I heard some of the jail calls between Buster and Alex, with Alex asking Buster if he was planning on going hunting at that Moselle property where his mother and brother were killed. Buster said no..he doesn't want to go back there. Alex casually laughed and acted surprised by that and informed Buster that some friends were planning on going there hunting, if he wasn't. Why on earth would you want your surviving son going to the scene where your wife and other child were killed, *if* the "true killer(s)" are still on the loose??? Things like that, on top of all of the other evidence, really shows me that they arrested the right person.
Also phone calls about if it Jim could go hunting down there.
I think the jury will feel he is guilty, but the prosecution did not prove its case. Sadly... I think that's how it will end. Even though the kennel video and the Onstar information and him coersing/gaslighting multiple witnesses is proof enough for me.
I agree what got me was the video Paul had on his phone mins before the murder took place an u can clearly hear Alec, Paul, & Maggie talking even though Alec was suppose to been asleep
@@lastjob2011 Your wrong. The jury will see the truth like we all do.
Great point!! 😉
Buster's been coached by his fathers attorney for this for months. There's no question he hasn't been asked. Everything he does and says has been vetted by Alec's attorneys.
My thoughts exactly. So rehearsed
I'm not impressed. He even referred to the attorney as "Jim" once.🙄
I mean, why not?
Well I would sure hope so or else his father would have a very shitty attorney.
Of course he has. Attorneys prep all of their witnesses. You don't think the prosecution witnesses were coached for hours? It would border on malpractice for an attorney not to thoroughly prep one of his witnesses.
The way Alec was staring with a smile while Buster talked, he looked just like a proud father. Odd display.
Which I found so disturbing, your son is in a courtroom giving testimony related to his dead brother and dead mother, That's the only reason hies there, the father should be wrecked by this, at the very least heartbroken watching his son having to go through that, not normal.
I found it so creepy in this setting myself
Hello 👋 how are you doing today? I hope 🤞 this year brings happiness, peace and love all over the world 🌎 I’m originally from Canada 🇨🇦 grow up in Fort Worth Texas, currently living in Key West Florida. Where are you from if i may ask?
@@Toddboehly818 none of your business
@@denisemilfort4581 you nailed it
What a disgrace of a family. I would never talk to my father if he killed my mom and my brother 😢
Thing is Buster could of been next, the next murder distraction away from the financial and boating accident dramas taking Alex Murder down. Yet he wants dad to be seen as innocent as if Buster is the protected golden child. The whole thing is just f@cked up
@@bradford_shaun_murrayexactly. The way Alex thinks is troubling. He murdered his wife and son as a distraction from the money he'd been stealing. What's even crazier is , I believe 100% the intention was to frame Eddie for Maggie and Paul's murder.
Kid buster was in on it.....he stood to lose a lot of money
U so right about that there so sick people!!!😂😂
I'm sorry but he's probably thinking his daddy will change the wheel money is root of all evil now
I find it odd that they keep talking about not having service at the kennels but the night of murders when the cops show up he sure had service. He walked back and forth while talking to his brother. He was constantly on his phone.
There is no service under the metal roofs
You'd be surprised how children don't remember their parents bds
right, when if he was any other color, they would have had him in the squad car, after shouting put the weapon down.
@@marykelly3180 I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and you know God loves us so much,So where are you originally from? I am David originally from Spain Granada but currently living in Texas now and you?
I was wondering why Paul had reception when he was talking to his friend about them dog. It was great reception.
AM smiling at his son while he testifies like he's so proud. Do you realize what you have put your family and friends through??? Obviously, so out of touch.
ALL SHOW !!!! He also was smiling when the gentleman who cared for the dogs.. that man was straight up honest, chips fall where they fall.
I literally thought I was seeing things when they showed him. Dear lord
@@lydiakinnaman3679 pretty sure he called that man stupid in one of his police interviews.
Buster got caught cheating in law school.
Buster lives on Hilton Head at 24? That's incredible $!
All these people saying Buster didn’t show emotion-there was reporting after this trial that when the cameras finally panned off of Buster; he collapsed and cried hysterically and had to be physically helped into his family’s car. I hate to see the rumors speculated about this young man. If your family was MURDERED, and you have to deal with that….then you have to process it was your Dad that did it…How is he supposed to cope? I didn’t know there was a rule book on how people grieve! I would be numb too! JFC he has released a statement asking the media to stop publishing defamatory comments about him. This young man’s every move and face gesture has been analyzed. Until he’s been proven to have had involvement in Mr Smith’s death, isn’t he innocent until proven guilty? Isn’t that his American right? If he did it, the truth will come out. But until then, people need to leave him alone! He lost HIS WHOLE IMMEDIATE FAMILY now. I don’t know if I could comprehend my own father murdered my mother and brother either for a while. I would go into shock.
Thank-you.

