- 21:44to Paul
- 21:46uh sometime last week okay
- 21:54sometime last week
- 21:56um
- 21:58my son Paul actually
- 22:05and I really do not
- 22:08think on all honesty that it's him but I
- 22:11know y'all gotta check it out but
- 22:15Paul
- 22:17[Music]
- 22:20was so taken aback bite
- 22:27that he sent I'll find it I got it on my
- 22:30phone he he recorded him saying bits and
- 22:33pieces of it
- 22:48but for all his weirdness I mean I do
- 22:51think they like
- 22:54I mean they got along okay pretty good
- 22:57how long have they been working here I
- 22:59guess about
- 23:00um
- 23:01three or four pay periods so
- 23:06um
- 23:07eight weeks a couple months okay
- 23:15[Applause]
- 23:17going back to the boat incident
- 23:20um
- 23:20anybody on that boat
- 23:24all right
- 23:28really have a hard on for Paul
- 23:31that you would think would come after
- 23:33him or know of any direct threats from
- 23:36people on the boat
- 23:37I don't know of any
- 23:39direct threats between any of the people
- 23:42on the boat okay specifically but I do
- 23:45think there's been a
- 23:46small amount of Yip Yap between a couple
- 23:50of them but not recently okay
- 23:54stuff from people that Paul didn't
- 23:57really know okay
- 23:59that was some people that he knew
- 24:01distantly but
- 24:03more times than not when I learned about
- 24:06it
- 24:07it was somebody that he didn't know
- 24:12um it's like for example he went out in
- 24:14Charleston a couple months ago came back
- 24:16you know he got a black eye and you know
- 24:20he can't defend himself right now
- 24:21because he has
- 24:22these charges so you know he would pause
- 24:25a real tough man's man you know he would
- 24:29just
- 24:33he would defend himself but he hadn't
- 24:35been that's right but
- 24:41as far as what how was he handling it
- 24:44I've never been prouder of him than the
- 24:47way he has handled the pressures and the
- 24:50adversity
- 24:51in that situation I think I've told
- 24:54Danny that before
- 24:58[Music]
- 25:02I mean Paul is a wonderful wonderful
- 25:05wonderful kid
- 25:08you can do almost anything he gets along
- 25:10with almost anybody
- 25:16store any weapons out here
- 25:19um we don't store them but they're
- 25:22they're you know they're frequently out
- 25:24here I need to find out if there were
- 25:26any out here because
- 25:28I know there was a shotgun there was a
- 25:3012 gauge shotgun out here
- 25:32uh
- 25:34I'll have to find out exactly when that
- 25:37was
- 25:39think it got put up
- 25:41but I'm not positive what did that
- 25:43shotgun look like
- 25:45uh it was a
- 25:48camouflage
- 25:50no
- 25:54I want to say it was a Benelli or maybe
- 25:56a Beretta I can't remember which brand
- 25:58it is
- 26:06but I don't think it was out here okay
- 26:08recently
- 26:12but I'm not positive and the shotgun
- 26:15that you had when deputies pulled up
- 26:17where did that come come from I went to
- 26:19the house and I got a gun
- 26:22probably overreacting but
- 26:25and was that when you pulled up and saw
- 26:27them no I mean I came out and me and I
- 26:31called 9-1-1 first

- 54:33do what you need to do
- 54:39so is there anybody that you can think
- 54:42of that we need to talk to tonight
- 54:45is there a name that comes to mind
- 54:48I mean I can't tell you anybody that I'm
- 54:51overly suspicious of
- 54:54the top of my head okay you know
- 54:58um I mean this is such a stupid thing
- 55:00I'm even embarrassed to say it
- 55:03but it just didn't
- 55:06make any sense I just hired a guy out
- 55:08here and
- 55:12he really he wasn't cutting the mustard
- 55:14but I hadn't told him this yet Paul's
- 55:16been working with him a lot he killed
- 55:19the sunflower seeds in our dove field
- 55:21just recently which is why Paul was here
- 55:22doing this he told Paul the story the
