I finally know the definition of what "salt of the earth" means. Without men like this witness, men like Alex could not exist. So impressive how he recalls every little detail and you do not even think to question his recollection. Another impressive witness, period, not in favour of either side, just telling the truth.
@@angiemc7945I agree. However I feel the kind goodness of Maggie is being lost in Alex’s mess!! The living son and his father’s phone calls don’t even mention the loss of a mom and wife. He talks on about his self, moving his money around or his son’s law school possibilities. How sad!!!
@@loriross7040 Listen to the 911 call made by Maggie when Gloria Satterfield's fall happened. She's not as nice as she's made out to be. I think it's common that people do not want to speak ill of the deceased, however if we're after the truth... then this needs to be said. May she RIP.
@@lifesabeach8133 wrong, no. It's obvious people demonize Maggie and Paul, and this whole family because of Alex's mess while it's all pure gossip and yes, also lies for money, fame, and media because now all media do programs abt them and people like sheep follow black&white narration while every human is complex&it's never that easy. By all honest accounts, Maggie and Paul were good ppl, not perfect, but good, no one is perfect! I listened to this call and Maggie literally didn't do anything wrong she was just rather annoyed by questions because she wanted to make sure the help is on its way nothing more and she was just nervous like most people would be. there is zero evidence this was smth more than an accident. Now, later Alex ofc used this terrible situation to steal money from the housekeeper's sons and that is a crime and unforgivable, but it was Alex's scheme, and still, to this day, it is financial crime nothing more. If I see any evidence it was different I will believe it was smth sinister and more but now there is absolutely zero to believe this, except gossip and half-truths by people who now earn money, demonizing this whole family. As for Paul, I watched all the documentaries, including Netflix one, and his friends clearly demonize him as well in order to shift the whole blame for the boat accident onto him, while the truth is, all of them were responsible for what happened to Mallory, including Mallory herself, period. There were not little children, they have their own brains and free will, yet they were all terribly drunk and were drinking the whole night. Now, sure - Paul was most drunk and probably drove the boat but this other guy who was next to him suddenly acts all moral and offended on the part of Mallory in the documentary, but he was the one who went with Paul to the bar and drank more with him, after the party!! He may not have been driving the boat, but by going to a bar with Paul and drinking more, he was instrumental in the accident. But he tries to present himself as a victim who did nothing wrong, it's all the fault of this evil and privileged Paul 'boo'. They were all friends with Paul and liked the power and money of the Murdaugh family when this power brought benefits and pleasure to them!!, suddenly, when it is now fashionable to dunk on the Murdaugh family, they were all innocent only Paul was evil. Nonsense. They were all adults and they all got drunk that night and went out in the boat. Paul may have been the most guilty, but they are not innocent - fact. The only really honest friend in this Netflix documentary is this childhood friend of Paul's, Mallory's boyfriend, who yes, blames Paul, but he also honestly blames himself, and although he was very hurt by Mallory's death, he also bravely says in this film that when Paul was not drunk he was a good, warm person, and he didn't deserve to be murdered like this by his own father. And it's true. Paul made mistakes, but he was addicted to alcohol himself, and when you're drunk you're not yourself either, and yes, Paul is a victim of his own father, not only because of the cruel death but also because of his messed up life. It's clear that Alex passed his mistakes and addictions on to his children (the gene for alcohol or drug addiction is in the DNA, it's been proven), spoiled them, and never really showed them a good way in life, as a father should (because it's not about money). Children do not become like this by themselves. Paul and Maggie weren't without fault - I'm not saying that - but no human deserves to be brutally murdered by a loved one. So stop endlessly attacking this whole family. They too are Alex's victims and some of the things about them are absolutely lies and rumors. You have no empathy.
Native SC people can be some of the kindest, authentic people you can meet. I'd pay this guy tomorrow to take care of my dogs out of town and not worry a bit.
To be clear, for anyone who doesn't recognize the southern way. No one is laughing at him. The people are laughing because they appreciate and identify with his honesty. He is a man's man.
SO, YOU have convicted Alex before the trial is over? SMDH, I sure as he/ll hope you never get jury duty cause you would convict based on your itty bitty feelings
you would probably be.one.that.keeps on walking, pretending you saw nothing, so you would not be "dragged into" helping.someone.that.needs help Move to NY you fit right in!!
