(2,198 posts)Every layer peeled back in this case shows the insidiousness of good ol' boy networks and the systemic corruption that allows prominent families to wield power over, intimidate, set up and even murder "ordinary" people for their financial gain or to protect their reputations.
Trials like this hold up a necessary mirror to the machinations of a vindictive and psychopathic upper class.

(28,811 posts)The documentary about the Murdaughs and that section of SC called the low country is so revealing. I watched it twice. these people believed they owned everything and for a long time they really did. The culture is fascinating and so foreign to a girl growing up in suburban LA.
even so I think he may very well be acquitted (i do think he's guilty) or get a hung jury.
