00:05:27.400
ones right now are the atlanta child murders i told you there is a documentary on what the what
00:05:31.940
child atlanta child murders atlanta child murders okay that's a new one i haven't heard that one okay
00:05:36.980
it's it's an i have i have mentioned to you before but yeah it's on netflix okay there's a whole
00:05:42.100
documentary on netflix and it's a huge case okay um there was memphis tree remember we read it last
00:05:47.820
time we were here west memphis three kids that were west memphis yes yes yes yes that's crazy
00:05:55.640
that's yeah the child murders yes yes uh i have john dolf okay yeah young dog it's highly requested
00:06:02.940
yeah uh aaron hernandez okay yep yep yep john benner ramsey of course okay we might do that one
00:06:10.260
tonight for you guys yes uh i have ed gain of course okay okay okay i've got the one that we're
00:06:17.620
doing tonight which is the more dorm orders um i have the baseline killer remember i told you about
00:06:23.680
that one yeah okay all right i think it's from arizona uh edmund kemper debbie beckowitz uh and also
00:06:32.280
there's there are a lot of people asking like um if we are gonna cover cases from outside the u.s
00:06:38.180
i talked to marion about it and he said yes so of course like the requests are open for like any
00:06:44.080
cases that you want to cover uh right now the most requesting one from canada is robert picton
00:06:49.380
okay that's that's like their jeffrey that's like their ted bundy if i'm not mistaken right
00:06:54.060
this is the most prolific serial killer in canada yeah okay so we might we might cover that one
00:06:59.160
and also the italian mafia yes the okay because i get asked about the mafia literally every day
00:07:05.680
guys yes the italian mafia is probably one of the most complex criminal organizations in u.s history
00:07:12.580
you got to understand there's layers to it and there's different crime families especially if
00:07:15.860
we're going to talk about the five crime families in new york city i'm very well aware of all the crime
00:07:21.060
families and how each organization worked i mean hell i even talked i touched on it with uh the
00:07:26.160
waddy bulger case as well uh it goes into massachusetts into rhode island into california
00:07:31.060
las vegas etc so for me to properly cover the mafia it's going to be a series okay and when i say
00:07:37.100
series it's going to be similar to what i did for 9-11 as y'all remember when 9-11 i did damn near six
00:07:41.500
or seven episodes one of them got taken down which i'm going to put back up for you guys eventually
00:07:44.580
but the point is is that it's going to have to be a series which means it's going to probably take me
00:07:49.340
one to two months to do la cosa nostra the whole way through where you guys are able to get
00:07:56.440
everything um and understand everything and i also got to figure out which videos that i'm going to
00:08:01.340
use which ones i'm not going to use which ones are going to be live which one are going to be
00:08:03.700
pre-recorded i'm probably going to have to pre-record all of them to be honest with y'all because
00:08:07.140
to use certain documentaries they're going to be lame on it uh with you know uh copyright and all the
00:08:12.820
other stuff so um it's difficult to live stream that stuff so i just got to figure out how i'm going to do
00:08:17.160
which documentaries i'm going to use but i've already established that this is going to take
00:08:21.100
easily four to eight weeks to do uh the italian mafia uh it's coming yeah i promise y'all it's
00:08:28.320
coming uh i've already started preparing for it um to a degree but if i'm going to do it i'm going to
00:08:35.360
make sure i do it right just like when 9-11 i gave y'all the official story right that's in the 9-11
00:08:40.040
commission i went over the fbi investigation in detail i went over how the cia found bin laden i went over
00:08:44.920
how the seal stormed the house and i also went over the conspiracy theories of you know was it
00:08:50.660
inside job etc and there's another part of 9-11 involved with them boys which i'm going to talk
00:08:56.600
about with ryan dawson okay uh there's a reason why a lot of these conspiracy theories didn't talk
00:09:00.640
about that certain connection if you know what i'm saying with them boys i'm not even going to say it
00:09:05.340
because we're on youtube but that's going to probably be rumble only for sure okay let's let me
00:09:10.400
know what i'm talking about angie knows what i'm talking about um but yeah guys uh so if i'm going
00:09:16.940
to do it i'm going to do it all the way thorough just like i did 9-11 okay unbiased from all
00:09:22.260
perspectives uh angie anything you want to say before we get into this one um i also have more
00:09:27.060
cases yeah of course and also people have been asking non-stop what them boys mean so can you break
00:09:34.060
it down without being no i can't say it here on youtube i can't like you can describe it man
00:09:39.500
like you can't like say a joke say a joke yeah i'm trying to think of a joke that i can say that
00:09:46.580
won't give it away another you something to give away to people to guess i think the guys in the
00:09:51.060
chat know what i'm talking about let's see here if anyone in the chat says uh people don't know
00:09:56.660
no i'm looking at the most people there are a lot of people that don't know i didn't know until
00:10:00.680
you told me hey man well actually actually myron didn't tell me yeah you figured it out right
00:10:07.560
my myron just pointed at them like those are the boys yeah man uh some people i see them chat yeah
00:10:16.060
the chat already knows what time it is the chat already knows what time it is
00:10:19.680
all right and you and and the thing is is that there was a significant involvement from them boys
00:10:26.420
boys when 9 11 and we're definitely going to talk about that where ryan dawson okay that's going
00:10:31.360
to be rumble only it's not going to touch youtube i'm not you can't even say nothing about them boys
00:10:36.660
if you know what i'm saying so anyway uh what are you going to say yeah the rest of the cases are uh
00:10:42.640
real quick here river park towers uh-huh it's a new rico indictment on d-tank so yeah that's another
00:10:48.900
highly requested d-tank i got you guys uh i already mentioned gabriel fernandez i think i don't know
00:10:54.520
gabriel fernandez monitor uh yeah the italy mafia and yeah that's it cool all right and and the 9 11
00:11:02.020
one just so y'all know that's probably going to be on fresh and fit with ryan dawson um and we're
00:11:06.120
also going to do the iraq wars you guys know it's been 20 years uh since the iraqi war we invaded iraq
00:11:10.620
back in 2003 uh march 20th to be exact so tomorrow is going to be the uh 20th anniversary man so
00:11:17.060
we're going to definitely cover that as well with ryan dawson i'm really excited to do that
00:11:21.220
um with him uh but anyway um i think well without further ado we got almost a thousand you guys in
00:11:27.680
here so do me a quick favor go ahead like the video subscribe to the channel we're going to cover
00:11:30.840
the murdoch case for today guys okay so um what i'm going to do guys because um i'm going to put
00:11:37.620
detailed timestamps by the way for this case in the description for uh for this breakdown because
00:11:42.880
i ain't gonna lie to y'all when i was researching this case it was very annoying how disconjointed
00:11:49.080
people were that covered this case like one video gives you this another video gives you that
00:11:54.740
no one has everything in one place not even netflix yeah not even netflix yeah i watched the
00:12:00.660
whole documentary and disconjoined it everywhere like no one goes systematically through it so what
00:12:05.740
we're going to do on this podcast guys is we're going to go through everything for this to make
00:12:09.720
sense we're going to have to go through the murdoch family we're going to have to go through their
00:12:12.660
legacy we're going to have to go through the boating accident we're going to have to go through
00:12:15.660
stealing of the money we're going to have to go through the fake suicide attempt or slash murder
00:12:20.180
attempt we're going to have to go through the 9-1-1 call the trial the lies everything for this
00:12:26.120
to make sense because no one on youtube for some odd reason can organize everything and put it in
00:12:31.780
one-stop shop with timestamps so people can quickly go and find whatever they want pertaining to this
00:12:37.380
case and this fucking podcast is gonna do that we're gonna go ahead and get that done for y'all
00:12:43.280
so if y'all are watching live well sucks for you because you won't be able to skip around but
00:12:47.180
but when this thing is done you guys will have one video to go to that covers this case in its
00:12:54.600
entirety that makes sense of everything all right so uh anything you want to say before we get into
00:12:59.900
it yes right before you guys i i see you putting requests on the chat live chat um i will ask you to
00:13:06.840
put on the comments at the end like at the end of the video or just comments like regular comments
00:13:12.100
because that's easier for me to keep track on this on their requests like on the chat i'm not
00:13:17.000
sometimes i'm just talking here or i'm watching the videos and i cannot see it so i might miss them
00:13:22.640
so if you guys can like comment and on the way like the video so yeah you can do that thank you
00:13:28.500
all right that's it okay without further ado let's get right into it guys all right so who are the
00:13:34.680
murdochs okay the murdoch family is a prominent uh is prominent in the low country region of south
00:13:40.020
carolina three generations named randolph murdoch served consecutively as circuit solicitor
00:13:44.060
the elected prosecuting attorney guys a circuit solicitor in uh south carolina is just basically
00:13:49.620
another term for uh ada assistant district attorney or prosecutor okay on the state level not to be
00:13:55.500
confused with an assistant uh united states attorney aka a federal prosecutor i've broken this down for
00:14:00.340
you before there's state uh law enforcement and then there's federal law enforcement they were running
00:14:05.560
state law enforcement known as circuit solicitors which i know is strange i think south carolina
00:14:10.520
uses this term which is a little weird but it's nothing more than a state prosecutor for state
00:14:15.300
crime so they investigate you know everything from your low-level duis all the way up to murder okay
00:14:20.920
uh okay uh randolph murdoch serves consecutively as circuit solicitor the elected prosecuting attorney for
00:14:27.680
the state's 14 judicial district between 1920 and 2006 the family status led locals to call the five
00:14:33.120
county district murdoch country randolph murdoch senior randolph murdoch senior founded the civil
00:14:39.420
litigation firm that is now the perker law group llp in 1910 in hampton south carolina which now
00:14:46.080
specialized in personal injury litigation richard alex murdoch and other members of the murdoch family
00:14:51.140
have been the subject of investigations involving wrongful death murder corruption fraud witness
00:14:56.340
intimidation theft and drug and alcohol related charges 2019 alex's son paul murdoch and some of his
00:15:01.540
close friends were implicated in a fatal voting accident okay which we're going to talk about
00:15:05.740
that as well because this all plays into it but before we do let's go and this is the murdoch family
00:15:10.380
uh as you guys can see here's alex murdoch right here here's um paul murdoch okay and here is the
00:15:15.940
wife okay maggie maggie these two were murdered by him okay alex murdoch the father killed these two now
00:15:24.340
you guys might be wondering wait hold on why the hell would a father you know with a huge family
00:15:30.920
legacy money etc multi-millionaire successful kill his family well for you to understand this we're
00:15:36.860
going to go through the family history and then into what led to his downward spiral but
00:15:42.000
to understand the future or the present it's important to know the past
00:15:46.180
the murdochs are a powerful low country family for more than 85 years a murdoch has served as the
00:15:53.420
14th circuit solicitor the reign began in 1920 with randolph murdoch senior and ended in 2005 when randolph
00:16:01.600
randy murdoch iii retired between 1940 and 1986 randolph buster murdoch jr served as solicitor after his
00:16:10.560
father's death making him the longest serving solicitor in u.s history at that time randy continues
00:16:16.940
to work as a part-time solicitor for the office and his son richard alex alexander murdoch works
00:16:22.900
as a volunteer prosecutor in the circuit in south carolina a circuit solicitor is comparable to that
00:16:29.280
of a state or district attorney in other jurisdictions the 14th circuit solicitor's office covers five
00:16:35.520
counties in the low country allendale beaufort colleton hampton and jasper and prosecutes
00:16:42.980
5 000 cases per year ranging from misdemeanors to serious crimes such as murder and sexual assault
00:16:48.680
the murdoch family has also practiced law in hampton county for more than a century
00:16:53.960
randolph senior founded the family firm in 1910 and practiced civil law until he was tragically killed
00:17:00.220
by a train in 1940 like his father buster worked at the hampton law firm until his retirement in 1987
00:17:07.540
he was known across the state for his booming voice courtroom prowess and sending 14 men to death row
00:17:14.260
all right so as y'all can see these guys had a tight grip on this area of south carolina and it had been
00:17:22.200
going on for decades okay and having your claws deep in the entire law enforcement slash prosecution
00:17:29.840
world is a very powerful thing to have in your corner okay which is going to set the stage for
00:17:37.500
the ridiculousness that's about to come after this the murdoch family legacy of law continues with buster's
00:17:45.460
son and grandchildren three murdochs randy and sons randolph the fourth and alex are practicing attorneys at
00:17:51.720
the firm and one of their sons is currently attending law school the firm peters murdoch parker eltsroth and
00:17:59.380
dietrich which now includes offices in three count pimped oh lord
00:18:05.140
if y'all caught that if you see it you see it you know what i'm saying p-i-m-p without the i
00:18:13.940
and yes this is live live guys is known for winning multi-million dollar settlements for clients mostly
00:18:23.460
in lawsuits related to serious injuries and wrongful deaths the firm's expansion has only increased the
00:18:29.480
legal power and influence of the murdochs in south carolina and they made a lot of money guys from
00:18:34.260
suing railroad companies all across south carolina that's a big part of how they made so much money
00:18:42.160
all right cool so now y'all understand the history now we're gonna fast forward to 2019
00:18:51.540

accident accident yeah driving it accident yeah driving it drunk aka until now for this week's 48 hours
00:19:59.640
nikki patisse spoke with beach's aunt and a first responder who was at the scene of the crash
00:20:04.960
911 emergency we're in a boat crash on arches creek on february 24 2019 six young friends were out
00:20:15.400
partying on the beaufort river there's your boy right here okay and then this is the girl that ended
00:20:21.820
instead of getting killed malory and her boyfriend this guy right here in the blue shirt is the one who
00:20:26.560
called 911 that you guys are hearing right now this is the victim and here's paul murdoch as you guys
00:20:31.560
can tell from his bright red hair very easy to distinguish on a boat owned by the murdoch family
00:20:38.220
when they crashed on board was alex murdoch's 19 year old son paul what bridges paul what bridges
00:20:46.620
Read3 anthony anthony cook was an anthony anthony cook was there with his 19 year old girlfriend malory beach
00:20:51.600
Marley's aunt lynn revest the last thing she told me was she loved
00:20:55.720
twitch the last thing she told me was she loved
00:20:58.640
just hours before the crache surveillance cameras captured paul murdoch using
00:21:04.940
you stupid he's holding the beer up he's celebrating bro
00:21:10.920
stop it. Yeah, his brother's buster. Who's older? Yeah. Michael DeWitt, editor of the Hampton
00:21:20.780
County Guardian, says later Paul and a friend were seen drinking at a bar on the river. He
00:21:26.940
pounded a couple of shots, got back in the boat. It was kind of a sad moment when you
00:21:31.600
see Matt. And there he is right here. This is a guy that caught 911. And also, I want
00:21:35.540
to let y'all know that Paul is an alcoholic, guys. Yeah. Okay. All he did was rage and
00:21:42.020
party. This is something that he did all the time. Obviously, this is a rich kid from South
00:21:45.720
Carolina. His family is well known everywhere. He doesn't really deal with consequences for
00:21:51.300
his actions, which you guys are going to see here later on. And he grew up with a silver
00:21:55.420
spoon in his mouth and it shows in his actions. Go ahead. He is the perfect example of an
00:21:59.680
over on his spoiled brat. Yes, 100%. If trust fund baby was a term, he is the definition of it.
00:22:07.360
You know, not only does he have the money, but his family has the status and the power in this part
00:22:12.680
of South Carolina. Mallory, I think it's the last moment that anybody captured an image of her
00:22:19.280
alive. About an hour later, the boat slammed into a bridge piling. That's when Mallory disappeared.
00:22:26.560
There's six of us and one is missing. Then Buford County Deputy Sheriff Stephen Domino was one of the
00:22:33.480
first on the scene. Anthony Cook told him he saw Paul Murdoch driving the boat just before.
00:22:40.280
Damn, and y'all can see the blood here, right? So that tells you right there that this was a,
00:22:46.220
he was probably driving that thing fast to get that kind of, yeah, that kind of result.
00:22:51.580
The crash. Y'all know Alec Murdoch. That's his son. See, look at him. Y'all know Alec Murdoch. He's all
00:23:02.200
drunk and shit, slurred and stuff. That's his son. So obviously the deputy knows who he is. The kid
00:23:09.700
knows who he is. Hey, that tells you all you got to know. Good luck. Nearly. Good luck.
00:23:19.460
Two months after the boat crash, Paul was charged with causing the death of Mallory Beach. He pleaded
00:23:28.820
not guilty. But the case will never go to trial. On June 7th, 2021, Alex Murdoch called police and
00:23:37.700
said he'd found Paul and his wife Maggie shot dead on one of their properties. Maggie and Paul,
00:23:44.340
please hurry. Wait. Nikki, Batiste, this is all over the place, this case. Are investigators
00:23:51.920
saying if the boat crash is in fact related to the double murder or connected in any way?
00:23:56.580
So the investigation. Hold on, do you have some? Go ahead. I mean, they don't mention a lot of stuff.
00:24:01.480
Well, we're going to, we're going to, what do you, what do you mean? What did they not mention?
00:24:04.700
Well, actually, the boat crash, Paul tried to blame his friend, the other guy that was drinking
00:24:11.680
with him. Oh, the boyfriend? No, no, no. There were three cops. So there is this thing.
00:24:16.720
Okay, go ahead. And it's all the Netflix documentary, which is like very dramatic. If you guys like
00:24:21.200
drama, you can go watch it. So there were three couples, right? And they were all together. So
00:24:27.200
Paul, his girlfriend, the guy, the girl, Mallory. So Anthony and Mallory. And there was another
00:24:34.420
couple. Yeah. Which was his name was Connor. Connor was trying. So when the accident happened,
00:24:40.360
Paul was driving because he, he wouldn't let anyone else drive the boat. Yeah. So this
00:24:47.080
guy, Connor, he was, he drank, of course, but he was okay. So he was trying to grab the
00:24:53.860
wheel, but Paul wouldn't let him. Yeah. So that's what he said. He kept saying, this is
00:24:58.820
my father's boat. I'm not letting y'all drive. And none of you guys touch this boat. Yeah.
00:25:02.400
Yeah. Yes, exactly. So when the, the crash, when the crash happened, he tried to blame
00:25:08.200
his friend. So he said that he was the one driving all the time. So this is what Paul
00:25:13.760
said. You try to blame it on Connor, even though Connor couldn't get ahold of this.
