doc i want to go back to you. what type of guy are we dealing with this murdaugh? what do you see as you have watched part of this trial. i think he s someone who seems like he s really suffered and he s had it in a very difficult way. 10% of americans know someone either a friend or a close relative that have overdosed we re still losing 120 americans every day from opioid overdoses so i think it s important to realize that there might be people in that jury that have lost people to opioid overdoses. so i think you know, it s very difficult to give him the benefit of the doubt when he s harm his credibility so much but i think if he s sincere, obviously, is in doubt this very well might be something that, you know, avoids a conviction. yeah. see that s my concern right there. is that there s so many americans we re in the different time where we re having these conversations.

prosecution prove that he committed this murder? yeah look. that i think timeline proves it. now he did a great job on the stand if there s a hung jury it s because of murdaugh s testimony but he s at the scene minutes before the murder and then he says he takes golf cart to his house. and he s got 283 steps and he s on thes phone. he s not napping or chilling but he s out of there. and then they gots onstar records that have him going right by where his wife s phone is found at a lower speed and then increases up to 74 milings an hour goes to his moms house for a short period of time he lie about that too and came back and found bodies. so that s where the crux of the state s case needs to be and that s where i think he made mistake focusing on everything else to convict this man. you created a better case than the prosecution did i think they needed to consult you but
