Alex' biggest weakness is how many genuinely honest people he had around him every day. He's like a tornado passing through a peaceful town.

As a child I grew up with people like him. Hard working, polite and humble. Don't let their folksy speech patterns fool you. They are often very sharp.

A teacher in high school told us once “there is dignity in every single job” i didn’t quite understand it until I realize the importance of taking pride in each job regardless of the duties. Dale displays this.

Criminals always forget about good and honest working people like Dale. Even in Alex Murdaugh’s wildest dreams he could never imagine that the guy who takes care of the dogs would take so much pride in his work that he would roll the water hose up in a way that was so particular that he could look at a picture and say someone used that hose after I did. How? Because there is a kink in the hose and the the sprayer head was not laid down to the ground. He knew where every dog was, which kennel should be empty, and which kennel should have dogs. He knew which dogs were more family pets and which dogs were the working dogs. He knew where the guns were , what kind of guns they were, and the ammo that the family used. He knew which vehicles everyone used to come down to the dog pens. Dale even knew how the angle of the sun in the summer and winter would dry those sidewalks. He could look at pooling water and state without a doubt that something is off. Everything he did had purpose. And over time he learned everything to be known about that area of the land and a lot more. It’s the people like Dale that keep us all honest. In this case Alex absolutely forgot about Dale. And Alex’s defense just couldn’t counter him because he was telling the truth. He didn’t make any overt hyperbolic statements, he just told the truth.

This was the single best witness of the entire trial thus far, doubtful anyone will top him. Straight forward. Not nervous. No fakery. You instantly trusted anything he said because you knew he was telling it like it is. A good man, a rarity these days. Raise your hand if you’d be happy to call him ‘friend.’ 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

I could listen to him talk about the details of his job all day. He takes it seriously. It is not a menial task, but a responsibility for someone’s animals. He respects property and understands the assignment. What a great human.

The genius that goes unnoticed about wonderful people like Dale is how much pride they take in seemingly mundane tasks or chores, there is almost an art-like quality to it, he is actually inspiring.

I live on a farm and I would give my right hand for an employee like this man. This man took his job so seriously and cared for not only the animals but also for those who employed him

The more I watch this trial, the more it’s clear the Murdaugh family have just… uprooted so many good people’s lives. So many good honest people.

Dale is one of those “salt of the Earth” employees that help keep this world turning and on schedule. They take and do their job consistently, diligently - without fanfare - come Hades, high water, or whatever else pops up. Pay him, respect him and buy the supplies he requests and all is very good. And they won’t talk your business either. You can tell by the way he answers the questions posed to him. I so admire Dale and all those in his class and cut from the same bolt of cloth.

I’m an attorney and I can tell you that you underestimate a man like this at your peril…

If every human on earth had this man's demeanor, the world would be a perfect place.

he couldn't remember a dog's name, but he called him Tappy-Toes! Love that!

Alex's worst nightmare: an OCD hose roller. No (alleged) murderer expects that anyone paid any attention to the hose. To the murderer, it was a tool of cleaning, not a yard supply to be maintained or cared for.

This man is somebody I'd like to have as a friend. He shows nothing but respect and responsibility. You can tell he's worked hard his entire life. Glad they got him on the stand, because it helps show how much of a shitbag Alex is.

This is so amazing! Whilst he’s worrying about the hose being proper, his boss is buying opiates for $60,000/weekly. Truly a ridiculous world we live in.

I like this man. He is a hard working man. Just like a lot of us.

Dale was one of the most credible and honest witnesses so far in this trial...God bless him.

This guy was very vital. All those little details of the scene that didn't add up to the normal routine of the day and how objects were misplaced...mannnn people notice that stuff! I'm sure Alex was shitting bricks listening to him on the stand. Props to this guy!

I took care of a 20 stall barn for 11 years. I fed every morning and I could spot something out of place no problem. When you take care of animals your perceptions are spot on

This gentleman, Blanca and the Caregiver for AM's mother seemed very loyal and sincere to this family. It's a shame that their lives have been drawn into this mess. I know they feel hurt and betrayed like many others connected to AM.

He is so matter of fact and straightforward. This seems to be a witness that has no agenda and can be trusted.

This gentleman is particular about how he does things. The hose had kinks, pressure and the nozzle wasn’t down. People in a hurry or people that don’t care about the cost to replace a hose wouldn’t do it correctly, like this gentleman. To some people, cleaning dog kennels is a menial job. This man took pride in his work.

Dale cared more about the dogs than Alex did, his own pets. It seems like Maggie and Dale were the only ones that actually cared about the dogs as pets and not objects.

We need more people like Dale Davis in this world.

I wonder how many times attorneys have to ask witnesses to lean into the microphone before the county invests in a better microphone?

What a guy. Even after the attorney said he could just write the dog’s color, he was still trying to think of Rogen’s dog’s name. He seemed disappointed when he couldn’t remember. He loves and respects animals.

