SC - Paul Murdaugh & mom Margaret Found Shot To Death - Alex Murdaugh Accused - Islandton #27

[worm]

Not much on this yet but I got it on yahoo and foxcarolina.com. This mother and son were found near a dog kennel on their property in Colleton County SC. Their family has a long history of connections to the legal system in the Lowcountry and the son, who was murdered, was currently facing charges in a boating accident causing death.

I don't think they are being very specific about that, on purpose? IDK how this guy can't testify to flight path of bullets when he doesn't use the info of the wounds and the body's position while being shot

Just hinging his testimony off the investigation with bullet angles and distance which is not power points as they say. Most are aware that both victims were shot at close ranges, I'd say less then fifty feet and any slight angle would be mute in IMO thinking that the pattern on the victim including her leg was just the killer firing off poorly placed rounds to just subdue the victim. It isn't like one is shooting from a long range and having to Dope the scope as we say to acquire a better image along with adjusting for elevation and windage.

Hahaha - someone posted that PooX wants to keep adding photos and shooters - little Munchins with massive AK57s down on their hips, and all of the 'fake' photos taken from up real high lol. 2 shooters. 12 shooters......64 shooters lol

 

[Betty P]

Interesting and a thought, I am pretty sure others might have alluded to earlier. Shooter possibly tripped or fell, from recoil? Being startled? Maybe a brief struggle and then fell, and had to shoot from down low? MOO. And I do not have complete knowledge or command of what has been introduced for evidence.

I read an interview earlier (no link) stating the angle of that shot can vary based on the position of the victim when they were shot - standing up, falling, etc. IIRC, the shooter was slightly behind them, too.

One line made it look like there was a sniper in the trees. JMO

I think this guy needs a better background in human proportions. Does he even have the measurements of Alex's legs and arms?

I'm annoyed.

IMO.

 

[Boodles]

Yes, very common for kids not to see the forest for the trees. Even from jail, dad hasn't stopped trying to control and manipulate his son. Can't unlearn a lifetime of conditioning. IMO, the only hope for Buster is to go no-contact with AM.

I hope he does after this trial.

This witness said from the beginning he doesn't look at the angle of body wounds, doesn't incorporate the body altering the angles

Was the circus in town that day?

 

[Boismom]

I think AM was in one knee to brace himself

 

[MinnesotaMary]

Defense has totally ruined this. IMO of course. This trigonometry expert made all these ridiculous and totally preposterous Shots I
n The Dark (pardon the bad pun) without being told ALL of the basic facts. My view is it would be utterly horrifying for this domestic murderer of wife and son to get away with any of it. Bye bye.

The "cabin" that Alec had was either at his brother's or mother's place but he only changed/bathed and ate there, and that's where Blanca left him stuff (I assume clean clothes, groceries, mail, etc). He slept at the places I mentioned above. Alec never stayed on the Moselle property another night after June 7.

^^rsbm

I just remembered Blanca called this the "little house." She used this term when testifying how AS approached her to discuss the video that was out and what he wanted Blanca to recall was his wardrobe on June 7.

 

[Megnut]

How tall is AM on his knees?

This was NOT a static event.

The shooter was moving. Crouching, standing, kneeling, leaning.

He wasn't hunting for sport.

It's likely he was in several unnatural positions.

jmo

 

[MinnesotaMary]

These visuals look like ninjas descended upon moselle and were the perpetrators.

ahahhahahah !!

 

[bestill]

This witness is creating the doubt for the one juror that the defense is looking for.

 

[LavenderGooms]

Different people of the same height have varying torso lengths and leg lengths which would produce different shooting from the hip heights right?

 

[sunshineray]

I just want CW to do the cross on this guy. 5'2" eyes of blue, coochie coochie, coochie coo.

 

[Ceska]

I find it very odd that this witness, being a mechanical engineer, is discussing a murder/crime scene. I would think there would be far better professionals to discuss and analyze a crime scene, such as a forensic scientist/ballistic expert. Defense is grasping at straws. I hope the State has a field day with this witness.
