I loved the ending, from his recorded jail phone call: "Did Netflix put something out about this?"Just finished the Netflix documentary on the case. Alex was a real POS.

It’s gonna get him an acquittal.Murdaugh should be up for an Oscar with the performance he gave on the stand.
Yup.Murdaugh should be up for an Oscar with the performance he gave on the stand.
Watch the documentary.Has the prosecution proved beyond a reasonable doubt that he did it? I haven't heard all the other testimony or about any evidence, but I can see where there is doubt.
I read or heard somewhere else that it's the 2 weapons being used that will acquit him. What murderer uses 2 different guns to shoot 2 different people? It doesn't make sense. Now, with that being said, this guy is a lawyer himself, so he'd probably know that would throw suspicion away from him if he did do it. Seems rather complicated to me.

The blackout is missing, and the 12 gauge cannot be positively identified as the shotgun that was used. The Blackout missing has been a huge part of the prosecutors inference of guilt because it was 'replaced' with another by Alex. Shotgun ballistics really don't exist due to the nature of the smooth bore and plastic hull. MattIf 2 individuals, with 2 guns kill the wife and son, why would they leave the 2 guns behind then flee?
There's a lack of direct, forensic evidence linking him to the shooting, it's all circumstantial it seems.
But it's all pretty questionable.

Rifle in Alex Murdaugh murder trial remains unaccounted for, prosecutors say
In a major revelation in Alex Murdaugh's double murder trial, state investigators disclosed Jan. 24 they believe they know what gun killed Maggie Murdaugh. They just don’t know where itwww.postandcourier.com
WALTERBORO — State investigators believe they know what gun killed Maggie Murdaugh. They just don’t know where it is.Can’t read article….
Regardless, there is no identified murder weapon in this case. I don't 'netflix' so I can't watch it. If the special came out during the trial, it isn't complete. The 'ONSTAR' information was literally just made available by GM late in the trial.There was a video guy that showed drone video of family friends apparently removing guns from the premises after the double murder...Alex still had the police in his pocket at that point and they believed his story. It wasn't until the insurance money theft came out that the whole thing crumbled. See the Netflix show for details...
The family basically owned the town, which is why they got away with everything for years. Much was also covered on a Dateline type show in the past.Regardless, there is no identified murder weapon in this case. I don't 'netflix' so I can't watch it.

The blackout is a guess as far as ballistics and brass. They have no rifle to compare it to.
The shotgun cannot be ruled either way.
The guy is an absolute POS but if he gets convicted based on the trial presented so far it is a miscarriage of justice.
ETA: He has no convictions of the financial crimes. With what he has confessed to on the stand he most likely won't stand trial on those crimes. There will be a life altering, freedom ending, plea deal. He is going to jail for the rest of his life.
Going to club-fed as double murderer of your family vs 'financial crimes' are vastly different. He is betting on the latter.

I hate circumstantial cases. Reasonable doubt vs all doubt is a problem for the jury. Watching lawyers closing statements are self-serving by nature but those and jury instructions should be interesting. I'll have to catch up on today's testimony later.The fact that he lied, and admitted to having lied about that night, is going to put the nail in the coffin. He is a liar. The prosecutor will remind the jury that he is a liar. The prosecutor will remind the jury that he only admitted to having lied when the lie was exposed. He may as well have google searched "how to dispose of .300 blackout rifle and shotgun after murdering wife and son".
Every case that doesn't involve being caught in the act is a circumstantial case.I hate circumstantial cases.
No, not at all. There are cases where nobody saw them doing something, but there is direct evidence that ties them to the crime: murder weapon, fingerprints, blood, etc.Every case that doesn't involve being caught in the act is a circumstantial case.
buying off some jurors will get him at least a hung jury.It’s gonna get him an acquittal.
No, those are still circumstantial: they are not direct evidence.No, not at all. There are cases where nobody saw them doing something, but there is direct evidence that ties them to the crime: murder weapon, fingerprints, blood, etc.
Circumstantial evidence is stuff like he was in the vicinity at the time of the murder, he owned a gun like used in the murder but he doesnt have it anymore, or we didn't find any bloody clothes but somebody saw him throw a bag in a bonfire.
