Heronnor McCaslin is a no-nonsense judge! She demonstrated her command of the facts and the courtroom today. I think both teams of attorneys are on notice that the up-coming trial will be a totally different narrative from the prior one.
I get the feeling Fits has become unapologetically one sided and pro Defense and Pro Murdaugh. What’s up with that?
I hope that is an answer to my prayer that those who pushed Richard Alexander Murdaugh’s (RAM) FALSE now-vacated convictions (and FITS was “unapologetically” one of those pushers when Malicious Mandy Matney [“MMM”] held sway) would see the truth, repent, and atone.
“What’s up with that?” you asked.
“The truth shall set you free.” I answer.
I am still praying for God’s miraculous light to touch the hearts of even MMM herself along with Ever-Bluffing Eric Bland (“EBEB”) and Mark the tiger Tinsley (“MTTT”) as it touched Zacchaeus, whom we meet in Luke 19:1-10.
Here we go: a third attempt to be heard:
At minutes 5:01 to 5:59, Will discloses that he is again buddy-buddy with Eric Bland. So, this comment of mine might be a red line for the newly-coopted Will.
One way to find out is to paste and see if Will lets it through:
? @jackmack1670 , the “whole story” may include Malicious Mandy Matney (“MMM”) putting together a shooting cabal then conveniently taking a vacation off shore, with her podcasting equipment which she IMMEDIATELY began using THE MINUTE Liz Farrell phoned her to announce Paul and Maggie’s demise.
My opinion free from false humility goes towards the Stephen Smith hysteria and the Satterfield matter.
For your convenience, I paste my reply to ?@MoreLeeJenn:
first, thanks for the civil tone of your question and statement.
Next, that you “never heard” some facts does NOT mean they do not exist, only that they were cleverly disguised. So, please, read carefully and check after me to your mind’s content, as I have arranged them chronologically as best I could:
(1) Gloria Satterfield (a) was a poorly-managed chronic diabetic, (b) was in TERMINAL renal failure, (c) had dizziness and a car collision the day before her fall at Moselle, (d) was NOT at Moselle to collect a check from Libby Murdaugh, (e) did Not encounter dogs that day at Moselle, (f) did NOT sustain life-threatening injuries from her fall at Moselle, (g) was IMMEDIATELY transported to hospital where her injuries could and should have been IMMEDIATELY diagnosed and treated with knowledge and permission of her NEXT OF KIN, which is Tony himself, NOT Alex, (h) remained in hospital for THREE WHOLE WEEKS after her fall at Moselle, during which she regained consciousness and improved enough to be taken out of intensive care, AND (i) suffered a myocardial infarction (heart attack) MUCH more likely due to her terminal pre-existing conditions than to her fall at Moselle.
ALL THE FOREGOING is documented in a FEDERAL law suit brought by the insurance company Nautilus, in the medical records revealed, and depositions taken for, that law suit.
(2) Tony Satterfield (a) was NOT a boy but a grown 35-year old FULLY EMPLOYED man, (b) was NOT dependent on his mother for his livelihood, (c) fully aware of his mother’s pre-existing conditions, (d) often bought her medications for her, (e) PROBABLY signed off on the do-not-resuscitate, AND (f) KNEW from Mandy Matney’s courthouse research and media publications that the case had already been settled BEFORE sending Alex Murdaugh that email feigning an innocent inquiry about the case.
ALL the foregoing is documented in Tony Satterfield’s own testimony in Alex’s first trial, in Becky Hill’s book (which I acquired and read before it was withdrawn from publication), and Mandy Matney’s book “Blood on their Hands.”
(3) Herriot, Tony’s (half?) brother was not that severely disabled but was collecting disability which was NOT reduced or affected by Gloria’s death. That, too, is fully documented in the above sources.
Now that I have taken the time to carefully answer your questions, please do me the courtesy of at least acknowledging my response with continued civility.
The real grievance is Creighton Waters’ unwillingness to let go of his prized false conviction of Alex Murdaugh after Creighton gave THE trifecta-winning performance in closing argument and created imaginary scenarios, motives, and psychiatric illnesses which the jury and the public bought and applauded as they would have Laurence Olivier’s Hamlet talking to his murdered father’s ghost.
A good actor not only can make the phone book interesting, but can also convince you that every third address in that phone book is the site of an alien abduction.
And so it goes.
Sanctimonious Sandy Smith’s (“SSS”) imaginary story of Stephen having been “murdered” at his car and carried three miles without a drop of blood at the yellow Chevy Aveo or along that imaginary trail to where he was found with fresh streams of blood consistent with his having suffered a skull fracture there and then is taken completely from the plot of the movie In the Heat of the Night, not from reality.
Also, performer Waters’ dancing and prancing pounded into the jury and the public that Paul was shot first and Maggie was shot as she was running towards him, “her baby.”
That is utter nonsense as explained in this reply of mine on your WIR on YouTube:
? @janemartin229 , no, No, NO! All three DNA quantifications ARE already KNOWN to be from a MALE not of the Murdaugh line, meaning not Alex, not Paul, not Buster, not John Marvin, AND NOT “a dog.”
That “running toward her son who’d just been gunned down” is FICTION based on nothing other than Creighton Waters’ dancing and prancing in closing argument.
That imaginary “run” is belied by the Prosecution’s OWN timeline.
You see: the time between Paul’s last reading of a text on his phone and Maggie’s last reading of a text on her phone is EXACTLY 8 SECONDS. That is seconds, NOT minutes.
So, the other REALISTIC scenario is that an accomplice of the REAL shooters wrestled Maggie’s phone from her hand(s) to prevent her from calling for help, ran away with it ON FOOT or on the golf cart and hid it BY HAND where it was found the next morning through Alex’s cooperation with law enforcement.