This outstanding witness would put all these men in suits to shame for his honesty, confidence, and straightforward answers. Cool and unruffled. My utmost respect to him.
This guy was a great witness. What an mpressive memory, very honest, & even had a flair of southern humor. Gotta love this guy. I don't know how helpful he was to either the prosecution or the defense, but it was really refreshing to see & hear his honesty. Wouldn't it be great if all witnesses were this honest and forthright
So proud of the peop!e, I come from. I listen to different trials but, nothing tops good ole Country people! I come from people like this and they are pure as the driven snow. Not perfect, but we were raised simple and with Jesus. It makes for a good soul!
Was thinking about that, too. ☺️ Good country people are all around this old world - every kind of faith, too. And lots of them doing rich folks' bidding to make a living. Fwiw, Alabama chick here - just lived & traveled in other places. Feels like I've met this guy on the stand... and my share of guys like Alex. (Lol ok maybe not quite as evil as Alex.) Hoping justice gets done here. He's laid so many so low.

Alex may have been book smart but he sure wasn't smart any other way even with people as much as he thought he was. Money does not buy class nor does it buy people to lie for you. It seems in this case the more humble the people the better person they are!
@@suzymoroka297 In the police car interview he implied it, yes and that he should get rid of him {as in fire} He may also have said it on the phone conversations from jail also but not sure on those
Yes, Blanca the housekeeper drilled some major holes in this sinking ship 😂. It is now known that Alec summoned both Maggie and Paul to Moselle. Maggie texted Blanca she really didn’t want to go but, Paul’s sick daddy…. Blah blah. Paul was also called to come. That is a massive farm, now that it’s been proven that Alex was with the deceased at the kennels just minutes before they were killed. So, even if he turned around to go back to the house in those few minutes, he should’ve heard the gunshots or have encountered the criminals on their way to the kennels and how did these bandits know that both the deceased would be there at Moselle, specifically at the kennels? Did he set them up to be murdered by calling them to Moselle?
I watched the whole trial from my home in West Australia. I also learnt a lot about the “low country”, it’s people, the culture, the police system & the legal system. SC & WA have similar humours. So fascinating & I want to learn more about the history of South Carolina ❤ 🇺🇸 🇦🇺
There’s a LOT of great history here. If you ever get to visit, Downtown Charleston, SC is beautiful. My family goes way back. The beaches are lovely. However, I want to visit Australia LOL.
@@louferguson7048 Boy howdy, you can't think outside the box can you? You have no idea if someone else used that hose any day of the week at times that Mr. Dale wasn't there. That hose isn't JUST to hose down kennels. Try broadening your thought processes. Alex didn't kill them either
I must say the murdaugh’s had consistently excellent taste in people they surrounded themselves with in their homelife. Too bad they were all so expendable. This testimony breaks my heart more than others. What a beautiful life it should have been….
Dale seems to be an honest, hard working man. They probably didn't pay him half of what he was worth. Mr. Alex couldn't shoot the dog but he had the hired guy do the dirty work and had zero problems hunting and killing all kinds of animals when he wanted. Mr. Alex was capable of anything because he was entitled.
What a wonderful kind honest man. The Murdaughs were so lucky to have been so loved by their dedicated worker's. I'm sure they are still grieving the loss of Maggie and Paul. The amount of deception they must be feeling over all this must be devastating to them. They too have lost a lot including thier livelihood. I love how they all describe Maggie as a person who treated them like normal people who loved everyone especially her animals and family with all her heart. What a Monster to do what was done. So sad
aha … finally we get the heads-up on the unusual “pooling water” at the kennels observed on the ground there on the very night after the murders … did someone wash themselves down but not re-wind the hose in the normal way?
I love how this witness is so precise as to how he wound the hose up every time . No messing about just straight answers and noticed right away someone had messed with the hose just by looking at the photo .
As the saying goes, "The Devil is in the details." For an educated man, A.M. was sloppy and dumb and made those seemingly small mistakes that will be his undoing.
In the video that Paul made of Cash dog, you can hear the water running. Now we know, based on those photos how close the water was, but does it prove or disprove anything? Doubtful.
