The contraband Grisham book has a plot wherein the Judge is corrupt and taking bribes, while an innocent man is on trial.
Something like that.
IMO.
Get another book! Dis ain’t da one fa you Billy Bob Elick.

While anything is possible, for me it is not probable - it’s just too tight of a window and too coincidental for a third-party to get so lucky to find Paul and Maggie at the kennels alone when they weren’t even planning on being at Moselle that night, find them in the few minutes between Alex leaving the kennel and leaving the property to go to Almeda and using the same type of weapons the family owned. Add in Alex lying about that specific timeframe, why was that necessary for him? Only the killer knows that is when they were killed. He could’ve easily said we were all together at the kennel and when I left them they were alive. If he had been honest, it would have given LE a more accurate timeline, I believe he lied, because he killed them. I also believe that he had hired out the killing he would not have been anywhere near where they were killed. MOOI really don't know if AM pulled the trigger but I am convinced that his actions caused the death of MM and PM. Either he did it or he knows who did it, probably at his request or because he owed someone. Regardless he's involved, imo. So a guilty verdict is fine with me, he deserves to spend the rest of his life in a cell.
Yes. I believe nothing that AM says. JMO.I want proof by way of tox screen. DHusband is a physician and does not believe his habit, as described.
I actually think it was possibly a set up to kill Eddie because I think Eddie knows a lot of things. I think Eddie was a loose cannon though so they didn't put him on the stand because of it, but that man likely knows about more than just Alex's drug stuff. I think it's hard to believe Eddie or Alex, but at this point I'd believe more of what Eddie said about that night than what Alex says about it. I think Eddie was afraid Alex was trying to shoot him.. maybe they did fight over the gun and it just so happen to graze Alex. I think if Alex could have, he would have shot Eddie and made up some ridiculous scenario where the same people after Paul were after him and Eddie just stopped to help him with the tire and Eddie was shot instead of Alex. Or he could have said Eddie tried to kill him and that Eddie is the one that killed Paul and Maggie.Exactly how I've felt since the failed 'suicide'. I've even hated that it's called a failed suicide. He was no more going to kill himself.... That suicide story is self serving and would make Buster feel obligated to him and the public would feel that he was remorseful for his evil deeds. Ha!
Don't forget that it was the addiction that caused all of his misdeeds. So after rehab, he expected to look like he's no longer a threat, he's clean. Since the drug paranoia was the motivation... He is and always will be a liar...a self-serving, manipulative liar.
I am wondering the same.
Is the book itself contraband, as in his reading material must be scrutinized, or is it more nefarious? Did she attempt to pass him a note hidden in the book?
Worse, did she attempt to pass him drugs somehow? I don’t know how that could be done, but she took quite a chance in doing whatever she did.
Could she get charged with tampering, or contempt of court, or something?
I know very little about this.
Ruth finally cut ties with Bernie when she learned of his affair (while he was incarcerated). She was loyal until that information was exposed and validated by her. Hopefully, Buster will do the same now that he's aware of the truth of his fathers true character. It's not only dysfunctional, it's toxic. IMO.These are such good points. This entire family is completely dysfunctional IMO. It reminds me of Ruth Madoff. Eventually she cut ties with Bernie after he was in jail but it took a while. Even at the cost of her relationship with her sons.
But would that be a misdemeanor? I’d love to see another Murdaugh arrested. LolPossibly delivery of drugs, a jail house trick. Some drugs can be infused onto paper, as in books, and it is a way to deliver without suspicion until it is discovered.
The book itself sounds too innocent. MO - a drug delivery.
What makes his habit as he described so far fetched is he claims not a single person in his familyl (except his dad father) knew he was on drugs. How did he go to a week long detox at least twice since 2017 and many other times he was trying to detox at home on his own and in that time he never looked sick, had issues that prevented him from working, had to call in or show up looking bad? His brother he worked with, his mother, or her caregiver as she progressed in her disease?I want proof by way of tox screen. DHusband is a physician and does not believe his habit, as described.
Good point! I also think it'd be obvious if suddenly he started ordering it from the commisary. I do think menthol is in other products like chapstick that might have an additional fragrance.Mentholatum ( such as in Vicks Vapo-Rub ) would be very easily detectable in the room
It's not very subtle.
There's no one left to corroborate his withdrawal stories except Buster. How convenient. Withdrawal isn't easy. There's a tissue tolerance and every cell in the body is screaming for more. Detox is also dangerous and there have been many heart attacks during hospital rehab. AM would be climbing the walls and doing all he could to get his hands on the substance. That also tells me that his 'addiction' wasn't as described.What makes his habit as he described so far fetched is he claims not a single person in his familyl (except his dad father) knew he was on drugs.

In the Netflix documentary it was shared that Gloria had found some of his pills in a baggie taped under his bed once. I think it was said she told Paul about it and didn't want to tell Maggie for fear Maggie would think she was snooping. People would have seen something if they were all as close as Alex claims they are (his siblings and extended family).. yet he said nobody but Buster, Maggie, Paul, and his dad ever saw him with withdrawals or something like that. So he never was without pills then or what?

Whoever, the Trustee is, that person is certainly in Alex's pocket
He would be dead if he had a habit like that. He is a liar and a killer.Yes. I believe nothing that AM says. JMO.
As soon as the defense request for AM to use the lavatory before he took the stand, I was like “He’s got to get a hit of something!”.It’s highly likely that he is doing something to bring on the tears and snorts. Salts or white pepper?
He didn’t snort snot when Bus Bus or MP testified. That should have brought the anguish on. He hasn’t snorted while he is at the table with counsel. It’s hard to pull that phony off when you are sandwiched between 2 people who know you are guilty.
Can defendants be frisked before testifying?
But he was successful in making people talk about something besides the murders. I believe he trafficked in drugs so therefore he is rsponsible for the deaths of MANY addicts. Then he murdered his wife and son. They better find this man guilty!There's no one left to corroborate his withdrawal stories except Buster. How convenient. Withdrawal isn't easy.

Same here, and just to be safe, I am skeptical of anything coming from anyone in his near-circles of friends, attorneys, law-partners, associates who worked with him in the 14th District Solicitor’s office, and family (Murdaugh side), unless it can be independently verified outside of those circles. They all seem to serve themselves and the truth only when it is consistent with that.Yes. I believe nothing that AM says. JMO.

Remember, just before taking the stand for the first time, AM was looking around desperately for something for his lips. Someone passed him a chap stick that he used immediately.Good point! I also think it'd be obvious if suddenly he started ordering it from the commisary. I do think menthol is in other products like chapstick that might have an additional fragrance.
I've conducted a thought experiment about what alternatives I might find in prison for this project...
Maybe jalapenos or some other type of pepper? Black pepper in a pinch? Aftershave? Hair products like hairspray?
I did read that one actor yanks out a nose hair for this purpose. That makes my eyes water just thinking about that. I think that would be difficult to accomplish undetected.
I just don't know what is possible after this trial, and it has started to make me entertain some odd ideas about what AM is capable of doing. Once you've seen the human mask slip and expose the lizard man, you just can't rule anything out.