This witness is so down to earth. just did his job and went on with his life. To be dragged into a murder trial is unbelievable. Good people just living their lives and one greedy man upends everything.

Wish there was more men like this guy .. honest and loyal ❤️

This is a credible witness. If only dogs could talk. I wonder where they are now.

This gentlemen was a hoot. He got the whole courtroom to laugh 3 times by being serious! So that means, he’s a trustable guy. Which means he’s a great witness for the jury!

This man is a textbook credible witness! A man of very few words, with meticulous work habits and straight answers with dead- on eye contact!

He speaks the truth.

Everyone needs an uncle like this!!!

Dale is a no nonsense, honest and kind Man...Not many solid, salt of the earth Men on earth anymore... Refreshing to hear his Voice...Best ever....

Dale they don’t make them like you anymore he’s such a gentle guy you’ll tell he’s speaking the truth and he deeply cared for this family & their pets.

I want Dale for my neighbor. I would feel such comfort knowing he was near.

You can tell he was a hard working man who’s honestly just telling the truth. Poor Dale being brought into Alex’s mess.

I live in SC and am blessed to know many men like Dale. They are honest, hard working, straight forward and take pride in their work and a blast to talk to.

I love people like this guy. Honest, humble, hard working and kind.

This was one great witness! Liked him a lot! Hard worker….he was one of the common folk…like most of us! He really loved those dogs you could tell!

I don't mean to make light of this situation, but I really enjoy this man's accent. He sure comes across as incredibly sincere and honest. Excellent cross examination.

What a witness, upfront and honest. He replied with exactly what he knew. I would trust him with anything. Its the little things that make the difference in building a case.

Dale Davis exemplifies the gold standard of doing your work in excellence. It's so rare that it really stands out when you encounter someone doing it. Part of it included stowing the hose in excellence, no kinks in it, sprayer in a certain spot, etc.

I appreciate a good man who knows how to empty and hang a hose. Great witness. I hope he's doing well.

A man of few words, doesn't say more than he needs to.

What a kind soul and dedicated to his work. I had a father who taught us how to roll up a hose. If you take care of it,it will last God bless this man as I am sure it hurt his heart to know The loss of Maggie and Paul. Such a tragic story.

Dale is such an amazing and honest gentleman. God bless him 🙏🏽

This family is surrounded with such good people….. I feel awful that they now have to live with this trauma

This man was so straight forward. Just so truthful Best witness yet. Of course the pathologist was also believable. Smart lady. .

I am just realizing how important this Hose testimony is! 😳

This guy is great - what an honest man. It was so cool to listen to him talk about his work and taking care of those dogs. No nonsense, no drama. I respect how particular he is about that damn hose. Does his job and does it right! Bless those poor dogs having to watch what happened.

Everyone of the people that worked for them had nothing but good to say about this family. You can tell they’re heartbroken. This guy was the best.

Dale is, I think, my favorite dude I've never met. No nonsense, no bullshit.

Such a simple job but this man carried out his duty to the finest degree. Need more of him in the world.

Good honest hardworking man. No nonsense.

This man is as country and as humble as they come. Also, most ppl would have to do their own housekeeping, care for their own pets as opposed to hiring somebody else to do it for them and work for a living, to pay their bills.

My heart goes out to man who always says yes rather than yeah.

That courthouse needs to get a new microphone! NONE of the witnesses have done well with it!

Alex was hard to get hold of cause he was busy hiding money

The fact that the Murdaughs used shock collars and had an electric fence in lieu of paying for adequate obedience training for hunting dogs or a proper fence, and that they had this guy shoot a dog that got injured instead of paying to take the dog to the vet…despite having so much money and being one of the most affluent families in the area…yeah, I’m not shocked that Alex had the capacity to kill. Also not surprised he was so callous towards animals when he treated humans like utter garbage for so long, even people that were close to him for years.

How many of us know someone you could hire to be like this man? Someone who actually cared for his job and taking care of what he was responsible for? I would hire him in a quick minute. People like this working for you are a Blessing and not easy to find. I hope he got a great job where he’s happy and appreciated.

This man is so credible I think he’s a wonderful witness

Miss Maggie , spoken with respect

God, I love this man! He’s so calm and hard-working. He should totally be in movies. He’d be perfect!

Dale was a good witness. Most definitely knew each dog spot and the hose pipe. I believe everything he stated.

Country as cornbread, I could listen to him talk all day! Seems like a good man and would be blessed to call him your friend.

A very good witness. Not nervous and accurate with facts.

Dale is an honest hardworking gentle giant. May God bless him deeply.

Sounds like this family had everything they could want. A kennel, a nice house and even people working for them. I would love to have that lifestyle with dogs and everything

This is just a hard working down to earth country boy.