He's not really showing the typical delayed/altered cognition or frozen or limp postures typical of shock. Its possible he has some level of dissociation. I lost someone very dear to me, and had all kinds of inappropriate ( hysterical) laughter at unrelated topics, but my grief, depression and confusion were more or less consistent for years and anytime i heard his name, it was instantly greivously painful, no matter how strong i tried to be. For Buster to be so consistently relaxed, bright, chatty, lucid, unfazed does seem odd. He does show some shakiness and depressing tone in his voice when shown the picture of the white house. Sometimes the killers/accomplices get emotional faced with the evidence. Emotion does not prove or disprove guilt or innocence alone. Facts should always be the deciding factor, not speculations.
@@taleandclawrock2606 As a psychologist and in accordance with the DSM TR, this diagnosis presents with social impairment (calling the lawyer by his first name, rule out this symptom), memory loss (recalls misplacement of guns, rule out this symptom) no loss of consciousness, sensor-or motor maladies. Nope, Buster is fine. He has grief related trauma, sure, but he has been groomed and coached and is "ACTNG" in kind.
Amen!
Alex has big smile because he knows Buster won’t say anything but good about him.👼🏻
That family picture doesn't mean anything! Even if my husband and I were mad at each other , nobody knew it. We didn't believe in making others uncomfortable, especially family.
I pray to God to give you lot of beautiful days and you know God loves us so much So where are you originally from I am David originally from Spain Granada but currently living in Texas now and you
I am divorcing my husband right now after 25 years of secret domestic violence. I am 60 years old. Every picture we took with our 3 beautiful children was the picture perfect family. Pictures do not tell you what the actual home life is and I can tell you that by personal experience.
@@begladwme amen to that. My real mother was killed by her horribly abusive husband. I am so thankful you got away! Many blessings

@@davidgreg6907 thank you
So strange how the father is looking so proud of his son.... like father watching his son give a best man speech. No fatherly anguish that his son has to testify in a tragic case.
Playing devils advocate. He may be trying to portray happy to make it easier for his son.
Yeah he seems proud
Narcissism. Trying to emotionally manipulate situation.
And father blew the head out of his other son.
Exactly
He and John Marvin were seen removing guns from the property by a guy filming with a drone! WHY??? He knows more than he is saying.
Eric Alan video on here!!!
We can't go off what emotions a person is or isn't showing. When my mother passed I cried hysterically that day when viewing her body at the hospital. Driving home I let out the loudest scream that I didn't know I was capable of doing. Then 7 days later at her Homegoing I didn't shed a tear. Not 1 tear!!! I wanted to be strong for my younger siblings, nieces and nephews. Everyone truly grieve differently and handle situations differently. Facts!!! However if there are some deep hidden secrets with these other family members I believe time will tell🙏🏽
It's true that everyone grieves differently. Some people keep their emotions in check. Actions, however, are something else.
correct. Buster seems like a man who will not show his emotions in front of the crowd.
@@brettcantrell8650 so true. I also kept telling myself to keep it together days before the service. Unfortunately, it took my grieving process longer. Just let your spirit, mind, body and emotions do whatever it needs to do to process loss but of course in a healthy way that won't harm you or others. Cry until you can't cry anymore, get spiritual counseling but make sure they are true believers of Christ and not just paid/trained specialist.
It's been two years since the murders. Some people are able to find their composure again after two years. And yet people watching this expect him to be bawling his eyes out as if it had happened yesterday. And if he doesn't : guilty !!!
@@anadubar4819 exactly. he is currently still in shock over what happened and he does not live with his father. He looks detached from it all. Sometimes a grief is so large that human body and mind get detached from it just as a survival mechanism.
I'm so grateful that this channel splits each segment. Makes it much easier to digest and keep up.
And his girlfriend is an attorney.
yes! love this channel
@@SS11660he got expelled for cheating 😳😬😜🤮
That couple made uglies kids!
@@bonniejosavland3227 true, though I think he was coerced to do so, (possibly by dad) but still not ok.
I don't believe anything any Murdaugh says, sad to say.
Me neither! He had to cheat in a small college 😳😬🥹
I agree. This poor guy has an uphill battle for the rest of life. Prada to Nada.
Clair Jones, so you know them personally, or you just hate them because ....... ??
@@shahadah1451 Pretty sure she didn't come close to saying "hate." Your use of hyperbole is telling.
@@StilettoCutsQuick. Prada to Nada!!!😆🤣😂😅
He’s just as creepy, evasive, narcissistic, cold, calculated as his “dad”.
That's not true. Don't judge him on something his father did
Agreed. Not everyone expresses themselves with over the top displays of grief or sadness. Buster lost his mother, brother, and grandfather all in one week. Now, he’s lost his father too. He was probably confused. His loyalty lies with his family and now the only one left is his father. He cannot understand why dad did this but now Buster has to take care of all of the remaining assets, sell the properties, pay back the victims etc. He has to keep contact with Alex. No choice.
