He is never going to tell the truth,you do the crimes you do hard time
Explain that to family
If went the other way he would if lived that
Showed a example no one's above law
They should of gone for it
Buster wiping snot on the bench?! Disgusting
Buster is the most emotionless weasel
Inocent ❤ poor men
FBI need fun all cell neer home neer he's wife beafore pass away all signal cell neer son wide the criminal have cell no mare parking at side but cell have constitution company funny cell neer other's beafore pass he's wife he's son the the fell after I thinking is inocent but FBI need work but Police all partners
Never a doubt
They don’t even look surprised. That says a lot to me
Wish they would have said Maggie and Paul's name when reading these.
Was the drug addiction just a story to get some liency for the stealing …??? The drug addicts I've seen look like shit and can't focus on anything much less a 7 figure salary.
As far as the court system in our great United States I am glad to see justice⚖ served on this despicable man.
How do you murder your son and your wife? It's unthinkable and horrific.
This abomination deserves eternal damnation. His sentence on earth just the beginning.
The only one that believes Alex is innocent is Alex.
Should've gotten death but this will do fine, 2 life sentences
He looks like a MAGA FUN
Power and money is not all in life, especial if you don't believe in God.
Cuando estan ejerciendo su profecion se sienten que son lo maximo en la tierra les place ejercer ahun sabiendo lo corrupto que son robando al ser umano. Y que tal ahora que lla se ledescubrio su horrendo y asqueroso pasado? Que verguenza somos el ser humano ante los hojos de Dios nuestro señor. Perdon señor por tu creacion.
R.I.P to each and every victim of the murdaugh murderers
No Soul.
The whole family was sick in the head! I don't feel bad for any of them.
There he goes again. Clerk calls Guilty, and he rocks while nodding his head back and forward and not side to side. Is that an involuntary, "yeh you got me again"??
He doesn't give a damn
I think he wears a wig like Trump.
It's a clear case of Alex is a Rep. Trump supporter, Mag and Paw Paw were horrid baby eating Dem.s! What choice did this man have?
Imagine having a wife who tweeted a picture of her family and talked about how everyone loved you and then murdering those people and lying about it.
May God have mercy on his soul and may God give his family rest.
Karma
Finally justice for Maggie and Paul.
He is guilty.
In unison an one drug outside with black gloves
Why not the death penalty?
Please Almighty God sometime in the future I hope I see Donald Trump in a court answering questions on all his wrong doings he has done in his miserable life.
Just another end of historically slave owners demolished💯
Yeah, but where was the actual real… raw physical evidence that this man actually murdered his wife and son? Where was his DNA? It wasnt there. This was an unfair trial. The jury was biased, and the judge really isn’t that great honestly….; Why the little digs? Why kick someone when they’re already down? Yes the man was a liar and swindler, but a murderer? They need real physical evidence for that. The community had this man hanged already from the very beginning. This case should be reopened.
Democrat outraged he murdered a kid, but have no problem with abortions.
😂 LIBTURDS ARE FUNNY
If he was black he’d been released the same day.
Alex is a Biden voter
The remaining sole survivor Buster. The son..is also truly a victim. Lost a mother..a brother (murdered by his own "father") and now his "father"….wow…that is some tough stuff he will have to deal with for the rest of his life.
JUST IN CNN TO BE SOLD TO FOOD NET WORK.
The devil walks among us. What a monster.
hes as guilty as they come
