Thinking PM and MM were just going about the usual at the kennels AM was shot first cornered in there already then MM heard the shot and by that time she shot as well, no time to flee. IMO it was just the breaking point for AM and sure drugs played a part in his thought process.
The more i read and hear, sadly yes 'tainted' comes to mind as a real possibility in MOO
I 100% agree. He was far too healthy and heavy to be that far into addiction. I am convinced the money was just lifestyle waste. Pure and simple. A Forensic accounting of the family of four's spend I think would bear this out.
He was Timmy
Seems like the divorce atty would have come up in the trial tho. There was so much speculation about it, to the point it seemed like it was true. News articles saying she did, had AP hired forensic financial auditors etc. would definitely point to motive.
Agree, another poster has stated that in addition to blaming the drugs, she thinks he is trying to mitigate the drug charges that he is facing by the gross exaggeration of his drug use. As I think you’ve already stated, he showed zero of the physical effects that would be evident for anyone taking that many pills. CW brought out in cross that most $ went to support their lifestyle. MB testified he lost money in land investments when the recession hit. Seattle1 has stated AM was the minority investor, when the majority investors walked away AM took over their part and lost big $$. It appears they never adjusted their lifestyle. Checks were bouncing, huge cc balances of excess of 100k for months, indicative of living off of credit if can’t afford to pay balance in full every month. Being confronted about his pill use, being asked about the state of their finances by MM, the boat lawsuit was going to reveal his thefts- he needed a way out. Whether directly or indirectly, PM and MM were the source of much of the pressures being put on him. I don’t put any importance or value on how any relationship with AM appeared with family or with friends, he was a master manipulator who presented how he needed to be to get what he wanted, absent of real emotional connection. MOO
I don’t think so, defense has 2 more witnesses and the state has rebuttal wittneses.
I find it strange that he would give specific instructions to how to possibly think about that evidence. Why wouldn’t he just say you consider it how the evidence presents to you? I guess if it is SC law he has no choice.
MM knew PM was responsible but the M's are above reproach. People are disposable to this family. PM slapped and spit on his gf and ridiculed her because her daddy "couldn't take care of his family." (If he only knew what was coming). He threw Cottontop under the bus at the crash site. AM was at the hospital not to check on the kids, but to hush them up. Didn't bother to call Mallory's parents. When GS had her "accident", when asked by the 911 dispatcher if they knew who she was, instead of giving her name, PM said "she works for us". After 20+ years, she's still just the hired help. And MM refers to her other employees as "the Mexicans". Then there is AM who stole money from a deaf, quadriplegic kid and the children of the woman who spent more time raising his kids than she did her own. Nothing or nobody came between AM and money and their status.

I think because it is not directly related to PM & MM’s murder does not go to motive, alibi, why, how etc. Too prejudicial and would be an issue AM could use to appeal the verdict. I am glad though that the defense opened the door for it to be brought in because in my opinion it was not a suicide attempt. moo
I have heard commentators state that if convicted, he would only be able to appeal certain aspects of the trial such as introduction of evidence deemed too prejudicial, if he took the stand. That said, I do believe his main motive of taking the stand was that he believed he could talk his way out of this, he has spent his whole life convincing others to believe his lies. MOO
