    I just re-read the article. It now says that one person was arrested and he acted alone and there were not truckloads of militia. Given that new reporting, aren't the above messages "misinformation"? For that matter, wasn't the original article "misinformation". It tied unfounded (and now...

    And contingency fees are going into a trust account where they can sit for 30 days to much much longer. It all depends on liens on the award, probate matters, etc. Firms are required to reconcile their trust accounts but it is a bear to say the least. Partners would almost never catch...

    They put him on the stand because the financial information was allowed to come in as prrof of motive. If judge doesnt allow it, he would not have taken the stand.

    Kind of hard to obstruct justice when LE was complicit in the "obstruction".

    The Murdaugh influence on the boating accident is only a glaring example of what happens everyday. Their ability to influence law enforcement at the outset of the investigation is not normal, but money and influence gets A LOT of people of out of tough situations everyday. I mentioned...

    Yes, but I am aware the case posture and all attorney's involved. Again, not saying it won't settle, it just won't be because of Tinsley's testimony. Very good attorney's on both sides. If you ever want to read about a case, all filings are public. You just google the county where it filed...

    They may, but only because most cases do. But I can promise you that the defense lawyers are not concerned at all about Tinsley's testimony.

    Yeah, I spent the better part of the year organizing the judges stock holdings book, managing the docket, communicating with counsel and reading prisoner mail. He started trusting me and let me sit on the bench for one trial and one PCR hearing. The trial was one of the first in the country...

    Good question, but I know for a fact that the plan was as it happened. They may have wanted to split up the work which would make it easier to prepare. Not sure.

    Not true. Right or wrong, good or bad, it was the plan all along. Harpootlian did the opening, Griffin the closing.

    The fact that he sat there stone faced when the clerk said guilty is the strongest evidence of his guilt i have seen.

    On a side note, I would have fired the woman in the row behind the prosecutors who kept making faces whenever Dick and Jim were making points. That is how you can lose a jury no matter how good your case is.

    I am far from an expert, but I think they all did a very good job with the reality of their case. Prosecution. I was impressed with entire team. With no direct evidence and a bungled crime scene, they had to focus on the lies and they did that. It was a relatively easy story to tell with...

    IMO, hard to say how well he did. I clerked for a judge right out of law school and Meadors was the solicitor who we dealt with the most and I always liked him and thought he did a good job. That is definitely his personality, but you never know with juries. They are finicky and...

    Yeah, this has me baffled as well. I don't know why they didn't go with the story that he just walked up on his wife and son brutally murdered and he was barely able to complete a cogent thought. I think most humans would be completely out of it, probably even if they pulled the trigger. I...
