I had an iep meeting for my son today. The teacher said she asked the kids if one of them wanted to be the teacher for a bit because she does that to give them confidence. So my kid volunteers. She asks, “Henry, what do you do if you don’t know the meaning of a word?” Henry’s…
Dick Harpootlian looks a little flustered while listening to Alex's second interview with police. Maybe it was when he said, "I did him so bad"???

Home again after a 6-week odyssey to South Carolina! Husband: “So… about the Christmas tree still being up…” Me: “kids are alive. Let’s not sweat the tree.” 😂😂😂
Here’s the second incriminating video introduced in

today. It shows Alex Murdaugh at Moselle just prior to the murders wearing different clothes than the ones he was wearing at the scene. These are the clothes we reported last week are still missing …

Harpootlian's aggressive questioning of Dr. Riemer, who is remaining calm and professional, is difficult to watch. It's going to be a long day.

The testimony of Rogan Gibson is absolutely heartbreaking. I can tell the loss of Paul and Maggie Murdaugh has deeply affected him.

After chasing this lovely gentleman down the street and speaking with him, I can confirm he is actually the Mayor of beautiful Walterboro and not John Grisham as everyone seems to think. It would have been awkward, but he was delightful and got a chuckle out of it.
"I knew he had money. I didn't need those things. The fact that he didn't want me to have them was the reason I was pushing them. I just didn't know why he didn't want me to have them at the time. I do now." Mark Tinsley on 🔥🔥🔥

Chris Wilson is another good reminder of how many lives this case has affected. He is clearly very shaken on the stand while testifying about what used to be one of his best friends.

Creighton Waters: "To understand the reality of what Murdaugh was facing, they have to understand the extent of what is being potentially being exposed. They have to understand why he was doing these things & why he was running out of time."

That being said... the irony of some of these things is killing me.

I have been all up in this Murdaugh case for MONTHS and this is the first time I’ve gotten a sense of who the victims were… thank you
@MandyMatney
and
@ABC2020
for helping show the people affected by this tragedy. 😭
The time a I got a screwdriver from clerk staff and tightened up the podium during a break of defense examination of a witness because the wobbling was driving me crazy. Notice also the Fender Passport PA we used to run sound during the trial. And the screen for the jury.
Every time I see Judge Newman presiding over a trial or hearing, I remain so very impressed at his compassion. He is as engaged in the statements of Fleming's supporters as he was during the victim's statements.
The beginning of the school year is rough for my little guy. Even with all the right supports and accommodations, transitions are difficult for those with autism. Sending all my love to the anxious kids starting school (and their parents). May they find their new routine quickly!

I thought about this all day and wasn’t going to comment, but I guess since I’m still thinking about it, I will. I found this disrespectful and disappointing. Regardless of why the rule is in place, you are a guest in a house of worship. Respect is earned and I’ve always had a…
I have seen a few stories on Trent Lehrkamp in the news that report Trent is autistic. He is not. We clarified that prior to writing any articles. Just want to be sure the information people have is accurate.

@fitsnews
Murdaugh testifies that he never thought anyone involved in the boat wreck had anything to do with killing Maggie and Paul. But he says at this time, he believes that is why they were killed. Waters says, "That's right, random vigilantes. 5'2" vigilantes."

Thank you to my friends for locating the exact moment the wind shifted and the smell of the rotting deer 10 feet away hit my nose.

Just got off the 📞 with our weapons expert, Chad Ayers. He thinks this testimony is the most compelling yet. He told me, "Murdaugh had clean hands and no kneeling mark? He’s checking pulses on Maggie and Paul and has no blood on him." You'll hear more from Chad soon on FITSNews!

If you are a cheerleader & have ever experienced any type of abuse at a gym or anywhere associated w cheerleading, it is NOT Varsity, USASF or USA Cheer's right to decide if you are going to press criminal charges. They DO NOT get to make that decision on behalf of a victim.
Long post: Y’all. I get it. People love drama, but after experiencing the vitriol and hate being spewed, I know how it affects everyone involved. And I mean everyone. I have spent the past two days experiencing the online hatred and it sucks. It affects you mentally and…

My daddy…So proud of this man! He has apparently made quite the impression on people all around the world during this trial. From his demeanor, professionalism, and being a sharp dressed man - everyone loves him and looks for him everyday. He has fan followings everywhere!
Surely there is a programmer/engineer person who can download all of Judge Newman’s audio recordings of his voice and convert it so we can use him as the SIRI voice for our phones.
Unable to put into a tweet the amount of anger and disappointment I experienced while watching this press conference. Let's just say it was substantial. This is not justice. This is a joke.

Actual conversation with my dad who attended the trial… dad: “I was on 20/20!” Me: “I was on Dateline!” Dad: “well at least we were both in the background and not the subject of the episode.”

This one was to set up his extended school year for the summer. Which I told everyone would need to be referred to as “summer camp” because that’s how I’m selling it to him. 😂🤣
I’ll never forget the first week of the trial of Alex Murdaugh. I was very green and felt out of place.
@mmdewittjr
was so kind and gracious to me. I instantly felt so much better and knew I had made a new friend. He is a class act and so talented.
A sweet woman stopped by our RV and gave us handmade stress reliever cushions telling us she knew covering this trial must be hard. It made my day.

This will go on for years. Even if the country loses interest, South Carolinians will not forget. There are so many tentacles that are undiscovered. It doesn't diminish the need for the legal system to be held accountable for the good ole boy way of doing business.
As someone who has seen both sides of this strange war on social media, I’d like to say that this is not normal. I have had to make some sincere apologies in the aftermath because things I were told were the absolute truth, were lies. And please note… I said things. Many of…

Something is getting lost in the cheer story... it's that there are SO MANY wonderful coaches and gym owners out there. They are scared & disheartened. Trying to move forward with grace and dignity. Remember and support the ones that lead by example.
Sources inside the courtroom confirm that Maggie's sister Marion is there today with her husband. Sending prayers because I know how difficult it will be if she takes the stand...

Our culture is collapsing. This alleged teen abduction/ torture incident is pure evil ... and it seems a lot of folks in this Georgia community were more concerned with their own than pursuing justice.

Great work during trial! Wondering: When Blanca testified, she mentioned she helped clean up diesel fuel @ Murdaugh's old Hampton house years ago -- someone tried to burn down? SO much going on, almost forgot about that???
I feel like this time things are different. The attorneys representing these victims are serious about holding everyone accountable and forcing this industry to FINALLY take the steps needed to protect our children.

I see folks on here and fb trying to discredit her. Folks need to research trafficking. She had nothing to gain from coming forward. To share such a trauma takes courage. My hope is she remains safe.
