The answer is that Alex did NOT kill Paul or Maggie because they were shot closer to 9:30 than to 8:49. Ein Punkt.
To one of the rare polite and open-minded commenters on Jen Wood’s interview with Phil Barber, here is my reply:
@DayandBayNana08 , I will only answer 3 and 5 for you because there is OBJECTIVE evidence to give you.
Blanca testified that Richard Alexander Murdaugh (“RAM”) wore long kaki pants and a blue shirt under some sport coat when he left for work around noon on 7 June 2021.
We know FOR SURE that each of RAM and Paul returned to Moselle from their different work locations around 7:00 pm and rode together around Moselle for an hour or so.
Paul made a video of himself laughing at his father standing before a sapling he had planted but failed to support; so that sapling was falling. RAM is wearing a blue shirt and long kaki pants in that sapling video.
Also, Blanca testified that she found long kaki pants on the floor of the bathroom the morning of 8 June 2021 and laundered them.
Problem of RAM’s day outfit solved.
The next outfit in which we see RAM on video consists of a white T-shirt and green shorts. He wore them to Almeda, according to RAM’s mother’s night caregiver. We see them on the bodycams of the officers who responded to RAM’s 911 call upon his return from Almeda. RAM gave the T-shirt and shorts to those officers who gave them to SLED who analyzed them and testified about them at trial.
Problem of RAM’s night outfit solved.
I do not know what is missing unless someone has evidence of a missing outfit in between.
As to your question (5), the clothes Maggie wore to the kennels went with her body to the autopsy which, according to the officers searching the Moselle house started THAT NIGHT or early the next morning.
What Blanca SAYS she saw on the floor the next morning are some CLEAN pajamas and underwear of Maggie’s PROBABLY laid there by some of the Murdaugh family members and some of the lawyers’ wives who HURRIEDLY descended on Moselle after they heard the news and thought they might spend the night there to comfort and protect RAM. Except that RAM, Buster, and Brooklyn (Buster’s then girlfriend, now wife and mother of RAM’s first grandchild, also called RAM) could not stand to spend the night at Moselle and went to Almeda.
I cannot help you with the cleaners because I do not believe there were any cleaners other than the REAL shooters who lay in waiting until RAM left for Almeda at 9:07 pm. I believe the real shooters went armed with previously-stolen family guns to scare some confession and/or some settlement out of Paul and Maggie; and when things got out of hand, they shot them very unprofessionally.
You asked politely and this is a civil response SUPPORTED BY THE ACTUAL TESTIMONY AT TRIAL; and I hope you take it in that spirit.
? If the Mushelle Smith nonsense impresses you, here is my reply:
@janepipkin8139 , first, you’re assuming every Prosecution witness told and the absolute truth and could not have been mistaken or misunderstood things in any way.
Next, that whole Mushelle Smith testimony was one more red herring by the Prosecution. It has no importance whatsoever because the EXACT times of Alex’s departure from Moselle to Almeda and return back are known TO THE SECOND from the phone and vehicle On-Star data; and Alex knew it, too; so, it would have been stupid AND USELESS for him to ask Mushelle to say something different.
Third, someone interested in getting Alex convicted started a Go-Fund-Me page for Mushelle WHILE SHE WAS TESTIFYING.
If that is your “overwhelming evidence,” it is overwhelming of a thoroughly corrupt trial.
