I think it’s significant Alex told Marion “Whoever did this was planning it for a long time!” Paul was definitely going to do some prison time & Mags was going to always have Paul’s back….Alex knew his world was crashing down especially financially & Alex knew he’d lose Maggie (as that was already somewhat in the process being more apart than together) and so, Alex chose the worst imaginable mercy killing to save what he could fit himself & Buster! And as his dream fir Buster becoming a lawyer is “Dust in the Wind” it should be interesting to see how it all plays out?! Alex’s life will most likely resemble Shawshank Redemption (helping inmates w their cases) though he will never get out! Very sad saga & I would never wish the lifestyle they had = The more you have the more you have to do to keep it!…

Crazy to think if this happened 20 years ago, he might have gotten away with it. That snapshot video was the nail in the coffin for AM.

Several motives converged the night of the murders. The final catalyst was the power struggle between Alex and Paul re: the pills. Addicts often kill to get their drugs when facing withdrawal symptoms. Paul had confiscated Alex' pills. Alex needed them. Paul foolishly tried to assert dominance over his father. In a rage Alex shot Paul and rifled his pockets (the phone did not "pop out") to take back the pills before he left the scene. Maggie supported intervention in Alex' drug use, she had control of the real estate Alex wanted to liquidate and, as a witness to Paul's murder, her fate was inevitable. I cant figure out why Alex took her phone or why he was in a hurry to leave his mother's house.

One phrase I wouldn't mind not ever hearing again: "BLEW HIS BRAINS OUT"

When they talk about processing how someone could do this when just laughing and having fun minutes before, psychos like this guy don’t think of people as people. If a person is in the way of them getting what they want and thinks they can get away with it, that’s all they need to do something. It doesn’t even need to be anger necessarily. This man had a lifetime of getting away with stuff and it ended up being a deadly combination in this case.

When I heard the testimony about Alex's cousin who had shot him, I believe it was a miss to give an excuse to say he was being targeted by the same people who took the lives of his son and wife? Not for insurance for his son, Alex has too much self-preservation.

Alex told us the motive over and over that it was the boat accident. He said he knew for a fact that whoever did it had anger in their heart, he also told Marion that whoever did it thought about it for a long time. Paul was looking at going to prison for murder and that would shame the Murdaugh name and expose his financial crimes. I think Maggie was investigating their financial problems and pressuring him about the pills and she could have possibly asked for a divorce.

To Alex the potential cost of Paul's trial + that the boat crash set into motion the uncovering of Alex's crimes trumped being a father. Alex comes first in the world of Alex Murdoch. He saw Killing Maggie as also part of the solution to his crimes. All of their houses would go to him which he could sell and pay back the people he stole from. In his mind, and with his Good ole Boy connections he thought right, that he could get away with it by paying the money back and Maggie was where the money would come from. He felt that through sympathy of the public he would be given leniency in the financial crimes and able to pay it back. They weren't living together and I believe about the divorce lawyer.

I’m not really too much in to the crime scene investigations and all that but this case has me hooked. Can’t even begin to comprehend anything that went on that night.

Brilliant prosecution = I loved the sherrif sitting behind Alex = Tough man that Dude 👏

IMO: AM told his motive by his own statement, "whoever did this had hate in his/their heart for Paul".

Watching this report in late July, 2023, I'm reminded of what a great trial this was. It was full of good lawyering, a great judge, and some really sincere and heart broken witnesses. And, the bad guy got his comeuppance.

You can get a murder conviction without a weapon OR a body, or both. Fortunately the jurors were willing and able to see through all the lies Alex spewed on the stand.

Thank you. Omg I have repeated it for 6 weeks. People do not understand thousands of criminals are in prison based solely on circumstantial evidence. Also people don’t understand beyond a reasonable doubt. It’s not NO doubt it’s reasonable doubt. Jurors are allowed to use common sense. I was shocked to find how many people do not understand those things I mentioned.

I still can’t fathom how they could be a normal family and then minutes later he turns on them and kills them. And the way they were shot was the worst way possible . The killer wanted to make sure they were dead and not just wounded. How does a mind work like that? Was it desperation because he was gonna be exposed and become the biggest embarrassment in the county. Why didn’t he kill himself and save his family? This case really bothers me. I agree with his brother Randy,who said Alex is not telling everything he knows.