- 55:25other day about how when he was in high
- 55:28school he got in a fight with some black
- 55:31guys
- 55:32and FBI undercover team observed him
- 55:36fighting those guys and put him on an
- 55:40undercover team with three Navy Seals
- 55:43and their job was to kill radical Black
- 55:46Panthers and they did that from Myrtle
- 55:49Beach to Savannah
- 55:51now I really don't think this guy
- 55:55you know
- 55:57is probably the person but
- 56:01that's just so freaking yeah that's kind
- 56:04of far-fetched but he was off today
- 56:08he took his daddy to the doctor
- 56:11what's his name C.B Rowe
- 56:14r-o-w-e yeah and I sent him a message to
- 56:17text me earlier today
- 56:20about the sunflowers and he called me
- 56:22back when I was on the way to my mom's
- 56:25house
- 56:27did you talk to him at that time briefly
- 56:30I was on the phone with a lawyer friend
- 56:32of mine named Chris Wilson from Bamberg
- 56:34so I told him I'd call him back tomorrow
- 56:36see him in the morning
- 56:38when you briefly talked to
- 56:40um Mr Rowe what was his demeanor or
- 56:43attitude or
- 56:49what about the sunflowers and so
- 56:52you know I mean

- 57:03okay
- 57:05do you have his phone number I do
- 57:08you got it with your voice sir I do

- 57:16along pretty well

- 57:24really weird
- 57:26all right
- 57:28um

- 57:44here I know he called me so I'll go to
- 57:47that
- 57:49this is the one where I see the
- 57:51law you're like like him looking at the
- 57:53camera also the last one the phone call
- 57:56is really like
- 57:58throws me off
- 58:03foreign
- 58:04[Music]
- 58:27thank you
- 58:33when did you when did you tell that
- 58:36story to Paul
- 58:38uh sometime last week okay
- 58:46sometime last week
- 58:48um
- 58:50my son Paul actually
- 58:56I mean I really do not
- 59:00think on all honesty that it's him but I
- 59:03know y'all gotta check it out but
- 59:07Paul
- 59:08[Music]
- 59:12was so taken aback bite
- 59:19that he sent I'll find it I got it on my
- 59:22phone he he recorded him saying bits and
- 59:25pieces of it
- 59:40but for all his weirdness I mean I do
- 59:43think they like
- 59:45I mean I got along okay pretty good how
- 59:49long have they been working here I guess
- 59:51about
- 59:52um
- 59:53three or four pay periods so
- 59:57um
- 59:59eight weeks a couple months okay
- 1:00:07[Applause]
- 1:00:09going back to the boat incident
- 1:00:12um
- 1:00:12anybody on that boat
- 1:00:16all right
- 1:00:20really have a hard on for Paul
- 1:00:23that you would think would come after
- 1:00:25him or know of any direct threats from
- 1:00:28people on the boat
- 1:00:29I don't know of any
- 1:00:31direct threats between any of the people
- 1:00:34on the boat specifically but I do think
- 1:00:37there's been a
- 1:00:38small amount of Yip Yap between a couple
- 1:00:42of them but not recently okay
- 1:00:46stuff from people that Paul didn't
- 1:00:48really know okay
- 1:00:51it was some people that he knew
- 1:00:53distantly but
- 1:00:55more times than not when I learned about
- 1:00:58it
- 1:00:58it was somebody that he didn't know
- 1:01:04um it's like for example he went out in
- 1:01:06Charleston a couple months ago came back
- 1:01:08you know he got a black eye and you know
- 1:01:12he can't defend himself right now
- 1:01:13because he has
- 1:01:14these charges so you know he would pause
- 1:01:17a real tough
- 1:01:19man's man you know he would just
- 1:01:25he would defend himself but he hadn't
- 1:01:27been that's right but
- 1:01:33as far as what how was he handling it
- 1:01:36I've never been prouder of him than the
- 1:01:39way he has handled the pressures and the
- 1:01:42adversity
- 1:01:43in that situation I think I've told
- 1:01:46Danny that before
- 1:01:50[Music]
- 1:01:54I mean Paul is a wonderful wonderful
- 1:01:57wonderful kid