00:25:16.900
Yes. Because the thing is that when this guy, Anthony called the police, Paul was trying to
00:25:21.840
call his dad. So he's, that will do like the whole thing of like, you know, covering the
00:25:26.900
case. Yeah. So what he said was like, you dude, this guy was driving the boat and he
00:25:32.580
crushed it. I think his grandfather ended up coming up to the ER and telling him to shut
00:25:36.400
up. Yeah. Both fathers. Alex and Ramdolf, which is the grandfather. Okay. So yeah, they,
00:25:42.400
they all try to blame this guy, Connor. Okay. So what happened, which is, I don't see why
00:25:47.900
they don't mention this in here. Alex Mordo tried to cover, tried to cover the whole thing
00:25:54.380
saying that he, they will represent all the kids in trial. Uh, if they blame Connor, you
00:26:00.500
know, not, not if they blame Connor, they didn't mention like blame Connor, but like, you know,
00:26:04.720
I represent you don't say anything. They said, don't say anything, you know? Okay. So, so
00:26:11.500
they were trying to basically bribe them with free representation. Like, Hey, we're all gonna,
00:26:16.180
you know, it's Connor that was driving it. My son is a responsible. I'll represent y'all
00:26:20.280
and we'll go ahead and present a story that implicates Connor as the driver, but the six
00:26:26.060
hooks, like even called the, the Connor's parents, Alex Mordo called Connor's parents. They were
00:26:31.940
like, yo, we know what you're like. They didn't say like, you, we know what your son did, but
00:26:36.340
they were like, we're going to represent Connor no matter what happens at any cost. Like, I
00:26:42.020
mean, these guys were trying to find Mallory and they were just worried about Paul the whole
00:26:47.520
time. Like it's crazy. It's crazy. Did they ever recover the body? No. Right. Yes. Oh,
00:26:51.300
they did. Eight days after they found her dead five miles away from, from the crash. Like
00:26:57.760
the crime scene. Her body floated probably in the river for a few days. Yeah. Wow. All
00:27:03.280
right. No, good, uh, good stuff. Good addition there. Um, I knew that he had been, he didn't
00:27:08.700
want anyone else to touch the boat. Cause he was like, I'm going to lose my boat. I'm not
00:27:11.800
letting you guys touch it. But I didn't know that the Alex went to that extent. Yeah.
00:27:17.500
To cover it up. I knew that they showed up at the ER and they were telling them, don't
00:27:21.400
say anything to the police. And Paul was drunk as hell. He was more, more concerned with
00:27:25.380
like, uh, partying again. He was flirting with the nurses. Yeah. He was flirting with
00:27:30.300
the nurses too. Yeah. Yeah. Guys, this is privilege on another level. He was flirting
00:27:33.620
with the nurses. Meanwhile, they couldn't find Mallory or what was going on with her. And
00:27:37.740
then after he got discharged and he got charged, he was back to partying. Like it was crazy,
00:27:43.140
bro. Wild. Yes. Um, he was throwing ragers. The other thing that, that, that the way they
00:27:49.640
crashed this guy, like they, they just take this guy. It wasn't the, the one that was driving
00:27:55.700
is because he broke his jaw in the accident. Yeah. And from the, you know, like circumstantial
00:28:02.220
evidence, like from the position that he broke his jaw, it wouldn't be possible for him to
00:28:07.600
drive the ball. Okay. Okay. So, so basically, yeah. So, so they tried to pin it on Connor
00:28:13.980
who, right. And, but the thing is, is that his injuries were not indicative of him being
00:28:17.860
behind the steering wheel. So there's no way that he could have been driving based on his
00:28:21.020
injuries. Yeah. Thank you for understanding. Yeah. No worries. I got you, bro. Yeah. I got
00:28:24.960
you. Uh, English is your second language guys. Yes. Uh, all right. So let's continue on
00:28:30.180
here with, with this, uh, good, good, good points there. Yeah. They're staying, staying
00:28:35.120
really tight lipped about a motive, a suspect, but Alex Murdoch's attorneys have admitted that
00:28:40.580
he is a person of interest in the double murders, but I've spent a lot of time in South Carolina.
00:28:45.560
I've talked to a lot of locals. There is speculation that this double murder might be revenge for
00:28:51.640
the boat crash, but here's, what's so crazy about this case. There are six investigations
00:28:55.960
going right, going on. Hold on six investigations. What the fuck? And don't worry guys. We're
00:29:03.920
going to cover some of them here all around the Murdoch family that the boat crash, a double
00:29:09.040
murder, the death of another teenage boy, a suicide scheme, missing money from a law firm
00:29:14.040
and the death of the Murdoch family housekeeper a few years ago. What does the family think?
00:29:20.040
Mallory's family. Yeah. Mallory's family in a civil lawsuit very clearly says they believe
00:29:24.660
Paul Murdoch was driving the boat that he was drunk. It crashed and their beautiful daughter
00:29:30.080
died. Nikki, I cannot wait to watch this one. So many twists and turns. You can watch Nikki's
00:29:35.020
report, the Murdoch mysteries. Let's get that up. All right. So now y'all know, right? This
00:29:41.280
is like one of the first like major or one of the early events in the Murdoch timeline,
00:29:45.780
right? Now we're going to get into Murdoch stealing money from the law firm prior to the murders.
00:29:54.620
Okay guys. Um, and this woman right here was the CFO that was able to ID it and confront
00:30:01.220
him. We're not going to play the entire video, but we're going to play the initial portion.
00:30:04.140
Uh, she has a little bit of a weird lisp guys. So, um, yeah, that's all I'll say. Let's go
00:30:11.620
Next line where it says Barrett Boulware took insurance proceeds. This is actually a check
00:30:17.560
that was payable to Barrett Boulware from Southern Fidelity insurance. And Alec actually endorsed
00:30:26.500
that check. He had power of attorney on that file. He actually endorsed that check. And later we were
00:30:32.960
able to trace it into his personal accounts. All right. So they basically were able to trace it back
00:30:40.480
that he took money from the firm, from clients that he was not supposed to take and put it into
00:30:46.580
his personal account to fuel, which you guys are going to find out later, his drug addiction.
00:30:52.080
Going down. The majority of these are forged payment. If you get to Dion Martin, the first
00:30:57.340
line says fake real quick. I'm sorry to interrupt you. Just going across though, we've got the client,
00:31:01.980
we've got the civil action number, we've got the category that you were just describing.
00:31:05.400
We got the date, the trust was funded, and then we have the amount. Is that correct?
00:31:09.180
That's right. And the date the trust was funded,
00:31:11.500
what does that category mean? That refers to when we found out and did the deep dive into exactly what
00:31:18.660
had happened on each file and deposited the money back immediately into our client trust. So that's
00:31:26.580
the firm actually, as we found these, put money in client trust. We then met with all the clients,
00:31:33.180
reestablished what the correct disbursements should have been and returned all funds to
00:31:38.180
the clients. So the firm had to pay guys. Let me get this. So let's get this straight.
00:31:43.160
They have to meet with their clients, tell them, Hey, just so y'all know your money's been stolen,
00:31:48.540
but we're going to go ahead and pay y'all back. And let's see how they actually came up with the
00:31:54.580
money to pay them back. The money back that you've determined in each one of these cases that Alec
00:32:00.680
Murdoch misappropriated through the fake Forge on this list. We did.
00:32:10.760
And this is the prosecutor right here, guys, top right. Obviously, this Alec Murdoch right here.
00:32:15.260
And then here is the CFO who is on the witness stand testifying. And this is from the trial
00:32:43.620
And again, does this represent everything or just a particular category?
00:32:53.240
Yo, my man was embezzling all kinds of money, bro.
00:33:07.700
Just real quick. I see that says 129.11 for Thomas More.
00:33:16.260
And that would be the date and the check number of the check that was taken.
00:33:26.820
And if you could correct that with my pen here and then just put your initials next to it, please.
00:33:33.920
Going back to Exhibit 314, if we look at all the check dates on here,
00:33:53.060
we have the earliest one being about August of 2015.
00:33:58.680
And then it continues all the way up to early 2021.
00:34:03.920
And how he was probably getting away with this, guys,
00:34:09.860
was he was just siphoning money, right, at different periods,
00:34:14.100
Obviously, he didn't take all that 2.8 million at one time.
00:34:16.780
He was taking money slowly, right, but surely over a long duration of time.
00:34:22.420
So it would not be too visible to the accountants running the books.
00:34:33.920
Murdoch is kind of like, damn, this is an L for me, bro.
00:34:53.220
And you guys might be wondering, why are they bringing up money in a murder trial, right?
00:35:00.540
Aren't you supposed to be tried for the crime that you're actually being accused of?
00:35:04.560
Well, the reason why, guys, is because the prosecution is trying to frame it where he killed his family, okay,
00:35:12.940
because he had a bunch of issues and his life was spiraling out of control.
00:35:17.760
And about three days prior, right, excuse me, three days after the murders,
00:35:23.900
he was scheduled for a hearing where he was supposed to face these issues in a civil court with the money that he had stolen, okay?
00:35:32.100
So the prosecution theorized that these murders were a part of buying himself some time because obviously as soon as these murders happened,
00:35:42.840
right, in the beginning stages before he was named a suspect, everything was canceled.
00:35:47.700
He was put in the victim category, and people didn't really press him like that anymore, you know,
00:35:53.800
between his drug addiction, stealing money, other things that he had done,
00:35:58.980
and other criminal activity that he had done, stealing money from the firm, stealing money from clients,
00:36:03.380
So it kind of took pressure off him for a good amount of time because everyone was like,
00:36:07.640
yo, he just lost his family, they had been brutally murdered, et cetera.
00:36:24.760
And these are from the records and your investigation into the records at the firm?
00:36:30.120
And each one of these, has the firm had to make the clients whole because of the defendant's misappropriation?
00:36:36.460
I'm going to show you what's been marked as 315, and this is a particular case is a lease Mallory.
00:36:42.300
And just as an example, and see if you recognize that document.
00:36:48.000
This first document is the disbursement which would have been drafted at the end of the case
00:36:53.660
that states the recovery, expenses, fees, and payments to clients.
00:36:58.740
Next, we have, this one actually had a payment to forge, so I have a copy of that canceled check.
00:37:04.060
And then the third and fourth pages are where we did our correcting disbursements with footnotes about what had happened
00:37:10.940
and explained everything to our clients when we reimbursed them.
00:37:18.880
Are there similar documents, supporting documents, for each one of these transactions that's on your spreadsheet?
00:37:32.360
So this is a disbursement sheet, is that right?
00:37:38.200
I'll ask you, but very quickly, tell me what a disbursement sheet is and how they're supposed to work.
00:37:42.380
So disbursement sheet just shows at the conclusion of the case, once the recovery, it will show the recovery amount,
00:37:49.360
list out the fees that were sent to the attorneys, shows fee splits if there's multiple attorneys,
00:37:55.920
shows the amount of expenses we collect back, any liens or loans that were payable that were in the scope of that case,
00:38:03.080
and then the final amount would be the payment to the client or the client's beneficiaries, if they had beneficiaries.
00:38:10.260
And then down here at the bottom, well, guys, he didn't, he didn't spend 2 million plus on just drugs.
00:38:17.180
I mean, he, you got to remember that they lived a very luxurious lifestyle.
00:38:21.640
You know, they had multiple homes, big mansions, boats, luxurious items, a bunch of liabilities.
00:38:31.160
So, and at the time he was kind of a disgraced attorney, so he wasn't probably making enough money
00:38:40.880
And anytime that happens, well, you end up keeping up with the Joneses and you're going to have to,
00:38:45.480
you might, you either got to get the money, you know, legally or in this case, illegally.
00:38:53.360
He had to pay for his son's defense counsel with the boating accident.
00:39:01.760
So people do desperate things, desperate, desperate times require desperate measures sometimes.
00:39:07.300
And this is the greatest extent to desperate measures.
00:39:19.960
And going to the second page, what is this right here?
00:39:23.880
That is a copy of the check that was payable to forge that you saw on the bottom line of that other disbursement,
00:39:29.460
as well as the back of it showing the endorsement.
00:39:42.060
The yellow totals would signify what the correct amount should have been
00:39:45.560
and the corrections that would need it to have been made.
00:39:51.020
Going back to this first page, in this particular one, how much was the recovery?
00:40:03.760
And then was there an attorney fee taken from PMPED?
00:40:11.500
In this case, it was $30,000, which was a reduced fee.
00:40:15.260
We generally get a third or 40%, but there are instances where the attorney will reduce their fee for some reasons.
00:40:25.040
Who requested the fees be reduced in this case?
00:40:33.620
But those fees got paid to the firm from that recovery, correct?
00:40:38.360
So the rest of that money went to the client, didn't it?
00:40:41.420
It actually went to the fake forge account where Alec stole the money from the client.
00:40:49.660
That client didn't get one dime until y'all had to make it right.
00:40:54.040
And that's similar to the rest of the examples we have.
00:40:59.080
So now y'all see how the scheme, basically he would take in a smaller deposit, you know, try to conceal it, make it fly under the radar, which, you know, ended up getting him caught in the first place.
00:41:08.880
But this is how he was able to steal money for a duration of time.
00:41:22.760
So now that we know the financial side, right, and you guys can go ahead and watch this video.
00:41:29.720
Give them a like and subscribe to their channel.
00:41:36.660
We're not going to watch the entire thing, but you guys get an idea now of what he was doing with stealing money.
00:41:41.320
Now we're going to go into how he stole millions from his ex-housekeeper's family in a wrongful death case.
00:41:51.020
Angie, do you want to talk about this one real quick?
00:41:52.660
Because this was covered in the Netflix documentary, right?
00:41:57.200
But like at the end, like it's three episodes documentary.
00:42:06.220
Basically, this is one of their housekeepers, guys.
00:42:13.360
But she ended up getting pushed by the family dog falling down the stairs and then dying.
00:42:19.840
She had, uh, the family ended up suing and winning the lawsuit.
00:42:28.200
And, uh, Alex Murdaugh was still able to steal the money somehow.
00:42:34.260
I don't fucking know how this guy does this shit.
00:42:36.300
This guy is literally a G at stealing money from people.
00:42:41.320
I mean, obviously not G enough because he got caught, but this is what this dude does.
00:42:47.580
I'm going to go ahead and share screen with y'all.
00:42:53.260
Speak up for us because the court quarter, nobody needs to hear you.
00:43:16.620
I just want to mention that this lady, Gloria, was the housekeeper for the Murdo family for
00:43:24.760
So she actually saw all the kids grow and Paul was very, very close to her.
00:43:31.660
But many, many people, when she died or got killed, I don't know, um, were, um, implicating
00:43:39.440
that the, the one that killed her was Maggie or Alex Murdo because apparently
00:43:45.420
she knew secrets of the family that, uh, no, that.
00:43:49.700
So they alleged the parents killed her because she knew too much.
00:43:55.340
We should, which just to show you guys real fast, because I want you guys to be able to
00:44:08.160
So the rumors you're saying is that Maggie and potentially even Alex were behind her
00:44:15.720
Some people said that Paul also will kill her, but I mean, like people close to the family
00:44:21.340
will know that Paul wouldn't be able to do that because he, she raised him.
00:44:27.960
So anything, the parents might have an incentive because she knew too much.
00:44:31.260
But the thing is that Maggie called it, called 9-1-1 when she died, she was the one who made
00:44:37.600
Just like him when he called 9-1-1 when they died.
00:44:47.780
Let's, uh, let's go ahead and see a little bit of the testimony.
00:44:49.580
Again, we're not going to play this entire video guys.
00:44:52.300
So you guys kind of understand the severity of what's going on here.
00:45:12.320
You're on a kind of record reflect he's done by this phone.
00:45:27.740
And I know that list looks redundant guys, but the reason why he has to point to the person
00:45:31.040
in the courtroom, they need to get a positive identification for the court records.
00:45:37.400
So they, you know, they're going to say, let the record reflect that the, uh, witness has
00:45:41.000
identified the defendant and then they can go ahead and get the testimony.
00:45:55.640
Over, how long did your mom roughly, how long she worked for Alec?
00:46:00.500
Uh, I think you can estimate against 20 something years, maybe give and take.
00:46:12.340
There is 1,587, what, 1,587 of you guys watching the show right now.
00:46:19.840
Subscribe to the channel if you guys haven't already.
00:46:23.000
The more engagement the video gets, the more views the video gets.
00:46:25.440
As you guys know, uh, I was gone for almost two weeks, still pumping out content for y'all.
00:46:32.400
You don't gotta, um, spend any money or donate anything to the channel.
00:46:46.080
We need to get up on the mic so we can, uh, hear you.
00:47:04.340
During the course of that, you got to know Alec and his family to some extent as well?
00:47:23.160
Um, did she pass right away or did she live for a while?
00:47:27.800
And guys, Moselle is where the murder occurred, uh, with where the dog kennels were, et cetera.
00:47:33.240
That's a property that they own, which is right here.
00:47:35.580
This is the Moselle estate here, as y'all can see from an aerial photo.
00:47:38.880
Um, so, uh, and actually, I think if I'm not mistaken, it's on the market now and under contract.
00:47:54.260
They purchased the Moselle property around 2012.
00:48:01.040
These guys got money, guys, you know, listed for 3.9 million.
00:48:09.840
Uh, but this is where the murder occurred and where, um, the, and I think if I'm not mistaken,
00:48:15.080
it was these steps that she allegedly got pushed down and ended up, uh, passing away.
00:48:24.300
Was she ever able to say to you what happened, how she fell or anything?
00:48:30.920
Um, after she passed, uh, did you have any conversation with Alec, uh, about what to do about it?
00:48:39.300
And what was the conversation you had with Alec?
00:48:44.840
But it's like, um, you know, let me go after my insurance company for this or whatever,
00:48:49.940
you know, kind of get these medical bills and stuff paid.
00:48:52.840
So he said he was going to go after his insurance company?
00:48:58.380
Did he say he might get, did he get money for you and your brother?
00:49:12.320
And he, he, uh, who did you consider your lawyer was in all of this?
00:49:17.380
At some point in time, did he bring another lawyer in?
00:49:22.300
Um, he said, if I understood it correctly, you know, I can't do it myself because it's
00:49:27.600
Um, I'm going to send you to my buddy, Corey Fleming.
00:49:31.800
Did he tell you anything about his relationship with Corey Fleming other than they were buddies?