Their eyes look the same.... very dark/cold/ heartless look..
You cannot brat a 20 year addiction without extensive and intensive treatment. Alex talks all day about addiction but nothing about his recovery. That's how I know he's lying about being an addict. I'm recovering myself.
You are so very right. Its a oloy to garner sympathy. Continue on the road to recovery I wish you well
I wish you well and praying for your full recovery. Enjoy life to the fullest xxxxx🌷
@@zurc2697 Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 🌹
He may be able addict but he's not a recovering addict. Guarantee he's getting high in prison rn! When I was treatment you had those who were serious about staying clean and who were not
What are they implying? The real killer knowing people were home at Moselle snuck on to the property by the kennels WITH NO WEAPONS OF THEIR OWN just waiting for Paul and whoever else to show up so they could hopefully find guns there left around and loaded to blast them away. What killer comes with no weapon. This is insanity. Also the real killer would have to assume this very first property owned by rich people would definitely have first class CCTV security, secret cameras and or guards. That property had lots of buildings and trees to hide cameras. Again this is insanity to think a "real killer" murdered them.
I cannot agree more with you, being seasoned defense lawyers as they are, and from what I can gather, ones who will knowingly and gladly represent guilty parties for the right price, the defence lawyers have vast knowledge of just how criminals operate particularly how they try to think of every eventuality, and they're clearly relying on the Jury's lack of knowledge as to how real criminals operate to believe such a ridiculous story of sheer luck on behalf of the shooter. Which leaves just one of two options, either defense is using this bumbling shooter with an incredible run of luck because they're struggling to offer alternative options for who did this... Well believable ones anyway, or they are incredibly lazy, unimaginative lawyers who aren't the supposed dream team as claimed that these people have a knack of portraying themselves as something they're not, and are resigned to the fact that they're effectively pissing in the wind.
Andddd they couldnt have been to upset with Alex to tell him, Delete your phone history, hide your clothes and go visit your Mom and offer to pay for her caretaker wedding that U didnt seem to care about before
This!! 🎯🎯🎯
EXACTLY!!! The real killer is sitting in the courtroom
I haven't heard anybody talk about cameras on the property, were they turned off?
Dad asked you if you wanted to go hunting, Buster is thinking “I’d rather go hunting with Alec Baldwin” 😅
Hahaha..sadly funny
Too good!!
Nice Rust tie in!
Must be so hard for this young lad. Losing his entire family, dad doing life in prison, mother and little brother murdered 😢. Hope busters doing okay 🖤
Don't be sad for him, because buster also killed a 15-year-old boy called Stephen Smith, just because he knew that buster was gay. This family is from hell man 😅.
Buster gives me the like father like son feel and he appears so cold, calculating and frequently looks for his father and defense table when he answer questions. Not one tear for Mom and bro'. very interesting...
I hope they find answers to what Buster did to Stephen Smith. Glad the investigation was opened again.
It may not have been him,it could have been another family member, He may not even be aware of why it happened, or another family member who disapproved of that relationship,the only thing is ,I believe I heard that his father and uncle offered their legal services for free, in that case,which is unusual,,did they collect monies on that case,in another manner?,,remember it's 2015 its more open now, than 13 years ago,it would bring shame on the family name too, if it became common knowledge,of a suspected relationship with a man
What did he do to Stephen A Smith, call him a little colored boy? Dispicable..........
Sure enough I pray he’s the next one sitting in daddies chair
Agreed
@@emmanuelnjohnjoh3921 13 years ago? Did I just wake up in 2028?
Why was Buster allowed to be in the courtroom before he testified?
This 👆🏼
I cannot believe no one has mentioned this! Highly unusual
He's not an eyewitness to the crime. He's basically a character witness and his testimony would not be influenced by the prosecution witnesses.
I read something about he is considered a Victim and that gave him right to be there.
Actually, I have Hearn NONE of the witnesses have been kept out of the proceedings. Both sides have agreed to NOT sequester the witnesses. Defense had a hearing to state that all the defense witnesses wanted to be in the courtroom to show the jury they support Alex. Since none of the defense witnesses are “fact witnesses”, at least as far as witnessing the crime, the Prosecution didn’t have much of a legal basis to object to the request by the defense.
This is a totally perfect example of people letting money, wealth, & privilege make them think they're above everyone else, even the law. Its disgusting hearing them just casually talking about having all these houses here & there & all their other money flaunting while lots of people can't afford one house. Im glad Alex got shown that money can't let you get away w murder. God rest Paul & Maggie & give Buster the strength to still have a wonderful life knowing his mom & brother are always w him

