guy he seemed truly confused by Murdaugh’s character, but Murdaugh is a straight up psychopath. A psychopath 100%. The judge has a sweet soul he meant he feels sorry for Murdaugh because he knows Murdaugh is PATHETIC. That’s why he said it.
I have the upmost respect for Judge Newman. Even though he sentenced a man to life in prison and has to endure horrific testimony in the cases he rules over, he still said he feels sorry for Alec. This shows how much compassion and empathy he has for others, DESPITE what they have done. It’s very clear to me Judge Newman is close with God. We could all learn a thing or two from this man. What an incredible human. May God bless him✨🙏🏻💫
Yea I respect Judge Newman but he could have shown the mother of the murderer of the girl that was killed in Columbia SC. Alec killed two ppl which are relatives and that dude killed a stranger
Amen...🙏🏻✝️🕯️
@ raineyj560 The trial was solely for the murder of Alex’s wife and son.
Really kind and sensitive judge. Also a no nonsense guy. Imagine how he felt losing his own son knowing Alex took the life of his.
But no, I wouldnt waste an ounce of pity on Alex Murdaugh.
God Bless Judge Newman. A judge of judges. He holds his responsibility in His highest reverence.
I wish Judge Newman was my grandpaw.
@@LizLaengeragree, as long as you don't end up calling him Paw-Paw. The cringe...😖
I don’t necessarily think he feels “sorry” for him, but more so sorry for the absolute horror he created within himself, his family, and his community.
"Pity" might be a better word?
This judge restored my faith in humanity.
To have lost his own son and to remain professional is admirable.
The words the judge spoke will resonate with many.
Judge Newman is truly a good man first, fantastic judge second.
Respect 💟
I suspect he meant he felt PITY for him, which is different. Like he’s pathetic, not because he is a victim.
He won’t be haunted. These narcissists don’t have a repentant cell in their body. They will never admit fault for anything. He’ll just get on with his pathetic life. I was married to one for 22 years. It’s simply incredible
I was married to one for 9 years. Ruined my life. Treats our kids like trash taken out to the curb on garbage day
Yes you are right. They have no empathy and only care about themselves. I'm also married to one.
You're absolutely right.
I agree.
He has to have a heart and a conscience to be haunted by his actions, but AM is totally devoid of both.
Exactly why he doesn't deserve empathy, and you're right about "getting on with their pathetic life", Murdaugh seems to be doing unusually well in prison
I believe he meant..he feel sorry for what he has become..not that he feel sorry that he's going to prison.
Such a wonderful man. Bless him.
Love this judge. He saw through the bs
So much love and respect for Judge Newman!
Judge Newman is a true judge- compassionate, Just, wise and principled.
It's called empathy.. its a huge fall from grace..
Judge Newman is a genuinely nice guy. He was fantastic during that trial.
Eloquent and elegant judge Newman!!
He can feel sorry for the person he knew, who was the lawyer with good standing in their community. Not the double murder money stealing low life that was on trial
I wish Judge Newman would be on the case of the 4 Idaho murders.
and vallow Daybell case
Mad respect for this brilliant judge 💙
I like this guy
We need more judges like him
A jurist and a gentleman
The Judge knew him personally and perhaps that’s why. I love Judge Newman.
Judge Newman defines authenticity
This is a stunning judge
That Judge was brilliant in his closing of that case and not sure why lawyers are criticizing him? Most impressive judge I ever saw! Judge felt sorry for him as a lawyer who was so sick to thief off clients and murder people and ruin the lawyer view in that area! The judge knew him for years and was shocked at his change that’s all! Lots of shock in this guy! You have to feel sorry for all the narcissist out there! I felt sorry for my last Narc BF and expressed it, even though it was worst abuse I ever experienced in 4 weeks in a relationship! The narcissist evil is unknown to those guys and awareness is blind! I feel sorry for these sickos!!!!
Exactly!! I think people are not understanding the context of his use of the word in this case. Old school people would refer often to a person who was a ‘sorry excuse’ for a person, ‘sorry’ of this or that. It didn’t mean they felt emotional for that person.
@@donna-leeking2211 exactly! I felt sorry for my ex being such a sicko from his childhood and never to be cured of narcissism! He went on to marry and destroy 3 more women in just 10 years! We of course feel sorry for victims too!
@@Juke582 Your ex is a sorry example of a human!! We feel sorry for victims’ loved one’s. We feel sadness for the victim and what they’ve experienced (both in death and for the heroic survivors!! I’m sorry this has happened to a family and their loved one; and sorry that the murdered victims aren’t allowed to live on and experience what we all take for granted.
It’s a terrible fate that you’ve experienced this violence first hand and for many of us we can only add resolve for others (having a trauma informed perspective).
