☝️Body Language Secrets & Behavioral Analysis

In this video, we're discussing the bizarre story of Alex Murdaugh and the Unthinkable crime he may have committed.

State of South Carolina v. Richard Alexander Murdaugh is an ongoing American criminal case in the fourteenth circuit of the South Carolina Circuit Court in which Murdaugh is accused of homicide of his wife and their 22-year-old son in June 2021. The trial began on January 25, 2023, with instructions from the judge and opening statements from the prosecution and defense.

The trial of Alex Murdaugh began January 25, 2023, with instructions from the judge and opening statements from the prosecution and defense. Murdaugh was accused of homicide of his wife and their 22-year-old son a year and a half earlier. Local media were calling the trial South Carolina's "trial of the century".

On June 7, 2021, Murdaugh called police from his cell phone at around 10pm, saying he had discovered the bodies of 22-year-old son Paul and 52-year-old wife Maggie near the dog kennels at the family's hunting lodge in Islandton, South Carolina. Both had been shot multiple times and with different weapons. Murdaugh reported that at the time of the killings (around 9pm it was later determined), he had been with his terminally ill father, Randolph III, and mother, who has dementia.

[Clairvoyant]

I was wondering why he was sitting like this. I’ve learned a lot from your show about body language. Thanks ✌🏻

[Zanroff]

What I've learned is never talk to the cops, guilty or innocent. Get a lawyer.

[DutchJoan]

'Create an artificial posture that you can't maintain.' Looking at Murdaugh it feels just as uncomfortable as trying to not roll over in bed because your child or your pet is next to you.

[breakingewes]

This guy really *was* an attorney right? Did he do his job with his eyes closed all those years? He actually starts *rocking* backwards and forwards! 🥴

[nancypiros]

Thank you Greg for showing us this important piece of information! So very well displayed and recognized.

[Jinjerbread]

I was taught that when you cross your arms over your chest like that that you are protecting your gut which means that you’re afraid somethings going to happen to you. And you’re afraid to say anything that might hurt you.

[joanneblack]

I love these small snippets Greg. Even if I hear it in the larger video, focusing on one aspect like this really helps to remember it.💓

[wendylavin]

I totally agree Greg I love when you pull all apart. He doesn't control anything. He is fishing to see what works. Well said Greg 👏 👌

[terrymunoztrujillo]

Having to keep track of 13 lies with 23 more lies is hard for anyone, especially if you just murdered your wife and kid!

[leslieroth]

Obviously, being a lawyer doesn't help when a person is guilty and scared. I watched the entire trial and was shocked and disgusted by his words and behavior.

[maxinewood]

See his face going bright red from 5 minutes ago

[jonnaburnham]

I’ve been watching your videos and they are fascinating! I enjoy all of your different perspectives. I’ve especially been intrigued with the Alex Murdaugh videos and how you can see through his lying even though he’s a professional prosecutor and thinks he can get away with Murder!

[sarahwieland]

This was such a fascinating body language case to follow. Murdaugh is a piece of work.

[jacquelynking]

I always noticed when he was nervous when he rocked. It also struck me, from what I learned here is he always said "I would never "hurt" Maggie" or "I would never "hurt" Paul." Rather than use the word "murder". Alex MurdERERdaugh. Rip Maggie & Paul.💔💔💔

[enigmawyoming]

After watching hours of these guys talking about how guilty people act, I’m certain I can stop off at my local pub on the way home, have a couple of brews, and be able to easily convince my wife I am late getting home because I was only having an affair. That wouldn’t bother her… booze does.
Seriously… I’d love the chance to take a seminar from Chase. He seems like someone I can really relate to. He’s so calm… and in my opinion, more calculated in what he says. He reminds me of a college professor.
Mark, on the other hand, would be a really fun guy to go out on the town with! Might want to have a straight jacket around if he does his flailing arms routine. Mark reminds me of a great guest speaker in a college classroom.
Greg, would frisk me, throw me through a metal detector and polygraph me before he’d believe I was giving him accurate directions to the local diner.
Scott…. well… Scott would be a great neighbor. Or Father-in-Law that I could never lie to about getting a flat tire when his daughter and I were dating. I’d have to learn how to develop a constantly changing, dynamic baseline throughout the years of being his daughter’s husband….. or just never lie about anything EVER.

[virginiatozier]

If my teenager sits like this when I'm looking for answers I know dang well he did it.

[debbiemanzonie]

I noticed he was nodding, rocks, in the courtroom too.

[debbiemanzonie]

I absolutely thought he was giving himself away with that posture.

[ceciliac]

Alex thought he was getting updated information on investigations, not aware of he was being interrogated.

[elizabethbottroff]

I had a neighbor in the '70s that we would now probably say was on the spectrum. As a kid, I knew to notice if she slightly started to rock. It let us know that she was beginning to feel stress. As empathetic kids, we'd stop, figure out what might be upsetting her, and change. I learned at an early age to notice the, "tell, " of rocking. It's protected me from unscrupulous liars over the years. They were unconsciously showing their discomfort in getting caught in a lie.
