MR. MURDAUGH’S RECIPE: SIFT AND STIR SLOWLY

by Earl J Wilcox




Up close, Alex’s savoir faire

Kicks in—winsome smile, hair

To die for, smart sentence syntax, 

Precise mixture of faux nasal drip

And eye moisture to churn a jury,

Capture the AI red bulb of a robotic

Camera feed for TV’s ripe audience.

Two Kleenex tissues, Perry Mason

plot to sway one juror’s heart.

 

 

Earl Wilcox writes from South Carolina, where Mr. Murdaugh is on trial. The news from the low country is riveting.