Just remember Lovely, you have to matter more❣️🙏
@@donna-leeking2211 thank you Donna for your empathy.
in that case, judge shouldnt have been shocked. there was no change in behavior, he'd been stealing for decades. judge just didnt know him better
Judge Newma is so compassionate in telling Alec what he did was henuous and pure evil
Judge Newman was spot on with this case he was phenomenal.
I love Judge Newman! God bless you Sir! 🙏🏻✝️🕯️
My FAVORITE Judge❣️ Thank you for your integrity and quality of character!!! You are so very loved!!! ❤️♥️❤️
I understand having empathy for a lost soul. It is TRAGIC!!! 💔💔💔💔
I think what Newman means,ls what he had. A great privileged position as a Lawyer. A loving wife and mother. Blessed with children. Its what he has lost by his despicable actions,that he feels for him,nothing more. He threw away everything for his own selfish gains. An amazing Judge in my opinion.
I think Judge Newman feels sorry for Murdaugh because Alex Murdaugh is so delusional. 😒
The best Judge ever, my favorite ❤❤❤
Judge newman was amazing in this trial ..
I love this Judge 👨⚖️ ❤
I love Judge Newman ❤❤❤❤
I can see Judge Newman's perspective. He worked with Murdaugh- before. He was trying to get through past the psychopath, past the mental disease, to reach AM and get him to a point he could be honest with himself. He almost did too.
I think that's the pity he felt. He felt sorry for the AM trapped inside the psychopath.
The judge is an incredible man and just the definition of a high quality jurist and consummate, compassionate person. Prayers with him and his family for their loss.
Yay!! Judge Newman, a true hero!
I feel sorry for Murdaugh too. He had a great life. Great profession, nice family. Destroyed all of it, including himself. Sorrow is all there is.
Wonderful smart judge!
He is a very inspirational character. The black community of our USA desperately needs thousands like him throughout our cities teaching and showing these young kids what they can be. Good for him. Thank you Judge Newman
Thank you and God Bless you Judge Newman. Jean✌
I have the highest regard for Judge Newman and his handling of this case. He was professional, graceful and empathetic towards someone who had did a horrific thing to his wife and son, clients and colleagues, the community and most of all to himself.
In midst of losing his own son, Judge Newman, had to preside over a case in which a man took the life of his son in the name of greed and selfishness. What a juxtaposition.
Thank you, Judge Newman for being an outstanding professional and showing humanity and some empathy towards a man who to many feel was undeserving!
Best judge ever shame he is forced to retire
Judge Newman is a true example of how Judge's should conduct themselves. We need more fair and honest Judges just like Newman!!
Judge Newman is a class act!
Newman was clearly referring to feeling sorry for such a pitiful soul, but whatever floats yer boat, Vinnie Barbarino. Another thing you're ignoring is the appeal process and the possibility he might not have shot them. I'm not a lawyer, but I watched more than one channel consisting of lawyers who poked a lot of holes in the prosecution's case.
Hey Vinnie, I get how you feel but Judge is referring to a different kind of sorry. Judge is a God fearing man and he means this in a Christian way. He feels sorry that this man felt he had to do what he was doing and then at the end - he saw no way out!😢
•Judge retired after the case.
•Judge’s son died suddenly just a week before the trial began.
Get some experts who know what they’re talking about.
If I'm ever in court, I would definitely hope he's like this judge. 1000% class.
Too bad Newman’s not on SCOTUS, instead we have some really rotten judges.
I think what the judge was talking about when he said that he felt sorry for Alex , this judge has known AM for just about his entire life , he knew his grandfather and his great grandfather’s portrait was hanging in his courtroom. He was talking on a level of honesty about and knowing him and his entire family including Paul and Maggie and Here he stands before the judge a completely broken individual , so when the judge said that hey maybe it wasn’t you Alex , maybe it’s the monster you turned into when you take 30 40 50 pills and you have ruined your life and your only living son is left alone. I don’t think the judge has any regrets about his sentence but maybe it was on a very personal level of how much damage he had caused that entire town
I loved this judge
I agree with you Vinny. He still denied having involvement with evidence against him. I don’t feel sorry for him either.
When he said he’s sorry; I believe he was ‘sorry’ for the pathetic individual he publicly became. I mean let’s face it, Murdaugh has been evil his entire life. An entitled, spoilt boy, with an evil streak! I loved Judge Newman. Sending him the demons of his murdered family at night…
Murdaugh is a chameleon and his apprentice sitting behind him in court, looking unaffected throughout the entire proceedings. Emotionless when every disturbing element of this case was unveiled. Just nothing!!!
This judge is nothing but a professional and does it right!!! Great man!!! Thank you for keeping the law and being professional!!! Judge Newman is a Rock Star!!
Vinny, sometimes you need to just stop, and hush. Judge Newman is amazing. Also, its ok to feel sorry people in bad situations even if they are terrible people.
