Man, that son lost everything. Mom and brother murdered. Dad likely involved and now is likely going to prison for insurance fraud. Money is likely all gone. And by name alone his reputation will be ruined for life.It looks like it was a staged "hit" so his son could collect a 10 million dollar insurance claim.

Life certainly comes at you fastMan, that son lost everything. Mom and brother murdered. Dad likely involved and now is likely going to prison for insurance fraud. Money is likely all gone. And by name alone his reputation will be ruined for life.
A very odd story that keeps getting odder by the day.his wife and one of his son's were shot to death in June. unsolved. very "well-to-do" family in South Carolina.
When they said Mark Davis is worth $500m the first thing I thought was "dude, stop with the clown look". Somebody gotta step and tell him, right? I mean you can't get up in the morning, throw the Sonny Crocket Miami Vice ensemble on, check the mirror on the way out, shoot your finger gunz at the reflection and think, "yeah...####### nailed it" right?I still can't get over how ugly this guy is. He and Mark Davis are 1A 1B in dudes with enough money to look at least a little better. Jesus.

Buster possibly had something to do with the Stephen Smith death that preceded all of this. Investigation was reopened into that as well.GroveDiesel said:Man, that son lost everything.

The images don't look like he was shot at all. So strange.r/MurdaughFamilyMurders is on fire!
this thread is full of juicy local and unsubstantiated gossipr/MurdaughFamilyMurders is on fire!
Not sure how you don't have Howdy Doody in there - is it because Howdy had better hair?Mark Davis looks like the ******* love child of Eric Stoltz from Mask and a mushroom.
Howdy Doody isn't a bloated whale.Not sure how you don't have Howdy Doody in there - is it because Howdy had better hair?

So any chance he killed his wife and son and this was to help cover it up? First thing I thought of.
He suffered a grazed shot to his head while changing his tire?
Good job, Columbo.
You liked my original post so not sure if you're being sarcastic or not.
Bumping this because I'm so engrossed by the trial. Alex Murdaugh took the stand today in his defense, which should be wrapping up this week. I was pretty convinced he murdered his wife & son going into the trial so I started biased but the evidence presented over the last few weeks just further solidified my belief. I personally think it removes reasonable doubt but again, I'm biased. The prosecution ended their case last Friday with a timeline overlaid with GM OnStar tracking information of his vehicle the night of the murder which sealed it for me. His defense hasn't brought anything to the table this week that made doubt any of the evidence presented so far. They proposed one or possibly two small people (5' 2" or shorter) did the killing based on the kill shot on Paul. It's almost been laughable at times.
Regardless how it goes, he'll never not be in jail but it would be satisfying to see him held responsible for these unnecessary deaths that were perpetrated just to divert attention away from his mountain of financial crimes and put an end to the boat case.
I was watching some of it today and he started by saying he lied about not being at the kennels where they were killed. He then went on to say he had to keep lying because he was afraid of the police. At the time, he was a badge carrying solicitor who worked side-by-side with these same police he feared. His son sent a Snapchat 4 minutes before he was killed (unbeknownst to Alex). Until that came out, Alex was adamant he wasn't anywhere near the kennels, napping at the main home. Now he admits to lying about that under oath. I just don't understand how he thought taking hte stand would help his case when he leads with, "I was lying from the start".It's hard for me to imagine he's doing himself any favors by testifying, but maybe someone will believe him.

Same here; the punishment I believe befits someone who kills his wife and child is cruel, unusual and uncool; so I won't post it here.I was pretty convinced he murdered his wife & son going into the trial so I started biased but the evidence presented over the last few weeks just further solidified my belief
Irrelevant details are one thing that investigators are taught to evaluate when assessing someone's truthfulness.He's been on the stand all day and remembers in great detail the events of the night of the killings. Spent a lot of time describing where the dogs were outside, and what birds they were chasing. Invented an entirely new nickname for son Paul he probably killed, which he never used at any time in any police interview or other questioning: "Paul Paul". When it came to questioning him about anything else, especially financial crimes, he claimed he didn't remember anything due to his opiod use. Described all the people he defrauded in detail and how much he cared about the, but never remembered any detail about how he stole their money.
His trial is on TV again tomorrow. "Crazy Liar's New Stories"
I saw Mandy Matney ask how much is 2000mg of Oxytocin? Did Murdaugh claim he was taking that much daily?He tells everyone he was on so may drugs he didn't know which way was up and which way was down, it might work as a defense.
He testified as much as 30 a day if I heard him correctly.I saw Mandy Matney ask how much is 2000mg of Oxytocin? Did Murdaugh claim he was taking that much daily?He tells everyone he was on so may drugs he didn't know which way was up and which way was down, it might work as a defense.
I'm not familiar but isn't that enough to kill a city block?
I suppose and I'm saying this as someone who has made up their mind already, I don't know how the jury reconciles all the lies upon lies upon lies along with the technological evidence introduced last week and think it was anybody but Alex Murdaugh.He testified as much as 30 a day if I heard him correctly.
Murdaugh is going to make it difficult to convict him.
He is looking right into that jury and talking to them from the stand.
Even when the prosecutor is summarizing Murdaugh's words, it feels like he is being a bully, too emotional.
He needs to be more matter of fact and then pour it on in the closing arguments.
Murdaugh is going to draw some sympathy with how this is unfolding.
For those that don't know the story, it's almost too fantastical to believe. There will be at least one major motion picture made about it and probably countless books. There's a Netflix special on it now and HBO Max special from a month or so ago if you want to get the high level synopsis of what's going on. I started following this when the Murdaugh Murders podcast started about 3-4 years ago. I want to look away but the is just too much for me.Hadn’t heard about this at all until reading about it in a month-old New Yorker article
Knowing nothing at all about Murdaugh and the case ... I listened to about 30 minutes of his testimony yesterday. It was the part where the prosecutor was trying to get Murdaugh to admit that he misused his quasi-law-enforcement badges, plus a few minutes before and after.Murdaugh is going to make it difficult to convict him.

There has certainly been grounds for criticism of the prosecution. Waters has never tried a murder case let alone one where they literally had to take down the picture of the defendants grandfather in the courtroom prior to the trial.Prove the specific charge or move on.
Exactly, hate to say it but this is entertaining to watch it or listen to it live, maybe all trials are done this way but here we have a very rich family and for some reason the fact they are upper class snobs seems to add a little more to the story than there already is. In fact I would say money made them even more evil in general.For those that don't know the story, it's almost too fantastical to believe.
