This case poses an insurmountable challenge for Chad Daybell's defence. Despite every effort to distance Chad from the acts, the evidence-like damning phone calls and text messages-paints a picture of a man far from innocent. The defence's potential use of subpar expert witnesses due to financial constraints, contrasting with the prosecution's expectedly robust expert testimony will possibly push Daybell to take the stand as a final desperate move, contingent on the trial's trajectory.
Not to mention, Chad was “conveniently” the person who “found Tammi” and was in the room with her when she had her so called “coughing fit” and then said she was “fine” and went back to bed??The problem with Chad’s “story” of what happened is that it’s only according to what HE says happened. Nobody else was there. Only Chad. So who knows if that’s really what happened?? Not to mention all the bs stories of her having “shaking fits” and “seizures”. Seriously?? Who believes that crap? She has NO history of heart issues or pulmonary issues. Only her father had heart problems. Pryor is grasping at straws with him talking about how she took “supplements..?…yet NO mention of how Chad had a new girlfriend in days he paraded around like a trophy. What a bunch of nonsense. And how the daughter claims that Tammi said she felt “out of her body lately” before she died!? Yeah because she was married to a psychopath!!! Unbelievable listening to this stuff.
@@lyndaczika6327 agree! The daughter seems so strange. She is a grown woman but acts way below her age, like she doesn’t understand the seriousness when she talks to Chad while he is handcuffed in the car. Human remains on your father’s ground and all you discuss is financials?!! Hello!!!! Anybody home?!!!
@@jennyraphael5843 Exactly!! The fact ALONE that her mother just suddenly dies, then Chad is married in 12 days and then there are two dead children found on his property!?? How do you even think that your Dad isn’t somehow involved!! I would have been done with him after her started bringing around his new girlfriend within days?? She went to the funeral!? And went on a “family trip” to Knotts Farm! What is wrong with Chad’s kids!! It’s so awful.
Just watched 1.33 hours so far. Isn't it strange that neither Chad or his daughter never ask the he is getting arrested for? its like the both expect him to be away for a long time in prison, all the talk about is finances . If I was innocent I would have been very upset that im being arrested and my daughter probably would have screamed at the police asking what all this is about.
And she's was inn contact with Lori while she was in jail.... Probably going along with her delusions. As fast as I heard all his children are backing him.
Totally agree !!! I also hate that only 1/4 of the screen shows a person at a time. I can't see his reactions at all. 😮💨 It'd be so much better to be able to see his body language throughout this trial. And the witnesses too!