00:49:38.340
Did he tell you anything more about his relationship with Corey Fleming?
00:49:44.060
You guys see a trend here, how Alex, what he does is he inserts himself into certain
00:49:47.760
legal procedures so that he can influence it to his benefit.
00:49:55.140
He makes sure that he has a hand in representing her son to ensure that he's involved in the
00:50:00.520
process of financial, uh, disbursement of funds from an insurance company.
00:50:09.060
Um, after he brought in Corey Fleming, were you still communicating directly with Alec about
00:50:20.240
Did he ever bring in a person, uh, or did they ever bring in a person by, by the name of
00:50:52.980
Alec told you that he was going after his insurance company.
00:51:00.500
Um, one of them that I know of was like $500,000 and that's the only one.
00:51:08.500
Did he ever tell you that there was also an umbrella policy worth upwards of $5 million?
00:51:19.100
So he only told them about the one that's $500,000, didn't tell them about the one that
00:51:36.040
I really don't believe this guy actually believes that his mom got killed, uh, died
00:51:54.180
It's just, it's naive, but, you know, if you go and put yourself in his shoes, right?
00:52:03.380
20, you know, 20 years plus, you know, you're thinking in your head, like, they would never
00:52:14.300
He probably, he probably grew up in the house with them, probably going to Christmas, everything
00:52:22.940
Like coming after, uh, his mom and he's, you know, he's a young guy.
00:52:29.880
But I, I personally think like he must know something.
00:52:34.060
I don't want to put my hands in there, but I mean, he probably knows something as well.
00:52:46.360
Which I think he probably came to that conclusion later on when he didn't get the money.
00:52:52.100
But I could see how in the beginning, why he would trust them.
00:52:56.920
You know, you got a prominent rich family telling you, Hey, um, you know, we're going
00:53:06.900
And even, uh, one of Alex's coworkers who said that he, the good thing that he was good
00:53:11.340
at, even though he was a terrible lawyer was he was a fantastic, as she would say bullshit
00:53:17.120
The CFO actually said that about him during the trial.
00:53:19.640
So, um, I wouldn't be surprised that he was able to con this guy as well.
00:53:45.560
And I just wanted the reason that you sent that to that is, uh, that is a cover sheet
00:53:52.140
And what was, what's the reason that you sent that to Alex?
00:53:55.280
Um, I got something from the trailer company and a medical bill, I believe.
00:53:59.600
And I just wanted to be sure what I needed to do with it.
00:54:01.980
You had received some paperwork about your mom.
00:54:12.680
Uh, cause he said if we got any medical bills, I swore them to him.
00:54:15.400
And I didn't know if I needed to do anything with it, which, because you thought he was
00:54:20.420
And this has your phone number on there, but we blacked it out.
00:54:23.120
So not only is Alex representing him involved in the entire process, but he's also getting
00:54:46.300
And so he's in control, guys, of what's going on with the entire process.
00:54:51.480
So if he was involved and had some nefarious activity with his mother's dad.
00:54:57.680
He sees everything coming down the pipeline, which is obviously puts him in a position of
00:55:02.240
Are you asking him about the case and what was going on with the case or anything like
00:55:12.080
Um, first it was hard, hard, and he didn't know that he was making progress.
00:55:16.800
He said it was hard, but they were making progress?
00:55:19.840
Did he tell you anything about whether or not you and your brother were going to get
00:55:28.340
Like, hey, it's hard, but we're making progress, bro.
00:55:31.340
Uh, you know, we're going to, we're going to get that money.
00:55:37.280
Uh, if I remember correctly, one time he's been trying to get each of you, at least $100,000
00:55:46.280
Um, at some point in time, did your family advise you that there was some media reporting
00:55:53.600
And at that time, had you heard anything from Alec or Corey or Chad or anybody about a settlement
00:55:59.840
And what, if anything, did you do after your family?
00:56:04.500
They said you might want to kind of follow up on it and kind of see.
00:56:14.280
Uh, I believe the last time I talked to Alec was in June of 21.
00:56:22.880
Uh, I can't believe what I asked him, but, um, it was still making progress and be ready
00:56:31.260
He told you it was still making progress and you was hoping to settle by the end of the
00:56:37.560
Did he tell you that they had already gotten a settlement for $505,000?
00:56:42.480
Did he tell you that they had already gotten a settlement for $3.8 million?
00:56:48.880
Did he ever tell you that there was an umbrella policy for $5 million?
00:56:57.340
Did he ever mention to you anything about forge?
00:57:02.980
Did he mention anything to you about structuring any settlement?
00:57:09.320
Did he give him permission to steal your money?
00:57:20.040
Ultimately, in the wake of all of this, you've come to find out that there was a settlement
00:57:34.140
And ultimately, you've come to find out that there was a settlement under the umbrella policy
00:57:42.960
And a large portion of that was diverted by Alec Murdoch, is that right?
00:57:49.660
Did you ever get one cent from Alec Murdoch when he was still, before all of this happened?
00:58:00.180
They took after this happening and took a legal process for that to happen, is that right?
00:58:04.300
And ultimately, is it your understanding that he confessed judgment to taking money for
00:58:09.980
In June of 2021, you made a call to him asking the status of this case, is that correct?
00:58:15.900
I can't remember if he called me or if I called him, but yes, I talked to him in June of 2021.
00:58:22.040
And there were reports in the media about that settlement, correct?
00:58:30.660
And please answer any questions in the defense house, okay?
00:58:48.300
He was taking money from his dead housekeeper's son.
00:59:02.940
Now we're going to get into the 911 call of him trying to fake his own...
00:59:14.080
I feel like I'm doing an infomercial here, but, you know, it's like, but wait!
00:59:48.760
He's very calm and speaking kind of low for someone who's about to say what he's about to tell y'all here in a second.
01:00:05.840
Because I don't know what you're talking about.
01:00:16.780
I got a flat tire, and I stopped, and somebody stopped to help me.
01:00:23.820
And when I turned my back, they tried to shoot me.
01:01:02.500
You are changing your tire, doing whatever the hell he's claiming that he's doing on the side of the road.
01:01:06.180
And someone shoots you in the back, and then they run away, and you're bleeding.
01:01:10.560
Would you be calling 911 all calm like, yeah, you know, I think I need help.
01:01:21.600
Can y'all send somebody out here and help me out?
01:01:42.200
You can see, three months after, right, the murders back in June of 2021.
01:02:14.640
Okay, about two miles from the pedestrian road there.
01:02:35.120
Somebody stopped to help you, and they shot you?
01:02:57.840
And can you give me a description of the person that shot you or shot at you?
01:03:13.560
So how am I going to say this without implicating the person that I hired to do this, but at
01:03:20.960
the same time come off as believable, and you guys can see it right now, you know, that
01:03:25.740
Perk Hatton, he's trying to figure out how he's going to do this.
01:03:29.460
I'd say a white male, a fair amount younger than me, really, really short hair.
01:03:53.480
You think one of y'all can drive me to the hospital?
01:03:57.340
You want to get the truck, though, because I got a baby.
01:04:32.420
I don't know from where, but I'm bleeding a lot.
01:04:37.280
Even though I staged this with my friend for insurance money.
01:04:42.700
I robbed my dead housekeeper's son blind, but I need more money to fuel this addiction.
01:04:51.860
I killed my family, but I need some help right now, bitch.
01:05:48.600
He said there's somebody taking him to the hospital.
01:07:06.840
We're coming down South Hatchie Road to the Hanson Hospital.
01:07:12.960
Y'all coming down South Hatchie Road to your...
01:07:28.580
They're coming down South Hatchie Road heading towards the hospital.
01:07:40.000
Uh, we'll be at Walterburg Highway in 10 minutes or so.
01:07:47.180
They said in about 10 minutes they said they'll be at Walterburg Highway.
01:07:53.300
Bitch, I got to be on the highway on my own because you can't get an ambulance to me.
01:08:20.060
Bro, all I'm going to say is none of y'all better get injured in South Carolina in this area.
01:08:29.940
For you if you get caught in this area, call 911, bro.
01:08:32.440
Could you imagine if you really got shot in the head and you out here, uh, I need some help.
01:08:53.060
Satan's going to pull you into the hell like...
01:09:17.880
Bro, if you really got shot in the head and you had been bleeding as much as he's claiming,
01:09:28.560
We've been on this call for, what, seven minutes now?
01:09:45.860
Anyone that lives in this area, South Carolina, y'all better never call 911, bro.
01:09:50.920
Y'all better off again on a fucking horse and get into that.
01:09:53.960
Ask me on your own if you know what I'm saying.
01:09:56.940
Yo, you better get on a fucking horse and go there yourself.
01:10:28.260
Someone said the Dispatch was eating Taco Bell in between.
01:10:41.700
Someone said, Totec said, I live in South Carolina.
01:10:45.200
With this type of 911, you ain't got no chance.
01:11:03.820
I'm heading down the road with this random stranger.
01:11:06.420
And what's a good callback for you, Mr. Murdoch?
01:11:32.680
We've been nine minutes and 30 seconds into this call, bro.
01:11:36.860
Yo, if he really had gotten shot, he would be gone.
01:11:44.160
This is the most ridiculous 911 call I've ever heard.
01:12:00.280
We're on Wiltshire Highway in a white Nissan Rogue.
01:12:39.260
Yo, it took them 10 minutes and 53 seconds to see the ambulance, bro.
01:13:09.400
If you guys know what I'm saying, like, what the hell is this, bro?
01:13:18.240
All I got to say after that, bro, is guys, do not get caught out in South Carolina on your
01:13:23.360
own, because you are definitely going to die, okay?
01:13:27.560
Now, here is a scheme played out in court, guys.
01:13:30.060
I'm going to fast forward through this so you guys get the most pertinent stuff, okay?
01:13:38.860
I told him that things are getting ready to get really bad.
01:14:05.840
And this is when you were in the hospital in Savannah?
01:14:12.620
So you've called him since you went, because you wanted to, we need to worry about for buster
01:14:15.860
you, so your son would then reap the insurance benefits.
01:14:27.180
In other words, if you've had the policy word two years, the, uh, you can commit suicide
01:14:34.220
okay so this that's not now what he thought it really doesn't matter but he may have thought
01:14:41.100
yeah there's been a problem okay but you still entered into an agreement basically to have him
01:14:47.340
kill you uh so your son would then reap the insurance benefits and yeah okay okay is that
01:14:55.820
yes sir um so basically guys what ended up happening was he staged okay himself getting
01:15:10.380
killed in this case so that the insurance money would go to his son buster his oldest son who's
01:15:15.580
still alive i think he's right here you guys can see in the back on this side right here where i'm
01:15:20.860
uh circling he also has red hair okay so that was a scheme he was trying to do and he plotted it with
01:15:27.420
his drug dealer friend i didn't end up working because as you guys can see here l911 and uh
01:15:34.300
l murda acting skills all right yeah so now we're gonna fast forward guys
01:15:42.780
to the day of the murder okay now before i go into the actual murder itself and we go over the evidence
01:15:48.220
of that uh you know i'll do a quick little recap but before i do the recap i'm going to read some

another uh pre-recorded video for y'all right after this man so just like the video bro that's all i
01:22:46.060
ask all right all right so let's go ahead and recap
01:22:51.020
so we covered a bunch of different things here guys on this podcast we started first
01:22:54.780
with the uh the murdoff family background okay who they are how they run the southern part of south
01:23:01.260
carolina then we went into uh describing their history right i showed you guys the photograph of the
01:23:07.420
family uh that were involved in the strategy obviously got alex murdoch the murderer convicted
01:23:12.300
murderer at this point the son paul right who also was involved in killing someone and maggie
01:23:17.580
all right who may or may not been involved in her housekeeper's death then we went into the history
01:23:21.740
then we went to the death of mallory beach okay then we which was the boat accident that paul
01:23:27.180
murdoch was involved in drive operating the boat drunk uh and then we went into uh murdoch
01:23:33.580
embezzling money from his law firm then we went into murdoch stealing money from his deceased
01:23:40.140
housekeeper's son that he promised to represent and get the money to then we went into the bizarre 9-1-1
01:23:47.580
call that he made after staging an attempted hit so that he can collect money from life insurance for
01:23:56.460
his oldest son buster who is still alive then now this brings us to the day of the murder
01:24:03.020
in early june of 2021 and i showed you guys all this to set the stage to put you guys
01:24:08.300
kind of in the man's shoes as to why he did all these crazy things uh all the crazy things that led
01:24:15.420
up to him killing his son and his wife because at face value you look at it like yo why would this dude
01:24:20.700
do this but now you can see a deranged man a desperate man a man sinking from financial stress
01:24:28.060
sinking from lying sinking from stealing money sinking from drug use drug abuse etc okay he's
01:24:36.380
not acting in his rational mind now let's go ahead into the crime scene please hurry we're getting
01:24:45.020
somebody out there to you carlton county sheriff's office deputy daniel green was the first to arrive
01:24:54.780
on the scene at moselle got a whiskey fox whiskey mike both gunshot wounds to the head maggie and paul are
01:25:02.300
clearly dead he sees alec murdoch standing there as well in a t-shirt and shorts alec murdoch is
01:25:10.700
extremely pay attention to what he's wearing guys white t-shirt and shorts which is going to conflict
01:25:15.180
with what he was wearing earlier in the day upset he is beside himself he seems anxious he seems
01:25:24.700
distraught he was pacing quite a bit he was also asking green whether they were dead did you check
01:25:32.060
them the we got medical guys that are that that's that's that's what they're gonna do okay what are
01:25:37.340
they doing can they hurt they are yes sir evidence at the scene suggested that paul was and that blurred
01:25:43.900
area that you guys saw is where the bodies were uh with a shotgun and maggie was shot with a rifle
01:25:50.300
so that's very important to note guys two different weapons were used okay in this uh murder they were
01:26:00.940
both murders uh more murder i i can't even say the last name they were both like they were the owners
01:26:08.620
of the of the guns yes yes which they never found the guns by the way once sled arrives agents start to
01:26:17.660
process the scene meanwhile the lead age sled guys is the south carolina law enforcement um division
01:26:24.460
okay that is the state of south carolina's um main state agency that does big cases like this think of
01:26:32.620
them as south carolina's fbi and wants to talk to alec murdoch to find out what happened and he agrees to
01:26:39.180
be interviewed just stupid but he obviously has to give a statement because if he says i invoke my right to
01:26:47.260
silence or i don't want to talk to y'all what are they going to assume oh you're guilty bro
01:26:55.740
so you got here a deputy sheriff right here uh this guy plainclothes he's he might be a work for the
01:27:02.700
sheriff's office as well and then you got the sled agent here and in this case sled is probably going
01:27:07.980
to take lead and sled investigators are named sled special agents very similar to fbi or dea or whatever
01:27:14.540
but they're state law enforcement officers because this is a murder guys feds don't typically do murder
01:27:19.180
cases unless it's tied to some type of federal crime like a racketeering gang activity something like that
01:27:24.620
start the top take your time um like when i came back here i mean i pulled up and i could see him
01:27:31.820
and you know i knew something was bad i ran out i knew it was really bad
01:27:48.300
hi everyone george stephanopoulos here thanks for checking out the abc news you
01:27:51.580
all right so as y'all can see obviously very poor acting right so now we're going to go ahead into
01:27:59.180
the evidence that was found at the crime scene okay
01:28:05.500
there were a significant significant number of particles uh of particles characteristic of gunshot
01:28:11.580
primer residue on the inside of this jacket yes gunshot residue on the inside of a rain jacket
01:28:16.700
does it tie alec murdoch to the murders of his wife and son
01:28:23.660
i'm anjanette levy and welcome to law and crime sidebar podcast
01:28:27.580
on tuesday jurors and alec murdoch's double murder trial heard for the first time
01:28:32.460
about his theft from his law firm and clients he's charged with a number of financial crimes
01:28:38.380
as we've been telling you around 99 or so on 99 financial crimes
01:28:44.140
boomba card holy tuesday the chief financial officer for his former law firm testified about
01:28:51.740
confronting murdoch on june 7th 2021 about 792 000 in missing fees from a lawsuit that had settled
01:29:00.780
with another firm hours later paul and maggie murdoch were murdered jeannie seconder went through a
01:29:06.620
number of checks she found that murdoch had deposited for himself and we have the what's
01:29:12.860
this right here that is the date of the check where the funds were stolen from right and then right here
01:29:22.140
that's the client name all right and then right here that's what we call the civil action number
01:29:27.740
if it's been filed within the court all right and then the category is what type that he did most
01:29:34.140
of them are forged payments or you see a couple other took insurance so it's he had a few methods
01:29:40.780
all right and then over here is that when y'all had to pay the money back yes so for each one of
01:29:47.020
these the money that was stolen all the partners got together and had to put the money back into client
01:29:52.460
trust and we went through and corrected and met with every client and distributed money back to them
01:29:59.820
that's an ongoing basis still going on for all these clients you had to pay the law firm had to
01:30:06.780
pay money back the partners came up with money and paid all the all the clients back and why did y'all
01:30:12.140
have to pay all that money back because alec had stolen it jeannie seconder who's known alec murdoch for
01:30:19.660
40 years also opined on his skills as a lawyer using some pretty colorful language what were your
01:30:27.100
observations of him as a lawyer i think alec um was successful more not from his work ethic but from
01:30:36.620
his ability to establish relationships and to to manipulate people into i guess he got 99 problems but
01:30:46.940
his family at one oh my god bro boom booker supplements and clients into liking him um
01:31:02.300
that can be an art uh did he he's just like yo you bitch he literally is like bro if i ever get my
01:31:10.060
hands on my hands on my hands on you fatality you know in the back of his mind he wants to hit her with
01:31:13.900
the get over here the next thing you know that sound comes on
01:31:23.900
then the panic boom next thing you know perfect and then
01:31:32.300
that's what he's thinking in his head right now he wants to end her bro what is going on in your
01:31:36.460
estimation in your judgment was he more of a technical type lawyer or is he one that really
01:31:40.780
understood how to use the emotion of a case he would use the emotion of a case and the
01:31:46.060
and the emotion of his clients so genie seconder basically said that alec murdoch was a bs artist
01:31:53.580
on cross-examination alec murdoch's lawyer jim griffin reminded seconder that this trial
01:31:59.580
is actually about the murders of maggie and paul and pointed out she may have some bias
01:32:06.060
and we're not here today to try those charges on the financial crime now this is the defense
01:32:11.020
guys now the defense's job guys is to deflect okay the defense their job isn't to prove that
01:32:15.820
the guy's innocent they're there to prove that the prosecution can't prove that he's guilty which
01:32:21.980
is a big difference the burden of performance is always on the prosecution to prove that the
01:32:27.100
the subject is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt so the uh the defense is coming in to just muddy the
01:32:34.220
waters a bit and create a little bit of doubt so that their client can get off which is what he's
01:32:38.380
doing right now saying yo this ain't a financial case this is a murder case what is the relevancy of
01:32:43.180
this which is you know typical that a defense attorney would do this we're here you understand you're
01:32:48.940
testifying because he's been charged with the murder of his wife maggie and his son paul
01:32:57.100
and they were murdered on june 7th 2021 yes sir now some of these it looks like according to um your
01:33:09.740
testimony that this misconduct has been going on since as early as 2011 unfortunately when we found that
01:33:21.180
out right so some my man was stealing money for over 10 years wow 10 years before the murders of maggie
01:33:31.100
and paul correct that's correct he managed to fool a lot of people myself included i understand and
01:33:38.220
i understand you have the right to be very hurt and angry about that and and are you hurt and angry
01:33:43.260
about that oh yes i take it very personally it haunts me that i let this or that this happened
01:33:51.020
you feel like it happened on your watch and i think anybody feel normal feeling like that
01:33:55.900
and guys i want to make a distinction because some of you guys are saying yo leading questions blah blah
01:33:59.020
blah so when you're on when you're on direct right right there's two types of testimony that you're
01:34:07.100
going to give you're going to be on direct examination and uh cross-examination when you're on direct
01:34:13.500
right let's say i'm the agent right i'm the law enforcement officer and the prosecution is asking
01:34:18.780
me questions we're on the same team so he asked me more open-ended questions agent what is your name
01:34:26.060
blah blah blah what is your duties what are your uh what's your title what's your duties how long you've
01:34:30.300