Yep and “if I’d only stayed a little longer, I might’ve been able to save them”

Why do most KZread commentators talk about the second shot to Paul's head as intentional. Alex was trying to kill him with a shot to his chest. The first shot did not kill him. I believe Alex was bending over to pickup the 300 blackout or fell back on the first shot. Alex's angle was caused by a very low angle shot, and I believe he had no intention of shooting Paul in the head. The commentators say Paul was shot in the head intentionally. I don't believe that at all. Maggie is another story all together. My belief is all those shots were intentional.She wanted a divorce and was doing a financial audit. Alex's ego could not handle that.

It's very sad. ND continues to happen. Y don't ppl believe Alex would do it? He had absolutely no morals. Stole money from a deaf quadriplegic as well. He's ruthless. The whole family is. Imo

Oh what a tangled web we weave. I bet he had been waiting two years to use that line

I bet if anybody walked along the road of all those woods you would find the guns that he threw out his car but nobody searched along the street he drove on

Even I who doesn'd know AM can tell that's his voice .

Judge Clifton Newman ROCKED!!!

Alex turned on his son Paul! And in return Paul solved his own Murder. Gotcha Dad!!!!!!!

I think he said “I did HIM so bad” and I think he was referring to paul

there's so many holes in alex's alibi when he said he left within mins before the murders, no matter how much you try to make it fit to make it make sense it just doesn't, just a infinite puzzle mystery loop

Nobody in the boat case would commit such a heinous crime. Only AM had motive.

Too much power often leads to this and families are still doing this. I don’t feel bad for them. Paul took someone’s life and was perfectly fine with them not getting justice although his actions caused her death and the mother taunted the dead girls mother saying they may never find her body . That entire family is evil and got what they deserved: buster is next. He will pay for killing Stephen smith and I hope stephens mother is still alive to see as his father died from a broken heart 3 months after he was brutally murdered.

You’re barely scratching the surface of this family. They have so many powerful connections in the law community that they think they’re above the law. Prosecuting Alex was just opening a can of worms. Maggie and Paul certainly were no saints and I’m sure more info will come out about them. I’m particularly interested in more of Buster’s skeletons in the closet coming out. Alex and Maggie by all accounts were terrible parents to Paul & Buster. They let them have too much freedom and no consequences for their actions. Paul went down a slippery slope of mistakes and Alex probably thought he was too much of a liability so he killed him. Not justifying Alex’s actions either. So much secrecy, lies, deception and narcissism in that family.

When you’re gonna put your dog down you try to give him a good last afternoon

1st, I am not a Lawyer. But I have been a juror several times. My feeling about why Mr. Waters spent so much time having points repeated and repeated. Since the jurors were not able to take notes at all, Mr. Waters wanted to make sure that the important points-the evidence and the lies- were hammered into their brains. IMHO The jury must have found some strength and peace with their decisions, guilty on all 4 counts, because of Judge Newman's very poignant and heartfelt agreement with them. Again IMHO I felt that the Judge 's ending statement to this man and the trial was outstanding and powerful. Telling AM that his wife and son would visit him every night for the rest of his natural life, when he was trying to go to sleep, was an image that took my breath away. I wouldn't want to be Alex Murdaugh for anything!

I believe that not only did he kill his wife & son, he in around about way killed his father. A father knows his son & I believe he knew his son killed them.

Anngenete is it plausible the reason Maggie and Alex phone didn’t match together is due to her leaving her phone in the golf cart because she didn’t show steps at kennels. When Alex killed them and returned to the house on golf cart noticed Maggie’s phone and knew he could go back down and leave it there. Her phone I believe tracked 52 steps which could be Alex taking it out the golf cart and putting it into his car. His phone still in the house at this point.

It was justice to finally see this monster in a used, frayed prison outfit. It must have made his skin crawl & that's a wonderful thing. His appeal threat is hollow. Less than 5% of murder convictions are overturned. Less than 1% of murder convictions are overturned when the defendant takes the stand. His ego will keep him where he belongs.

Clothes and guns are buried with his father.