That's why Vinnie isn't a judge.
Judge Newman is a good soul.
Oh, I sooooo love this kind empathic judge.💕
Some people don’t understand what it means to feel sorry for someone. It doesn’t mean they’re innocent. It’s recognizing that persons carelessness and loss- no matter how intentional. He lost something good from his own hands, and he’ll be paying for it for the rest of his life.
Judge Newman is the gold standard. That being said, his speech to Murdaugh went beyond the call of duty.
One of the greatest cases and verdict in history. An incredible example of leadership in justice we are currently left wanting for at present. Get back on track America DOJ.
Um, because he's a human having a human emotion. Life is not white and black and neither are emotions. He also I'm sure know how addiction works a person and how someone in their addiction can go to any lengths or simply become something so different than who they were before alcoholism or addiction. He's not just a great judge, he's a good person that seems to see the grey in probably most areas of life or situations. Hats off to him, and i bet he's an awesome dad, grandpa, husband, and friend. I just really like him.
That is not what he meant - I believe he was referring for having to hear their voices everyday for the rest of this life - haunting him.
"Paw-Paw" will always be top tier cringe.
Some people like Judge Newman recognizes that only a person who has been through something horrible during their formative years is capable of doing such a horrific act to their family. This type of person is sick and probably had major trauma at some point this is how narcissism develops, and when they are narcissistic at this level, they cannot find any compassion for anyone but themselves and it’s because of past life experiences during those formative years. 4:58
Very surprised to see this judge already speaking about this matter like this...
Judge Newman was great in this trial; sir again to you, your wife, all your family my condolences for the loss of your son. Sir enjoy your retirement. At some point when all of Alex Murdaugh's trials/court appearance are over and he only has a cell to sit in most of the time I pray that his mind is tortured with thoughts of Maggie and Paul.
I admire Judge Newman and hope that I can mirror his professionalism in my profession/job.
You need to sit around a table. Legs hidden. A place to put your hands and Court TV mugs. Everyone looks uncomfortable.
This was sent with love.
I feel sorry for Alex for being such a Ioser and destroying his entire life and the legacy of his family past, present and future.
Vinnie. I’d never want YOU to be my judge. I’m glad that this judge is so humane enough to feel empathy for even the most lost and heinous of our species.
The guy behind Alex with the grey hair looks like Tommy Chong to me😂😂
Lol he does
I LOVE THE FACT THE JUDGE ADDED SALT TO HIS WOUNDS 😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
Judge Newman is what we all wanted Cliff Huxtable to be
We need more judges like this great man. God bless him. On another note I’m not impressed at all with the guy & the red glasses. I wouldn’t have any confidence in anything he said.
Judge Newman is a class act.
What a respectful judge and human being!
Vinnie, you have to understand that Judge Newman is a Christian man & that's where this empathy is coming from... Alex is a lost soul...🙏🏻✝️🙋🏼♀️
Exactly Vinny ! I don’t feel sorry for that evil man still being corrupt behind bars with no remorse at all
Well you played almost 30 seconds of the interview... the title of the video is a little misleading.
I think the judge was sorry for the situation more than the man
That judge will never have to buy his own beer again. He did it correctly and fairly
I agree. I didn’t feel any sympathy coming from the judge. He was harsh.
That judge needs to be on the Supreme Court. Get rid of some of them who seem to be above the law.
You know for 1 second there I thought he was going to actually owned up to what he did I don't feel bad he doesn't even feel bad
Judge Newman is a wonderful Judge. Nothing wrong with his interview.
Also you can't force anyone to admit murderer... you can force remorse, regardless...
AM isn't capable, an empty being has no soul.
So where's the interview with the Judge.
If a judge DOESNT have empathy for humans, THATS when we should worry.
Imo Judge Newman was rubbing it in his face... he was sitting smiling
This is not Judge Newmans first interview. He sat down for an interview shortly after the trial. However, this may be the first national interview.
He felt sorry for the man he became
When he said that about Maggie and Paul coming to him and visiting him at night...omg!! Such a haunting and sad feeling i got from hearing that. Can you imagine? What a monster Alex Murdaugh is! Just..wow!
feels sorry cause he didnt come to tell the truth redemption and he had a chance
What they are so pissed about is that this judge CN wasn't going for any of the 🤬. Lawyers don't like it when a judge control their court cases. Once Alexa Murder was founded guilty. Judge could say whatever. And he did. 100%. It was man best friend was one of the best witness. Judge Newman don't sweat the 🤬. Lawyers don't realize this wasn't your first case. Why that judge just called the man by his name. Thank you sir. Enjoy your retirement when time comes 🍻
Ew. This guy in the white is enough to stop watching. Judge Newman and the prosecution team showed class, dignity, and empathy during the entire trial.
