Murdaugh/SC Murder Trial

[tea and ease]

I saw a thread and was curious about it. I thought the SJers I know and whose opinions and thoughts I respect might provide some insight.

But thanks for gatekeeping it.

It reads like I did a wrong thing... If "gatekeeping" is asking a question, I apologize. My question was real.

People who start with nothing and have ****ty lives is not news. People who have everything and turn their life to **** is interesting to the general public.

Man bites dog.

But his defense attorney referenced the lord and savior in preliminary phases of this cretin’s trial.

Believe it or not, people aren’t cardboard cutouts determined only by their politics.

According to the Oracle of Wife Killing, we can move on to the next crime story.

"I committed a lot of other crimes but not this one" and "sure I lied about being near the scene of the crime, but the rest of my story is true" are not the foundations of a strong criminal defense.

I love that SC is going to prosecute this POS for his financial crimes
Murdaugh will be like the guy Richard Pryor met who was doing triple life
“Triple life. That means when you die, and come back, your ass goes to the penitentiary.”

Murdaugh most foul.

He's 54 years old and sentenced to two consecutive life sentences. I'm certain he'll appeal, but he may get shived before then by one of the people he put in the same prison where he'll be serving time. Cons don't get mad. They get even.

 

[swingline]

Would he even be in genpop?

I'm telling you, that Netflix doc is something. Paul, of course, didn't deserve this fate, but wow, he was a piece of ****, too.

Father figure, for sure.

Bye, Fellatio.

Guess we know which club he's joining next.

Double Murdaugh was the case that they gave him.

 

[SixToe]

I'm surprised, a bit, that it wasn't a hung jury. No clothing or firearms for evidence, I thought, would sway at least one or two jurors.

But the video on the kid's phone of POS being on the scene must've been a clincher.

I don't see him living long in prison. That's too bad, because I hope he decays into a puddle of drug-fueled raped-ass goo in a cell in about 30 or 40 years.

I'm thinking it was more a style decision. With that red hair and ruddy face, the yellow jumpsuit just screams "Ronald McDonald".

Prison policy is shaved head upon entry.

The South Carolina Supreme Court has overturned the murder convictions of Alex Murdaugh, who was found guilty of killing his wife and younger son, finding that the court clerk's "improper external influence" on the jury denied him a fair trial.

 

[tapintoamerica]

He's gonna walk. The jury in his retrial will decide he has suffered long enough. It's South ****ing Carolina.

 

[DanOregon]

He's not going to walk. The murder uncovered other financial crimes that will keep him locked up for a while. And yeah, the clerk royally screwed the verdict.
