Prosecutor Creighton Waters sought to cast doubt on Alex Murdaugh's testimony a day earlier, when he admitted to previously lying about being with his wife and son before they were killed.

After two days on the stand, Alex Murdaugh completed testimony Friday in the murder trial over the killings of his wife and son.

"And you disagree to my characterization that you've got a photographic memory about the details that have to fit now that you know ... these facts but you're fuzzy on the other stuff that complicates that? You disagree with that?" "There was nobody around the dogs didn't know," Murdaugh said. "There was nobody else around for them to sense."

Pressed about various phone calls he made after the killings, Murdaugh insisted that he was not trying to establish an alibi.Murdaugh categorized the calls as "very normal." Several calls were to his wife, Maggie, who had been killed near the dog kennels. Shortly before 4 p.m., Waters concluded his cross examination and Murdaugh's defense attorney, Jim Griffin, began questioning him again after a brief break. Griffin ended questioning shortly after and the court adjourned for the day.