been on the job okay what's your expertise etc then they go into the questioning right because they have
01:34:34.860
to establish that you are qualified to talk about and testify about whatever the hell you're going
01:34:38.140
to talk about especially if you're a subject matter expert aka an sme right then they ask you questions
01:34:43.500
like um uh what happened on such and such day and then bam you kind of go through the facts of the case
01:34:49.580
they don't really stop you too much they might uh interject here to maybe get you to clarify
01:34:53.660
something whatever but y'all are friendly so you guys are working together to ask you um open any questions
01:34:59.740
now when you're on cross okay the ops are questioning you okay so in this case i'm the agent the defense
01:35:07.900
comes after me now the defense is going to ask me questions typically in a yes or no fashion it's not
01:35:13.980
open-ended why do they do that well they do it to put you in a situation where you might answer something
01:35:20.060
and make you look stupid i'll give you an example okay i remember back in the day when i was an agent
01:35:24.540
all right they would ask me questions agent funnel right i've already been doxed at this point so who
01:35:32.460
cares is it true that you've lied in the past okay and that's kind of an open-ended question and you'd
01:35:40.860
be like you know you could say something funny never under oath right ha ha or something like that or
01:35:46.540
have you ever told a lie before well you obviously have to say yeah but right because no one is perfect
01:35:52.140
everyone has lied before right and then they'll ask you questions like that to make you look bad
01:35:57.980
right because their job is to attack the credibility of the prosecution and the investigating officers
01:36:05.020
agents whatever it may be so under on a cross-examination they kind of try to paint you in a
01:36:11.100
corner and ask you yes or no questions all right and then it's back right on the prosecution a lot of
01:36:17.500
times they'll come back and they'll save it uh on the redirect or whatever it may be but that's why
01:36:21.820
he's asking questions like this because obviously this woman the cfo here is the prosecution's
01:36:27.100
witness so the defense is asking her uh uh how do i say this questions that would paint her more in a
01:36:33.820
corner to attack her credibility and to make the defendant look less uh less culpable all right so
01:36:41.660
that's that's what it is when it comes that's the difference between direct examination versus uh cross
01:36:47.180
examination cross-examination you're being questioned by the ops okay to keep it nice and simple uh and
01:36:53.740
then direct examination you're being questioned by your team the big betrayal of trust next up was
01:37:03.020
ronnie crosby he you'll like the video by the way ain't nobody breaking this down for y'all like this
01:37:08.460
and this is coming from someone who's testified hundreds of times by the way i've testified in trial i've
01:37:14.060
testified in grand jury i've testified in depositions i've testified in virtually every type of criminal
01:37:20.460
uh procedure criminal case procedure and or hearing uh at the federal level so this isn't coming from
01:37:27.020
me just reciting some off of wikipedia or whatever this is actual experience from someone that was on
01:37:33.100
a job for over a decade all right guys so like the video subscribe to the channel because ain't nobody
01:37:39.180
else going to be able to give you guys insights to this detail because you might get a lawyer here
01:37:44.860
or there you might get someone that might have testified as a witness you ain't got no
01:37:47.820
fucking federal agent former federal agent test uh giving y'all this type of sauce and telling you guys
01:37:52.860
how it really works in a criminal justice system alec murdoch for much of their lives and they were
01:37:59.260
former law partners together at the now disbanded law firm crosby described his relationship with paul murdoch
01:38:06.780
um i knew paul since he was born um um both he and buster had always referred to me as um uncle ronnie
01:38:16.380
um we lived just across the way from each other so i i got to know him um
01:38:26.060
i don't know if he used to when he got into hunting he hunted a lot on my property he and buster
01:38:32.060
um i have a farm right here in colin county where i grew up um and so i got to know him you know that
01:38:52.060
paul was really good with kids and he took a liking to my son who's younger but he spent a lot
01:39:04.780
of time with him you'd take him hunting fishing they did a lot of hog hunting together paul had some
01:39:09.820
hog dogs and um you know just was around him a lot he had a great personality um it's really you know
01:39:24.940
all would come over to your property a good bet yes and and then you know that's and then sometimes
01:39:31.260
as as my son got older we would go over to uh to moseville i'm not with barker i'm not with paul
01:39:39.980
crosby said that he knew that alec murdoch had had some financial difficulties because of some real
01:39:45.340
estate deals that went south on the night of the murders he said he drove to moselle and went
01:39:50.780
directly to the kennels around 11 pm he said that he came back there's a motive right there financial
01:39:59.980
hardship from bad real estate deals should have watched our uh money mondays to talk about proper
01:40:05.580
real estate investing god damn it stupid to moselle and that he went to the house
01:40:16.220
and that uh when he got to the house he he discovered that maggie and paul were not there
01:40:25.900
and that he then got back in his car or his suburban which was an office issued vehicle and uh and he drove
01:40:36.700
down to the kennels and it's more than just kennels there i think y'all scenes maybe sheds there um and
01:40:47.260
he um he discovered maggie and paul's bodies i also want to make this extremely clear for y'all
01:40:55.420
in his interviews okay your boy um murdoch said that he was not at the location okay and we're going to
01:41:04.860
see evidence that proves otherwise but that was a big thing that he stuck with that he was not there
01:41:11.340
at the location when the murders occurred uh at or about 8 50 p.m eastern standard time
01:41:17.260
did he say whether or not he had gone down to the kennels with maggie and paul before he
01:41:34.220
that came up in one of the conversations and he's uh specifically said that he did not he did not
01:41:42.220
did you recognize any voices on that video the three voices on that video are the voices of paul murdoch
01:41:53.980
maggie murdoch and elec murdoch how sure are you
01:42:01.340
how sure are you i'm 100 sure that's these voices and this is the video that he's referring to guys
01:42:07.180
right here this is from snapchat on paul murdoch's phone minutes before they were killed
01:42:26.380
okay you heard one voice there okay that was murdoch
01:42:42.940
that's maggie that's his mom he's gotta burn his mouth
01:42:46.220
then you heard murdoch again i don't know what he said there he said some jibber-jibber
01:42:51.740
you can hear murdoch again you can hear murdoch again you can hear murdoch you can hear murdoch
01:43:02.700
you can hear a female voice which is maggie the mother and then you can hear a male voice who is murdoch
01:43:33.100
alex murdoch and paul is the one playing with the dog here that's recording this video
01:43:58.060
so what does that do guys that refutes his claim that he was not at the kennels okay
01:44:05.340
yeah so he was full of dr cal and you got one of his close associates here testifying that that
01:44:14.780
is indeed his voice and i think there was eight other people that testified that that was murdoch's
01:44:22.780
the audio there if you like this show you might like canadian true crime don't worry we got some
01:44:29.580
better than canadian true crime we cover that serial killer for y'all don't worry crime is known
01:44:33.260
for immersive paul and maggie were murdered crosby then spoke about when he learned that alec had been
01:44:40.780
stealing from clients and what alec had to say about it real quick as you guys know with the shooting
01:44:46.940
i'm gonna go ahead and play a video for y'all that breaks down the murder okay crime scene expert
01:44:53.420
testifies in alex murdoch trial as far as how the shooting was done
01:45:05.260
murdoch died and it was torture in a graphic courtroom demonstration a crime scene expert
01:45:10.780
described how maggie first witnessed the death of her son then she was wounded several times before
01:45:17.260
the fatal shot was delivered it's a shocking demonstration of the final moments of maggie
01:45:23.020
murdoch's life she would have been on her knees and had at least one hand on the ground the prosecutor got
01:45:31.100
down on the courtroom floor to illustrate the position pause as a crime scene expert used his pointer
01:45:39.420
to show how the killer alleged to be her husband alex delivered the fatal shot the shooter was right
01:45:45.740
here everybody was adjusting their seat to get a better look because it was just so dynamic this
01:45:51.340
courtroom absolutely stopped in south carolina because you had the prosecution lying on the ground
01:45:57.580
actually demonstrating how maggie may have been executed the jury also heard a 911 call murdoch made
01:46:05.260
three months after maggie and paul were slain i got a flat tire that's the 911 call we played earlier guys
01:46:13.340
on september 3rd 2021 somebody stopped to help me and when i turned my back they tried to shoot me when you shot yeah this video was taken in the ambulance
01:46:29.260
murdoch later said he hired a former client to shoot him because his financial crimes were about to be exposed
01:46:36.540
i thought it would be better for me not to be what do you mean by not be here anymore i thought that
01:46:42.700
it would make it easier on my family for me to be dead alex murdoch has pled not guilty to the double
01:46:50.460
murder charges hell all right oh my god somebody said like this guy looked like chucky real
01:46:56.460
like like who chucky oh i was giving a folder that had paperwork in it um
01:47:05.740
and that paperwork consisted of checks both front and back and i was asked to uh review them
01:47:17.900
were those the uh what's been called the fake forged checks
01:47:20.700
yes i believe the fake forged checks there was not all of them that miss seconder went over but i
01:47:27.980
believe that there was um i could probably call the names of most of them that were there i uh i know
01:47:33.020
it was anderson bush uh more there was probably about five or six of them and i believe they had a copy of
01:47:42.540
the uh ferris check there too ferris check yes and i'd sat for a minute and reviewed it i think
01:47:50.380
danny said you're gonna need a drink and so did you have a drink yeah ultimately more than one
01:48:02.700
yeah boy that boy's drinking that scotch you know what i'm saying what happened after that
01:48:09.420
well they didn't tell me what was in it they let me review it on my own
01:48:13.100
and i immediately said this is this is bad and my words then were
01:48:24.140
that we have to terminate elec he cannot no longer practice with us and that was within i don't know
01:48:32.140
how many minutes but it was not a long period of time because the way genie had it laid out
01:48:37.180
it was clear what had happened and that this money had been stolen
01:48:46.780
did uh any of the partners go to confront alec with uh this information that had been uncovered
01:48:54.540
um yes there was a meeting uh the following morning at lee's house i did not attend i did not need to
01:49:01.660
attend um i was still getting ready for trial i'd already i had already decided where this was going
01:49:09.100
and um they met and then we uh danny and randy ellic's brother went and met with elec
01:49:20.060
and what was your understanding of what the defendant said as a result of that
01:49:23.100
uh that he admitted and and said that he was knew he was going to get caught at some point in time
01:49:33.340
and admitted uh to them uh that he did it on cross examination alec murdoch's attorney jim griffin went
01:49:42.620
back to the theme that the crime scene was tainted were you able to get inside the the the crime scene
01:49:50.620
take so cross examination remember guys that guy is the prosecution's witness so now the defense
01:49:54.460
is cross-examining him so now they're going to grill him
01:50:01.500
i don't know if there was crime scene taken up at that point in time okay
01:50:09.180
so you were able as you recall just walk up for maggie and paul's bodies covered at the time you got there
01:50:27.740
but you were able to get into the crime scene close enough where you could
01:50:31.500
tell what you thought caliber of the shell case right and and i i didn't walk from where i was parked
01:50:39.980
there i walked completely around the hanger and went over to talk to people i knew that
01:50:50.620
there the fire and rescue people just to get what their assessment was and i could see
01:50:58.780
from where they were positioned i could see i wasn't like i didn't get over it but i could see
01:51:04.620
yo this chat got no chill bro solo productions reactions goes he had ymw mele playing in his head
01:51:10.300
looking at his son and wife that night yo i guess he had murder on his mind man yo y'all are crazy bro
01:51:23.820
i'm very familiar with with with your firearms and i saw what i thought was a 223 casing
01:51:30.940
the last witness of the day was megan fletcher and she testified about gunshot residue test results
01:51:38.620
from alec murdoch's belongings she said there were a small number of particles found on alec murdoch's
01:51:44.540
hand his seat belt his shirt and shorts that he was wearing the night of the murders but there was no
01:51:49.740
gsr found on his sneakers which is notable but 38 particles were found on the now notorious blue rain
01:51:56.700
jacket found at alec murdoch's mother's home oh boy and that was a big piece of evidence guys
01:52:04.460
because they couldn't find gunshot residue on any of the clothing that he was wearing that day i mean
01:52:10.380
granted he had to grab the gun real quick because he claimed that he was going to go back to the scene
01:52:15.180
and you know go after any attackers that had killed his family but this piece of clothing right here
01:52:21.580
which was hidden and remember guys uh there was a snapchat video earlier which i'm going to show
01:52:26.460
y'all of what he was wearing that day okay which his son had documented as well it's interesting how
01:52:31.820
paul snapchat spoke for him after his death and finally uh since this is an inanimate object how long
01:52:40.540
would you expect that gunshot primer residue to stay on there until it's actively removed
01:52:50.140
that means washed cleaned yeah brushing it like aggressively brushing it off washing it in a washing
01:53:01.980
machine cleaned hosed off something like that if a recently fired firearm was racked up wrapped up
01:53:10.060
inside that jacket would that be consistent with your findings there is a possibility of that yes sir
01:53:15.500
thank you very much that's all we have thank you fletcher said that the gsr on alec murdoch's hand
01:53:21.420
and his clothing and seat belt could have been transferred but she couldn't say when
01:53:26.940
and that's it for this edition of law and crime sidebar podcast it is produced by sam goldberg and
01:53:32.380
michael dininger bobby soki is our all right so real quick here's a timeline of what went down guys
01:53:39.580
right that's the evidence but let's go over the timeline now all right i'm going to pull this up
01:53:44.300
for y'all and then we're going to go over uh the picture crime scene photos and stuff
01:53:52.060
this is his son okay paul murdoch recording his father okay i think this was either a snapchat or this
01:53:58.620
was recovered from the phone after the fact so look at he's wearing what he's wearing tan pants
01:54:02.860
blue shirt uh and looks like some uh some loafers
01:54:17.020
the video you just watched was sent on snapchat by alec murdoch's son on the day he was murdered
01:54:23.420
prosecutors allege this video proves that the disgraced lawyer was with his son paul at their
01:54:37.260
according to a snapchat representative that video was uploaded to paul murdoch's memories at 7 39 p.m
01:54:44.860
and later sent to friends at 7 56 p.m on june 7 2021 gotcha bitch
01:54:51.980
we just discussed that was part of the snapchat search warrant return yes that you just testified
01:54:58.540
was uh uploaded at 7 39 p.m and sent at 7 56 p.m yes and guys this is common in a trial i've done
01:55:05.580
this before as well whenever you use social media and or phone records in a trial you'll typically call
01:55:10.540
a witness from the company to come in and testify ask the validity of the times
01:55:15.500
the evidence seized etc uh from whatever medium you got the evidence from i've had people come from
01:55:20.540
facebook on trials i've had people come from uh uh from facebook from instagram snapchat this is very
01:55:28.220
common where you bring in a expert right or or t-mobile verizon a lot of times with phone companies
01:55:33.100
uh they come in and they testify to the validity of the information that is gathered and can go into
01:55:39.180
detail and explain it to the jury so this is represented from snapchat here right later probably
01:55:44.060
a law enforcement representative that works with law enforcement liaison that works for snapchat so if any
01:55:49.820
law enforcement officer submits a search warrant or a subpoena they have a compliance unit that deals
01:55:55.580
with that that night paul murdoch took another video on his phone this time in their dog kennel
01:56:02.220
listen to how many voices you hear get back get back
01:56:15.900
quick this is the video we played earlier so fast forward it a bit you can clearly hear three distinct
01:56:22.380
voices here which most importantly was murdoch i don't understand what's the thing they 100 believe
01:56:31.020
alec murdoch's voice is heard alongside his son paul's and wife maggie's in the video recognize the
01:56:37.260
voices on there i did did you recognize the voices of your second family i did and what voices did you
01:56:44.140
hear paul's that's maggie and how sure are you now positive 100 that's correct expert witnesses said
01:56:53.100
the video was taken at approximately 8 44 p.m which is minutes before investigators believe paul and
01:57:00.300
maggie were shocked later alec would call 911 at approximately 10 0 6 p.m to report the discovery
01:57:07.660
of the bodies of his wife and son an hour plus after the fact this is alec murdoch at 4147 moselle
01:57:16.140
road i think the police immediately my wife and child badly well go ahead did you find that the
01:57:25.100
the footage that i told you that it's on youtube when they when they found the bodies like when he
01:57:29.740
called the oh when he called remember that i told you that the police um yeah we could play it uh the
01:57:35.100
basically the body cam footage also another thing i want you guys to know when he called 9-1-1 when
01:57:40.220
you guys call 9-1-1 it starts rolling before they pick up the phone they start recording before that
01:57:44.620
so if you listen to 9-1-1 call he starts frantically uh acting after they say 9-1-1 not before
01:57:51.980
so he was like just silent online waiting and then he starts getting frantic
01:57:56.620
also testified that alec and paul had a close relationship here's a video of the father and son
01:58:17.660
did you imagine i'ma kill you in a couple years
01:58:19.980
motherfucker happy birthday thank y'all so much thank you baby i'ma steal all your money and kill
01:58:32.540
as the murdoch trial continues one crime will keep you updated on all the newest developments
01:58:38.140
reporting all right so now we're going to go over some evidence photos from the scene
01:58:43.180
as you guys can see i just sent you the video oh you did okay here's some uh the deputy showing up
01:58:51.420
here's the kennel you guys can see footprints all over the place which the defense actually attacked
01:58:55.660
this guys because um and the reason why the defense attacked it hold on is this tab muted oh no it's just
01:59:03.260
silent okay so uh yeah i can see the water spill
01:59:15.660
chain of custody south carolina law enforcement division sled forensic services laboratory chain of
01:59:19.580
custody uh this is a case number camel benelli black eagle unfiltered so this is the firearms that they took
01:59:26.860
and then here is one of the weapons that were used
01:59:48.460
okay so you can see huge area where this crime occurred
01:59:53.580
now what i want to show you guys as well is you said you sent me the uh the video of the
02:00:02.780
the footage of the the police okay when he called which one did you send it to on telegram
02:00:11.260
this one the ip this one okay uh i already played this all right let me let me go let me go back
02:00:23.820
so this right here guys so remember how the guy was showing the uh shooting here is his actual
02:00:30.220
testimony we're going to play a portion of it because i want to this is this is pretty good stuff
02:00:33.420
so i want you all to see a little bit more again he never made any movement any movement he made
02:00:39.580
and it was due to gravity pulling his body down to the ground when you sustain an injury to your brain
02:00:46.060
like that that ceases all movement so he was found outside the feed door he fell over
02:00:53.100
forward after sustaining that movement some some wounds are fatal later you can actually see
02:00:59.660
someone that receives a fatal wound and they i've seen them run 100 yards uh they can move for a
02:01:05.340
little while this is not that type of wound once he received this wound it ceased all movement and did
02:01:12.300
you i i'm gonna put attachment excuse me uh stage 535 up on the screen and uh tell the jury what this
02:01:19.820
particular image reflects please yes sir if you can look at the green funnel that i've added
02:01:25.980
just visually if you look at that green funnel that is approximately the shot shell path the shot path from the
02:01:34.620
shot shell after it uh did the injuries to paul or the direction of the shot from the shot shell
02:01:41.340
and i determined that by shot shell pellet defects that are still in the door even though the door had
02:01:48.140
been cleaned i went and looked at it myself by the way there's 18 11 of you guys watching right now
02:01:53.820
like the video man let's get 1800 likes on this thing man okay we're filming this thing for y'all midnight
02:01:58.780
right now going hard to paint and we're going to record another video for you guys after this
02:02:01.980
so you guys have some content when i'm in vegas so guys do me a favor like the video subscribe to
02:02:06.220
the channel okay uh let's get uh 1.5k likes we're at 1.2 we can easily get another 300.