- 1:02:00you can do almost anything he gets along
- 1:02:02with almost anybody
- 1:02:08after y'all store any weapons out here
- 1:02:10um we don't store them but they're
- 1:02:14they're you know they're frequently out
- 1:02:16here I need to find out if there were
- 1:02:18any out here because
- 1:02:20I know there was a shotgun there was a
- 1:02:2112 gauge shotgun out here
- 1:02:24uh
- 1:02:26I'll have to find out exactly when that
- 1:02:29was
- 1:02:31think it got put up
- 1:02:33but I'm not positive what is that
- 1:02:35shotgun look like
- 1:02:37uh it was a
- 1:02:40camouflage
- 1:02:42no
- 1:02:46I want to say it was a Benelli or maybe
- 1:02:48a Beretta I can't remember which brand
- 1:02:50it is
- 1:02:58but I don't think it was out here okay
- 1:03:00recently
- 1:03:04but I'm not positive and the shotgun
- 1:03:07that you had when deputies pulled up
- 1:03:09where did that come come from I went to
- 1:03:11the house and I got a gun
- 1:03:14probably overreacting but
- 1:03:17and it was that when you pulled up and
- 1:03:19saw them no I mean I came out and me and
- 1:03:23I called 9-1-1 first
- 1:03:26talked to them for a little while and
- 1:03:28then I told her
- 1:03:31I told her that I was
- 1:03:33that I was going to go to the house okay
- 1:03:35and then I would let authorities know
- 1:03:37when they got here that I had a gun okay
- 1:03:43do you happen to have a list of all your
- 1:03:46guns I can make one I don't have one but
- 1:03:48I can make one okay well I'm just saying
- 1:03:51you know so we could compare if that
- 1:03:52shotgun was out here and now it's
- 1:03:54missing absolutely um trying to figure
- 1:03:56that out I know absolutely and I know

- 1:18:14and he should have stepped in blood
- 1:18:16during the trial that's what they're
- 1:18:18saying like if you got close enough to
- 1:18:20them to try to check their paws if you
- 1:18:22try to move your son over to check his
- 1:18:25pulse and mind you
- 1:18:27um I noticed in this one he said he
- 1:18:29checked his pulse
- 1:18:31but then I think he's also said I tried
- 1:18:34to like I tried to flip him over to
- 1:18:36check his pulse but on this one he also
- 1:18:38said I checked his pulse
- 1:18:41so I don't know here's the thing I know
- 1:18:42everybody I want to give everybody the
- 1:18:44benefit of the doubt because I feel like
- 1:18:45everybody deserves one things are not
- 1:18:47always the way that they seem you can't
- 1:18:48judge a book by its cover when I was
- 1:18:50arrested I looked guilty as Sam looked
- 1:18:53so guilty and I wasn't okay so I want to
- 1:18:55try to you know give that Grace to
- 1:18:58everyone else
- 1:18:59um to say that not everyone acts the
- 1:19:01same when their family members die if I
- 1:19:03walked up on my husband and one of our
- 1:19:06children I I wouldn't even be able to
- 1:19:08talk
- 1:19:09I don't even you know what I'm saying I
- 1:19:11would just be completely
- 1:19:14beside myself
- 1:19:16um the thing that it's the up and down
- 1:19:18for me the up and down like when he got
- 1:19:21that phone call hello and then as soon
- 1:19:24as he's off right back to normal right
- 1:19:25back to normal you know
- 1:19:28um
- 1:19:30the lady did say like he should have
- 1:19:33blood on his hands there was no feet for
- 1:19:36it next to the bodies show him where he
- 1:19:38was over there trying to flip it flip
- 1:19:40fall to check for a pulse there was no
- 1:19:43blood anywhere on him
- 1:19:46so I'm going to try to pause it right
- 1:19:49where you can see his shoes
- 1:19:53like there's always clothes
- 1:19:55okay so there's
- 1:19:58his shoes let's kind of zoom in a little
- 1:20:00bit
- 1:20:09all right so let's see
- 1:20:21so if he was here's the thing they're
- 1:20:23saying if he was the one that did it he
- 1:20:25would have blood all over his shirt
