    The stealing his clients money especially the lady that worked for him and him telling her children he’d try to get them $1000,00 each then got over a million and kept most of of it is disgusting.

Perhaps it's not "we all take for granted" so much as it's they're paid to do their (chosen) job responsibly like the rest of us. *We're* thankful for it but (unless extraordinary effort and sacrifice is involved) no ticker-tape parade need apply.

    I listened to Buster when he was questioned about the guns. He stated that he couldn't think of a reason to load the shotgun with one buckshot and one birdshot round. Well, I can! Let's say you have 1700 acres to hunt on and you may find yourself shooting deer or doves on any given trip. This assumes the shotgun is a side-by-side break action. Load one of each and you've got 'em covered. You can fire either one first. As for the 300 blackout. Most states limit a hunter to three rounds in the gun at any given time. For a semi automatic long gun, this usually means one in the chamber and two in the magazine. Most detachable magazines come in 5, 10, or 15 round sizes. There's no sense in going hunting with anything bigger than a 5 rd mag. That's how Paul got shot twice with the shotgun, and Dear Wife got shot 5 times with the AR style rifle in 300 blackout.

Instead, he just leaned it against the outside of his vehicle & told the arriving police that so that they would see that he had touched a gun, so that would explain gun shot residue on his hands/clothes. So doubt would be created whether he just had GSR from transference...not from actual shooting.

What is sad is that domestic abuse of women is very embedded in every culture globally, and gender discrimination is very deep, but they supported the more visible Black cause even though he was guilty, they knew it, and did not care. They were fixing the historical unfairness in this trial. I understood that was more important to jurors. The other dynamic was that Black women resent White women taking away their males and making the remaining pool of men smaller to choose from. They got their revenge here by making the White woman pay. These were the two forces that freed OJ even though everyone knew he was 100% guilty.

    Good grief I didn’t realize about the residue on his clothes or on the “jacket tarp”. Or the shells had characteristics if other shells on the hunting grounds which came from family guns. He thought this out, except, he didn’t realize there was a video with his voice, the caregiver saw him at his mothers house at 6:30 am which he never did and she saw him carry a blue tarp like thing, rushing up the stairs and leaving it, or the gps and phone can track him and time especially the time of his 911 call. Residue on him and the guns should have been enough, then add one of the family guns was missing. If the care giver had not seen him with the blue “tarp jacket” they wouldn’t have looked for the blue thing and find gun residue. Also if he touched the bodies, there was so Much blood, why didn’t he have blood on him. He’d never tell the truth until he got caught. He would have kept stealing if he hadn’t been caught. He’d never confess the lie about not being there unless there was that video. He wouldn’t have changed his timing if calling 911 except when it was proven he made the call 20 seconds after he arrived at the kennel. All that is enough to conduct him. I didn’t realize there was gun residue every where or about the shells were same as in the hunting field , guns same as family had and one missing. Wow.

    The suspect is genius. This is why he said he went in the house and grab the gun after he found the body cause he was worried for a safety so he can say it was transfer from That gun and not the crime scene gun. That’s also why he made a point to say that he attempted to roll his son over because he’s gonna say that’s how he got gunshot residue on his clothes so that will be reasonable doubt and he will get off even though he absolutely is the person who murdered his wife and his son.

The care taker confirmed he did visit, and he didn’t shower there and it would take a whole lot of scrubbing to get all that off. A 15 min drive to visit his mom, 5 minutes outside moms house, 20 minutes inside laying on moms bed, 15 minute drive back. That eats up the entire hour that he would have had to clean up all dna and gun residue. It literally makes no sense.

Add to that additional time: supposedly to drive in the opposite direction to his parents' house and throw out or stop and throw away Maggie's cell phone; time to drive to the house to get a gun after finding the bodies, time to dispose of the guns and clothing. All supposition. But the timing doesn't make sense, as you state. It would also have taken quite some time to shower and scrub to get off all the forensic material, especially blood. Also to clean the bathroom/shower after showering, to not leave evidence. All this at night and much in the dark, too.

    I get that the gsr " could" arguably be from their other gun usages in the past but when the caregiver said he brought a blue thing like a tarp into his parents home.. well that coat wadded up looks like a blue tarp ( I have one myself, bigger but same color of blue) but also as it was being handled it sounded like tarp material. ( not cloth) I would think carrying that into his parents, that color and especially with it making that sound, I can easily see why the caregiver thought it was a tarp like thing. I would have too based on my own. They should recall the witness, fold it up and carry it around making the sounds and ask her if this is like what she recalled that day. If so, then the obvious answer would be "why would he bring it to his parents house?" And they should ask him. I actually think they brought up him taking a tarp and he said he had no idea of what they were talking about ( a "tarp", so his answer was honest technically) I know innocent till proven guilty but he has lied, back tracked his story so it seems like he is guilty in some way. He had drugs on him that night he admitted and said ( i think he said) at one point the drugs mess with his thinking or something to that effect. Could he have done this in a hysterical confused out of control, out of his head moment...seems logical maybe. If so I would think he would be remorseful after the fact realizing what happened and what he had done, but is he going to admit that he killed them and use that as an excuse ( a temporary moment of insanity type argument?) I have no idea. Maybe he is innocent, but things about his story definitely don't fit together. On another note ( long post, sorry) how could he have kept his emotions so somewhat under control that night? When the police arrived I would been an incoherant puddle on the ground, I don't think I would have been able to put two sentences together on the 911 call, I would have been screaming and probably hyperventilating as well. When they arrived, they would have found me there cradling my loved one to my heart screaming uncontrollably. Talk about crime scene contamination! I would have been covered in their blood and sitting in it!! He " seemed" distraught and upset, but certainly not the out of control mess I would have been. I can't even fathom the depth of a parents grief finding their loved one, especially their child, like that. And in the courtroom listening to them describe the graphic details of their wounds as an parent I would have needed a bucket at my feet because i would have been vommiting. As well as ten boxes of tissues in front of me. Actually, I would have needed to be sedated. I couldn't have listened to all that horror done to my child and spouse.

    As horrific as this crime is it is at the same time unsurprising bc Alex is both socio & psychopathic. Remember being psychopathic is not a learned act but inborn passed down thru generations which explains his deceased son Paul's behavior throughout his short life including not feeling the slightest bit guilty or responsible for his 19yo girlfriends death tho he drove & crashed the boat intoxicated. Psychopaths are incapable of feeling things like empathy and compassion, guilt, embarrassment, shame, or love, Despite paralegal's testimony describing Alex as a strong family man I think that as long as he could get away w/stealing he could afford to be "nice" but when everything began to unravel (as it inclines to do), Jekyll turns to Hyde. Who knows how many bodies his father & grandfather buried tho never caught.