02:02:11.900
run my own measurements took the width of the door i took paul's approximate height uh it's listed as
02:02:19.180
several different things dm and just you guys know paul was shot first which is why i'm showing you this
02:02:23.580
because they didn't detail how the sun was shot v shows him at five six the pathologist listed him i
02:02:29.340
believe at five nine so i had to split the difference i went somewhere in the middle
02:02:34.060
then i deducted the distance between the top of your head and the top of your shoulder so i took
02:02:41.500
another foot off then i took the width of the door and it was one other thing i looked at and that was a
02:02:47.180
void pattern that's on the door frame of the door a void pattern is caused by something being there
02:02:53.820
when the blood and biological materials are are uh let let we call it a blood letting from the wound
02:03:03.340
and there's a void pattern which tells me something was in that way and because of the narrow door
02:03:11.100
in my opinion it was paul so that's what caused that void pattern on that door so i use all of that
02:03:16.860
and i use a dowel rod and i used a protractor on the uh doorknob side of that door frame and i ran it up
02:03:24.700
and that's what helped me establish the angle of that shot pattern so as y'all can see it was doing
02:03:30.300
quite a bit of arithmetic to figure this out and we're gonna uh use the images to kind of talk about
02:03:35.980
that a little bit more specifically but quickly i want to show you 539 and 540 and see if you recognize
02:03:41.820
these images the pellet defects in the door and this is the approximate center of it here so that's
02:03:51.180
four inches above 72 that's approximately 76 inches on an 80 inch door i'm gonna show you states 536
02:04:00.300
and explain to the jury what this is and in particular how that's relevant to uh your conclusion about uh the
02:04:06.380
angle in which paul suffered the fatal head wound this is the original yeah his head was pretty much
02:04:13.180
blown out guys his brains were everywhere crime scene pictures and this is where the pellets took
02:04:18.540
their path this is where they struck and did damage to the door and you can actually still see the dents
02:04:23.180
that are documented in my photograph you can see them in the original crime scene this is a concentration
02:04:29.180
of blood that's caused by the brain exiting paul's body in the path of the shot shells and then you
02:04:37.740
also have biological material hair and blood here at the top of the door frame and that's where i drew my
02:04:44.300
conclusion you guys can see that right here what they're talking about all kinds of brain matter bone
02:04:49.900
hair everything right there in the corner illusion at some time those body parts made contact with these
02:04:58.060
sections of the door and my opinion is that it hit here hit here and then landed on the sidewalk looking
02:05:07.100
at states 537 can you explain what the jury's seeing in this image and how it relates to your opinion
02:05:16.300
about the manner in which paul suffered that fatal wound i can with a major bloodletting
02:05:23.020
especially dr kinson let me ask you i'm gonna move this podium and i actually can ask you to
02:05:28.300
step back just a hair so that uh the jurors over here can see what you're what you're saying yes sir
02:05:33.820
with a shotgun wound you know you've got hundreds well not hundreds you've got over 800 pellets that
02:05:41.100
are making damage it's not like a projectile a single projectile from a pistol or a rifle so there's mass
02:05:48.140
damage and it it throws body fluids and blood in several different directions but they follow the
02:05:53.900
path when i mentioned that it was a void pattern this is the last blood drop you can see it in the
02:06:00.140
photograph that i could see and it's uh it's approximately five foot right there and this is
02:06:10.700
not green tape that is a digital effect i put on the photograph to show the uh the void i was talking
02:06:16.620
about so at some time it's my opinion that paul was up against that door or real close to that door
02:06:22.780
to keep that blood from striking the door at the point in time that he was shot all right and the
02:06:27.420
green tape reflects that that blood pad or that uh void area that is consistent with uh paul blocking
02:06:33.980
that area is that correct yes or digital tape it's not really tape all right yes sir so that's that's
02:06:38.860
been added to yes sir okay to illustrate your opinion yes sir all right and then uh 538 i'm going to show
02:06:45.340
you this image and again uh if you can point out what's been added and and how this uh relates to
02:06:51.820
the conclusion that you're offering to the jury yes sir one thing that i looked at to determine that
02:06:56.940
it happened in the doorway and a little bit outside the doorway more outside than inside you don't just
02:07:05.100
look for the presence of biological material and blood you look for the absence of biological material and
02:07:11.420
blood here at the top it didn't have a scale or a ruler so i can't tell you exactly but looking at
02:07:18.460
some of these other objects i was able to scale it approximately four inches up here you have a void
02:07:25.500
so i know that it happened the second wound happened far enough outside of that door frame
02:07:31.820
that the actual frame kept the biological material from hitting at the very top right here i also you
02:07:39.260
guys can see the arrows pointing here right and sometimes right and you can see blood here on this
02:07:44.140
side right of the cleaning material but not as much on the other side so that gives the um the forensic
02:07:50.060
analysts right something to work with to figure out because it's not just important where the blood is
02:07:54.620
it's also important where the blood is not so you can go ahead and get a good trajectory of where the
02:07:59.420
bullets may have come from and where the victim was standing at the time of the murder and how the
02:08:03.020
murder was actually committed so um and you guys are probably going to hear the testimony later on but from
02:08:08.380
what you can basically tell here it doesn't seem like paul had much reaction time before he was shot
02:08:14.540
look at these items uh you got some medication uh canine medication or some cleaning materials and
02:08:21.260
that kind of thing up here you can see all the spatter at the front of those containers and then we got
02:08:29.340
what i call a demarcation line right here here and i drew it through most of these it's right here guys
02:08:35.980
you can see uh this is the demarcation line he's talking about as you can see on one side it's clean
02:08:42.300
on the other side it's pretty dirty with quite a bit of blood hands and that separates the blood the
02:08:50.140
blood contaminated area in the clean area so that tells me that it was at least forward of the angle
02:08:57.260
on those containers and that's why i believe he was shot the second wound happened just outside the
02:09:04.700
door frame but his feet were probably still in the door frame all right and just quickly point to the
02:09:09.100
jury we can can we see part of the door frame in this particular room you can yes sir right here
02:09:17.020
all right um what's uh been going back now to states 535 and just for the record we were just looking
02:09:25.580
at states 538 and 537 uh going back to states 535 uh did you reach any conclusion as to the location
02:09:36.220
of the shooter on that second fatal shot that paul suffered to his head yes sir i did all right and
02:09:41.180
explain that to the jury if you would okay this is important now he's going to give the location of
02:09:44.380
where it was when he got the fatal shot that actually killed him guys the shooter was right here if you're
02:09:50.700
facing that door to the right of the doorway outside and um would you have expected there to be uh in
02:10:00.940
that particular range uh any sort of uh biological evidence in that area in proximity to the shooter
02:10:10.300
yes sir i would would the door frame have potentially blocked any of that as well it would block some
02:10:16.620
and just depending on the positioning how much of the body of the shooter was exposed because uh you
02:10:25.260
know once you have that kind of catastrophic injury it's real real real fine blood blood particles and
02:10:32.380
and biological fluids that go in all directions and the closer the shooter was to the muzzle to the
02:10:39.420
exit into that firearm the more stuff you would expect um let me ask you this in your uh expert
02:10:49.260
opinion is there any way that paul's fatal head injury came from the top in a contact fashion or a
02:10:57.020
close fashion no sir i see no possible way for that and explain your conclusion in that regard to the
02:11:02.300
jury please what factors weigh against that in your actual opinion well number one i don't know of a way to
02:11:07.580
mimic this blood evidence on this door that pattern where that shot traveled through paul's shoulder
02:11:16.620
into his jaw into his brain and then took a path up and placed the biological material here at the top of
02:11:22.940
the door wow so yo hold on it went through his shoulder into his jaw and then into his brain guys
02:11:33.180
traveled through paul's shoulder traveled through paul's shoulder into his jaw into his brain and then
02:11:40.620
took a path up and placed the biological material here at the top of the door if he was shot in the
02:11:46.700
head then you'd have biological material out here on the ground or at least going down you know on the
02:11:53.420
sidewalk in front of him and it would be different than just free pouring blood you would see
02:11:59.340
this pattern and you would see those high velocity blood droplets there on the ground and plus the
02:12:06.060
shooter would have to be on the roof to shoot down into him but you wouldn't have this on the door
02:12:13.260
bam and that's how he was able to establish that he was shot up basically it seemed like he was taken
02:12:20.780
for surprise he was at the doorway shooters outside the door shoots him from the side bullet goes up
02:12:26.780
through the through the shoulder into the jaw right through the brain blows the top of his head out
02:12:31.580
guys okay so like pretty much this entire part of his head at the top was blown out because the bullet
02:12:38.060
went shoulder jaw and then bam travels upwards this way which is what he's trying to explain with the
02:12:45.340
bullet trajectory which the brain matter right on the door signifies that so that's how he was able to
02:12:53.580
come to that conclusion based on uh the injuries as well as the blood splatter is uh the bullet
02:13:00.060
trajectory etc all right and it was a shotgun that did this at close a very close range in your expert
02:13:08.060
opinion did you see any support uh or evidence in this crime scene that could support that the injuries
02:13:13.660
suffered by paul or in any manner a suicide or self-inflicted i i don't see the possibility
02:13:23.180
knowing that and why did the prosecutor ask that because he wants to establish that there is no way
02:13:28.860
that this was a self-deletion he wants to establish this was a murder okay there's no way that someone
02:13:36.460
could have shot themselves in this way to create that bullet wound pattern that blood splatter that
02:13:43.420
uh that trajectory etc it's not a contact shotgun wound and i'm i'm fairly strong and i'm bigger than
02:13:52.700
paul and notice how he said it's not a contact shotgun wound for you to actually commit self-deletion
02:13:58.140
with a shotgun the gun is big guys okay it's very awkward to you know delete yourself with a shotgun you'd
02:14:04.220
have to like put it like this and it'd have to basically touch your face so you can actually
02:14:09.020
pull the trigger and and actually do it right so it's got to be right up on you but he's saying it
02:14:13.980
wasn't a contact shot so there's no way that it could have been done that way okay this is very
02:14:18.060
important for the prosecution to establish that self-deletion was not the cause of demise here
02:14:23.420
or was and i don't know of any way you could hold that shotgun out
02:14:28.620
and and shoot yourself in that direction at that see there you go i didn't even hear this
02:14:33.260
testimony and i already knew who that's what he was going to say at angle and put that biological
02:14:37.580
material on top that door like that i don't think it's possible okay all right thank you
02:14:45.260
all right uh hey keep sending you back and forth but now
02:14:53.260
now he's gonna his arm and call say now he's gonna show up with his full all right i know i just sent
02:14:58.220
you back and we'll bring you back down i'm sorry uh guys like the video by the way man i hope you
02:15:04.460
guys are enjoying this content man breaking this down with y'all showing you guys exactly how this
02:15:08.140
went down i think this is very important to illustrate how the murders went down and the gruesome
02:15:12.220
uh you know the gruesome nature of it before we move on from paul i would and if you could just use
02:15:18.700
me as a mannequin but can you uh sort of describe to me your conclusions about the positioning of the
02:15:24.220
of paul when he suffered that fatal head wound and uh and and just how the trajectory of that wound
02:15:30.780
uh and that shot as you've uh described and as supported by the evidence as you see it can i
02:15:35.420
describe it and demonstrate yes please uh the second wound this is where the rubber meets the road my
02:15:43.660
friends as i mentioned went in his arm and caused a an injury here a a large entrance exit entrance and
02:15:53.740
then of course exit here so it had to be typically with the kind of non-fatal wound paul suffered to his
02:16:04.460
chest in his arm it's my belief that now his five foot eight frame is dipping or favoring that arm because as
02:16:13.340
you know that's that's over 20 something entrances and exits i believe it would have hurt him i believe
02:16:19.020
he would have been in pain and i believe he would have been somewhat affected and the reason i believe
02:16:24.380
that is because i've got the 90 degree blood drops look at me saying oh it's not me it's not me i think
02:16:29.740
his reaction here brings him back to the moment where he shot his son and he remembers because the side
02:16:36.540
of him is like yo i did you know he has my son at the end of the day but his reaction you know they
02:16:41.100
say a picture's worth a thousand words i think a video is worth even more it's moving really really
02:16:45.900
slow if he wasn't feeling it or if it hadn't affected him in some way i believe his youthfulness
02:16:53.260
would have allowed him to get out of there faster but he's moving real slow to the door so that's going
02:16:58.700
to drop that angle just a couple inches and i can demonstrate
02:17:03.180
all right all right if we didn't make sure that juror can see yes absolutely all right
02:17:25.020
it traveled in out in and out in a straight line
02:17:34.060
in a straight line shot always goes in a straight line and then when you're pressing the dial stick
02:17:41.020
there you're showing the trajectory of the wound not implying that was a contact thing no sir i'm not
02:17:46.300
i'm not implying it's contact i'm just showing the level of the wound all right while i'm thinking about
02:17:51.660
it uh the wound to uh paul's chest did it show evidence of stippling yes sir all right just very
02:17:58.380
quickly what is stippling commonly referred to as tattooing it's particles and material that's in that
02:18:05.420
shell that don't burn up because it's superheated at the time that the powder charge ignites it doesn't
02:18:12.540
explode it ignites and burns rapidly and that's unburnt particles of of powder and other contents of that
02:18:20.540
shell they're hot and when they hit the body they call stippling or in the old days they called it
02:18:26.460
tattooing and and that's basically what it is it works as an ink looking at uh this particular image
02:18:34.460
paul's about five feet in the third feed room when he suffers the first wound correct yes sir that is
02:18:39.020
correct and then he moves towards the door is that correct that is correct and suffers the second one
02:18:43.500
somewhere near the door frame on the inside yes sir with his shoulder just outside that door frame and when
02:18:49.740
he suffers that second wound what happens to paul he falls immediately and where does he fall he
02:18:55.820
falls outside the feed room all right um let's move on uh now and let's talk a little bit if we can
02:19:04.220
about uh the injuries to maggie burdock okay so now we we established how the son was murdered in graphic
02:19:12.060
detail uh now we're going to go into maggie the mob start out by the wife the jury uh of the injuries
02:19:21.180
that she suffered and then let's talk about your conclusions as to the manner and the order in which
02:19:26.380
those were suffering yes sir all right so it's good just to remind us again of those injuries and
02:19:31.180
if you could go ahead and describe them in the order that your expert opinion they were suffered yes sir
02:19:36.940
yes miss maggie murdock suffered three non-fatal injuries from a firearm one was through her wrist
02:19:48.220
one was her left uh upper thigh above the knee one was at her abdomen here and it exited somewhere around
02:19:56.220
her kidneys now i'm not that kind of doctor i can't tell you all the damage it did inside all those organs
02:20:02.300
and things but it ran a straight line through her body this one on her left leg and this one on her
02:20:08.140
midsection were approximately the same angle and they were really really close in distance one had
02:20:15.660
stippling that that said that it was a a foot closer than the other but that would probably fit this was
02:20:22.940
either a total separate non-fatal wound or it could have been a continuation of one of the two fatal wounds
02:20:29.340
wounds her fatal wounds were she had an abrasion or burn on the left side of her abdomen on the outside
02:20:40.940
end that bullet followed a straight pass it entered the end of her breast and did extensive damage to the
02:20:48.860
end of her breast entered her left jaw side of her face area and went into her brain that's the first fatal
02:20:57.260
injury and it was immediate and she dropped right where she was at i saw no evidence that her body
02:21:03.980
had been manipulated moved or rolled over the second thing she was in an enormous amount of pain guys with
02:21:10.940
these bullet wounds by the way like you can't even believe and she was alive for paul his stuff was his
02:21:17.180
his death was fairly quick hers was painful and took a little bit longer injury was down into her head
02:21:23.260
and it actually did what in in in the day they call a keyhole injury just from appearances the entrance and
02:21:30.620
exit in the top of her head were so close it made one big injury and then it entered into her upper
02:21:36.780
shoulders and went down into her body that would have also been a fatal wound but it was second in my
02:21:42.620
opinion that one came second all right let's uh let's talk about that a little bit a little bit more
02:21:50.460
detail those first two wounds uh that uh that you described uh you believe those are the first two
02:21:57.260
wounds she suffered yes sir and possibly three i can't tell you much about this because the arm could
02:22:02.460
have been moving or it could have been here there's all right well let's talk about the thigh wound and the
02:22:07.180
abdomen wound can you did you have any conclusions about uh the the location of the shooter as those
02:22:13.340
two wounds were were uh um suffered yes sir i did all right let me explain that to the jury
02:22:18.220
to what place right there all right left leg out a little bit about here and here here and here
02:22:40.220
and in your opinion were those two shots fired at a in fairly quick succession or around the same time
02:22:46.780
i think it would have been really really difficult to get a similar angle if they weren't uh all the
02:22:52.300
shooter had to do is raise the weapon or lower the weapon and you're still on the same plane
02:22:57.260
and those wounds to the abdomen and to the thigh uh reflect the presence of stippling they did and what
02:23:03.420
does that indicate to you about the distance between maggie and the shooter when those wounds were
02:23:08.140
suffered i guess four or five feet fairly close yes sir all right and so that means that she saw her