It’s so absurd seeing Chad sit their smitten with himself knowing how much this whole trial cost tax payers and all the people he challenged and made cause to pursue him and his actions. His behavior in everything is disconnected, like so..! So entitled to every evil act he’s done. Self-centered to his rotten core.
Testimony has been already showed that when Chad met Lorie, HE is the one who told her that they belong together per his "visions". He's as guilty as she is if not more so. I don't think Pryor's attempts to blame Lorie and/or Alex will absolve his guilt, but nice try.
According to the defense Chad's attraction to Lori occurred outside his control. If he is captivated enough, one's attraction is absolved. Or maybe it's Lori's fault for being too sexually luring. 😅
Chad has to be the most BOOOORING human being in the planet... wth did any of these people saw in him? I made an effort not to fall asleep listening to him
I think their entire LDS education made them all vulnerable to a s "seemingly" humble human being to be chosen by God to be a prophet...something along the lines of "the meek will inherit the Earth". Most of us read historical scriptures and interpret the words as messages, themes. These people read scriptures as if every word was literal, not a message or guide. So their distorted way of practicing spiritual information made them all targets for any conman that knew how to back up BS with out of context information. As far as the extreme Alex, Lori and their niece Melanie took it, I believe Chad picked up right away that they had mental illness that clearly ran in their family. So Chad hit the jackpot with all his evil. He got a sultry looking religious nut with a Psychotic brother and a Psycho niece. He absolutely knew there was something wrong with Lori but didn't care. He used it to his advantage.
People don’t jump to 50 mph when leaving their driveway if there’s no cars coming. They enter slow then pick up their speed a few miles down the road. It’s not city area there it’s county.
Lori manipulated Tammy’s children. Disgusting to know they support him and her, Emma taking calls from Lori in jail made my stomach turn, if I knew my father had killed my mother, then married another woman 9 days later, then they found dead remains of children in the backyard I would disown that monster…they are truly sick too.
Bottom line is he knew and probably ordered/persuaded their demise. He's the one who marked all the targets as dark! He was the leader..... The professional grave digger. He didn't want to deal with her children. He didn't care about killing his own wife/mother of his children who he had been with the majority of his life. He doesn't care about ppl or life. He had to know about Tammy... He would have had to let Alex in the house if he was sleeping next to his wife...
Felt so bad listening to his daughter at the car she so cannot even comprehend that he's involved and she's so polite to tge police while sobbing ! Not only did he take the life's of their mum jj and Tylee but he's taken away their parent from his own children too and effected so so many people in the process 😢
While I am very thankful that the audio and visual is better than the first couple of days it would be VERY helpful if the cameras were focussed more closely on relevant speakers and Chad. The vision is too wide/broad.
I find this defence attorney to be very condescending towards the witnesses. He's also always getting ahead of the judge. Love that the judge calls him on it, every time.
He’s doing it intentionally to suggest it was a disrespectful, unnecessary thing of the prosecution to do. I very much dislike Prior, but he’s not an idiot and is (mostly) intentionally choosing his words
The fact Chad and his daughter only spoke about finances is strange. Not “what’s going on?” “why will you be gone a long time?” Or any way I’d act. If I was innocent, I would be asking why I’m being arrested and telling my loved one I didn’t do anything and to figure out what was going on. He was so calm and chill and it makes me wonder what all his kids know or because how do you believe he is innocent when the children were in HIS BACKYARD. Who burned and dismembered her? Who put all the duct tape on JJ? I have so many questions and he’s just acting like it’s not a big deal. Like they were nothing because you can’t put it all on Lori and Alex.
Stranger is that we hear Emma say that she's actually spoken to Lori while she was already in jail!! Not only did her father immediately marry another woman, but that woman is supposedly hiding her children, had a husband murdered by her brother, her brother is now dead and cadaver dogs have already been to the house!!! But Emma was not only talking to Lori but was going to be putting money in her Commissary bank for her personal desires in jail!! Did Emma even remember she had a mother at all????!!!! The monumental disregard and disrespect for her mother's memory is astonishing to the point of hypnotic...was her freaking memory wiped clean of Tammy? Disgusting. I think SHE should be excommunicated from their church!!!
I completely agree. Wonder if he was able to better see the picture of his deceased wife lying in her casket?? Most likely didn’t even phase him if so, I’m sure he’s still dreaming about his sexual escapades with his blonde “goddess.”He makes me sick.
It frustrates me that they have 4 cameras because I like to read body language and it's hard to see facial expressions with 1/4 of the screen on someone. 😒
I don't know about what you are both seeing but if you want to you can make it so the video takes up all of the screen (on a smartphone) and then 'click' on the word 'zoom' (at the bottom right of the UA-cam channel). THEN, from ThErE you can zoom in on whatever is on the video.
I still think when he was talking to his first wife on the phone and told her he shot a varmit that That was the killing of the kids. Then she either questioned it or saw something and had to go
I just watched Lori's sentencing today. The judge took into account the fact she had a clean record prior to this. And had been a model inmate. And been respectful during her trial. There were also mental health issues mentioned.
A right ruling by judge Boyd. Alex as "Lori's protector" was a role assigned by Chad. The fact that Lori made him "do something about Joe" (and even served time for it) would now make him a perfect tool for Chad and Lori.
I swear ALL Rexburg now seems so bizarre to me (listening to all interviews from the community, relatives...) that I'd have been scared the cops were just as nuts as the ward. THANK GOD THAT WASN'T THE CASE AT ALL.
Prior is surprisingly good as a defense attorney. I still believe he is guilty but I didn’t think I could consider another side at all. Even with all my information, I’ve caught myself questioning a time or two. I mean, he’s guilty still in my opinion, but that’s an incredibly good job as an attorney.
As if stairs or no stairs have anything to do with dead, MASSACRED children or allowing or participating in smothering your wife...absurd. Prior did nothing to make the jury believe Chad had nothing to do with these murders or burials. Nothing at all was offered that could explain 1 but if innocence.
Pryor is growing on me. He is a bit odd but I don’t hate it. It was annoying me in the beginning but he seems like a decent lawyer who’s just trynna work with what he got. He reminds of an old attorney I had back when I was 18 but competent.
Uh, WHy are these people treating that Police Lieutenant as a criminal? If it weren't for the exhumation of the body no one would have known that Tammy Daybell died of Asphyxiation.?
This is the most inefficient case I’ve watched. They only work 7 hours a day with a 30 minute morning and afternoon break and at lease an hour and 10 for lunch. So they get 4 hours of testimony every day with side bars. Such a waste of tax dollars.
Agreed. I'm actually listening to the trial again and would have liked to hear the defense but ridiculous objections like, "he didn't take the picture or he doesn't know the name of the photographer" are so stupid I feel embassment with everything Prior asks.
Anyone else feel that the last detective/Lieutenant is sort of incompetent. Not trying to be mean but I would be extremely worried if he was on my case.
Thank goodness the audio is better and so is the quality of the picture itself... Thank you to whoever got it fixed
Ohhh! Thanks to whoever managed to get the audio/visuals sorted

