2. 0:02the timeline that night and when you got
3. 0:04up and you went through
4. 0:07all the things that had would have had
5. 0:10to have occurred to have not been Alec
6. 0:12Murdock I thought that was extraordinary
7. 0:13and I just want to play that for our
8. 0:14viewers
9. 0:15so what you're telling this jury is that
10. 0:18it's a random vigilante
11. 0:20that just happened to know that Paul and
12. 0:22Maggie were both at Mozelle on June 7th
13. 0:25that knew that they would be at the
14. 0:27kennels alone on June the 7th they knew
15. 0:29that you would not be there but only
16. 0:30between the times of 8 49 and 902 that
17. 0:34they show up without a weapon assuming
18. 0:36that they're going to find weapons and
19. 0:37ammunition there that they commit this
20. 0:39crime during that short time window and
21. 0:41then they travel the same exact route
22. 0:43that you do around the same time to
23. 0:45Almeda
24. 0:46that's what you're trying to to tell
25. 0:48this jury
26. 0:49you got a lot of factors in there Mr
27. 0:51Waters all of which I do not agree with
28. 0:54but some of which I do
29. 0:57it's interesting you know obviously that
30. 0:58timeline was very crucial evidence and
31. 1:01uh you know it really tells a story you
32. 1:04know we have to remember
33. 1:06hey everybody crab at Cask with you
34. 1:08today oh good
35. 1:10okay so let's unpack
36. 1:14what Anderson Cooper like Anderson
37. 1:17Cooper but Anderson Cooper and uh
38. 1:19Creighton Waters just said there
39. 1:22Craig said a lot there I remember that
40. 1:24that was a big part of that trial boy he
41. 1:27was going oh
42. 1:28let's break it down
43. 1:30because Alex's response was absolutely
44. 1:33horrific horrible it made me cringe I
45. 1:36was like oh good God it was the worst
46. 1:37possible answer to that
47. 1:40but I have the answer to that
48. 1:42you know I'm not understand I'm not in
49. 1:45the moment
50. 1:47so let's go through it
51. 1:51uh yes they knew Paul was that Moselle
52. 1:54because Paul is as they everybody said a
53. 1:58heavy user of his phone and on June 7th
54. 2:01yes he was just in uh Colombia he was at
55. 2:04the baseball game
56. 2:06um so the house was empty in Moselle
57. 2:09hold on to that nugget
58. 2:11uh June 7th and yes he texted everybody
59. 2:14he snapped everybody I'm going to
60. 2:17Moselle I'm going to Mosa I'm going to
61. 2:20Moselle everybody knew it
62. 2:23why because Paul's at heavy years of his
63. 2:25phone got that from his mom got that
64. 2:28from his dad
65. 2:29uh and yes
66. 2:31they knew that they were going to be
67. 2:32down there because Rogan Gibson had his
68. 2:34dog down there
69. 2:36I mean Rogan gives his known as family
70. 2:37for years friends shot together stayed
71. 2:41at the cabin together played baseball
72. 2:43together and he made over 20 calls to
73. 2:46Paul alone that day about the stupid
74. 2:48dog's tail when in the video you can see
75. 2:51there's nothing wrong with the dog's
76. 2:53tail so yes that and countless others
77. 2:56they all knew that Paul was going to be
78. 2:58at Moselle
79. 3:00and sometime
80. 3:03at the kennels and what people are
81. 3:06uh they do things
82. 3:10all the time the same way it's called a
83. 3:13habit
84. 3:14Paul goes down after dinner they eat
85. 3:17late and they feed the dogs
86. 3:19they knew that
87. 3:21why because they knew that because they
88. 3:24did that
89. 3:25uh the new Alex would not be down there
90. 3:27that's not true
91. 3:29uh those real killers were sitting in
92. 3:32those woods and they were waiting I'm
93. 3:33sure they saw Alec down there and uh
94. 3:36they waited they didn't come out when
95. 3:38Alec was there because Alex normally
96. 3:40carries a gun so you're not going to
97. 3:41come out with a guy who carries a gun
98. 3:43um
99. 3:44so besides they didn't come there to
100. 3:46kill Alec and they didn't come there to
101. 3:48kill Maggie they came there to kill Paul
102. 3:50uh probably because Paul was going to
103. 3:52leverage some information about Stephen
104. 3:53Smith uh to get out of the boat crash
105. 3:57uh and or Mallory one or the other or
106. 4:00both that's why just Paul so they waited
107. 4:04like Hunters do they sit in the woods
108. 4:06and they waited and they waited and
109. 4:07waited
110. 4:08uh see
111. 4:10um came there with no weapons no they
112. 4:12came there with weapons and they came
113. 4:14there with the family weapons because
114. 4:16they stole them
115. 4:18yeah along with murderers they're also
116. 4:21thieves and they stole them when they
117. 4:22stole them I can't tell you but I do
118. 4:24know that the house was empty completely
119. 4:26empty the weekend before uh the murders
120. 4:30the whole family was up in Colombia
121. 4:32watching uh USC baseball
122. 4:36in the playoffs and everybody knew they
123. 4:38were gone
124. 4:38and everybody knows where the guns were
125. 4:41in The Gun Room at Moselle
126. 4:43you can tell me they locked the door yes
127. 4:45they did didn't know where the spare key
128. 4:47was come on man
129. 4:49uh
130. 4:50committed during the short time
131. 4:52yes they had a short time to do it Alec
132. 4:55was down there at about 8 44 he left at
133. 4:588 46 he got back to the house at about 8
134. 5:0048 8 49 and they were killed at 8 50.
135. 5:04yeah
136. 5:05and they sat there and waited after they
137. 5:07killed him with their guns pointed at
138. 5:09Mozelle to see if they saw headlights
139. 5:10coming down no headlights came they went
140. 5:12and got the pickup truck over at swamp
141. 5:14Cross Road
142. 5:15who lives on Swamp Cross Road
143. 5:19I will tell you maybe another video
144. 5:21something very important to themselves
145. 5:23for across the road
146. 5:26and so then they go get the pickup truck
147. 5:29that drive in there's two ways out of
148. 5:31Moselle you can go left to Almeda or
149. 5:34varnville where you go right to Almeda
150. 5:37or varnville but now if you're going
151. 5:39into downtown varnville you're going to
152. 5:42go right but there's only two ways to go
153. 5:44and both ways get you there about the
154. 5:46same time
155. 5:48so you're going to turn right and go to
156. 5:50bar and Bill
157. 5:51I don't know why you know you're going
158. 5:53to go the same route there's only two
159. 5:55ways to go
160. 5:56they had a 50 50 shot
161. 5:59all right and uh yeah travel the same
162. 6:02route because
163. 6:03they had a 50 50 shot I mean come on
164. 6:07come on some of which I agree with
165. 6:10Salvage I don't I like that was the
166. 6:11worst response ever