02:23:15.100
attacker guys she saw the shooter uh at the time after those two paul might have not seen his attacker
02:23:22.700
but she definitely did two uh wounds were suffered and again we'll put aside the wrist wind for
02:23:28.060
for a bit uh what would have happened after that in your expert opinion in my opinion at bare minimum
02:23:33.740
she would have been over she would have been in pain i believe sometime in close proximity
02:23:41.260
she fell to the ground and that's when the first fatal wound was delivered would she have been prone
02:23:46.700
on the ground or still somewhat raised by the ground or in a bent over position when that
02:23:50.620
first fatal wound was suffered in my opinion from the angle she would have been on her knees
02:23:56.940
and had at least one hand on the ground those first two shots uh well let me ask you this uh there
02:24:04.700
were obviously six shell uh shell cases that of 300 blackout that were used to murder uh maggie burdock
02:24:10.940
found at the scene is that correct that is correct explain to the jury is there what conclusions if
02:24:15.980
any can you draw about the location of those shell cases uh if any explain that to the jury a little bit
02:24:21.900
once again just like with the shotgun i'm not saying it doesn't exist but i don't think there are many
02:24:27.020
left-handed ar ar platforms so generally speaking the ejection ports could be on the right side i own seven uh
02:24:37.660
some of them throw it the ship the shell casing a little bit forward some throw it a little bit
02:24:42.140
back some throw it perfect 90 degrees to the ejection port if they were always uniform where they come
02:24:49.500
out if you go target practice you could place a bucket there and all your shell casings would drop in
02:24:53.820
the bucket you wouldn't have to bend over and pick up your shell cases unfortunately that's not
02:24:58.540
the real world so i don't put a lot into that unless i have the actual weapon and we can test
02:25:04.940
the weapon with the same ammunition and you can generally get an idea of where that shell case is
02:25:10.460
going to go so no sir i don't pay a lot of attention to it and i definitely don't think the
02:25:15.420
sequence of from one end to the other or from this end and just so you guys know let's illustrate this
02:25:20.300
so you guys understand what the hell he's talking about this is what it looks like when a uh bullet
02:25:24.940
is ejected from an air okay in slow motion one more time for y'all fires bam ejects right out the
02:25:35.900
side now obviously this is a right-handed firearm because most firearms are right-handed but you know
02:25:40.620
you would just reverse it on the left hand side but this is what it looks like for people out there
02:25:45.260
so you have a uh a visual representation of what he the guy is talking about
02:25:51.100
like the video guys all right we're going deep in this thing pause all right like the video i see
02:25:57.980
we got uh 1800 plus y'all watching but we only got 1.3k likes we should have 1800 likes on this thing
02:26:05.660
all right and to this end means that's necessarily the movement of the shooter gotcha all right um you
02:26:12.780
said that when she shoved suffered that first fatal wound in your opinion i mean she would have
02:26:17.340
been over and perhaps been on her hands and knees is that correct yes sir all right i'm gonna get
02:26:21.500
down on my hands and knees and if you could come around here and kind of show me where the trajectory
02:26:25.020
of that wound would have gone uh the first wound that was fatal for me i guess all right so guys all
02:26:30.860
right just a recap real quick here so she gets shot twice okay she gets shot in the uh it looks like
02:26:37.740
the abdomen and the leg or the thigh all right obviously at this point you're gonna fall right
02:26:43.340
to the ground your your leg's gonna give out your at your you know you get shot in the in the stomach
02:26:48.380
like oh god you're gonna hunch over right so now we're gonna go into the demonstration of what occurs
02:27:01.260
in full detail we show an excerpt of it from the other one but now we're gonna see in full detail
02:27:09.100
so the shooter sees her uh shoots her at this point she's probably pleading please don't kill
02:27:13.580
me please don't kill me etc etc and you know this just think about the callousness you have to have
02:27:18.940
to be able to walk around and shoot the individual again from the back you probably
02:27:34.460
the shooter was right here approximately right here
02:27:39.100
all right and show us the trajectory as it went uh through maggie into her brain yes it burned or
02:27:45.500
raised her stomach outside to inside went through the end of her breast into her jaw and then into her
02:27:54.060
brain okay and what would have been the effect on her once that shot was suffered she would have
02:27:59.020
immediately fell down with the front of her body all right and that is the position her arms were in
02:28:04.460
the original crime scene photographs and while i'm down here so i don't have to get up again tell me about
02:28:08.940
the fatal shot and the positioning of the shooter as the evidence indicates to you the second shot was not as
02:28:18.700
it was approximately here into the crown of the head bam so he walked he shot her up front
02:28:27.580
right so he shoots her up front twice bang bang right
02:28:31.260
in the in the ab and in the leg goes behind her shoots again then he walks in front of her
02:28:40.780
and shoots her a third time guys all right and obviously you know he's doing maybe one or two taps as
02:28:45.660
he's doing this so this is wild right probably didn't want to see her she was looking at him saying don't
02:28:51.260
shoot me goes behind her shoots her she falls on the floor at that point because it hit her brain so
02:28:55.740
at that point all motor function is pretty much gone and then he has to do obviously the final
02:29:02.460
it comes and shoots her from the front sick bastard sick yeah bro holy now i also want to let y'all know
02:29:11.660
that at this point him and his wife were not living together and they were having marital issues guys
02:29:17.660
they definitely were he actually called her to go see her see him good point yes that is true
02:29:24.540
she had he had called her um because they had not been speaking she was living at another house at
02:29:28.780
the time guys and he called her i think it was to go see his dying father correct yeah one of his
02:29:34.380
dying parents both of his parents are are old and sick so uh no randolph is that uh that's who it was
02:29:43.260
yes okay so that's who he wanted her to go see and she she went and she showed up and this is what ended
02:29:48.940
up happening and uh use the dowel stick to show that injury that might be suffered
02:29:56.620
hey angie can you do me a favor can you go ahead and do what you do best and grab the crime scene
02:30:00.140
photos for this and we'll put them in the in the description for them yeah sure well we'll get you
02:30:03.820
guys the unedited crime scene photos i won't be able to show them here but i know some y'all are
02:30:07.420
probably requesting them so uh angie will go ahead and dig them up for you guys yeah you sick bastards
02:30:12.540
she's good at finding them ian out ian in that line okay thank you bam and that explains the uh the
02:30:29.580
shooting okay guys now you guys know in graphic detail how it was done all right so the other thing
02:30:35.420
i want to go over with y'all is we're going to go over the phone data which was very important
02:30:42.540
okay deleting phone calls sex messages all that blah blah so let's go into it
02:30:48.540
all right welcome back to long crime everybody i'm jesse weber and thanks for joining us we're
02:30:51.980
waiting to jump back live into the alec murdoch trial the man accused of murdering his wife maggie
02:30:57.180
and son paul on the property in june 2021. right now it is all about the defendant's cell phone and i
02:31:03.900
want to break that down i'm joined by two special guests i think we're working on getting forensic
02:31:07.740
death investigator joseph scott morgan and if you guys were watching fed it y'all already know
02:31:11.660
the importance of cell phones and how critical they are to investigations okay it's a big reason
02:31:15.980
why serial killers back in the 70s 80s and 90s weren't getting caught like that ted bundy
02:31:20.380
jeffrey dommer john wayne gacy etc they were able to do all this craziness because uh the advent of the
02:31:25.500
modern cell phone was not around to track these sick bucks down but now they are okay cell phones is
02:31:31.820
the reason why ymw melly is going to go to jail all right guys very powerful evidence because it
02:31:37.340
could pin you down literally to the foot but right now we do have with us criminal defense attorney and
02:31:43.500
host of the defense diaries podcast bob mada bob good to see you thanks for coming on so we've heard
02:31:51.100
a lot of interesting testimony today about alec murdoch's cell phone something that is usually attached
02:31:57.260
to us we've learned about a which i thought was really interesting that the calls that he allegedly
02:32:03.420
made to maggie were wiped away from his call log the reason we know those exist because if you look at
02:32:08.380
her call log they exist that's a b we learned about the recorded steps with the phone which a you know
02:32:15.500
it makes me wonder if these steps were happening when he said he had was taking a nap at the house and
02:32:20.860
why there are so many steps at really curious moments and also about how many messages he read and
02:32:26.540
when he read them what are you taking away from this testimony to me it's the strongest evidence
02:32:34.140
they've put forth so far i mean it's it's damning in the sense that it looks like there's way too much
02:32:40.460
going on you know i mean when you look at the amount of steps that were taken it just doesn't look like
02:32:46.620
the guy was calling his wife so it's going to be problematic i mean they're going to have to try to
02:32:51.740
dismantle the defense uh it's going to have to try to dismantle what's what's going on with this
02:32:57.020
because and again another reason why this is so critical guys why the phone information stands
02:33:01.980
even stronger is because he claimed that he was not there it it stinks of impropriety to say the least
02:33:09.340
um and i'm a defense attorney if i was his attorney i'd be concerned about that but you know they can't
02:33:15.580
be shocked about it either that this isn't as much as his attorney seemed to have a hard time
02:33:20.940
understanding yesterday during the testimony exactly what the codes meant um you know this isn't a shock
02:33:27.660
for them i'm anticipating that they'll have some kind of way to try to offset what i consider to be
02:33:34.300
very damaging evidence so again just to give you an idea joseph 74 steps recorded between 805 and 809 283
02:33:43.580
steps recorded between 902 and 906 is when we believe after the killings happen and then at 908
02:33:50.540
is when alec murdoch texts his wife saying he's going to go see his mother what stands out to you
02:33:56.860
well i think that you know it it does uh our colleague mentioned smacking of impropriety you
02:34:03.020
know you begin to think about uh his actions uh uh certainly leading up but then afterwards um you know
02:34:11.420
and what how how how in the world would would these things be wiped on his end i do know this i've
02:34:17.740
gotten a peek at that potential witness list in this case and it is rather robust on the defensive side
02:34:25.660
relative to electronic evidence i think that that's that's something that we're going to be seeing
02:34:32.700
because um you know as was mentioned um this is a fire that the defense is going to have to put out
02:34:40.620
they're going to have to address it and one other thing i um prosecution is going to have to do a
02:34:47.820
very good job of keeping this very simple not getting into the weeds with a lot of the technical
02:34:54.700
data but really preaching to the jury about what this means in a very basic level i agree with you and
02:35:01.340
talking about one of the complications for the prosecution's cases we don't have the murder
02:35:05.180
weapons right those murder weapons weren't recovered that brings me to john beddingfield who was
02:35:10.540
actually assembled certain weapons for the defendant now before you say oh my goodness what are you
02:35:15.020
talking about well this is a family that had a lot of weapons on their property so the idea put forward
02:35:20.220
by the prosecution is we might not have the murder weapons but i tell you what we do have
02:35:24.300
we can match the ammunition that was found near the bodies uh with the ammunition that was found on
02:35:29.180
different parts parts of the property and we can make the assumption that the family murder weapons are the
02:35:33.900
murder or the family weapons of the murder weapons let's go back to john beddingfield this is him
02:35:37.500
actually being cross-examined by the defense from yesterday let's listen to where they went you
02:35:43.260
mentioned that you and alan murdoch are um related um how are you related our grandmothers were sisters
02:35:54.540
and does that make and you're i call a second cousins we're cousins your your fathers were first
02:36:00.140
cousins correct okay and you spend over the years you spend time with alec and the boys i have not
02:36:07.740
not a lot with alec mostly with john marvin and you go have you been camping with alec and the boys at um
02:36:16.380
i think that'd be the dad who shows to be camp every year i have and you've been fishing with not much
02:36:22.700
been hunting with no sir not alec okay i have the john right um you've known alec for quite some time
02:36:32.700
my entire life are you um you well a gift of some eight thousand dollars is a pretty nice gift for
02:36:43.420
two boys right yes sir uh did you ever observe alec around the sons what kind of relationship they had
02:36:51.980
i have and how would you describe their relationship it was always good i mean he would when he called
02:36:57.900
me he was excited about getting these for his boys and it was a big christmas for them yes all right
02:37:14.700
is it um less expensive to buy a 300 blackout directly from palmont state armory
02:37:21.500
rather than have you build one it can be depending on configuration and all the
02:37:28.940
any accessories that get added and okay and we're looking now at the first page
02:37:33.900
now describe to the jury what that is please that is the canceled check
02:37:39.900
from alec for the original two firearms for the original two yes and what's the price on that please
02:37:45.420
i can bring it to you i got it nine thousand one hundred and eighty eight dollars all right and
02:37:52.140
what's the date on oh they those are some expensive guns mad please i'm sorry what's the date on that
02:37:58.540
twelve twenty three sixteen all right and this is this a record that you kept in accordance with
02:38:03.260
your ffl obligations the check no sir we retrieved that from my bank yeah all right
02:38:11.500
go to the second page of this exhibit um you recognize that tell me what that is please that is the
02:38:16.860
the check for the third replacement 300 blackout to maggie murdoch that's the check she wrote to me
02:38:23.980
all right what's the amount on that one eight hundred seventy five dollars all right so the first
02:38:28.460
one for two of them was nine thousand one hundred eighty eight dollars correct yes sir and the second
02:38:33.020
one is only 875 is that right yes my man spent over 10k to make this happen holy the difference between
02:38:40.780
those that the second one didn't have the optic and didn't have the suppressor sling part of the
02:38:46.060
difference yes sir okay all right we'll talk about that in a second but right now i want to bring in
02:38:50.700
law and law and crime correspondent gg mckelvie who is outside of that courthouse in walterborough
02:38:56.300
south carolina gg it's good to see you what a morning right i mean what did you take away
02:39:02.060
from what did you learn that we didn't know before about alec murdoch's phone
02:39:09.180
good morning jesse well we've learned that alec largely deleted most of the calls he made that night
02:39:15.740
except for one to rogan who had his dog there at the kennels other than that it seems every other
02:39:21.340
phone call he made was deleted from his cell phone and what about the the tracking location because i
02:39:29.260
thought the amount of steps were interesting they went through a whole list of time frames and how
02:39:33.580
many steps and and obviously it's not an exact science but it does tell us something and the
02:39:39.500
things that i'm thinking about well how does that match up to what his alibi is which is he never went
02:39:45.100
down to the kennels he fell asleep after dinner right that says the last time he saw his family was dinner
02:39:50.540
then he goes to visit his mother then tries to call maggie then comes back she goes to the kennels
02:39:56.300
and discovers the body what what are those what is the tracking of the steps on the cell phone tell us
02:40:02.860
well what's interesting to me is the most steps that he took was between 902 and 906 pm which is when
02:40:09.180
he says he left to go see his mother that was 283 steps apparently he said he leaves the house gets in his
02:40:16.780
car it's a lot of steps from the house to the car it seems and everybody kind of was looking around
02:40:23.100
thinking yeah that that's a long distance to walk just to go to your car and that's it there was also
02:40:30.860
information i thought it was interesting about what his general activity is in terms of when he reads
02:40:36.780
messages which i gotta tell you i didn't even know there was a science to it but i'm sure if you look
02:40:41.180
at anybody's cell phone there's probably a pattern there was a pattern with him is it any different uh
02:40:47.580
during the night in question it is they said that normally he would read text messages anywhere between
02:40:54.620
5 to 40 minutes after they were received but the group text which involved the condition of his
02:41:00.460
father being in the hospital wasn't read until the next day after the murders so so walk me through this
02:41:07.660
i've been of the opinion that the prosecution has done a really strong job of showing when these killings
02:41:13.740
happen can you walk us through based on what we've seen so far in this case including today
02:41:19.100
can we be defend are we pretty sure that the killings happen at eight around 8 50 pm
02:41:25.580
well yeah because what you have is maggie reading her last text at 8 49 pm and 27 seconds paul's last text that he read
02:41:35.500
was just 30 seconds or so after that and then no more activity from either phone so
02:41:42.140
it lets you know sometime after 8 49 pm is likely when those murders occurred and we have alec leaving
02:41:51.660
the house at 10 06 okay and that is 906 i'm sorry right and and i think he calls 911 what an hour later
02:41:58.620
at 10 06 or something like that so walk me through right why it's so important they're leading up see how
02:42:03.980
the timeline doesn't make sense guys they died at around 8 50 pm but he didn't call the police until
02:42:09.100
over an hour later and all these steps in between what was he doing to this because what the big
02:42:16.380
finale is not even the big fan alley but like the crescendo of their case is going to be that video
02:42:21.660
from paul that video that was taken on his phone what time was that video is it 8 44 is it 8 47 i can't
02:42:28.300
seem to recall and on the video is allegedly you can hear alec murdoch with him at the kennels which
02:42:35.660
would contradict what he told police but also place him at the crime scene walk us through what we should
02:42:40.940
expect from the timing of that video and why it's important well that was around 8 44 that paul took
02:42:48.140
that cell phone video of his friend's dog now here we have the last text being read just a couple of
02:42:55.660
minutes after that then no activity so you have a three or four minute window there where we know alec
02:43:01.260
is there by the dog kennels at 8 44 and within three or four minutes the last texts are read by both maggie
02:43:07.980
and paul and no more activity from their phone so i think it kind of starts to get a picture of exactly
02:43:14.140