It's funny how Bubba is living with Blanca now, the ex housekeeper. Why isn't the family dog living with a family member? Especially since Maggie loved him so much! Another example of how out of touch this family is! My dogs are my kids and I have 3 human kids. Lol!!
The hose being placed differently than how Dale left it, the water that remained in that area that would have normally dried up, especially that time of year... could it be Alex washed up after the murders at the dog kennels?
I thought that was the smoking gun. However in the video with his friends dog, the hose was kinked up. That was after Dale left but before the murders🤔
I think Paul and Maggie got there before Alex and one of them sprayed down the kennels. The hose was laying on the ground during the video so whoever killed Maggie and Paul put the hose back up because they wouldn't have had time. I think Jim made a mistake pointing out that water because it put more focus on the hose. No stranger is gonna put the hose up.
I think Marian and her husband, Bart, I believe is his name, are VERY well to do. Her husband is CEO or something like that with a company. Probably compared to the way they live, is why Marian said the Murdaugh’s were “comfortable but wouldn’t consider it lavish” words to that affect. I wonder if Maggie was trying to keep up? However, they had a lavish lifestyle compared to what I’ve always known.
Anyone who's ever done labor with a crew can easilly identify this man a Fox Hole type of person. You would want this man as your partner when doing serious work. Obviously very honest and trustworthy. This is what is referred to as GOOD PEOPLE
It looks like to me her sister is really the most compelling witness to ensure he is found guilty. She said he didn’t seem to worried about finding out who did it. He was more concerned with clearing Paul’s name in the boat crash then finding out who killed them. That to me screams volumes.
@@wendyfarrish3665 Yes. And her last comment when she first took the long pause and then said something like “Alex wasn’t afraid” was creepy and telling. Seemed she was saying he wasn’t afraid during all the deaths because he knew who was responsible (himself).
Sadly 😥 AM is gonna win this case. You can thank the woefully incompetent SLED agents. That BLACK Guy With the muscles, SLED agent body cam footage, should be fired already. He seemed more interested in flexing his steroid muscles instead of gathering evidence
This man paid so much attention to every little detail of his work and took tremendous pride in it. He took care of that place and the animals like it was his. The minute details he recounted about his use and storage of the hose is a prime example. My impression is Alex took him for granted - doesn't sound like Maggie did - but anyone who has worked or cared for a piece of property would give practically anything for someone with this level of dedication and attention to detail
People like him appreciate responsibility and dedication to their jobs. I have known many. They are content in the element and appreciate that they are trusted to handle that responsibility. Wages become secondary. That's how rich people get more and more rich. In this case, fraud and theft was also involved.
That was the recently hired groundskeeper (the man who was responsible for the sunflower field fiasco), not this gentleman. He was cleared as a suspect.
What a beautiful man this man is 🥰…they were very lucky to have him and I think Alex underestimated this man’s integrity, honesty and attention to detail, probably because he had misplaced his own long ago… utterly heartbreaking case, it just didn’t need to happen xx
GREAT observation. I’m surprised that was never brought up, even in closing…unless I’ve missed something. But you’re exactly right! Unless he got rid of it too so he had a “reason” - now I want to know😂 EDIT: I guess closing has to bring to the fore the only evidence or lack of discussed
That was quite an elaborate set up for their dogs. I just have one dog. She's a house pet. Spoiled to death. I'm really impressed that their dogs were so well cared for. They even had their own person. Neither here nor there about the murder but I love dogs. This man is so likeable. The dogs were lucky to have him
Dogs are pack animals why are they caged alone? The two pets they take out together but can't be together. My dogs are close and sleep together. Is it because they are not pets but hunting dogs? Sad to me.
@28:41 the dog beds are on top of the dog kennels in the picture taken after the murders. The grounds keeper says he always put them back down after hosing the floor!! It’s obvious only Alex would know to do that, a random hitman wouldn’t of put the dog beds on top of kennels after washing the area!!!
For all of those calling the hose spoken evidence a slam dunk, the defense lawyer brought in reasonable doubt about the house using the video footage Paul had taken shortly before his death.
