On good authority, McNeal can report that there is another suspect(s) under investigation. The story of the "baseball bat strike" that killed Stephen Smith cannot stand scrutiny as well as other tales of Buster's purported involvement. Why is the State of South Carolina's Law Enforcement Division (SLED) not announcing any findings of the ongoing investigation of the other suspect(s) that could disprove the assertions against Buster Murdaugh?
Is this to keep the Murdaugh men "in the circle" as they did Alex Murdaugh on that very first night at Moselle? Is this about keeping Buster potentially "in the circle" until Alex Murdaugh's appeals are exhausted and the prosecution is assured that there will be no new trial for Murdaugh? If so, who is making this call? It is rather ruthless to see a man go through this after losing his mother, brother, and now his father, who Buster Murdaugh feels is absolutely innocent in the deaths of his other family members.
If SLED has facts that do not point to Buster, it is time they lay their cards on the table, otherwise the speculation and innuendo will continue to simmer. Using the explanation that if they lay their cards on the table that action might interfere with the ongoing investigation into Stephen Smith's case, is not enough to justify smearing another Murdaugh with the specter of having been involved in a murder.
Where is the fair hearing either of these men should be afforded under our law? Alex Murdaugh was convicted as a result of a less than transparent presentation of evidence by the prosecution. The tone of what was to come in the trial was set when his defense team had to fight and lost the battle over a protective order saying essentially that no other suspect could be introduced, or even suggested, by the defense. If the defense did so then, the state could have called for a mistrial, and there would have been a new murder trial. Murdaugh did not have the financial wherewithal to defend himself yet again.
Like father-like son? In this case SLED should release the information about the suspect(s) in the Stephen Smith case so that Buster Murdaugh can be free of speculation. Sounds scarily like the other suspect suppression in his father's case. More to come. Buster, who came under fire for saying he does not believe his father is guilty in the slaying of his mother, Maggie Murdaugh, or his brother Paul Murdaugh deserves to live a life without being psychologically assaulted when SLED knows there is/are another credible suspect(s) than Buster Murdaugh.
