SC - Paul Murdaugh, 22 and mom Margaret, 52, found shot to death, Islandton, 7 June 2021 #8

I can see an entire season of "Murdaugh Murders" episodes coming to ID.

"Murdaugh, He Wrote."

He is heavily alluding to Alex having nothing to do with the murders.

 

[MassGuy]

Lol. $20,000 bond. He probably has that in his bedside table.

Yep. I could even be dreaming and this has all been an early release of Netflix Ozark season 4. Man, you just can’t make this stuff up.

Honestly, it could go either way. I'm not saying that anyone planted anything, just that it is entirely possible. I don't think it possible to overstate how much corruption is down here when you have the right connections. And I say this as someone who lives on a street named after my childrens' great grandfather on their dad's side, and having an ancestor who the county Alex Murdaugh lives is was named after. I could list all the screwed-up things that I have witnessed personally in the last 10 years, but I would be here for weeks listing them. Nothing surprises me, and while I don't believe that EVERYONE has a price, I think that those of us who don't are few and far between.

I was reading this yesterday, an older article from Feb ‘21:


Corruption festers when people aren’t looking, when the spotlight doesn’t shine. Without fair scrutiny, public officials with weak ethical backbones bend the rules. They help themselves to public money. They help their cronies instead of people they represent. Like a virus, corruption mushrooms, and so do the costs to you and other members of the public.

Sunlight can disinfect, but South Carolina has lost some light.
News deserts and weak ethics laws allow corruption to run rampant in SC

Seems SLED doesn't mind if he goes to rehab in another state. So insane. But no surprise to me.

Yes on the hospital in savannah, iirc the boys were born in hospital there and other M’s and of course AM’s dad was in hospital there.

Iirc MM was from charleston area.

Btw love your pitcher plant.

 

[swedeheart]

Hahaha! Did Hootenanny (the lawyer, forgot his name) just say "This is the face of the opioid epidemic," referring to Alex Murdaugh?

Wow. These people truly do not live on the same planet with us peasants.

ETA: If he had ANY significant or life-threatening trauma to his head, you would see where they had to shave his hair. He's got a full head, with no markings.

This is unreal.

Oof. I just saw his butt-crack.

What an absolute side-show, but expected, I guess.

Interesting... the bond amounts that were updated on the website before the hearing (that were supposedly incorrect), are the exact same as what he was given. $20k total... all ROR.

 

[imstilla.grandma]

"Murdaugh, He Wrote."

Lol, seriously… funny girl.

 

[MassGuy]

Breaking; Alex murdaugh was granted a $20K personal recognizance bond and no GPS monitoring.
If he leaves the rehab facility, there will be a bench warrant for his arrest.
Story coming soon

[Mirandartv]

Lol. 20k, he probably has that in his bedside table.

I thought I heard her say personal recognizance. If so, was she denying personal recognizance or was it a $20k PR bond? If so, he doesn't even have to open his wallet.

He is heavily alluding to Alex having nothing to do with the murders.

It is still possible that he didn’t have anything to do directly with the murders.
The Attorney is doing what he is being paid to do IMO.

JUST IN: Alex Murdaugh’s mug shot

Yes, I know it's only the front, but I'm gonna ask anyway - where's the "gunshot" wound?

 

[Beren]

I've been thinking along these lines too. As others have pointed out here, PMPED's actual case histories, and their apparent prosperity, don't jibe with each other. Maybe we're just at the beginning of this trail! But it will get hard to untangle, if that's the case, because stuff of this magnitude does not happen without the active help of political sponsors. If pols get nervous, extreme efforts will be made to cover everything up.

Big giant IF it was even bigger, in that say certain political leaders of the state are already very much a part of the story, then it will likely never be solved? Again, all just my imaginary musings here…

SC judge grants Alex Murdaugh bond in case stemming from failed suicide plot

A Hampton County judge set a $20,000 bond for Alex Murdaugh late Thursday afternoon for his part in staging his own murder so his older son, Buster, could receive a $10 million insurance payout.

The bond is personal recognizance, meaning he will be released on his promise to appear in court later without having to pay any fines.

Murdaugh faces charges of insurance fraud, conspiracy to commit insurance fraud and falsifying a police report. He turned himself in to police late Thursday morning and was booked into the Hampton County Detention Center.

Hampton County Magistrate judge Tonja Alexander assigned the bond, and Murdaugh’s case will be prosecuted by the state Attorney General’s Office.

Before the hearing, Murdaugh’s lawyers Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin fielded a few questions from reporters.

“What’s Alex Murdaugh’s state of mind right now?” one reporter asked.

“He’s in jail,” Harpootlian said. “That’s his state of mind.”

Kind of shady the bond amounts were all filled out on the Public Index before this hearing even occurred.

 

[sandcastle00]

Did the judge say he isn't a danger to himself??

I wonder what DH said to the DA when he approached them. The DA didn’t look amused.

The face of opioid addiction could look like anyone. It doesn’t discriminate. A co-worker became addicted after surgery. He had to be let go as his work performance was being impacted. He committed suicide the next day so he did not have to face his family with the truth.

When will the court let him out of rehab?

 

[sunshineray]

Was his wound supposed to be on the tip of that left ear the camera zoomed in on when AM sat back down to wait to be transported? That little redness without even a scab?
