  1. This prosecutor is horrible. He missed an easy got ya… Mr. Murdaugh you said your family was in danger of being attacked after the boat accident… You said you called your wife and son while they were at the kennel and they didn't answer, correct?… Then why didn't you get your fat a$$ down to the kennel to see if they were alright?… Instead, of checking on them, you drove to your mother's house?

  2. Doctors make the worst patients. Teachers make the worst students. Criminals make the worst cops.

  3. I kinda do think he did it because what are the odds a hitman came unless he owed his dealer money too

  4. Murdaugh or Murdoch… all Republican crooks

  5. Murdaugh has a trail of death, embezzlement and murder in his wake that reaches back 20 years.

  6. I would love for someone to explain to me why this Alex Murdaugh murder trial is such a big deal.
    State courts conduct an estimated 46,200 civil trials annually and federal courts conduct an additional 2,100 civil jury trials. What's so special about this case ?

  7. He’s guilty- next!

  8. I wonder how he is going to live.

  9. This guy is a drug addict. If he’s not, he’s got some real issues. He’s definitely a liar. Watch his micro and macro expressions.

  10. Mister Bean has Better news than This.

  11. Breaking News every where and you show this . Show the news and you will get more than 34 likes. This is a way to cover up the blunders of the Regime.

  12. Of the many homicides that sadly occur too often, why is this one getting so much media attention?

  13. certainly has the skills to JB's press sec.

  14. Blistering?? This prosecutor is a JOKE!!!! I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news to everyone who is so team Waters but this man and his strategy are pathetic. He got chewed up and spit out by Alex on the stand yesterday and today. He has clearly been waiting for this cross for 1.75 years and this is what he did with it. What a joke. He got out lawyer by Alex. He had a big ego and got smashed. It seems like everyone has forgot this is a MURDER trial. What a sorry excuse for a prosecutor

  15. The last word I would use to describe this cross examination is 'blistering'. This guy's gonna walk regardless of his guilt on a hung jury.

  16. I can't wait to see the Obidens trial, that's the one that matters.

  17. As a Communications instructor and an expert on non-verbals, he's really screwed. Couldn't be much-less convincing.

  18. Anyone who lies so much, idk, how can you find in their favor.. unbelievable..

  19. He will get kos in jail or suicided stupid lawyer

  20. If he didn't do it then who did?

  21. Deplorable Republicans ignorant by choice. Mitch McConnell. Says. Nazi. Pelt. Is. Best. For. Eating. L. U. M. E. Deodorants. For. Stinking. Republican. Traitors 🦨🦨

  22. So did he recall hearing gunshots that night?
