Good morning, world. Happy Friday and all that comes with that. So far, the day looks much like every other day this week. According to the weather forecast, we might see temperatures around freezing today. Shawshank suggested I go outside and find some spin time.
This morning will be the climax of Alex Murdaugh’s trial. Yesterday, I watched the closing arguments on the TV while I edited Wednesday’s 🔥content on my phone. While I thought it was great, I read criticism over the prosecution’s Powerpoint presentation in their initial closing. Compared to the state, the defense seemed incredibly unprepared in their arguments, with their lawyer flailing printed shit around in front of the jury. The prosecution’s final argument laid everything out and crushed the defense’s theories, and tied up everything in a nice little package. When they were finished, I swapped the TV’s courtroom live stream for Breath of The Wild, and set the laptop up on the foot rest to keep up with VERDICT WATCH.
We didn’t have very long to wait. Shawshank and I were putting dinner on our plates when I started seeing rumors online that a verdict had been reached. We ate our pizza while the court clerk read each of the charges and its accompanying GUILTY verdict. Neither of us thought the jury would return a verdict so quickly. We both believed he was guilty, but we also have the benefit of all sorts of media outside the trial. Everyone will be back in the courtroom this morning for sentencing.
What am I going to do now?
