Creighton waters looks to me like a person who bullies others. He relies on bullying rather than facts to try and make a point.

he seems to have a very similar background, father and family in the same field, bet he had a few things in his closet also and yes a few news outlets are agreeing with Sandra and other people. Alex stealing had nothing to do with the murders. He was trying to show he is questionable in his character which yes Drugs do do that to people and not to be trusted, but yes there was plenty reasonable doubt in that trial and will wait for Alex to appeal. And the thing is people with that amount of money do not live a normal day in, day out lifestyle as you do, they think different, and just like the people in Hollywood, their lifestyle is on a whole other level. The thing that has you defending the prosecutor is the fact that jealousy drives people to hate others and they need to feel empowered to jump on a bandwagon and blame this person.

His facts put Murdaugh away for life. He does his job without having to be a bully. Do your research.

LOL…you obviously are not educated and don’t understand the judicial process. There was plenty of strong circumstantial evidence brought forth which IS evidence. His drug use and financial/embezzlement crimes and history of lying had to be brought in because it correlated to motive and possible eruption of anger and desperation. Mr. Waters did an amazing job and you clearly are not able to differentiate between “bullying” and providing arguments and evidence for the State. It’s a good thing you were not on the jury because critical thinking skills and logic/reason have to be applied.

i luv how everyone is debating about the trial but not about how Waters covered up several murders. His son killed his gay lover, covered up by daddy, his other son killed a girl in a boat accident, not prosecuted, and he himself killed his housekeeper and then got a few millions from the housekeeper’s family. that man is certainly competent enough to put someone away for life and not at all an actual dangerous risk to others while being in that position of power(sarcasm).

Are you really this stupid, Sandra? He followed the facts. No judge would allow bullying in the courtroom.

This guy and his team ROCKED the Murdaugh dynasty- one of privilege and obvious corruption. Now go get Alex for the murders of the innocent housekeeper and the young man they found in the street.
Congratulations Mr Waters!!
