I haven’t been able to follow every second of this trial, but… Right now I am about one hour south of Walterboro, SC. There are quite a few people around here who know the Murdaugh family personally and/or they have been able to follow this trial more closely than I have.
They all say Alex Murdaugh is as guilty as sin of the murder of his wife and son. Justice has been served.
Thanks for the local report, FRiend. It’s been a fascinating tale to follow. I work so was unable to follow the trial a lot but saw parts of it on YouTube. Believe it or not, Reddit has had an excellent thread on this since day one. I learned a lot from locals. There were differing views in the beginning, but over time the consensus was- he did it.
Unrelated- sort of. Today on my way home I heard part of an interview someone did with OJ Simpson about this case. Unreal, right? He was discussing evidence, reasonable doubt like a freakin lawyer. Creepy!
I found it interesting is he was the ‘only’ suspect pretty much from the get go.....when there’s money involved it’s not uncommon at all the family members are the first ones police will suspect.
Alex' younger brother John Marvin Murdaugh lives down east in Okatie. He's the non-attorney in the family. Owns Murdaugh Equipment Rentals and Kubota Dealership, with locations in Okatie and Hampton.
The judge was remarkable. If I get in trouble, I hope I get him.