Drivel. Buster is an entitled, hideous little turd who was happy to try to cover up the murder committed by his brother. After that, he was happy to try to cover up the double-murder committed by his father.
Honestly, I don’t feel bad for Buster. I know that it’s probably a terrible thing to say but it’s true. I think Buster knows more than what he is trying to make people believe he do. I wouldn’t be surprised if he is covering up for his Dad, probably because his dad probably had to cover up for him his whole life. Also, for him to lose his mother and little brother he seems awfully chill, a little bit too chill if you ask me. Yes, people grieve in many different ways but his whole demeanor seems very off putting. Almost like he’s emotionally detached or something.
I know what ur saying. I see it too.
Yeah, everyone wanted to see him on the stand crying and acting a damn fool.so they can have something else to talk about. I'm glad he held his cool.
@@brendathacker2913 You have to take into an account about all the stuff that his family has done and the lives that they ruin. Like, there is a whole Netflix documentary series about them. So, it’s kind of hard to not be side eyed a family who basically got away with murder and other shady things that were covered up for as long as they did.
Some people grieve by detaching their emotions. Stop writing about it, when you don't even know the basic facts! You mischievous sociopath! Netflix is not relevant! What murder did they get away with?
@@dinuffin In my previous statement above I clearly stated that people grieve in many different ways, but he seems off and he do. I didn’t say anything about the family getting away with murder, the people who lived in the same area as the family has stated that they were suspect to be linked to the murders that occurred in their small neighborhood. Google is free, if you want to look it up for yourself go right ahead. Although, I don’t understand why are you calling me a mischievous sociopath when I haven’t said anything heinous about him. How about you stop being a bootlicker for a family who probably wouldn’t spit on you if you were on fire. Have some self respect. good day, evening or night where ever you are located
Wtf why is Alex sitting there smiling so proud Like he's listening to him give a graduation speech?
It's his son,come on!!
I don't see these guys smiling I don't know where you get the idea that they're smiling they're trying to be at football but not smiling
They're trying to be affable agreeable affable
He’s been coached for months and remembers his lines. AM is saying - Good job, Buster!
I was thinking the same!
Wonder why Alex has stopped rocking back and forth since his son took the stand.
I pray to God to give you lot of beautiful days and you know God loves us so much,So where are you originally from? I am David originally from Spain Granada but currently living in Texas now and you
M.E. Valencia. He's not rocking because Buster is testifying in his dad's favor. Doesn't have near as much anxiety
This young man has had everything he knew and loved ripped away from him. No matter who is guilty he is the one that now has a life sentence without his family.
Be careful. He has done dirt too. Stay tuned
@@allenmaddox203 honestly I feel like if anyone had any evidence he did anything to that boy, when Netflix came around and when the pitchforks came out, so would have the evidence about that guy
@@elizabethdickerson1136 Fear is a powerful tool!
@@elizabethdickerson1136 why!!!? 🫤
@@allenmaddox203 hello Allen! How R U
Remember the day after or the week after his father was sentenced Buster was photographed with his girlfriend walking their dog with this huge smile on his face he looks so carefree and happy. Just lost his entire family but you know what he’s got a girlfriend and inherited the whole family fortune. I bet if his father was in the same position he’d be smiling just as big.
What fortune? Everything the family had beach house, hunting property, etc. was sold off to pay back the millions of dollars Alex had embezzled from the law firm and stole from his clients.
Buster was lying when he claimed that the family believed that Paul was not driving the boat the night of the accident. They knew Paul was the driver. He lied.
You dk that. 🤦Smh
How could someone who was not there know who was driving?
There have been several different testimonies of who was driving from the people who were there that night.
Family values: hunters/animal&people killers//druggies/thieves.
I believe there is an audio of others begging Paul to let someone else drive.
Buster threw Paul under the bus like Alex did.
Doesn’t matter how many days or years when your reminded your mom and brother are dead you would show emotion
eyes so cold, cold like Ice! I'm watching on my big screen, the eyes are dead. NOTHING!
Time heals bud.
Are you with him 24/7
Do you live with him?
You speak on behalf of the world? Because you experience everyone’s emotions? And you KNOW this based on that experience? 😅 bet not.
When something like this happens you know there was something bigger going on between that family that we didn’t hear about. Def a dark situation
The house keeper and the caregiver were more emotional than son and brother of the victims
What's your point?
Very odd dude. Completely devoid of any emotions.
It tells you a lot
So one must be crying all the time, otherwise they were not emotionally attached? Everyone processes grief differently. My dad died abruptly in front of me, we were very close, but I did not wear my grief on my sleeve on front of people, but I think about him all the time and will never forget that moment.
@@powerboatguy2308 theres a difference between showing emotion & being stone cold, calm, collected like you are explaining how to scramble eggs. the 2 guilty parties are the only ones left.. dead men tell no tales, except wen a dead man presses record on his cell as his dad is murdering them! But SLED let Buster remove the guns from the house AFTER the murders, while they were there investigating it. Hows that for being devoid of emotions? Psychopaths. They own SCs legal system so I doubt even if they had CTV footage of them killing (Paul & Maggie) they would be found guilty. Open investigation on Buster for killing his gay lover Steven. Corruption. 5 bodies in 4 yrs. If you were a juror, how would you vote bc dragging this trial out in front of them does nothing but show them how powerful the Murdaughs are. Even the Gov of SC gave them the highest award, "Palmetto Award" for "helping the Police." Helping them do what?
The way they tried to cover up the death of the young girl is despicable. If they can do that, they can do anything .
Who knows what they covered up over the years. Before all this happened. This didn't start with that boat crash.
True, not to mention his involvement in the mrdr of that young gay man found in the middle of a deserted road. He's a menace to society just like his pappy. Annoying random point...he must have touched the mic at least 100 freaking times. And, his entire stance was arrogant. Pure traushhh.
There's questions regarding the death of a housekeeper/housemaid on their property too, the Murdaugh's paid a settlement to the employees' family & it wasn't a clear cut accidental or natural death. Edit: after watching the Netflix docuseries I learnt that Alex Murdaugh sued himself on the housekeepers family's behalf without their knowledge, a settlement was given by the insurance company for a 6 figure amount but Murdaugh Snr never handed over the cash to the family, they never received a dime in compensation.
Watch the Netflix documentary- Paul switched his cell phone on record & recorded his dad shooting he & his Mom!!!
Multiple deaths associated with this family. A car accident that could have killed passengers, luckily no one hurt, but the incident was cleaned up and no DUI, charges or traffic infractions on Paul. That was before a boat “accident” that killed a girl, and this family tried to frame the friend of Paul’s. It goes on And on and I wonder how many other lives they’ve effected or hurt that are still under wraps or kept out of the media.
Let us all acknowledge that this is a young man that has been groomed since birth to be a task manager for the family. Holding on to only secret trickles of himself that were later covered up teaching him that being “Buster” is unacceptable. This child has had to carry the weight of many men all of his life. I hope when this is over finally he can heal the boy to save the man. I hope he feels peace knowing this is his last performance. This job he has carried is finally over. He should steer clear of his father and find strength to find himself and be whatever the hell he wants. My heart is praying for you young man. Do YOU for a change. Sending prayers. Forgive yourself. It was never YOU. It was him… the father you were dealt. Unfortunately.
Who cares.. when other people commit crimes, no one has any empathy for their life or what they have experienced, so I am not extending any courtesy or excuses to him.