- 1:20:28if he didn't do it but drove up on it
- 1:20:30and really tried to move the body he
- 1:20:32still should have blood on him he should
- 1:20:34have blood on his hands on the bottom of
- 1:20:35his shoes but the problem is he didn't
- 1:20:38have blood on him anywhere
- 1:20:40so it doesn't match with him
- 1:20:42committing the crime or his story I
- 1:20:46think if he did in fact do this if he
- 1:20:49did it
- 1:20:50he probably put on some sort of raincoat
- 1:20:54[Music]
- 1:20:55um
- 1:20:58exactly you're short on that choke
- 1:21:03hit me up on the hip you know what I'm
- 1:21:04saying
- 1:21:06um
- 1:21:10I know every time I saw you when I was
- 1:21:12arrested people like you are arrested
- 1:21:14because people still don't know you know
- 1:21:16um
- 1:21:17so it doesn't match either story like
- 1:21:19for him to do it or for him not to do it
- 1:21:20and just show up and be messing around
- 1:21:22there walking up trying to flip Paul
- 1:21:24over my thing is I think he should have
- 1:21:26been able to physically flip him over
- 1:21:27like I know dead weight is heavy but I
- 1:21:30don't know he looked pretty thick
- 1:21:34how do you have zero blood on you after
- 1:21:35checking them no it doesn't make sense
- 1:21:37exactly so I remember one time I went to
- 1:21:39a mud ride and it was raining uh we
- 1:21:42wasn't expecting it to be raining but it
- 1:21:44started raining so we went to like a
- 1:21:47Walmart in the area and we bought these
- 1:21:48full body raincoats and so you step into
- 1:21:52them like boom
- 1:21:55boom
- 1:21:57shimmy up boom boom and you zip and it
- 1:22:01had a hood right now your face was
- 1:22:03exposed but you could easily get their
- 1:22:06Hunters they my husband used to hunt he
- 1:22:09does it anymore but we still have those
- 1:22:11things that you put all the way over
- 1:22:12your face where the only thing that you
- 1:22:13could see is your eyes
- 1:22:16you have a second so this would
- 1:22:19literally protect his whole body I mean
- 1:22:21your hands broke out your face is
- 1:22:24exposed it covers your feet
- 1:22:26um but he could have gloves you know so
- 1:22:29I think it was something like that if
- 1:22:30you did in fact do it he hurried up ran
- 1:22:33back to the house took it all off went
- 1:22:35and disposed of it when he was on his
- 1:22:36way to his mom's house
- 1:22:38and um
- 1:22:40they say that he did
- 1:22:43a week later show up at his mom's house
- 1:22:46and put a raincoat up somewhere and that
- 1:22:48raincoat did test positive for
- 1:22:51um gunpowder residue that's what the
- 1:22:53prosecution is saying so maybe
- 1:22:56he wore that raincoat that night at some
- 1:22:59time I don't know
- 1:23:01um
- 1:23:02right he would have some blood and I
- 1:23:05don't understand
- 1:23:06if obviously it's going to live yeah
- 1:23:08people why yeah
- 1:23:11um well I've seen people comment about
- 1:23:12that you know
- 1:23:14all of the officers said
- 1:23:16there was no chance they were alive like
- 1:23:19there was a clear hole
- 1:23:22in Maggie's head you could see straight
- 1:23:25through it basically
- 1:23:26um they said that Paul his head was
- 1:23:30exploded like a watermelon and that
- 1:23:32there was brain matter like lay him
- 1:23:34aside his brain was basically laying
- 1:23:36beside him
- 1:23:37um but I I have had a lot of people say
- 1:23:41um but when it's your loved one you just
- 1:23:43want to double check like even if it's
- 1:23:45like completely obvious you're still
- 1:23:46like are they though
- 1:23:48like are they
- 1:23:50um so I could kind of see that maybe
- 1:23:53still just kind of being in a state of
- 1:23:54denial like needing that confirmation
- 1:23:56even though you know it like you know it
- 1:23:58like there's no
- 1:23:59there's no way though