I feel bad for these dogs. Maybe my dog is just spoiled but he lives in the house with our family. We take him for walks daily and he sleeps on my son’s bed. I can’t imagine keeping him outdoors in a small kennel everyday - doesn’t sound like they had daily human interaction with the family, other than maybe Grady and Bubba.
My German Shepard is very well taken care of with his health needs, grooming, well fed, large fenced-in yard, and attention. However, he is our guard dog so lives very comfortable outside in his custom made dog house. It rarely gets cold here, but he is brought into the garage when needs.
I wonder if this nice gentleman even knows how Alex referred to him as “an idiot “ and how he needs to fire him but he needs him to clean the kennels in his police interrogation? Who’s the idiot now Alex?
Being an animal in the deep south sucks. (Yes, I'm from there. For all the kindness that's real in many, there's an absolute disconnect when it comes to living things... unless it's Memaw's little Pomeranian.🤦)
@@bamazing2731 Oh I believe it. I have seen how horribly people treat their dogs. Just because their treatment might be 'very good compared to many others ' doesn't justify life in a CAGE
Dale should audition as a voice character for animation studios. I remember, I dozed or wasn’t paying attention, and realized his voice sounded like a Disney character.. Potential career move??🤷🤷♂️
I still can't imagine anyone killing anyone but Maggie sounds like a great human being and treated all her staff with respect. No one deserves to be executed like they were. The house wasn't robbed, nothing was stolen, not even the mass amounts of weapons in that house. Whoever killed M and P was a horrible human being and I hope he is convicted and imprisoned for the rest of their lives. I just hope there's justice for Maggie and Paul. Someone needs to be accountable otherwise there is no " justice".
Whatever the jury decides, the fault of this family's downfall was "the man of their house." He is A selfish, dishonest, WEAK, mean man who harmed his world.
Maggie treated her house staff by calling them “the Mexicans”. She didn’t even bother to learn most of their names. She was not as pure and sweet as everyone has said or thought. Just because a person loves dogs/animals, writes checks to go towards charities, etc. doesn’t make someone a decent individual.
All this time I thought the dogs were barking and howling because they were upset that Maggie and Paul got shot. This guy says as soon as they were fed the quieted down. 😢
These are mostly hunting dogs so the noise of vehicles and guns would not have bothered them. Perhaps having lights on and strangers walking around all night might have bothered them.
I agree, this guy has been viewed millions of times on various channels and I'm guessing one of the most popular and wouldn't be surprised if he is approached in some regard for a role/work!
This guy was great! Didn’t even blink! That’s my story & I’m sticking to it kinda guy! He cracked the ENTIRE court room up with his final statement!👍👏👏👏😂❤️

This guy is just an honest backwoods man. Knows God, country, and family. Awesome dude.
Probably has an higher i.q. than all of us
@@kimberlyelkins4964 oh yeah. Slow and thoughtful. Very direct.
I liked this witness. He never waivered...to the point..best witness thus far. 👍
Excellent witness. Love his voice.
Normal working people .. correct, clear, no BS..they often know their bosses better than the boss thinks
True hardworking ,honest man.What a world we would have if everyone was like him.
Mr. Davis is a straight shooter, bless him!
Ummm, you might want to re-think saying he's a "straight shooter" in this situation.....just sayin', Eh!
What a wonderful kind honest man. The Murdaughs were so lucky to have been so loved by their dedicated worker's. I'm sure they are still grieving the loss of Maggie and Paul. The amount of deception they must be feeling over all this must be devastating to them. They too have lost a lot including thier livelihood. I love how they all describe Maggie as a person who treated them like normal people who loved everyone especially her animals and family with all her heart. What a Monster to do what was done. So sad
😢
Each time this trial introduces me to a person that was in Alex's life, the more I understand, he truly was a rich man.
Perfect summary. Me too. I’m amazed by how many lovely, loyal and honest people in his life. Dude had it made and it wasn’t enough.
True dat, he said Maggie was always "laid back" and her sister said she was happy. Paul was "wild" and hardworking.
@@jenmdawg well said. So sad. It should have been enough, but for some, it’s never enough.
Bet this fellow never imagined where he'd wind up (in a courthouse) from feeding dogs. 💔
haha poor guy.
