Do you notice anything unusual? Let me explain:
Because it seems I didn't make it completely clear. The "brown" shoes are the shoes they allegedly took off of Paul after he died. The "white" shoes are the shoes Paul is wearing in the kennel video. The prosecution claimed the kennel video was made 5 minutes before he died. If so, how can he be wearing different shoes 5 minutes later, assuming the shoes are, in fact, different? A mistake would have to have been made somewhere. We hear Paul calling Cash's name and trying to grab his tail, but there's nothing else to give us a clue as to the date, time or purpose.
We know Paul was concerned about Cash's tail. Is it possible that he attempted to make this video earlier but was unsuccessful, which is why Rogan informed him how to get the shot when he tried again later? Actually, in this video, Cash's tail looks just fine. Does he just stop before he gets the footage he wants? He never even mentions it, like, "Hey, man, right over here was what I was talking about," or, "Darn it, he's not going to let me get a good shot of it." If he was that concerned about Cash's tail being injured, why would he keep pulling him by it? There are better ways to get control of a dog. There might be a reasonable explanation. I just don't know. I simply see something that appears odd to me.
This video wasn't extracted until nearly a year later, and so many mistakes were made in this case that I do question whether we can just accept the time the prosecution gave us. If we do, we have to believe that Alex Murdaugh lured his family to Moselle that night to murder them. He lured them to the kennels to murder them. Everything was well planned, but before he could get around to executing his family, he just had to stop and get that darned chicken? He just had to put the chicken up first? He had to stop and round up the dogs? They'd be no threat to him.
Or was the video actually taken at a different time? Maybe it was even a different day, a day when Paul was wearing white sneakers.
"But Alex Murdaugh got up on the stand and admitted he was there." Despite what some people would like to believe, Alex Murdaugh is a very competent attorney. Alex Murdaugh had listened to a parade of people place him at the kennels, supposedly just before the murders. Maybe the defense just accepted the prosecution's data, and AM appears to be a man who can't remember what he had for breakfast 2 hours ago. All of his times were considerably off, even when they were completely inconsequential. His memory of pretty much everything is spotty to hazy. It's probable that after being told so many times, he came to believe they must be right, or he was still fairly certain that HE was right but knew how the jury would see it, and he arrogantly thought he could get on the stand and plug up that hole. Everyone hates the police these days, right? Surely, they'd understand why he might lie about being there. Which story was actually the lie, though?
I'm not saying, "There's a giant conspiracy here!! Something must be done!!" I was just looking at the video, and the bright white of his shoes caught my attention. I chalked it up to a trick of the camera or light. That's not unusual. Then, I started to compare. To me and the few people I showed side-by-side pictures to, the details of those shoes appeared considerably different, so I sought more opinions and more information. Now, you can judge for yourself. All I ask is that everyone be calm and respectful. It's just a question.