I love the guy who helped with the dogs. Pure soul

Dale is probably the least nervous of any of the witnesses; no pretense. He seems like such an honest, hard-working and kind man.

I've never heard a more truthful testimony in my life. Hats off to you sir for being obviously honest 👏

It was the hard working, competent "little people" who caught the inconsistencies in the stories told about what had happened...

I feel bad for the dogs they had to have seen and heard it all . They must miss Maggie so sad 😢

Seeing all these people in his life come forward and share their testimony goes to show how many people a single person affects. The choices YOU make alter the lives of all those around you. Dale is the salt of the earth and the others who testified are hurting from what they had to endure. Their humble lives uprooted and put under the public eye. AM is a total shitbag that will rot in prison in the company of other heartless murderers. He doesn't deserve to be amongst such lovely people in that community. Wishing all the best to Dale & the other innocent lives affected by the onslaught of horrific acts bestowed upon them from the Murdaughs! What a toxic family.

I love people like this. My mechanic is like this. Super hard working and knows his job. He’s been working at the shop for over 20 years. If he does anything that’s small. He will tell me don’t worry about it. However, me knowing him and how hard he works for his money, can not walk away with out giving him something.

The figurative nail in the coffin for me is the video. Logically it makes sense they were killed within a minute of that video being filmed, as their phones locked for the last time and Paul never got the chance to send the video to Rogan. And since Alex was heard in the background of that video, he was present at the time of the murders. To argue that he didn’t commit the murders, you’d have to believe one of the following: 1) Alex witnessed it but didn’t get killed himself and didn’t call the police right away. OR 2) Alex left the kennels right before they got killed, and managed to get away in the less than 60 seconds from when the video was taken/they were likely killed, and manage to not hear or see the murders or anything like that. Neither of those scenarios makes much sense to me.

I like how this man speaks, calm and very matter of fact with no ummm ahhhhh, I thinks, well’s or maybes.

I loved this guy. He reminded me of my old uncle the farmer. I laughed when he spoke about the unlikely ability to catch a wild hog by its foot. 😂

Body language definitely speaks volumes with this man!! Definitely confident, not shady!

Mr Davis is the best witness I've ever seen, and I'm a retired Criminal Court Recorder. I could listen to his delicious, deep voice all day. Good for you, Mr. Davis! And, good luck to you, sir.

I am from the UK, this man is a credit to the USA, instantly trust everything he says, down to earth, hard working American, and one of the reasons I like the USA so much, and the sort of people that emerge from such a great system

What’s more appealing than the case itself are the innocent working people around the madness

Tappy toes!!!😂😂😂😂 what a great name for a doooggie!!!🤣🤣

My biggest takeaway was that this is in the middle of June there are puddles of water when the guy said he was there in the morning which should have long been dried up. Secondly, he states that Alex was very particular, it is my thought that Alex washed himself down immediately after doing this. That then he entered his house where he had a shower. But washing himself down with the hose would reduce the amount of particulate that enters his home. Particulate such as blood or gunshot residue.

Hose storage particulars and being creatures of habit. Excellent testimony.

Can’t imagine the fear that went through Maggie in those seconds she realized her husband had murdered her son and was fixing to meet same fate. I shudder to think about it.

Sweet, soft spoken, gentle, kind, All American hard working man. God Bless him.

From a generational New Yorker: This Southern gentleman is my vision of “Southern Folk” Gentle and polite… 45:48

I love this witness!! He's a down home construction guy that will tell it like it is and not worry if he offends anyone. He definitely displays the best definition for "integrity!" Great Job Mr Davis!!

I loved Dale's testimony, no nonsense, straightforward and not one bit nervous. His accent is Southern perfection, almost sounds as if he's from the bayou down in Louisianna.

This man comes to do his job. Praying for this community 🙏

I had only heard a few minutes of Dale's testimony when he referred to the one dog as "Tappy Toes." Even AM smiled at that. He (Dale) obviously feels great affection for that doggo and people that like animals to that level are always good, kind-hearted people.

I love Dale! He is a "real" guy that loved the dogs, Maggie and Paul.

I love this brilliant, careful, clear man. Wow. What courage to come here and speak up. Quiet guts. Much admiration from the left coast, buddy.

I love his comments about his day! " I get a shower and Im in my recliner the rest of the day!". AM was trying to wash off gun powder residue before the police showed up. AM should learn a lesson from watching this interview back that even though he was the one with money that hired this guy it's this guy who was the honest faithful hard-working guy who is still on the outside living life. Just cuz you have money doesn't mean you have morals and ethics. Dale has more morals and ethics than AM has in his big thumb.

Just bcuz Alex didn’t have the heart to shoot a dog doesn’t mean he couldn’t shoot a person. Gimme a break! I know a lot of people who would shoot many a man over a dog.

When they make the Hollywood Blockbuster of this madness, they need this man to star as himself. Get him his own dressing room with a gold star on the door. He’s excellent.
