  1. His face looks like he is inwardly saying "Oh s***" the whole time they are talking about how calls can't really be deleted.

  2. If he had Maggie’s phone and password he could have easily wiped out the same thing he did on his phone. I still think someone else did it and I think he’s a huge POS who did terribly wrong things but not convinced he did anything to Paul and Maggie

  3. Between him being at the scene while stating he wasn't..The clothes he was wearing earlier and never stating he got changed.. Deleted calls.. Why was he left alive.. If not him… WHO?

  4. The defense attorney isn’t helping his case with all that pacing. Any juror who isn’t fighting sleep is probably distracted by it.

  5. This witness speaks in too much technical code vs clean answers not techies can easily understand. Lawyer questioning doesn’t probe to clarify either.

    Does the log record xyz?

    Yes sir anything that connects to THE NETWORK.

    Vs. yes, the log collects all calls.

  6. So 2 Facetime calls still on there the 7th the ight of murders. Prior days calls only ones on there were also Facetime calls. Is no one catching this. Just looks like previous non-facetime calls get deleted. I know my son used to have everything automatically deleted everyday.

  7. He did it. Blew them to pieces to protect his pathetic self. Called a major distraction from his stealing of millions. May KARMA see his truth.

  8. Maggie was living in another home, it was not a happy family like people are saying. She owned real estate and was worth a lot of money. The lawsuits went after Maggie's assets. I think Alex wanted to be attacked not killed to gain sympathy. Alex's brother altered Maggie's will to make him the person in charge of her estate, she had her sister on the will. Paul and Maggie had large insurance policies too. I think Maggie started to find out about stuff before she died.

  9. The hole Alex is falling into deepens every day. I hope he's on suicide watch so he can face Justice

  10. It's ironic, if that's the right word, when Paul using his iPhone to make a video incidentally picked up Alex's voice just minutes before the murders which is the evidence that will put is father away for life.

  11. why do you not show the cross examination. In most of this case the cross reveals so much, that I have doubts he would do this. He is a southern greedy scumbag for stealing money. But I don't get the killing his wife and kid like that… seems like more off a execution type crime. Did he owe money to a loan shark? To a drug dealer? Or maybe one of his victims of theft. This seemed like someone wanting to execute them in a horrific way to cause Alex more harm. What I hate about the Press is they just post the States case and not the Cross, do we can see the BIG HOLES in the states case.

  12. Days before Paul's murder, a lengthy, court-ordered mediation session failed to resolve the civil suit brought by Beach's family, the Charlotte Observer reports.

  13. I often delete texts. I mean, why keep them?
    My older phones always seemed to jam up, so I'd delete calls and texts, and it would free up the phone.

  14. Interesting to me that someone sent him and his buddies a not-so- clean photo of a mostly naked woman (from a meme, perhaps), and though Alex didn't appear to respond to it, nobody in the comment section or in court has asked out loud why his buddy thinks that's okay.

  15. If being proven a liar and cheat PROVES you're a murderer, then there are LOTS of folks out there that better hope nobody they know is ever murdered