"Tappy Toes" - what a precious man.
AM was smiling, I think, to show the jury what a nice guy he thinks he is because he gave this stranger a job.
aha … finally we get the heads-up on the unusual “pooling water” at the kennels observed on the ground there on the very night after the murders … did someone wash themselves down but not re-wind the hose in the normal way?
I love how this witness is so precise as to how he wound the hose up every time . No messing about just straight answers and noticed right away someone had messed with the hose just by looking at the photo .
As the saying goes, "The Devil is in the details." For an educated man, A.M. was sloppy and dumb and made those seemingly small mistakes that will be his undoing.
In the video that Paul made of Cash dog, you can hear the water running. Now we know, based on those photos how close the water was, but does it prove or disprove anything? Doubtful.
That’s a solid man.
Labrador dogs are so intelligent and so loving and loyal. You KNOW they miss Maggie and Paul 😭😔😔
This man, a staff member, is a diamond, as is Blanca. What a wonderful life Alex Murdaugh had and went and ruined!
And Miss Shelley. What a beautiful soul ❤
@@Karenanne247 yes! I love Miss Shelley.
Is anyone else surprised that there was a dog named Maggie?
Yes I thght it was a mistake but when he didn't correct it 😬
Yep
Yes! Why would someone would name a dog after themselves?
It's funny how Bubba is living with Blanca now, the ex housekeeper. Why isn't the family dog living with a family member? Especially since Maggie loved him so much! Another example of how out of touch this family is! My dogs are my kids and I have 3 human kids. Lol!!
They're disposable things. They'd keep people in kennels if they could.
@Donna Johnson who has the other dogs Grady and Maggie
The hose being placed differently than how Dale left it, the water that remained in that area that would have normally dried up, especially that time of year... could it be Alex washed up after the murders at the dog kennels?
I thought that was the smoking gun. However in the video with his friends dog, the hose was kinked up. That was after Dale left but before the murders🤔
I think Paul and Maggie got there before Alex and one of them sprayed down the kennels. The hose was laying on the ground during the video so whoever killed Maggie and Paul put the hose back up because they wouldn't have had time. I think Jim made a mistake pointing out that water because it put more focus on the hose. No stranger is gonna put the hose up.
Yea did u hear a female voice ( not Maggie’s) say get out of the water
Did u hear Paul say Buster?
I love how the sister in law says AM’s family didn’t live a lavish life or anything 😂😂😂 clearly she doesn’t understand most people’s idea of lavish
I think Marion’s life was lavish so perhaps that was the comparison.
I think Marian and her husband, Bart, I believe is his name, are VERY well to do. Her husband is CEO or something like that with a company. Probably compared to the way they live, is why Marian said the Murdaugh’s were “comfortable but wouldn’t consider it lavish” words to that affect. I wonder if Maggie was trying to keep up? However, they had a lavish lifestyle compared to what I’ve always known.
D@mn, I didn’t know that somebody messed with that hose afterwards. 😳
Anyone who's ever done labor with a crew can easilly identify this man a Fox Hole type of person. You would want this man as your partner when doing serious work. Obviously very honest and trustworthy. This is what is referred to as GOOD PEOPLE
Honest people working for the dishonest
Always!
Strong statement!
His testimony is crystal clear.
It's easy to be relaxed when you have integrity and tell the truth. Can't go wrong with right.
what a dazzling witness. and he knows exactly what went down.
I saw a glimpse of a smile on Alec’s face when this guy started talking
I did too. 😒 He fake cries one minute and smiling the next.🙄
Yes, I think Alex genuinely liked this guy from smiles that they focused on when taping
I LOVE that AM is going down the river (due to his actions/murders) by the COMMON FOLK who WORKED for him! Beyond apropos!!!!
Poetic justice?
@@suzymoroka297absolutely!
It looks like to me her sister is really the most compelling witness to ensure he is found guilty. She said he didn’t seem to worried about finding out who did it. He was more concerned with clearing Paul’s name in the boat crash then finding out who killed them. That to me screams volumes.
@@wendyfarrish3665 Yes. And her last comment when she first took the long pause and then said something like “Alex wasn’t afraid” was creepy and telling. Seemed she was saying he wasn’t afraid during all the deaths because he knew who was responsible (himself).