Only AFTER that accomplice returned on foot, were Maggie, then Paul (who was in the feed room when he heard the shots and started moving towards the sounds) shot.
So, it only makes sense that Maggie was shot BEFORE Paul, even though she read her last text 8 seconds later than he read his. The time of reading the last text CANNOT BE the time of the shooting.
Think about it PLEASE.
Creighton Waters’ pretense of jealousy for candor to the tribunals and of exasperation over repeated discovery demands from the defense rings hollow to me due to my experience with Waters’ bosses and now-colleagues who moved to SCAG from the City of Columbia and from Barney Giese’s office.
First, this particular FARO file was NEVER sought before the first trial because Moselle itself had not yet been sold with parts torn down.
Problems occur when discovery runs into the 100s or 1000s of pages. An ill-willed producing party can strategically withhold crucial pages and hope the receiving party does not notice. That apparently happened in the Murdaugh SLED DNA reports where nothing was apparently initially said about nail clippings from Maggie’s right hand.
Having said that, though, Mr. Harpootlian’s mind wanders often and he often does not finish the thought in opening arguments, in examination of witnesses, and in responses to the court. Alex’s defense team will do well to make more room for the younger members, specially those untainted by “service” as prosecutors.
And of course, no response of mine can be complete without reference to what Hatchet-for-Hire Heather (Sarah Heather Savitz Weiss) did to me when she tried but, thank God, failed to frame me on FALSE harassment charges with intent to, God forbade, incarcerate me for 36 years. Yes, thirty-six.
Hatchet-for-Hire Heather had me FALSELY arrested on 2 December 2009, the very morning AFTER I had appeared for a 1 December 2009 day-long evidentiary injunction hearing before now-retired SC Circuit Judge Lee and told her that there is a conspiracy afoot among my opponents in the civil litigation to get me falsely arrested but Judge Lee looked at me as if I were one those deranged conspiracy theorists and took the matter under advisement, one of those very opponents in the civil litigation led a team of 10, yes TEN, Columbia Police Department (“CPD”) officers to arrest me and rob my apartment and car of evidence, NOT of any crime they pretended I committed, but of evidence I had in the pending civil litigation against private people AND against the City of Columbia ITSELF. Hatchet-for-Hire Heather was then being paid $70K/year IN ADDITION TO her 5th-circuit assistant solicitor salary, to be the City’s prosecutor in the circuit solicitor’s office. She also applied for the warrants against me, which is a no-no for a prosecutor: only a sworn law enforcement officer is allowed to seek a warrant from a neutral magistrate.
But “neutral” is foreign language in the City of Columbia where the ministerial recorder serves at the pleasure of the municipal court’s chief judge who in turn serves at the pleasure of the city council, which in turn approves Hatchet-for-Hire’s annual $70K “bonus” to be the City’s prosecutor in the solicitor’s office. That arrangement is not only unethical but also violates South Carolina’s prohibition on dual office holding.
But again, laws and ethics never mattered for the City of Columbia and its “special” prosecutor.
And to show something for her $70K/year bonus, Hatchet-for-Hire Heather had me FALSELY arrested AGAIN on 12 December 2009, after I had bonded out of the FALSE 2 December 2009 arrest, in order to, God forbade, revoke my bond. Thank God and without a lawyer, I later got all the criminal charges underlying both arrests dismissed WITH PREJUDICE.
Back to discovery, though, because after Hatchet-for-Hire Heather’s initial plan to keep me in permanent pre-trial detention failed, and she knew she had NO TRUE evidence to try me on, she planned to never try me and keep me permanently under horrendous bond conditions. To counter that, I appeared on 11 January 2010 before now-retired SC Circuit Judge Gafford Thomas Cooper, Jr. and told him I wanted to challenge the constitutionality of South Carolina’s statute which gives complete control of the criminal docket to the circuit solicitor.
Again, I was ahead of the law; and that statute was later held unconstitutional in State v. Langford. In reality, though, prosecutors still control the criminal docket; but details of that are for another day.
On that 11 January 2010, I told Judge Cooper I still have no discovery AT ALL. Hatchet-for-Hire Heather responded that there is discovery sitting at the front desk of the solicitor’s office waiting for me pick it up.
So, I went and was asked to sign for it. I responded that I cannot sign before I review it. In the middle of my review of the documents, Hatchet-for-Hire Heather appeared with a scowl on her face and a member of the public defender’s office also appeared and advised me to leave before Heather goes “overboard” and gets me arrested AGAIN for reviewing discovery before signing for it.
As always, I do not write or say anything related to these serious matters without documentary support.
It turns out that the discovery I was given before my 22-26 February 2010 jury trial (presided over by none other that Judge Clifton Newman) was missing key documents which I saw only in preparation for the retrial which never happened after Judge Newman had to declare a mistrial shortly before midnight on Friday, 26 February 2010, after the jury TWICE returned hopelessly deadlocked.
To THIS DAY, I do not have a copy of those documents and have been threatened with contempt of court if I sought them.
And TO THIS DAY no one, including Hatchet-for-Hire’s colleagues and bosses in SCAG’s office have seen fit to look into Hatchet-for-Hire’s DOCUMENTED subornation of perjury against me and her LYING to Judge Clifton Newman and me about the criminal records of the Prosecution’s witnesses.
So, Creighton Waters’ theatrics about Mr. Harpootlian’s supposed lie about Alex’s lie detector ring hollow to me.
Alan Wilson, Creighton Waters, Donald Zelenka, remove the logs from your own eyes before seeking to remove the splinters from your brethren’s eyes!