when those murders could have allegedly happened at the hand of alec murdoch gg what's the environment
02:43:20.940
like in the courtroom i mean the jurors and i would say it's the most accurate because the reality is
02:43:25.180
people are glued to their phones so if the phone locks and it hasn't been open for a significant
02:43:30.060
amount of time and you know the individual that was deceased in that period of time it's fair to say
02:43:35.260
that that it's probably closer to the time the phone locked that that individual probably may have
02:43:41.260
been uh incapacitated okay so and then on top of that uh you know you have the forensics that show how
02:43:48.060
long they had the time of death you got the bullet uh trajectories you got the wounds etc uh and then
02:43:53.500
you got his multiple steps in the area contrary to what he had told the police this is this case
02:43:59.020
guys is heavily circumstantial now what does a circumstantial case means it means that on one
02:44:04.700
piece of evidence alone it's not enough however when you go ahead and put all the pieces of evidence
02:44:09.740
together it starts to create a puzzle for you and it illustrates what more than likely happened and how
02:44:16.540
whatever was purported to have been happened to have happened could not have happened so in this
02:44:20.860
case your boy murdoch says i wasn't there blah blah blah but you find out that he was lying okay well
02:44:26.860
the fact that he was lying shows that he's not credible which we're going to talk about here in
02:44:29.420
a second when he takes a stand which was definitely i was going to ask you to write that down yeah we're
02:44:33.740
going to play some of that as well but the point is is that circumstantial evidence a lot of the times
02:44:39.340
what it does is it paints a picture that it could not have been except for this scenario that we're
02:44:44.620
displaying for you guys here because all this evidence by itself might not be strong enough
02:44:49.660
but it is significant and irrefutable and will put together with other pieces of circumstantial evidence
02:44:54.860
it paints the picture right and unlocks the real story of what happened contrary to what the defendant
02:45:01.660
is saying that's the power of circumstantial uh evidence you look at the ymle case which i suggest
02:45:07.100
you guys should all go watch that as well very similar case where he's denying killing his two friends
02:45:12.700
but when you look at the bullet wounds the bullet trajectory uh the lies that they made the witness
02:45:17.420
testimony etc it all contradicts the physical evidence so you don't have to have a murder weapon
02:45:23.820
guys a lot of the times to be able to prove that someone committed the act paying careful attention
02:45:31.100
to this cell phone evidence sometimes it can be a bit dry sometimes you can see jurors kind of fading
02:45:36.700
interest and you know not falling you know hopefully not falling asleep do they seem attentive
02:45:42.620
they seem very attentive it's a little hard to keep up with the times um because they're being said so
02:45:47.740
quickly but they are all ears nobody has really moved everybody's kind of just sitting in their seat
02:45:53.340
hanging on every word of this expert very intriguing stuff and now we actually have a display in the
02:45:59.100
courtroom we can see the non-graphic exhibits but yeah i mean it's really starting to put a little
02:46:05.180
bit of that picture together at least nailing down the time of those murders we think i'll tell you
02:46:09.500
i i think today was more interesting than yesterday there was only so much more i could hear about 300
02:46:15.580
blackout rounds and different kinds of ammunition it's important but again you don't have the murder
02:46:20.140
weapons it's kind of remember what the purpose of it was this is fine very fascinating and the reason
02:46:25.660
why they suck so much on the 300 blackout guys probably wondering why do they care so much
02:46:29.100
about this 300 blackout because it's a fairly rare round that isn't used often let's uh gg thank you
02:46:36.140
so much i know you have to jump back in the courtroom appreciate reporting great reporting as always
02:46:39.980
we're gonna take a quick break when all right so uh let's go guys real quick i only we got 1800 plus
02:46:46.140

benet ramsey case or maybe declassified case so yo like the video subscribe to the channel all right
02:47:44.140
uh okay we should be at 1700 likes right now easy um i couldn't find the the the pictures of like the
02:47:53.900
i just have like the autopsy one that is leaked and actually the the judge uh-huh of the of the case
02:48:03.420
the he warned about the leaked picture so i just have one leaked picture and that's it like maggie
02:48:09.980
here and it's just you see can you see like this screenshot of the of the trial the trial computer
02:48:16.780
so yeah all right we could put the link in the description for them yeah so they could check it
02:48:21.100
out that's it all right fair enough i'm not surprised that everything is censored censored okay all right
02:48:27.660
so uh this is uh alex murdoch taking a stand guys um and this is an excerpt from him taking
02:48:32.540
a stand which i tell you all the time taking a stand as a defendant is one of the dumbest things
02:48:35.820
that you could do quite frankly very you stupid but at the end of the day uh the defendant ultimately
02:48:41.500
chooses if they want to take the stand which he chose to take the stand stupid as a lawyer i don't
02:48:45.500
know why the hell he took the stand but i guess he probably looked at it like yo it's a hail mary let
02:48:49.500
me get on the stand anyway because i want to be able to give the jury my take on the situation but
02:48:55.180
what does that do that opens them up to cross examination from the prosecution which is
02:49:00.220
typically where you take a big l you're stupid yeah really
02:49:11.420
mr murdoch is that you so this is defense counsel this is on direct on the kennel video at 8 44 p.m on
02:49:19.820
the night maggie and paul were murdered it is were you in fact at the kennels at 8 44 p.m on the night
02:49:28.060
maggie and paul were murdered i was okay so this is a defense by the this is a strategy by the defense
02:49:34.620
they know that the prosecution is about to attack the hell out of them and call them a liar so they're
02:49:40.060
getting ahead of it and they're saying okay tell us were you there yes you were now they're going to
02:49:46.380
ask him more than likely and i haven't even seen this so i'm just predicting here let's see if i'm
02:49:50.060
right they're going to probably ask him an open-ended question and ask him in his own words to explain
02:49:54.700
why he lied so that he can give uh a sympathy based response to the jury remember guys the
02:50:01.020
jury are human beings okay uh if you can appeal to the feels you might be able to go ahead and beat
02:50:08.060
the real which in this case we know that this dude killed his family so let's keep going did you
02:50:13.260
lie to slid agent owen and deputy laura rutland on the night of june 7th and told them that you stayed
02:50:22.060
at the house after dinner i did lie to them did you lie to agent owen and agent croft on the follow-up
02:50:28.940
interview on june 10th that the last time you saw maggie and paul was at dinner i did lie to them
02:50:37.100
and in the interview of august 11th did you tell agent owen and agent croft did you lie to them
02:50:49.580
by telling them that you were not down at the kennels on that night yes
02:50:57.580
boom alec why did you lie to agent owen agent croft and deputy rutland about the left now this is where the
02:51:06.060
defense is going to go ahead and posture and make a stand for why he lied to defend against the
02:51:11.580
prosecution's eminent beating that they're about to give this guy on the stand last time you saw maggie
02:51:18.540
and paul as my addiction evolved over time i would get in these situations or circumstances where i would
02:51:29.420
get paranoid thinking uh it could be anything that triggered it might be a look somebody gave me it
02:51:36.220
might be a reaction somebody had to something i did um it might be a policeman following me in in a car
02:51:57.820
don't talk to anybody without danny with you all my partners were just repeatedly telling me that
02:52:06.620
i had a deputy sheriff taking gunshot tests from my hands
02:52:11.740
i'm sitting in a police car with david owen asking me about my relationship with my wife and my son
02:52:25.100
and all those things coupled together after finding them coupled with my distrust for sled
02:52:37.580
when these paranoid thoughts would hit me i could take a deep breath real quick just think about it reason
02:52:46.860
my way through it and just get past it really quickly
02:52:53.100
i wasn't thinking clearly i don't think i was capable of reason
02:53:12.060
there's his son in the shot right there buster and i lied about being down there and that is not a joke
02:53:18.700
that is his real name and i'm so sorry that i did
02:54:00.140
i would never intentionally do anything to hurt either one of them
02:54:26.780
did you continue lying after that night did you not but once i lied i continued to lie yes sir
02:54:33.660
so just to sum this up for y'all the reason why he lied was because he was on the drugs
02:54:47.660
you know oh what a tangled web we weave but once i told the lie
02:55:18.140
alex tell the jury what happened on the evening of
02:55:39.340
it's just regular morning maggie was leaving to go
02:55:51.260
she was she was going to a doctor's appointment
02:55:56.380
all right so yeah i just bought the story right now we're going to go ahead and go into
02:56:01.500
the cross examination from the prosecution this is 22 minute video but we're not going to play the
02:56:05.340
whole thing we're going to uh skim through this thing guys we got 17 out watching like the video
02:56:10.380
subscribe to the channel okay most importantly like the video let's get to 1700 likes let's get
02:56:14.380
100 engagement on this bad boy all right everybody to understand i do not dispute that i stole money
02:56:22.140
that was not my money that i misled people to do that that i misled people that
02:56:28.220
trusted me alec murdoch on the hot seat under cross-examination is he telling the truth or is he lying
02:56:37.420
the jury will have to decide and here's the problem when you take the stand when you've
02:56:41.500
already been proven to be a liar all your testimony is going to be considered what stop the cap
02:56:48.540
i'm anginette lee you're no longer a credible witness evie and welcome to law and crime sidebar
02:56:53.340
podcast one of the first things that creighton waters the assistant attorney general representing
02:56:59.020
the state of south carolina did when he was cross-examining alec murdoch assistant attorney
02:57:04.300
general that's like the second guy in charge of all prosecution in the state of south carolina
02:57:09.500
was ask him about his claim that he didn't trust sled and that's why he lied about being at the kennels
02:57:15.900
on the night of the murders it's curious because the murdoch family has basically been a part of law
02:57:21.340
enforcement for a century in the area murdoch was a volunteer assistant solicitor and carried a couple
02:57:28.220
of badges one belonging to him and one belonging to his grandfather he was asked about carrying one
02:57:34.700
when he and his dad showed up at the hospital on the night of the boat crash involving his son paul
02:57:41.740
i'll show you what's been marked as states 569 and you recognize the person on the right in that image
02:57:51.340
you know sir you don't recognize that i don't recognize him no i'm asking about that oh me is
02:57:59.900
that you yeah it looks like me all right what's hanging out of your pocket in plain view looks like
02:58:04.540
a badge you didn't recall that until i just showed you that picture no sir i did not you're on it off
02:58:10.300
for states 569 and evidence okay admit it so now he's starting to destroy his testimony oh you don't
02:58:17.740
trust police but you're walking around with a badge gotcha bitch
02:58:24.860
that's you in the white shirt is that right yes sir it is and this is the badge hanging out
02:58:37.500
of your pocket you remember which is that correct looks to be yes sir which badge is that which one
02:58:42.380
of the two do you remember no you can't tell from here okay why'd you have it hanging out of your pocket
02:58:48.220
like that i don't remember having that i don't know you don't remember that i i don't remember
02:58:54.540
that no sir did you generally walk around with your badge hanging out of your pocket
02:58:59.900
generally speaking no sir i did not or only when you wanted some advantage from it
02:59:07.180
did i did i want some advantage from wearing it like that
02:59:10.700
did i hang it out my pocket when i wanted an advantage yes
02:59:13.900
i i i may have i certainly may have what advantage did you want when then i don't even recall this
02:59:27.580
mr waters but if i was wanting some advantage as you say it i guess and i don't remember this but i
02:59:36.700
guess i would want uh you know as i said a badge has a warming effect with other law enforcement
02:59:46.780
and so if i was seeking any advantage as you say then i guess that would be what it was
02:59:53.180
all right so we got the badge see how we danced around it but he basically
02:59:56.060
came to the final conclusion like i want preferential treatment because i'm a murdoch
03:00:02.380
maybe accidentally hanging out of your pocket you won't concede that you did that purposefully
03:00:06.700
i mean mr waters if you want me to say i did that on purpose i don't have a problem with that i'm
03:00:13.420
saying i don't remember that all right so can i tell you that i did that on purpose no sir i can't
03:00:19.900
can i say that that this happened by accident no sir i can't what i can say is i don't remember it
03:00:26.620
and that's not how i would normally that's just not how i would normally
03:00:34.460
you know that's that's just not it's not something i did that's not a normal thing so i don't know
03:00:42.620
when asked by creighton waters alec murdoch says he was aware there was a criminal investigation underway
03:00:49.020
into the investigation of the boat crash and the claim that alec murdoch tried to influence the
03:00:55.820
witnesses the victims of that boat crash by getting them to and you was right not talk to
03:01:01.900
law enforcement among other things another really big moment on cross-examination happened when alec
03:01:08.060
murdoch claimed that he wanted to meet with law enforcement after his arrest to tell them about his
03:01:14.220
opioid addiction and other things involving the financial crimes but creighton waters said
03:01:20.700
there was no such meeting requested alec murdoch didn't want to do that and he simply changes his
03:01:26.380
story to fit the evidence and mr waters just to be clear i was begging for a meeting with y'all to try
03:01:33.980
to bring this to a close to to talk to y'all about everything up until the time that y'all charged me
03:01:40.060
with hurting maggie and paul now at after that point in time
03:01:48.460
i stopped obviously that you were begging for a meeting and information but you admit information
03:01:54.540
was never conveyed that you wanted to change your story after multiple interviews with law enforcement
03:02:02.060
about what happened that night including the most important fact of all which is when the last time you
03:02:07.580
supposedly saw your wife and son alive was i don't know exactly what was conveyed or not because to
03:02:15.020
you because i wasn't part of all i know is what i was trying to do was to sit down
03:02:23.340
i understood to bring all this to a close that y'all would want me to sit down and go through all of
03:02:30.380
these financial things all of these things that i've done wrong and to try to bring that to a close
03:02:38.620
yeah he yeah seriously stop the cap he ain't doing that he's a lawyer he knows anything that
03:02:42.540
he says so police will be used against him in a court of law he's not stupid he ain't doing that
03:02:46.620
i was repeatedly trying to sit down with y'all the reality is mr murdoch is the reason why no one's
03:02:53.660
ever heard that before it's because you had to sit in this courtroom and hear your family and your
03:02:58.780
friends one after the other come in and testify that you were on that kennel video so you like
03:03:03.660
you've done so many times over the course of your life had to back up and make a new story that kind
03:03:08.380
of fit with the facts that can't be denied isn't that true sir no sir that's not true you've done that
03:03:14.220
over and over again over the years with all of this we've been talking about haven't you
03:03:17.100
i've done what over and over again the second that you're confronted with facts that you can't deny
03:03:24.460
you immediately come up with a new lie isn't that correct
03:03:31.660
mr waters have we established i have lied many times but i can't sit here and tell you that what
03:03:37.660
are you talking about facts that i can't deny that i i would disagree with that proposition that
03:03:43.340
you're putting out that that was what i did all the time but in in doing that i admit again that i
03:03:59.340
so we can agree that the prosecution and law enforcement and so many of your friends and family
03:04:08.460
heard for the first time your story about the kennels yesterday after all these weeks of testimony
03:04:16.940
can we agree on that the law enforcement my partners and my friends heard me say that for the first time
03:04:27.100
yes i agree with that i think everyone watching this case has been wondering where did all of the money
03:04:32.700
go they between eight million and ten million dollars that alec murdoch has admitted to stealing
03:04:38.700
from clients as he's testified he was questioned about his lifestyle and whether or not he considered
03:04:45.100
himself living a wealthy lifestyle would you concede with me that not all this money was going
03:04:50.860
to pills at this point in time guys 1.5k likes we're going to finish this video off strong i need
03:04:56.460
y'all to get me to 1.7k likes 100 engagement before you close the video all right
03:05:09.500
no i doubt that it was okay and it was being used to support your wealthy lifestyle
03:05:17.980
well i haven't looked at all these documents to know exactly what was being spent where but here's
03:05:25.260
what i do know i know that i was making a bunch of money and i should have had i should have had
03:05:33.340
more money than i did and i know that i was spending a bunch of money on pills and i know that
03:05:42.540
you know i just i don't remember in 2011 if those i just can't remember those land deals but
03:05:47.900
you know if if i spent money on other things i don't dispute that either i just haven't looked
03:05:58.300
but you would at least concede that the money you were stealing was going to support
03:06:04.220
your ever expanding wealthy lifestyle would you concede that did all of the money i stole
03:06:11.260
any of it mr murdoch any of it yeah i would certainly agree that
03:06:14.940
there was money that that didn't go to buy just pills all right and you would concede that even
03:06:21.660
though you were generating millions of dollars in fees that was not enough for you would you concede
03:06:29.660
that if if by concede that you mean was i also stealing money that i shouldn't have yes sir i agree
03:06:39.020
with that i've said that repeatedly we know that alec murdoch has stolen from many clients one of
03:06:45.340
them was a teenager creighton waters questioned alec murdoch about that let's talk about uh let's
03:06:52.300
start with natasha thomas do you remember her i do how old was she when she became your client i'm not
03:06:58.860
sure she was young she was a teenager i'm not sure but i know she was young she was underage correct
03:07:04.700
but yes she was underage i do believe that all right i know that and can you tell me what the uh
03:07:12.620
she was injured in this wreck with uh in an automobile wreck correct yes and the company
03:07:20.140
michelin that was uh one of the defendants for an alleged tire issue is that correct that is correct
03:07:25.740
all right and do you remember how much natasha thomas got
03:07:28.300
in that particular case and i can show it to you on 334 you remember how much you got as a gross
03:07:34.060
settlement i believe it shows two million two million dollars two million dollars all right
03:07:38.220
