Wow! Alex Murdaugh verdict already. Guilty! Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!

[LiberalFighter]

Guilty on all counts it appears.

It didn't take them long.

1. Great news!

[honest.abe]

2. Good. It was a no brainer in my opinion.

3. I wasn't on the jury, but I would have found him guilty as well!

Not to hard to figure this one out, especially when he acted like he was better than everyone in the court room. Just my opinion.

4. I made that statement in my FB post that he was considered an upstanding citizen

in his community. Yet he lied to everyone.

I would not have had any problem voting guilty. I thought the prosecutor did a great job with his closing putting all the pieces together.

Interesting on MSNBC a person indicated that what was presented in the court about the spacing was much different than what they saw in person. Defense made a mistake asking for jury to visit the place. Hah!!

5. Three hours of deliberation

[LiberalFighter]

6. Well it was four separate counts. So... 45 minutes each?

7. They were saying on cnn that when a verdict comes back that quick it's usually 'not guilty'

[LiberalFighter]

10. Looks like CNN was wrong wrong wrong wrong. :)

When I heard they were already decided I figured it was guilty.

8. I'm actually surprised, less then 3 hours of deliberations to find him guilty.....

I am kinda shocked tho, I thought he’d walk. Happy they did the right thing.

11. I remember OJ.

When they had him put on the gloves I thought he was innocent. What I failed to realize was it was 15 months from the time of the murder until the trial. Leather gloves shrink when they are not used. He got off even though he was guilty.

13. I thought at the time the gloves were

got blood on them during the murder, leather also shrinks when it gets wet. OJ also has arthritis in his hands. Stop taking his meds for that and a few smacks against a wall would get them to swell up a bit. Glove no fit.

9. I watched the whole trial from the very beginning.

I was really surprised so many thought there was reasonable doubt. Imo, it was a no brainer and I’m not surprised they came back so soon.

The only time I was on a jury for a criminal case, we too an initial vote as soon as we started deliberating to see where we’re all were. We all said guilty so that was that. Then we decided to have lunch before we told the court we had a verdict.

12. There were too many pieces that locked everything against him.

The prosecutor helped piece everything together. Especially the timeline with the cellphone tracking his movements. Along with all the meaningless calls he was making.

[Raftergirl]

14. Yep.

The calls were all to create his alibi.

But if not for Bubba, Alex probably wouldn’t have been heard on the Snapchat video on Paul’s phone. Likely would not have even been charged if not for that piece of evidence placing him at the kennel just minutes before they were killed.

15. Ironic: they say cell phones are bad for you! Ha!