- 1:24:00um so that could kind of I could kind of
- 1:24:02see that
- 1:24:03um
- 1:24:04he would have a motive so he had been
- 1:24:07busted and confronted by his
- 1:24:12um
- 1:24:12Law Firm for embezzling money
- 1:24:15um upwards of like eight million dollars
- 1:24:17so what he would do is he would
- 1:24:18represent people and win them lawsuits
- 1:24:21and then take way more money than he was
- 1:24:24supposed to take like way more than his
- 1:24:26portion of the proceeds from the lawsuit
- 1:24:29um he had a made that like passed away
- 1:24:32that was working for him for my
- 1:24:33understanding and
- 1:24:36he convinced the maid's family to sue
- 1:24:39his insurance
- 1:24:41because she died like on their watch
- 1:24:43like at his house or something I don't
- 1:24:45really really remember I don't know all
- 1:24:47the details I just this is some of the
- 1:24:49information that I know so like they had
- 1:24:50a maid she died at the house I don't
- 1:24:52know if she got on the stairs I don't
- 1:24:53know but he convinced her family to sue
- 1:24:56his insurance
- 1:24:57for a big payout so they did but then
- 1:25:00they never got the payout they won
- 1:25:01obviously you know they got they got to
- 1:25:03be payoff from the insurance company yes
- 1:25:05uh but he kept that he kept the money
- 1:25:08so he had just been busted for that so
- 1:25:11earlier when we were covering the trial
- 1:25:12and someone said even without these
- 1:25:14charges like he's going to jail he's
- 1:25:16looking at 700 years in jail without
- 1:25:18this these charges and someone was like
- 1:25:20what like holy crap really
- 1:25:23um so a lot of people think that he did
- 1:25:24it
- 1:25:25to get their insurance money to try to
- 1:25:28reimburse some of the money that was
- 1:25:29missing the misappropriation of funds or
- 1:25:31whatever try to put that put that money
- 1:25:33back in there and say and it's still at
- 1:25:34say I just it was here whatever
- 1:25:37um also the sympathy that would come
- 1:25:38along with it to be like well we can't
- 1:25:41we can't go with him right now for this
- 1:25:44stuff let's just leave this stuff alone
- 1:25:46because he's dealing with too much as it
- 1:25:47is
- 1:25:48um
- 1:25:50yeah they've exhumed his the maid's body
- 1:25:52from understanding so the
- 1:25:56there's you know a few a few reasons why
- 1:25:58people believe that he did it what's
- 1:26:00crazy is if he did it for this sympathy
- 1:26:03vote
- 1:26:04um and money his dad passed away like
- 1:26:06two or three days later
- 1:26:08on here we hear that his thousand
- 1:26:09hospital his dad passed away like two
- 1:26:11three days later so he could he would
- 1:26:12have got that sympathy vote for people
- 1:26:13would have been like we probably need to
- 1:26:15just leave him alone his dad just died
- 1:26:16and then I'm sure his dad probably left
- 1:26:19him something
- 1:26:22his mom had dementia so I doubt his dad
- 1:26:26would have left
- 1:26:28everything to his mom who wouldn't know
- 1:26:30about how to
- 1:26:32manage it because she had Dementia or
- 1:26:35Alzheimer's
- 1:26:37um so more than it may have went to him
- 1:26:39you know and he might would have had the
- 1:26:41money to kind of either way
- 1:26:44um
- 1:26:45I don't know like Adeline George he him
- 1:26:47doing it but I don't want to just say
- 1:26:49that he did it because I want to try to
- 1:26:52be open-minded to hearing everything
- 1:26:54play out you know and
- 1:26:56um giving him a chance giving it a
- 1:26:58chance just because because you never do
- 1:27:00um but we're gonna go ahead and close
- 1:27:01this one out you guys I'm gonna do a
- 1:27:03recap of what happened at today's trial
- 1:27:04I'm not going to be going live all day
- 1:27:07covering the trial anymore it's too much
- 1:27:09it's too boring right now