@@lenaprice6239 Right. And the Murdaugh clan in particular has had no mercy in sentencing people with far lesser crimes to death or life in prison. No excuse for the clan.
Agree. People have no idea how hard it is to be the eldest sibling in a dysfunctional family.
@@Daria_Es not just them. there is a murdaugh family that runs every town and city in america and around the world. this was an accidental lifting of the veil of what goes on. nothing will change.
Alex and his defense team have set this young man for failure by making him him testify in such a straightforward case. Buster is the remaining son and he should have at least told him the truth and advise him to learn from his mistakes and be a better man/father/husband in the future 😢

America needs to worry about gangs and irresponsible gun owners
@@ritadonnelly8820 agree totally
people who feel sad for him are so naive, he knows the truth, he knows how the family works. he knows exactly what happened and why it happened.
I agree with you 💯. He’s well aware of everything all the deceit that is why he isn’t emotional because he can’t fake what he doesn’t feel. He’s got to focus on every word he says and how he says it.
Agreed he has a bad temper like his dad and Paul. Paul was hitting on his ex when they were together. In the Documentary on Netflix Paul's ex talks about hoe Buster was gay and was with Stephen the boy who died and was found in the middle of a road. It was said that Buster was called by Stephen to give him a ride and Buster showed up with some other guys with him and they had just came from their baseball game. Stephen thought they were there to help him but it is said that they started calling him names and making g fun of him and then either all of them or just Buster beat him with their baseball bat until he died. He was then placed in the middle of the road to look like a hit an run. His family took care of all of it and the cops questioned it at first but when Busters name started going around that he was actually there they say the case was swept under the rug real quick and no one heard another word about it after that until all of this stuff started happening and investigators started looking into all the deaths surrounding their family. They are finding all kinds of evidence and very odd situations of others dying in weird ways while at their house or on their property and other situations. It is all crazy. This family thought they could get away with murder bc they had done it so many times before but its all coming to a head now and all of their skeletons are being drug out for the public to see. Buster will be the next one in court for murder over the death of Stephen. .
Totally he shows no emotion blank.
Yep. He is another devil like his father.
I would like to think Id know how I'd react in his shoes but I don't know. I'd like to imagine what his upbringing was like to not know parents birthday under examination during a world wide sensationalized and televised trial of the murder of my mom and bro where my dad's the accused, but I cannot. In fact, there is no one I know coming close to any of this I could ask. Our society is basic and hasn't evolved. We are no better than the attendees at the Roman colosseum s where watching someone be eaten by a lion was entertainment. Your anonymity should not be an excuse.
Why is the family not seeking the culprit? Oh because it was Dad!!!!
Buster is probably on antidepressants because of this. Antidepressants can make you seem emotionless. They also can make you unable to cry. Speaking from experience 😢
The internet is not your therapist lol
Truth!
Exactly. Also, no one sees what happens behind closed doors. 🚪
Me being a victim of a father who is a sociopath and had my brother killed and got away with it. His smiling at Buster is natural manipulation tactic. My dad did the same in court. It is appalling that you'd even smile at such a situation. A true victim if innocence if he was, would be hanging his head low, and shattered that his life's uprooted and the killer is still free.
Or, removing you natural bias, it could also be a father who’ve wife and son were murdered, father died after lengthy illness, mother with Alzheimer’s and just proudly beaming at the only family member he has. He looked and sounded like a loving father
Or a father proud of his son for being courageous in the face of a govt/state actor that is out of control and too lazy to investigate other(s), and is truthful and stern yet not intimated… idk just another perspective/view of what I just watched
Yea I definitely agreewith u Nina !i think his smiling is a " I knew I picked the right son" kinda look..I agree as someone who came from an abusive manipulative parent as well..and I am the oldest so Its like ur groomed the most to obey and automatically know what ur parent wants u to say..even to this day I'm still guilted into doing what my mother wants even if it causes me stress.. also that family abused their power for years and got away with so much illegal and horrible things.. buster didn't mess up like his brother did and he didn't bring eyes on his dad's business so of course he wasn't a target like his brother..I guarantee it was the dad..if he can take money from the whole town with no remorse and constantly and illegally cover up everything him and his family did then u know killing isn't unfathomable
Sorry about your family. That's tragic.
I’m so sorry to hear
Buster's affect when talking about his Mother and Brother. Flat.
Yes, extremely flat
He might be depressed and/or having to give testimony at murder trial of two family members might be overwhelming and is incomprehensible to most.
You mean flat compared to you?
It is weird.
It's of upbringing in that area and affluence....... don't show emotions... keep things...issues, secrets etc within the family. Generations of this I am sure.
If my mom and brother were brutally murdered I could not be sitting there cool as a cucumber. So cold.
Out of all the attorneys Alex could choose from, I can not wrap my head around why he chose Jim to represent him. The guy seems lost in the courtroom, not confident, slow, boring to watch .... hammered in non important time lines and completely missed the most important key points!
It is incredible to me that they allow ANY witnesses to sit in the courtroom prior to their testimony.
If it's a close family member testifying, i.e. son,mother,etc, they are considered a victim as well do not required to be sequestered.
What a complete waste of the jurors time….. I would be pissed!!!!!!
That's what I thought. Perhaps there are different laws in that state.
@Mudd we're not communists
I’m eth hang 😢😢n😢no 😢 Ty
There’s no way he’s going to drop his dad anything he will stick up for him. He won’t admit anything he knows because his future would be at risk is lying for daddy.
Dude is still on the gravy train. Won't give that up EVER........
Yes bc daddy was willing to "get shot" so he could inherit 10 mil life insurance money
Is the reason because possibly daddy helped him with another murder from 2015?
They sure didn't ask buster about the voice at the.kennel or did l miss it "bubba"

11:10 this time stamp is proof buster and Paul did not get along , he was a mommas boy buster a daddy’s
I don’t think that at all
Don't agree - he's just trying to keep it together - he's been thrown under the bus by his father
A lot of people don’t know that the judge had lost his son 2 weeks before this case began imagine how hard it was for him so sad
The defense is like: "so Buster, what did you have for lunch? What's your favorite color"?
He failed to mention his very unsuccessful stint in law school.
I hope the states brings that up and how daddy tried, unsuccessfully, to get (buy) him back in. None of the members of this family seen too bright and only got by on the family reputation. This is an embarrassment to our judicial system!!!