Sadly 😥 AM is gonna win this case. You can thank the woefully incompetent SLED agents. That BLACK Guy With the muscles, SLED agent body cam footage, should be fired already. He seemed more interested in flexing his steroid muscles instead of gathering evidence
Love this man’s accent!❤️
Alex smiling like a weirdo, willing the witness to be kind to him, what a fake.
Smiling until he was hearing things he didn’t want to hear.
This man paid so much attention to every little detail of his work and took tremendous pride in it. He took care of that place and the animals like it was his.
The minute details he recounted about his use and storage of the hose is a prime example. My impression is Alex took him for granted - doesn't sound like Maggie did - but anyone who has worked or cared for a piece of property would give practically anything for someone with this level of dedication and attention to detail
People like him appreciate responsibility and dedication to their jobs. I have known many. They are content in the element and appreciate that they are trusted to handle that responsibility. Wages become secondary.
That's how rich people get more and more rich.
In this case, fraud and theft was also involved.
This man is so soothing to listen to. I need him to read me a story at bedtime.zZZZ out like a light,peaceful 💤 ❤😊
This is the guy Alex referred to as an idiot? He most definitely is not. He seems lovely and very focused indeed.
That was the recently hired groundskeeper (the man who was responsible for the sunflower field fiasco), not this gentleman. He was cleared as a suspect.
This guy is the real deal. He’d definitely be someone I’d be proud to know & have over to supper. A solid good MAN!!!
Too bad the dogs can't talk .
From Lovey Dovey...to jail and a grave, how sad.
Love this guy, reminds me of my dad
He's my dad.
Damn. This lawyer asks questions that make sense.
What is his name? Does anyone know?
I love listening to this witness ❤❤ “bubba” “arm-uh-dilla” “tappy toes”
"Tappy"? I thought he said taffy. That's a cute name!
@@VelveteenRabbitinRedFern yeah tappy like dancing when excited.
@@VelveteenRabbitinRedFernYou're right: Taffy. (Alabama here ☺️)
What a beautiful man this man is 🥰…they were very lucky to have him and I think Alex underestimated this man’s integrity, honesty and attention to detail, probably because he had misplaced his own long ago… utterly heartbreaking case, it just didn’t need to happen xx
If Alex had a gun in his car as sister said why did he have to go back in the house after finding wife and son murdered to protect himself?
GREAT observation. I’m surprised that was never brought up, even in closing…unless I’ve missed something. But you’re exactly right! Unless he got rid of it too so he had a “reason” - now I want to know😂
EDIT: I guess closing has to bring to the fore the only evidence or lack of discussed
You can tell this man isn’t afraid of work.
What a nice man.
That explains why the lady that cleaned the bathroom seen the puddle of the water on the floor With the khaki pants
GREAT observation!!
This dude is a good ol boy!
That was quite an elaborate set up for their dogs. I just have one dog. She's a house pet. Spoiled to death. I'm really impressed that their dogs were so well cared for. They even had their own person. Neither here nor there about the murder but I love dogs. This man is so likeable. The dogs were lucky to have him
I feel the opposite they kept these poor creatures caged up.
@@Minnie11chula I hate when animals are caged. What did they do when it was freezing outside?
Dogs are pack animals why are they caged alone? The two pets they take out together but can't be together. My dogs are close and sleep together. Is it because they are not pets but hunting dogs? Sad to me.
They also had A/C in the summer.
The hunting dogs are only fed once a day. How sad.
You gotta love it when someone does their job and does it extremely well. Even taking time to depressurize the hose, that it gets you put in prison.
Alex just did the "hose squirm" almost came off the chair! Noted. Great witness for the State.
@28:41 the dog beds are on top of the dog kennels in the picture taken after the murders. The grounds keeper says he always put them back down after hosing the floor!! It’s obvious only Alex would know to do that, a random hitman wouldn’t of put the dog beds on top of kennels after washing the area!!!
For all of those calling the hose spoken evidence a slam dunk, the defense lawyer brought in reasonable doubt about the house using the video footage Paul had taken shortly before his death.
Dale is well spoken & very committed to his job.
