This thing just keeps getting crazier as the layers are uncovered. I can see this becoming a made for TV or documentary. Anyone else following this??

Prominent lawyer shot and hurt months after wife, son slain

Brief rundown:
(1) College kid Paul Murdaugh, in lowcountry, drives boat drunk, kills girl a couple years ago.
(2) Family is connected, they evade prosecution to date.
(3) Murdaugh and his mother were murdered at a hunting cabin a few months ago.
(4) Now the father is shot.

Then there is this....

In 2015 when a local gay teen that was allegedly connected to Murdaugh's oldest son was murdered.

Then their housekeeper mysteriously died after she "tripped" at their home in 2018.

Then you get to the drunk boating accident that killed Mallory Beach.

That puts the body count at 5, at least.

It makes sense. They were on to him, he was at least trying to help his (last I assume) kid. He was f’d.

If he were dead and they found out he had arranged it, it makes perfect sense. But he’s still alive with a superficial wound. It just smells funny to me, but I think there is more to come out so stay tuned.

Netflix docuseries just dropped. It's good. I started watching it without realizing I knew the story, more or less, already. Took me a whole episode to figure it out.

Just watched the three episodes last night. Interesting that Alex Murdaugh’s brothers were all very helpful in sweeping things his kids did under the rug and keeping them out of court, but only when he embezzled money from the law firm they were all a part of did they push him out. If investigators can solve the Stephen Smith death, I think the oldest Murdaugh son will be joining his dad in prison. The whole family are straight up psychopaths.

I watched the series on HBO MAX about this. I haven't watched the one on Netflix. Nothing this family did surprised me. Really a bunch of lowlifes benefitting from who they were in the community until it finally caught up with them with the dad. Who knows about the surviving son?I might have to check out the Netflix series to see what's different.

CNN —
Alex Murdaugh’s defense in his double murder trial rested its case Monday after calling up 14 witnesses over about two weeks of testimony.
Monday’s testimony was headlined by an expert in crime scene reconstruction and blood spatter analysis who testified that the evidence suggests two shooters carried out the killings of Margaret and Paul Murdaugh in June 2021.
Timothy Palmbach, a former professor of forensic science at the University of New Haven, was hired by Alex Murdaugh’s defense to review the case and analyze the crime scene.
In defending his two-shooter theory, he noted that Paul was shot by a shotgun and Margaret was shot by a Blackout rifle. He also determined the shooting of Paul came first and was from such a close range that the shooter would have been temporarily stunned by the explosive violence.
“It’s structurally difficult for the shooter to have two long (weapons) and no practical reason for that to happen,” he testified. “Add that to what I believe happened to the shooter who fired first with the shotgun, and I think it tips in favor of the probability of two shooters.”

Is it just me or is the prosecution and judge doing everything possible to have this thing tossed on appeal? It amazes me what this judge is allowing in blatant disregard for basic trial standards.

I'd wager that judge has had a lucritive career courtesy of Murdaugh.

Why tho?

I think what happened is Alex's whole world is falling apart and Bo and maybe Mom get into it with him about Gloria and the truth comes out or Bo reveals he's gonna tell authorities about his suspicions and then Alex kills them both. Brandon's not there.

That's just my $0.02
