WHERE TO WATCH:

[maggiebrooks]

Imagine stealing from the grieving children of your long time housekeeper and child care provider of 20 years of service to your family. What a greedy and heartless human being this man is. These Satterfield boys lost their mama and their house.

[pajamamama]

There's a simmering rage in Alex during this testimony. If he's not convicted and kept in jail, this kid needs to go into Witness Protection.

[MsWaggydog]

There is no end to this man's lies and corruption.

[donmoore]

OMG this guy stole from everyone around him. Imagine finding out from the media that your so-called lawyer reaped over $3m in a settlement for the wrongful death of your mother.

[Flowergirl]

Why isn't Glorias death getting investigated? It's pretty obvious he killed her for insurance money too.

[rheatucker]

I think it's very possible he was the one that caused the housekeepers death.

[claudeabrown]

What a sweet young man, how heartbreaking.

[spicyavo]

I would be terrified of Alex and his family after this-the way he is looking at that young man is enough to send chills up your spine

[missyleighm]

Imagine taking money from the young kids of your dead nanny/housekeeper of 20-some years, that died tragically, as a result of an accident at your home and they trust you because you are their lawyer. 😯

[dalily]

This young man was so brave, Alex is exactly where he belongs.

[lianelindsey]

I hope this guy can still retrieve that money that Alex owes him

[WenchInTheTinfoilHat]

The lady was a second mom to his kids. How many holidays did she miss with her kids to tend his? His over privileged kids. The boys of Gloria had so very little compared to the Murdaughs. My God, this man is twisted selfish and apparently he always was! Gross

[mainelady]

Cant imagine all the other scams noone knows about

[darcyswanson]

this bothered me the most. How DARE he take his monies. This is so wrong as these kids have no recourse.

[inagaddadavidababy]

Defendant doesn’t appear to tremble and rock back and forth when the jury isn’t present. Looks like he’s chewing tobacco with no cares.

[darrell]

I wonder how many more this law firm has ripped off. Go after the entire firm!

[mainelady]

2 million to file insurance papers..disgusting

[blackreptilian]

Alex did kill that housekeeper as well

[momzillainnova]

Is it just me or is he literally staring down this boy and attempting to intimidate him?? Im so nervous for all of these witnesses if he is somehow found not guilty. This is a very dangerous, vindictive and angry man.

[GirlMomma]

I am sorry, but I have just absolutely had it with all of these vile, selfish-beyond-selfish, narcissistic and greedy repulsive men who kill their wives and children over their own precious little happiness in life!! I believe in an eye for an eye. I know many do not and will try to make me see why that is wrong - it would leave the whole world blind; God doesn't say that in the Bible. I do know that, 😔but I feel this strongly. My precious daughter was brutally murdered on August 9th 2015. She was completely robbed of the right to be a grown-up and to experience this world, for as horrible, yet beautiful, as it can be. She had no trial to plead for her to be able to choose to live her life, she had no choice. Her life was stolen from her and I will never see my child again. Ever. And the worst part is that there are millions of parents and people who are hurting from these vile murderers. So I am sorry, I'm not meaning to be mean, but they deserve an eye for an eye on my opinion. Every monster does. You kill someone, you are killed in the same way. You suffer! I know this is so wrong of me, but I can't help it, I pray that God doesn't forgive murderers. If he does, I guess they can go do what they want to do when they're dead, but they don't deserve to live if you ask me. They deserve to be given the exact same death their victims had to frighteningly endure, all alone, without their momma's even with them to comfort them. Alone. 😔 My heart is broken for these precious souls the world lost. Shame on you, you vile man.