@@helenwait8447 Yes, indeed! Buster does not have the academic chops to earn a law degree, but you betcha, good ole pappy was going to flex that Murdaugh muscle and get his boy the right to have "Esq." after his name. Buster has no interest in the legal profession, because clearly, he does not have the academic ability. Alec meant to continue the family legal dynasty at all costs. The thought of his boy not being a lawyer was anathema to him. There is nothing worse than performing a job that your heart is not into. It is a slow, painful existence. What a shame! I could hear the lack of interest in Buster's voice when he and Alec were having the phone conversations about getting back into school. These people have been throwing their weight around for 100 years. They fully expected to continue to do so for another 100 years.

The house keeper demonstrated far more emotion than Buster or the dad..

Stop yelling. Lower case is adequate.
Interesting he's 26 yrs old and doesn't know his dad's birthday date but they also describe themselves as a small, close family
If the Murdaugh's are such a close-knit and loving family, how does Buster not know his own father's birthday?

Very good question 👍🏽
This will make me sound like an ass, but I'm 33 and couldn't tell you the bdays of my 3 older siblings, mom, or dad. Hell, I even have to take pause for a moment to remember the day of my daughter's birth. Some of us just suck at things. Bdays is one of them
Wondering the very same. I know everyone's birthday in my family, we were close. Maybe things weren't as buster described, i.e. maybe more tension & disfunction with the home team than acknowledged. a) Paul's nickname was "the little detective." b) little detective was handled by taking off his head with a 12 ga. - Then, mama shot in head with the blackout.
@phil Then u never had to worry @ presents or cards(?)
4:33 Alex smiles at this (and other) great memories. It's so hard to comprehend how he could destroy all possibility of making more together. They were definitely a close family.

Sad!
Alex Didn't Kill them. You allow the real killers to get away .And condemn an innocent man. Alec may have lied( like you all do!) But he didn't kill them. These were likely the Most Vicious Heinous REVENGE KILLINGS associated with the Boat accident! Leave Buster alone --Don't start following him around with your hatred and vious gossip , Don't keep harassing and threatening him-- just as you harassed , bullied and threatened Paul Maudough Until you had him and his Mother Slaughtered by revenge Killers.

They are all the same. But what chance do any of them have with a father like they have? There's way more to come out yet. Lots of demons and skeletons.
That video of the birthday party actually made me cry. God this case is so painful and soul crushing in every single aspect.
You mean the video where Paul brought int he cake and Alex blew out the candles before they finished singing? That revealed how he was going to do everything HIS way imo. And gave him great pleasure as if to say “I’m going to even control this birthday song”. Horrible to witness his narcissism. Although usually narcissists don’t kiss up to people the way he did on those phone calls. But that was his means of control. Every narcissist knows what works with others.
Also, he moved that birthday up several weeks early….hmmm…..all part of the master plan.

I know. I hadn’t really heard of this case until a week ago. The more you research this and the more you think you know. The more you look back and you just can’t understand it. Some of it seems like media sensationalism like the house keeper and the young guy who died on the Highway but you don’t really know.
Exactly , they're talking about your loves ones being killed and they seem like they are making the groceries list. I mean, have a little blood in your vains!! You're talking about the last time you talked over the phone with your mom!
very true. We all are in the same boat.... this case is mind boggling.

@@travelseatsyellowlab exactly. some of these people who are commenting don't even cry for one day and they want this guy to be howling and wailing in court!!!

They were not responsible gun owners at all.
Agree 100%
Great book title for the Murdaugh family tragedy,”Reckless Privledge “
💯
They want you to think that! They were very responsible gun owners. Both these men are guilty & dead men tell no body. SLED let Paul remove all the guns from the house AFTER the murders while they were there investigating. Pauls cell recorded His dad talking at the scene of the murders! Paul did the right thing pressing "record." Watch the Netflix documentary. They will both go free bc they own the SC legal system. Who knows what they hav on the Governor. So much Corruption.
Of course Buster was coached beforehand! After all, he's on the stand to talk about his idyllic family life --- all the games his Dad coached, the different houses they had, and all the hunting parties they participated in just to kill anything with a heartbeat.
Lots of Sex workers and Gambling too! It's a party Boyz 🎉
@@LizzaJo --- Whatever is introduced in court, and is properly addressed by the defense or the prosecution --- or both --- is what I care to discuss or opine on. Everything else is gossip and innuendo. I don't care about either.

