This is going to be part two of what all happened on 2/2 and 2/3 in the Alex Murdaugh Trial, the trial that is happening that includes a famous lawyer who shot his son and wife. This trial gets increasingly interesting the deeper we get into it.
Jan Malinowski takes the stand, she is the CEO and President of Palmetto State Bank, and she was hired when Russell Lafitte was caught con fraud charges for work he did with Alex Murdaugh. In a board meeting, it was seen that Alex owed over $4 million to the bank and that Laffite sent him $400k with no documentation of a loan. On the day of the murders, only on one account was Alex in debt to the bank, but let it be known it was hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Tony Satterfield was next to take the stand, he is the son of Gloria, the housekeeper who passed after falling in the home of the Murdaughs. He never received the money (100k a month) that he was to receive in a lawsuit. Anything involving Tony, in my opinion, is very sad. Not only did he lose his mother, which is hard enough for anyone. But, anything that was promised to him by the Murdaughs, he never received. This enough would be the case, I would believe, and I also hope that Alex has to pay him somehow.
Carson Burney, who is a forensic accountant, was next to take the stand. There were three checks deposited into the fake Forge accounts which went into Murduagh’s accounts. Some of the money owed to the Satterfield family was in these accounts. Now, this is interesting in my opinion that there is a way to track this, I had never seen this before but I am so glad that I did because it was rather interesting. But, to know that at least some of the money that was owed to Tony is somewhere, for me, is a hidden blessing because I would assume that would mean at some point he gets some form of payback.
Thomas Darnell was next to take the stand, he is a fingerprint examiner. No DNA was found on the case, shells, or gun. This to me was weird. I understand that there is very rarely evidence on the case due to weather conditions, and what happens to shells. But, for there to be no evidence on the gun of fingerprints is so weird to me. I think that Alex did a massive cleanup the minute that he killed them because there is no way that everything just disappeared in the way that it did.
Blake Johnson was next to take the stand. He collected fingerprints from others involved in the case like CB Murdaugh, and Connor Cook. I think it is very interesting that they had so many different people take samples for this. I do not know too much about DNA sampling, but I did find it interesting that the next few witnesses that took the stand all did various DNA samples from different people, but they had several different people collecting the DNA. This is probably incredibly common and I just had no idea, but I did find it interesting.
