Here it is! My daily update on the Alex Murdaugh Trial! I know y’all are so shocked that here I am again today writing an update on this trial, but here it is! As it progresses, we learn so much and it will never cease to amaze me. In this article, I write about the judge allowing the blue raincoat to be used as evidence. The testimony that the jury got to see from Jeanne Seckinger, the stolen checks, Seckinger’s scandalous relative, why the financial crimes are considered to be evidence, Ronnie Crosby’s testimony, and Megan Fletcher’s testimony, but I may be annoying like usual and break this into two separate articles.
The judge allows the blue raincoat as evidence. This makes total sense. I do not know why it was ever a question if it should or should not be used as evidence within this case. In something as serious as a double homicide, especially within a family, and especially if the person who happened to do this homicide is one of the most well-known lawyers in the area, then I believe all the cards need to be on the table.
Jeanne Seckinger takes the stand again! I love this woman so I am glad that she can go in front of the jury. She describes Alex’s attorney style as “the art of bullshit”. She discussed the time when he accepted a check that was given to him by mistake. They trusted him to do the right thing, but of course, he didn’t. As of late 2020, his behavior began to change. When the murders took place, the missing money became so low on the list of concerns because they knew he was going through so much. Afterward, was when the law firm realized it was him that stole all the money.
The jury receives evidence of all the stolen checks. The law firm had to pay all of it back themselves. If I were the jury, I would have had an absolute field day with this one. I am glad they brought this up because I have been dying to talk about it for a minute. I am so glad that financial crimes were allowed to be discussed in the trial so that they could see what this man was on and that he didn't just kill his family because he was bored or whatever.
Seckinger is related to Russel Latiffe, the man that was stealing money with Alex from Palmetto State Bank. Now, this is so scandalous, but I do not find this shocking. Somehow, it always appears that someone just happens to be someone else’s cousin. I don’t know why to wither but somehow everyone is just related. But, I do believe that Jeanne would put the sake of her job before her family, especially since her relative was already caught being in the mess so it's not like she will expose him for something, we all know what he did.
Jurors are reminded of the importance of financial crimes as evidence. I do not believe that the jury needs a reminder, we all know why this is a necessity in this case, and if you are too stupid to figure out why then that is on you. But, the reason that the defense tried to make financial crimes not allowed as evidence in court was that it was a motive or a potential one.
