Summary

Alex Murdaugh's cross-examination continued today with the disgraced attorney admitting that he had lied many times. Not only had he lied to investigators and clients but also his loved ones.

Still, he insisted that he was telling the truth about his innocence.

Murdaugh's testimony ended today and Dick Harpootlian, one of Alex Murdaugh’s lawyers, says more witnesses will be called on Monday. The prosecution could call two rebuttal witnesses after that. It's possible the case may be in the jury’s hands by mid-week.
