Good to go back to court where he ll get his sentence. i believe with bernardo he could get the maximum sentence this judge seemed like he has tolerance for this guy. we should be clear they did not go for the death penalty they want life life for each pre-the minimum for murder is 30 years. it is certainly nothing from the judge indicated that he would go there. in the judge is the one who will make the sentencing decision. bernardo t the jury you can appr in the audience if you want but the jury has no role tomorrow. misty what do you make about the video that we just saw him walking out in the night before convicted of a double murder of your wife and son in handcuffs, there he is leaving a moment to go he will be sentenced tomorrow morning. i would i m sure he s thinking about, look, he s a master manipulator. that s what we ve seen. i m wondering if he s thinking to himself, i really thought that i could change the narrative and i really thought my testimony would knock this the other way. its impossible to tell.
Likely. i do agree with the other panelist, i did think we came back this quickly it was more likely than not want to be guilty, not guilty. it s a little bit of a surprise it s this quick. again it is interesting when sarah, dave and bernardo were talking about the discussion of a possible hung jury in a surprise to happen so quickly and unanimously sarah was honing in on while he admitted to lying about the video he had reasons and excuses and you felt those may have worked with the street? look the one thing you can clearly take away from this he had been lying to a lot of people that he loved for a long time. he had obviously gotten pretty good at it. the question was going to be, i really do believe a lot of this
Bernardo, that when i got the notice on my phone that the jury came down because she had to go in, and there were two people who were guilty, and one that was tighted. let s listen to what the juror said. when you got into the room, you first took a vote? yes, it was two not guilty and one not sure and nine guilty. what was your vote? guilty. we started to deliberating and going through the evidence, and everybody was pretty much talking. and about 45 minutes later after all of our deliberating, we figured it out.
and he said that it was about 45 minutes to come to that decision, and how do you react to that, bernardo, and what happens, and what do you think that the conversation sounded like in these deliberation rooms? well, i was surprised about the quickness of the verdict, and not the actual verdict itself, and having been a former homicide prosecutor myself, and i know the weaknesses and the strengths of the case, and not every investigation was perfect, and law and order of how a trial should take place, it is not reality. and so for the most part they had alec murdaugh comply, and it is a complete game changer throughout the process. because you want to hear the defendant and what he i had to say, did he do it or not do it, and when you are look at six weeks of testimony, and
Most important people in the courtroom at this time that now have to digest all that information that s been given through the last six weeks. so a major reason why a judge doesn t allow a jury to take notes is because they want the jury to focus on the witnesses, focus on their demeanor, focus on what is being said and how it s being said because they are the judges of the facts, and they are to deliberate as to the credibility and believability of each of these witnesses. so that s why judges majority of the time do not want jurors to take notes, focus on what s being said in the courtroom. both you and bernardo brought up credibility here. one of the key facts of this case is that alex murdaugh lied for 20 months about the fact that he was at the murder scene not long before these murders were believed to have been committed. the defense made the case that he lied about it for so long because of drug use. how persuasive do you think that
Cases, guess what i didn t have, the murder weapon, and the way to address that is, number one, you tell this jury, look, because i don t have the gun, does that maneean that paul and maggie murdaugh were not killed by a firearm? and then two, focus back to the jury instruction. there is nothing in that jury instruction that says that i must produce the firearm for you to find alex murdaugh guilty, and they have those jury instructions with them back in the room deliberating. bernardo, misty, our thanks to both of you. k again, the jury in that room deliberating as we speak could go on for some time. thank you. ahead, michigan s attorney general says she was among the targets of one man s plot to kill jewish officials in her state. the court documents revealing the suspect s bizarre social media post about creating his own nation state. plus the alarming trend in iran, hundreds of school aged
Maggie and paul? he s hoping none of that makes sense to the jury, and he actually asked alex murdaugh on the stand, were the dogs acting up and sense there was something on the property and alex murdaugh answered him nobody else was around. there was no one else there. randi kaye, stand by if you will. here to discuss, both criminal defense attorneys and former prosecutors. bernardo, let s start in a bigger sense. how would you assess how this has gone so far for alex murdaugh on the stand? john, this has been completely the alex murdaugh show. he took control of the complete direct examination, which we expected, but also of the cross-examination. it has all been about alex murdaugh, and he has controlled the answers that even the questions in this case and he s the witness on the stand. he s not even the attorney who is asking the questions. this just goes to show you, when