@ Mel I know Man they loved killing animals- seems a lot of bonding done over and Paul walking around with two guns most of time when he went over to other guy across the way to deal with his hogs.. He said he showed his Son how to “dispatch” honestly a gruesome and dangerous lifestyle ..
Talking about his mother and brother being shot with no feeling what so ever. Unbelievably sad 😢
The dad looks like a character from The Jetsons, and the sons look like Archie. lol
Strange how he doesn't remember the calls from his mother made on the day she was murdered. I would think it would be unforgettable. Permanently etched on his memories.
You got that right! My real mother was murdered by her horrible husband. It's been years and I can still to this day remember her last 2 phone call convos and even her voice message. These folks are heartless and sick. Like they were both in on it....with knowledge or doing it themselves.
I even remember the last call from my mother in law, every word.
Watch the Netflix documentary- Paul switched his cell phone on record & recorded his dad shooting he & his Mom!!! Buster was prolly in on it. Theres vid (from a drone they didnt see) of Cops letting Buster remove all the guns from the house AFTER the murders! Corruption all the way up. According to Paul, he wasnt loved by his parents, he was raised by the housekeeper who seemed to be murdered (after seeing all the evidence in the doc) & Paul rebelled after her death.

It is so tragic. TheAlex Murdaugh family had a very privileged American life.

This kid is not thinking about anything but all the cash Is about to get 😂
A lot of those attorney questions have absolutely nothing to do with anything...
SAYS WHO? YOU? EVERYTHING MATTERS IN COURT ON OFFICIAL RECORD. CANT TELL YOUR SMARTASS NOTHING THOUGH.
That's kinda the point. The defense doesn't have much to work with. Alex's attorneys damn well know Alex did it. Their only move is to attack the investigation & prosecution. Putting Buster on the stand was to frame the Murdaugh family as this close, functional, nornal thing, when everything else points to it being dysfunctional, greed/power driven & image obsessed. But it's the picture that's painted for the jury & public that the defense cares about. Even if it's all a facade.
Haven't we all moved past Alex Murdaugh is a good family man and an honest, reliable kind of guy?
LOL. Denial in freight.
And an innocent man , there is no reliable evidence that Alex did the unthinkable, he Will walk away a free honest sincere man.

And lying
He got kicked out because he doesn't seem like a bright person.
@@lillyq361. He got kicked out for cheating, actually plagiarism best describes the offence he entered into.
It's been 2 years, and Buster just seems like the type of person to show no emotion whatsoever. He just looks like he wants this all be behind him and just live life. You can tell that he misses him mom and brother. In all honesty he seems like a great guy, the only bad thing is his ties to his dad. Buster lost everything and now he has nothing. I am praying for him and I hope he gets everything good out of life and someway honors he's mom and Paul. RIP Paul and Maggie Murdaugh.
He did get about 2.6 million of the 3.9 million from the sale of Moselle. Obviously not comparable to losing his family, but he's well off. The money his dad was trying to get from killing Paul and Maggie, Buster ended up getting.
@@kelkeep1467 an article in The NY Times and a SC newspaper said he got 530,000 from the sell of the house . Don’t know if that’s true but I did see that in two articles.

He actually has 10 mill all up lol so I wouldn't say he's got nothing.
I don't see evidence that he misses any of them. He looks like a man who never feels anything.
I’ve been watching these testimonies for a long time. I’ve seen them all many times. I just can’t get over how much they turned this tragedy into a real law and order episode on live TV. This was purely for the country’s entertainment. This is nuts.
And these days what we need is entertainment. I love shows like this one.
No mention of being expelled from law school. Buster is the young version of A.M. He knew what his crooked dad was up to. Mocelle was aquired because of a debt from a well known Drug Dealer.

Alex Murdough should have pled the fifth like Donald Trump did 0ver 400 times
I don’t know his history as I didn’t care to even give time to these soulless people. But watching his testimony for few minutes i am picking up this “father like son” vibe here.
And not for nothing as soon as that man would’ve asked me was Maggie your mother was Paul, your brother I would’ve been in tears they were brutally murdered how he could sit there without any emotion is just indescribable, and the same holds true for his father. No emotion only worrying about himself and self-preservation. He is where he’s supposed to be may paw paw and Maggie rest in peace forever. At least they have each other in heaven.
@Shaquille O'atmeal what's the problem? Your brain can't make simple connections without exact punctuation at this age?
The whole family.....demonic
You don’t know he is only thinking of himself and self-preservation. You have zero way of knowing that. You can guess but you said he IS only… Not so.. you do not know.
Watching this testimony from Buster in my opinion it seems as though Buster didn’t know too much about Paul and where Paul was living and at some times he didn’t even know where (Buster) he lived at times. This testimony was a really good example of a rehearsed conversation. This family unit is to be deceiving as a healthy family but what kind of family lives off of other people’s stolen money and acts like it’s a healthy way to live?
He sounds like he doesn't care about anything or has any emotions at all.
He keeps looking at his father after every serious answer.

I get what you are saying, but it still has to be weird to testify against your dad with him staring at you. The whole case is tragic 😥
He's a liar..... completely complicit with his father, covering for him.
That's actually pretty normal. Long-term memory is often more powerful

Something that sticks out to me now is when he talks about who was at Mozelle when he got there that night, it’s like a “Who’s Who” of this case. If you’ve followed this case, they’ve all become household names. What a way to be remembered in life. Buster said their biggest concern about the boat crash was the lawsuit. What about the fact that a young woman lost her life? Your families love of money is what brought you to this place that you will never come back from. Welcome to the real world Bus Bus where most of us live within our means.
Buster up there looking like: “I gotta tell the court that me and my woman Brooklynn resides in Columbia?”
Most of us remember the last conversations we had with people we loved and lost. The fact that he does not recall says something. Also, why would you want to stay where the murder scene was, if you thought there was a killer on the loose that might come back for you?

