I have also been following the trial everyday for at least part of the day. Its one of those deals that your gut tells you he likely did it but personally I just don’t get the motive. And it was such a brutal murder. It was more like an assassination.
I figure either he did it hopped up on oxy or he got sideways with a drug cartel and they set him up real good. Alex was spending $50,000 to $60,000 per week on oxycontin. I think an oxy pill goes for about $15 so no way he consumed that much. He had to be dealing.
I believe the impending boat accident civil suit would be less able to get to him and his financial records if his son, the boat operator, was dead. At least in his mind.
So what does a seasoned attorney do? He trades a civil suit which is defensible to avoid a financial investigation and decides to kill his family for a double homicide investigation, which he knew without any doubt he would be considered the prime suspect and every aspect of his life would be revealed. NO WAY.

Yes, the pill situation makes no sense.
“I believe the impending boat accident civil suit would be less able to get to him and his financial records if his son, the boat operator, was dead. At least in his mind.“

That was definitely in his mind.
“It is a real life mystery (albeit not much of a mystery) and people like mysteries.
Mostly they are waiting to see if he can wiggle out of being punished for murder.

I’m a mystery reader, and I’m waiting to see if he can wiggle out of this.
Still can't figure out why he would do it?
True, but like Dr. Scarpetta, I watch Court TV to get away from politics.
Too many 'stories' - political or otherwise - are just someone's opinion.
Soft start to the cross.
Excellent coverage. Viewers don’t miss a moment of the trial.
This is a state case, as far as I know the presidential power to pardon applies only to federal offenses, federalism and all that.

Thank you for saying that.
I live in PA and now I’m ruled by fascists here, even though I worked hard to get Republicans elected. I’m tired of politics.
Watching this trial has been a new experience, and I find it fascinating.
I came here via Drudge during the Clinton scandals.

Wow. Those were exciting times. We’re old-timers.
As long as, (unlike a certain Tarot Reader) you do not falsely accuse innocent people it is a fairly harmless one.
And it keeps the little gray cells buzzing.
Yes....we sure are.
True!
Judge Jeanine just said she thinks he did it.
Never underestimate the lefts ability to jack the system
Prosecutor: Did you steal money from your client, a double amputee?
Murdaugh: She was quadriplegic.