and how much were your or pmp these fees that would be attributed to you and that out of that two million
03:07:44.060
dollars eight hundred thousand dollars eight hundred thousand dollars yes sir all right excuse me yes sir
03:07:57.740
all right and so that would be eight hundred thousand dollars in fees that would get attributed to you
03:08:02.380
that has nothing to do with the money that you subsequently stole from that teenager
03:08:06.940
that is correct all right when you did that did you sit down with her much as you sat down with this
03:08:35.900
jury and explain to her what was going on while you were stealing her money that would be the normal
03:08:43.980
process but i nope i certainly don't remember specifically doing that that would be the normal
03:08:49.980
process correct that would be it may be a little different with a teenager but certainly i mean you
03:08:56.860
would sit down with them across the table and go through these documents correct
03:09:00.220
if that that would not be abnormal yes sir all right and then you would try you would explain to
03:09:08.460
them what was going on and how they were getting everything they were entitled to correct if i was
03:09:13.500
the one doing it yes sir and you would look them in the eye while you did that correct it wouldn't be
03:09:18.860
unusual for me to look them in the eye while you were doing some fast talking to a teenager correct
03:09:23.180
i certainly was not telling her the truth i don't know if i was talking fast or slow but i wasn't
03:09:31.340
telling the truth creighton waters that boy took the money from her bro also asked alec murdoch about
03:09:38.620
what he was doing the weekend before the murders and basically murdoch and his wife maggie were in
03:09:44.860
columbia for a baseball game but alec murdoch was spending a lot of time in the hotel guys we're still
03:09:50.380

03:10:52.620
we work harder than all these pussy motherfuckers and y'all know it too man
03:10:57.980
pal and water suggested he may have been doing that because he was agitated all right tell the jury
03:11:06.380
where were you when these sets were taking place i was in the hotel and where what city were you in
03:11:23.820
i'm not exactly sure where they were when they first started but they would have been somewhere
03:11:30.300
between a hotel a restaurant and the ball field all right but when you send this text on
03:11:36.460
june 6th at 11 41 you say y'all in seat already correct yes that's what i did say all right and
03:11:45.020
they say yeah maggie says yes we like these seats is that correct all right that's correct i didn't
03:11:49.980
notice that so at that point in time they are in the ballpark all right and then you respond
03:11:57.500
better than last night they extended checkout to one
03:12:00.380
going to come then is that correct that's what that text says yes sir all right so you're back
03:12:15.260
later on you text after she asked you to bring a charger and says muggy you text i'm dreading it
03:12:22.380
see you in a little bit is that correct that's what i said yes sir
03:12:30.700
she responds don't come but then asks about the charger and says it's hot is that correct
03:12:40.860
mr warden yes i assume you were reading it exactly so yes sir
03:12:45.580
she eventually responds not crowded but not the place to come if you don't feel well very hot and
03:13:02.940
muggy we are inside sitting at the bar very nice indoors is that correct that's what it says yes sir
03:13:08.380
and then you respond out by accident they are making me leave so i'll see y'all in a few is that
03:13:15.100
correct that's correct and who was making you leave where uh it was it was past checkout time at the hotel
03:13:24.460
after you've gotten an extended checkout correct it appears so
03:13:27.900
and the reality is is that you were in that hotel suffering from withdrawals when that's going
03:13:43.500
on is that correct i was beginning to yes sir all right and the reality is is that
03:13:49.500
your wife and your son were on you at that time period because they had found pills just a few weeks
03:13:58.460
prior no sir that's not correct then creighton waters moved on to the lead up to that kennel video
03:14:07.980
on the day of the murders the all-important which is not true because they definitely did
03:14:12.620
see the pills and paul had texted him saying hey mom found the pills and she's not happy
03:14:18.060
so that was stop the cow from him kennel video taken at 8 44 p.m murdoch talked about eating dinner
03:14:25.660
with paul and maggie before paul and maggie went down to the kennels and what did you do after that
03:14:32.540
i came back out sat out on the couch to eat dinner what about what time was that
03:14:39.020
a few minutes later it didn't take me long to shower
03:14:41.500
and you say paul was already eating at that point he was you say he left first
03:14:51.340
what i what i said is he got up and he finished eating and he left our immediate vicinity now um
03:15:03.020
i don't believe he left at that point given what i've looked at time records and all i believe
03:15:12.220
that he was around the house for a little bit longer and just to be clear but i didn't see him
03:15:21.740
all of this detail was people were hearing for the first time yesterday like we talked about before
03:15:26.300
correct say that again all of this detail that we're going through right now is not
03:15:33.980
anything that you related before we're all hearing this for the first time yesterday objection your
03:15:38.940
honor fifth amendment privilege jackson's overruled so yes i i did not tell law enforcement
03:16:03.180
actually i don't think law enforcement asked me what i did when we first went to the house but
03:16:07.180
i clearly lied to law enforcement about what i what i said yesterday okay and all of this the last
03:16:16.460
time you saw your supposedly saw your wife and child all of this detail you you as a lawyer and
03:16:24.140
a prosecutor didn't think that was important to offer on your own oh i think it's important you told
03:16:29.740
this jury how cooperative you were been you've been and how much information you want to provide but
03:16:33.900
you left out the most important parts didn't you i left out i left out that i sure did you don't
03:16:40.700
consider that one the most gotcha bitch i think it's important now since the murders happened alec
03:16:47.420
murdoch has never mentioned being down at the kennels with paul and maggie but on the stand he had to admit
03:16:54.140
it because his voice is on the video we've all heard it that kennel video happened and was taken by paul
03:16:59.900
at 8 44 p.m nobody knew about that video until march of 2022 almost a year after the murders
03:17:08.460
alec murdoch says that he took that chicken out of bubba's mouth and then went straight back to the
03:17:14.220
house prosecutors though say five minutes later paul and maggie were murdered listen to alec murdoch's
03:17:20.700
explanation oh it is gonna be good down there for a couple minutes i think you've said now before you get
03:17:26.140
off the golf cart about yes sir all right and where do you go at that point i take the chicken
03:17:36.220
from bubba all right so you get up well i mean bubba's you know bubba's come out there with this
03:17:43.020
chicken showing us hey i caught this chicken and i take the chicken from bubba
03:17:49.820
he came up by the golf cart he came up to maggie and i which i was on the golf cart she's by the
03:17:57.980
golf cart i mean he's not coming to the golf cart but he's coming to us is this during the kennel
03:18:02.460
video or is this after the kennel video well no you hear maggie say he's got a chicken that's what
03:18:09.100
she's talking about is bubba caught a chicken all right all right so is the kennel video still going on
03:18:16.300
before you go get the chicken i mean you've heard it correct you've heard in this courtroom i don't
03:18:21.820
know exactly um i don't know exactly but in close time into bubba coming out of those woods with the
03:18:29.900
chicken i got up and took the chicken from him so did you say goodbye according to your new story
03:18:39.740
did i say goodbye yeah did you talk to them at all or did you just get the chicken put it on there
03:18:45.020
jump on there and just take off i wouldn't have just gone off i mean i would have said i'm leaving
03:18:49.820
okay did i say goodbye bye and again go ahead i mean there would have been some you know there would
03:18:55.180
have been some exchange i'm not staying here what was that exchange i mean you have you've had such
03:19:02.460
a photographic memory about these new stories what what what happened here it's not i can't tell you
03:19:09.820
the exact words you don't remember your conversation after you put that chicken up did y'all talk about
03:19:16.220
the chicken no i don't think we did did you talk with paul about cash's tail after the chicken yeah
03:19:25.580
no i know i didn't do that did you tell maggie i'm gonna go check on him at that point no i don't
03:19:32.060
i don't i don't think tell maggie oh it's hot out here if they don't go back i certainly would have
03:19:37.420
said something to that effect all right so unlike everything else for the new story you just can't
03:19:43.980
recall what what that would have been well you know i mean you're making that categorization i think
03:19:51.020
there's other things about that that i can't remember but if the question is can i remember exactly
03:19:56.460
what words i used when i gave maggie some uh salutation when i'm leaving i can't tell you what
03:20:05.500
those were all right but it would have been something to the effect of i'm leaving all right
03:20:10.460
okay what you would concede that there was man it's over nine thousand these lie levels at least some
03:20:17.100
conversation that you wouldn't have just put the chicken on there and jump ran back to the golf cart
03:20:21.260
and taken off without talking to maggie i would have never done that and that's it for the top
03:20:26.300
incredible all right so needless to say my boy ended up getting uh you know found guilty okay let's

Next thing you know, South Carolina's like, nah, bro.
03:24:32.420
The morning after, the jury found him guilty of murdering his wife and son.
03:24:43.480
...invection, but what was it like inside the jury?
03:24:47.260
...and as that and much more from South Carolina.
03:24:50.420
It's Alex Murdoch as you've never seen him before.
03:24:53.440
In a prison jumpsuit and flip-flops and shackles.
03:24:56.960
And he went down swinging, still insisting he's innocent of the crime that shocked America.
03:25:03.860
He's still got that pop smoke playing his head.
03:25:08.620
I would never hurt my wife, Maggie, and I would never hurt my son, Pawpaw.
03:25:17.400
...buster and brother John Marvin were in court as Judge Clifton Newman blasted the disgraced attorney.
03:25:23.600
You've engaged in such duplicitous conduct here in the courtroom.
03:25:38.340
And I know you have to see Paul and Maggie during the night times when you're attempting to go to sleep.
03:25:49.140
And then Judge Newman said, and I bet you remember the last time they looked you in the eyes.
03:25:59.100
May I tell you again, I respect this court, but I'm innocent.
03:26:07.780
It might have been the monster you become when you take 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 opioid pills.
03:26:30.820
Yeah, he was listening to that pop of smoke before he did.
03:26:33.920
I sentence you for a term of the rest of your natural life.
03:26:50.340
Today, we're getting a fascinating look inside the jury room.
03:26:53.140
After six weeks of testimony, it took less than three hours for them to announce the guilty verdict.
03:27:09.540
He says the juror's initial vote was nine guilty, two not guilty, and one not sure.
03:27:19.840
He says it only took about 45 minutes of discussion to reach a unanimous verdict.
03:27:24.980
He says this was the most crucial piece of evidence.
03:27:30.620
The kennel video that placed Murdoch at the scene minutes before the murders.
03:27:36.120
Murdoch admitted on the stand that it was, in fact, his voice, despite earlier denials that he was there.
03:27:45.600
We spoke to prominent jury consultant Dr. Joe Ellen Demetrius.
03:27:49.980
I really believe that, maybe not consciously, but subconsciously, these jurors probably had the thought that, you know, this man has pulled the wool over our eyes and other people's eyes for years, and now it's got to stop.
03:28:05.820
The jury's quick decision caught everyone by surprise.
03:28:09.520
Breaking news coming into the Situation Room right now.
03:28:12.300
The jury has reached a verdict in the Alex Murdoch murder trial.
03:28:18.200
As soon as the verdicts were read, Murdoch was slapped in handcuffs.
03:28:23.000
He mouthed, I'm sorry, I love you, to Buster, who showed zero emotion.
03:28:32.520
I think he knows, he popped that plug and we're retarded.
03:28:40.460
We were all stunned by how quick this verdict came in.
03:28:43.860
The one thing that I said to you on the set yesterday is, I'm not certain what the verdict is, but I'm certain that they're going to deliberate for a while.
03:28:50.960
I thought the timing was either shocking, actually.
03:28:55.020
And there's an intriguing what-if question today regarding the jury.
03:28:58.840
According to one published report, the juror who was removed at the 11th hour yesterday could have caused a hung jury if she had remained.
03:29:07.320
She said he was not guilty and there was nothing anyone could do to change her mind.
03:29:18.460
Because they go with their feelings instead of what's really going on.
03:29:32.320
And it's also on Kindle for $10 if you want as well.
03:29:35.140
If you're, you know, one of them boys, if you know what I'm saying.
03:29:53.820
Because for being so wealthy, you think, like, you will pay some people, right?
03:30:00.300
So it's happened before where there's been, like, jury tampering for sure.
03:30:10.880
For jurors like this that aren't able to divorce their emotions from facts.
03:30:26.480
Several of the jurors returned today to watch the sentencing.
03:30:29.340
And as they left, they were applauded by bystanders.
03:30:39.180
But, all right, guys, that summarizes the entire case.
03:30:46.700
Well, they didn't mention, we didn't mention the allegations that were on Buster.
03:30:52.240
I don't know if you know, but, like, people were thinking that he killed a teenager back in 2015.
03:31:01.340
Yes, the guy that was found on the side of the, the kid that was found on the side of the road that they were also able to attribute.
03:31:14.320
And now we got this fifth guy, which we didn't cover because it didn't have too much to do with this story.
03:31:19.220
Um, but, uh, but yeah, that there was a random, there was a teenager that was found, a young man found on the road awkwardly.
03:31:26.780
And they weren't sure if he got hit by a car, if he was murdered.
03:31:29.080
But that also was tied back to the Murdauls as well.
03:31:32.560
So, I left that out because it wasn't really too relevant to the story.
03:31:38.980
But, yeah, I mean, that's why he's called, like, the Murdaul, uh, Murdauls.
03:31:48.960
Like, any other case, it's another family, Annihilators.
03:31:56.080
I can't even say it, but, yeah, it's another one.
03:31:59.380
All right, I'll read these chats real quick, and then we'll close this thing out.
03:32:09.440
That was probably when you explained, like, the bullet.
03:32:14.180
I was wondering if you could cover the Marcus Wesson case in Fresno, California.
03:32:32.200
Hey, yo, Edge, put down in your book Ash Vlogs by Nextball.
03:32:38.220
Again, guys, like, don't put requests on the chat.
03:32:41.000
I mean, you can, but, like, I wouldn't remember, so it's better if you leave it on the comment
03:32:47.960
Golden State Killer is probably going to be next.
03:32:50.360
Golden State Killer is probably going to be the next one.
03:32:52.580
Yeah, unless there's something else that's higher up on the totem pole.
03:32:55.400
We have Ed Gein and Edmund Kemper, which I've been telling you we do.
03:33:00.560
We need to Edmund Kemper, Ed Kemper, and Ed Gein.
03:33:20.400
Like, do they want Golden State Killer first or Berkowitz, son of Sam?
03:33:31.620
Hey, Myron, I've watched your podcast for two years, and I thank you for everything you've
03:33:37.760
Never a Ninja Watcher, thank you for the video.
03:33:40.060
Also, I'm in college about to get a second job.
03:33:42.020
Chief Keefe goes, Momo Murda, tell me what you're going to do when there ain't nowhere to
03:33:51.480
Nine out financial crimes with his family ain't one.
03:33:53.380
By the way, the Pocket Town is a Chicago gang slash hood.
03:33:59.040
Michael Meestroke, thank you very much for a dollar.
03:34:01.580
Jiru, any tips to not be shy when speaking to new people?
03:34:06.500
And then I think we're caught up here with the chats.
03:34:10.440
And then let me do a quick poll for y'all real fast.
03:34:16.680
I will do a couple of polls, and I'll get it going right now, start a poll.
03:34:52.740
Okay, and then who else is another one that people want?
03:35:01.140
And if you guys are wondering, Ed Gein is who Texas Chainsaw Massacre was modeled after.
03:35:59.580
I'll go ahead and share the screen with y'all real fast.
03:36:31.820
Alien Werdos has a way better story than Ed Gein.
03:36:42.340
Of the serial killers left, we already did the big ones.
03:36:51.460
I think her story is better than Ed Gein, to be honest.
03:36:57.240
Well, women killers are way different from men killers.
03:37:03.940
But basically, it's because women kill for motive.
03:37:23.000
For all y'all that are screaming Aileen, vote, bro.
03:37:40.920
I think he was the one that inspired the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
03:37:49.860
Like, Ed Gein wasn't a big, humbling, like, retard.
03:37:52.600
Like, you know, running around with an actual chainsaw.
03:38:02.120
Oh, the character in Texas Chainsaw Leatherface was.
03:38:09.620
He was just crazy after his mom died, but he wasn't retarded.
03:38:12.960
Yeah, he just had, like, a downward spiral after.
03:38:28.060
That's who's going to be the next serial killer.
03:38:29.640
Yes, he's the one that's got a museum because he will make furniture.
03:38:35.240
Yeah, that's where they took the Leatherface scheme from, was, like, using body parts to
03:38:38.960
accentuate the house and wearing it and shit like that.
03:38:51.580
With that said, man, we gave y'all a three-hour-plus podcast, three and a half hours.
03:38:57.960
We got 1,600 likes, but I know there's a bunch of you that haven't liked, so if you guys
03:39:02.400
Well, actually, Angie, I'll give you the last, well, before I give you the last word.
03:39:09.260
We got three podcasts tomorrow, I think one at 5 or 6 with ISO Kenny.
03:39:15.140
Then we got, and then we got, obviously, After Hours, three podcasts in a row for y'all.
03:39:21.560
That dropped early on Fresh to Fit, and I did an interview with Sartero Shooter.
03:39:24.640
So, yeah, man, content coming out all over the place.
03:39:27.840
We're going to do collabs with Graham Stephan and his brother, Jack Selby.
03:39:34.840
We're going to also get with Ryan Pineda, and then we're also going to go ahead and interview

And then also, we're going to go ahead and do an interview with Rolo Tomasi and Marco

We're the number one men's podcast in the fucking world.
03:40:04.440

03:40:12.940
Bro, I put out more videos than them niggas on this channel, man.
03:40:23.240
Yeah, I had to just go on that rant because they've been going after Sneako and it's annoying
03:40:34.300
And also, for those of you that have been requested and have been DMing me, I have everything
03:40:42.040
I've been reading all of your DMs and all of your comments.
03:40:45.620
I also catch the premieres with you, so I'll be there in the chats with you.
03:40:53.880
And like, yeah, reading your opinions on everything.
03:41:00.320
I don't want Myron to drop my Instagram anymore because you guys are weird as fuck.
03:41:05.040
And I don't want anyone else following me now anymore.
03:41:08.620
So, I'll probably just open a Fetty account or another account.
03:41:18.820
Yeah, so I'll be cooking something and yo, that's it.
03:41:32.780
I'm going to go ahead and go through and put the timestamps in this bad boy.
03:41:37.420
This is the best breakdown on the Murdoch case.
03:41:41.280
So, you'll have a one-stop shop to get everything from A to Z.
03:41:48.260
I was a special agent with Homeland Security Investigations.
03:41:51.520
The cases that I did mostly were human smuggling and drug trafficking.
03:42:00.020
Dr. LaFredo confirmed lacerations due to stepping on glass.
