So my Mom & I have been watching the #AlexMurdaugh #Murder #CourtTrials & my Mom was so fast to be like - he's the killer! He's got clean clothes! He's not really crying - then my Mom demonstrates to me, how she'd react if she even THOUGHT of fact we got shot & killed. So my Mom was like - he's guilty.

“He was crying uncontrollably. The uncles [#AlexMurdaugh’s brothers, #JohnMarvinMurdaugh and #RandyMurdaugh] finally got him into a car.”

What makes me ask if this assessment is correct is this:

When people can see highly placed, wealthy and powerful men, especially white ones, like Alex Murdaugh get away with endless gaslighting and endless crime ….

When such men are never held responsible and they're at the top of society:

What makes us think things may really be changing now, with the Murdaugh conviction?

Some very conspicuous powerfu; criminal rich men continue free, continue gaslighting, after all.

I hope that Mandy Matney's assessment of what Alex Murdaugh's conviction means is right: she says that he was trying to gaslight everyone, because, as a rich white man, he thought he could get away with it. So:

"The case is a huge wake-up call to people who have been abusing the system and relied on old traditions and horrible ways of thinking. Pretty much all of Alex’s victims are Black people, children and the infirm. They’re getting justice, too."

@danyork There's also Farhad Manjoo's article at the NYT: "Why Alex Murdaugh’s Quick Conviction Worries Me"

[P]rosecutors reconstructed a tight timeline of the crime using lots and lots of data. Among other sources, they extracted information from Alex, Maggie and Paul Murdaugh’s iPhones, call records of family and friends, location and speed data from Murdaugh’s S.U.V., entry logs from his office security system, images from automatic license plate readers mounted on public roads, communications on social networks and messaging apps, reams of financial data and video and audio recorded on Murdaugh’s 911 call .... [P]rosecutors in the Murdaugh case claimed to find many deeper truths in the digital record. And it’s in their interpretations of the data that they sometimes lost me. Often, they seemed to be finding patterns in the data that didn’t necessarily hold true, and this made me wary that the authorities can build outlandish stories from our data.

Surveillance capitalism melds with the surveillance state. Sure, this case seems to be a highly-plausible murderer convicted through digital forensics, but far more mundane or harmful possibilities loom.

Cardinal Richelieu's (apocryphal) "six lines" quip comes to mind.

When all the twists and turns in the #AlexMurdaugh trial are stripped away, it's a case of domestic violence using #guns in the household.

Buster is next! Your son is next Alex!", a person yelled to #AlexMurdaugh as he left court Friday morning.

To receive two consecutive life sentences, then be perp-walked out of a courtroom, from which a portrait of your late grandfather — who was once a 14th Circuit attorney — had to be removed before you could be tried for the murder of your wife and child…

Well, that’s one hell of an ugly reality, and it’s entirely of your own making. You’ll be keeping plenty of company with it; it’ll never leave you.

Alex Murdaugh's lies about his deed
Brought him before the court's great stead
Though no one sought death penalty
Judge gave him life, not leniency
His heinous crime shall stay on record
His lies our minds no longer can shelter

#alexmurdaugh sentenced to life in prison for the murder of mother and son thank goodness now we can stop talking about that bastard I wish Rittenhouse had the same fate so we wouldn't have to see his face next to republican lawmakers like Matt Gaetz

The rich and powerful #AlexMurdaugh has been indicted, tried, convicted, and sentenced for his multiple clear heinous crimes.

Now, let's do #DonaldTrump.