Right on.. The last day I saw my mother alive. I can remember that entire day and everything we talked about. How she acted even . I recalled that day for years . Thinking about it daily hourly because it was the last time we spoke and seen each other. She spent entire day with me and went home that evening and had a heart attack and died. I didn’t know it till next day when she didn’t show up at my house. I always called her even if we spent all day together at night but that night her phone was messed up and phone company was coming that week . I tenrber even telling her I hated her going home when I couldn’t call her to check on her and she said it’s okay I’ll be back tomm.. regardless u do remember everything !
He didn't know much about his addiction and wasn't sure about how he reacted to being confronted about drugs...but yet, they were on the phone as a family non-stop all the time. This guy ...as many are saying....sounds very well prepped for giving his testimony.
I have been abusing drugs for years before anyone around me found out….addicts are manipulative, lying professionals believe me. Non of this proves that he killed them but it does not surprise me that nobody knew about his addiction!!!
I don't personally believe he had a drug addiction to the degree that he is playing it up. I don't know why he had so many pills on him, but for example today and Alex's testimony he talked about taking upwards of 130 mg pills a day. That this was an addiction that he was already knee deep in by the time his father, Busters Grandpa, retired in 2006. If that's true, and how can we believe that it is, that means for most of Buster's childhood his dad was on drugs. I don't know how many drug addicts you know, but I've never known any who for over 20 years never switch to a harder substance that cost less, never had a messy episode that someone could testify they were caught falling asleep or nodding off and so no... I don't think he was an addict and I think that's why his son wasn't aware. But I do think it's a convenient story to tell your younger son when you're found with pills in your possession that you were perhaps pedaling or selling to other people. And I think after you've killed your wife and sun and stoled from all your friends and co-workers, it's convenient to say that it was the drugs that did it.
We are a very close family yet there are secrets that are not shared or known …. In a family thread …. We all know this ….

You can be a family member of and addict and not understand it or know it. I was married to an addict and because I don’t use drugs/alcohol, I wasn’t able to grasp it or pick up on it. Just saying, addicts are very convincing. It’s hard to know if you don’t have those issues. Don’t put the cart before the horse on this guy.
10 mins in notes so far… when they panned to his dad his dad is smiling and it hit me to why… he is happy that his son is going to have his back… he is happy that he lives on still through his cloned son that is him? The right about 8 mins he is having buster list the types of rifles and after the last one u see a nervous tongue licking inside mouth… he then did this again when he started talking about Paul taking his gun like as soon as he started to speak ill and back his father he knows this is important to stay calm and stick to the plan… this is riveting.. I noticed his dad would have the ticks of nodding and lip smacking these psychopaths just want their way and authenticity or truth hits them is shakes them to their core!!! They can’t hide the fake

If my mom and little brother had recently been murdered and I was a witness in the murder trial of my father I believe I would have more emotion than buster while describing my family knowing they're gone forever. In my opinion he talks about Paul like he hated him.

We know what happened to Mallory was a horrible accident and as horrible as it was, it was probably the least tragic one out of all of the other murders because the accident was not a murder but what Alex did to a woman who literally worked for him for 20 years, she was a devoted worker, raised his kid for him and what he did to his own child and wife ….I just can’t comprehend that AND what about that poor boy that was found dead in the middle of the road ? We don’t know why was he killed and it’s crazy to me nobody is able to find out who murdered him ….and why did he kill his son and wife ? What was his motive ?! Wtf happened that night …only the monster Alex is would have known ….just horrible …so many lives have been lost and he is walking around his prison cell like nothing freakin happened
From what I read the lid on the box was about to burst open on his fraud, the lawsuit regarding Mallory. It wasn't going to look good but if something of tragic proportions happened to Alex, all this could be brushed aside. He was banking on this and he sacrificed his family to go that route. It would be interesting to find out about Stephen Smith who was mysteriously killed near the Murdaugh home - allegedly hit by a car even though no car debris could be found and still wearing shoes. Wonder if the M.E. was being bribed to come up with that conclusion. Stephen Smith's family has managed to exhume the body and have an independent autopsy to find out how he truly died. I hope they find justice.
mallory was a tragic accident, maggie and paul was blunt murder, he never wanted her to die, no one there wanted her to die, he was totally drunk and out of control, as they all were on that boat in my opinion, he was made the only sole responsible for it which is unfair as bad as he was drunk it doesnt justify it, so it doesnt justify his murder and the bashing, i think people cant be capable of fair judgement anymore, its everyone for itself like in the jungle that is why the worst happened
I am unsure of the name Murdaugh. The name comes up when I google it and it shows the name as pronounced Mer daw. I’m wondering why the name is pronounced so differently by everyone. What’s going on here?
Because they are lazy when it comes to speaking in English. Ask roro handsome and Paw Paw you will find them under the blue tart
Buster has absolutely no sadness, no outrage no tears for the loss of his Mother and brother!!! So incredibly cold hearted!!!!
His girlfriend probably has some vital evidence
Everyone grieves differently. This man is on the world stage testifying against his father for the murder of his mother and brother and you're going to judge from your couch knowing nothing about him? Says more about you than him.
He seemed to be holding back tears when he stated AM told him his mother and brother had been shot. Also got to remember the amount of time that has passed since their deaths, he may be mostly through the process of grief.
@@Warden033 it’s because he is a murderer also. Cold hearted
I was thinking the same thing. Must take after his dad.
How Proud Alec is of Buster testifying🤦♀️🙇🏼♀️