I feel bad for these dogs. Maybe my dog is just spoiled but he lives in the house with our family. We take him for walks daily and he sleeps on my son’s bed.
I can’t imagine keeping him outdoors in a small kennel everyday - doesn’t sound like they had daily human interaction with the family, other than maybe Grady and Bubba.
I know mine too I couldn't sleep at night knowing they were outside
My German Shepard is very well taken care of with his health needs, grooming, well fed, large fenced-in yard, and attention. However, he is our guard dog so lives very comfortable outside in his custom made dog house. It rarely gets cold here, but he is brought into the garage when needs.
I wonder if this nice gentleman even knows how Alex referred to him as “an idiot “ and how he needs to fire him but he needs him to clean the kennels in his police interrogation? Who’s the idiot now Alex?
This guy's the best! Love his accent - reminds me of home.
What a very sad life for those dogs.
Being an animal in the deep south sucks. (Yes, I'm from there. For all the kindness that's real in many, there's an absolute disconnect when it comes to living things... unless it's Memaw's little Pomeranian.🤦)
@@mortalclown3812 100% agree. 22 Years rescue in SC.
@@mortalclown3812 Not all of us country people from the south. My family loves our animals like family and do not keep dogs in kennels.
Those hunting dogs had it very good compared to many others in Sc…believe it!!
Do some research.
@@bamazing2731 Oh I believe it. I have seen how horribly people treat their dogs. Just because their treatment might be 'very good compared to many others ' doesn't justify life in a CAGE
Dale should audition as a voice character for animation studios. I remember, I dozed or wasn’t paying attention, and realized his voice sounded like a Disney character.. Potential career move??🤷🤷♂️
Yes yes yes let's get him out there, he deserves to be honored for honesty, and true honest work...give this man millions, for his "voice " agree 100%
No. Let’s not corrupt his pure soul.
Cool, a real man, tells the truth, and oh l bet there are others that would fly the night away!
Those poor dogs😢
They are going to miss
Maggie, for sure.
Love this guy.
I still can't imagine anyone killing anyone but Maggie sounds like a great human being and treated all her staff with respect. No one deserves to be executed like they were. The house wasn't robbed, nothing was stolen, not even the mass amounts of weapons in that house. Whoever killed M and P was a horrible human being and I hope he is convicted and imprisoned for the rest of their lives. I just hope there's justice for Maggie and Paul. Someone needs to be accountable otherwise there is no " justice".
What a terrible anti-American thing to say.
Whatever the jury decides, the fault of this family's downfall was "the man of their house." He is A selfish, dishonest, WEAK, mean man who harmed his world.
Maggie treated her house staff by calling them “the Mexicans”. She didn’t even bother to learn most of their names. She was not as pure and sweet as everyone has said or thought. Just because a person loves dogs/animals, writes checks to go towards charities, etc. doesn’t make someone a decent individual.
@@sherryrunslate9678 its the widow's pennies that mean the most - not when you do it to perpetuate an image or a fairy tale. 🌹
Clearly, I don't know Maggie.
All this time I thought the dogs were barking and howling because they were upset that Maggie and Paul got shot. This guy says as soon as they were fed the quieted down. 😢
These are mostly hunting dogs so the noise of vehicles and guns would not have bothered them. Perhaps having lights on and strangers walking around all night might have bothered them.
No they used to hunt at night early morning people and guns around so no they wouldn't be distressed they are hunting dogs
Nice guy I spoke with him today 😎
I love Dale!
This man and so many of these witnesseses would be perfectly cast in a movie
I agree, this guy has been viewed millions of times on various channels and I'm guessing one of the most popular and wouldn't be surprised if he is approached in some regard for a role/work!
it's a shame a person has to steal money for people to think you're rich or keep your name and to buy or go places
Tell 45 and fam 🤣
@@mavic2175 💯
I love him. ❤️
This guy was great!
Didn’t even blink!
That’s my story & I’m sticking to it kinda guy!
He cracked the ENTIRE court room up with his final statement!👍👏👏👏😂❤️
This guy is a pretty cool customer, least nervous of all testimonies I've seen
This man's voice, so soothing 🥰
I can tell he actually loved those dogs.
So now we know he used the water hose to spray off any blood