The storm 😂😂😂 ⛈️
🤢 😂
Listening to Loris schoolgirl voice over phone was enough to make me heave
The sight of him makes me sick !!!
Same here. He has no reaction to seeing his wife’s medical records, body being exhumed!?? Doesn’t shed ONE tear. He is a demon.

How are they not more emotional after police finding a body on the property???
Would be better if the camera was more focused/closer on the faces as for people who may be hard of hearing and/or sight loss . Cheers

I was shocked by her reaction and to the fact that she talks to Lori. No loyalty to her dead mother at all...
It’s absolutely shocking. Makes you wonder what is even going on in that family!
Who takes food and bananas from their daughters house to their lawyers office? 😂
Better view, applause
He's an effin robot. Devoid of any emotion when the photos of Tammy's exhumation were shown.
Blood doesn’t run to two places at once on this dotes body, he is so infatuated with the ‘goddess’ blood only running to the Storm depot😅
And his children still support him!!? That is what I cannot believe!
The bottom line was is that Chad knew those children were missing and he did not open up his mouth once
Bottom line is he knew and probably ordered/persuaded their demise. He's the one who marked all the targets as dark! He was the leader..... The professional grave digger. He didn't want to deal with her children. He didn't care about killing his own wife/mother of his children who he had been with the majority of his life. He doesn't care about ppl or life.

Prior is helping the prosecution 😂
Felt so bad listening to his daughter at the car she so cannot even comprehend that he's involved and she's so polite to tge police while sobbing ! Not only did he take the life's of their mum jj and Tylee but he's taken away their parent from his own children too and effected so so many people in the process 😢
The only reason they are ALIVE, is because there is NO insurance on their lives.
Yep , I can't believe people being horrible about his children he's clearly highly manipulative, they are just more victims of his abuse 😢
While I am very thankful that the audio and visual is better than the first couple of days it would be VERY helpful if the cameras were focussed more closely on relevant speakers and Chad. The vision is too wide/broad.
I find this defence attorney to be very condescending towards the witnesses. He's also always getting ahead of the judge. Love that the judge calls him on it, every time.
Plz , I hope the prosecutor tells the text that Chad sent to Lori “ Give them a reason to scream “ 😮
Omg really? I didn't know about that
Defense attorney is so crude. Instead of using the word 'exhume' he says 'dig'
He’s doing it intentionally to suggest it was a disrespectful, unnecessary thing of the prosecution to do. I very much dislike Prior, but he’s not an idiot and is (mostly) intentionally choosing his words
Right?! But lord I should have counted how many time I heard him say “modus operandi” in the beginning 😂. He’s definitely got his priorities straight.
Defense attorney isn’t helping Chad with his constant objections. I think it makes him look even more guilty!
Good!!!!
What's Pryor's freaking problem with microphones and not waiting with the objections???
@@SkoomaCatRight?! So annoying! Be a professional!

I’ll check back when he’s under the prison cell.
Apparently just act stupid.. “I don’t remember…” Seems to be the way to slither. And to claim GOD allowed this.
I hate that people use God as an excuse. God had nothing to do with this, I see satan
3 month trial expected ... Alot of evidence very damaging so far ..
Why does Chad need a laptop? I feel like he's sitting there emailing his kids and doing all kinds of stuff he can't do in jail.
I completely agree. Wonder if he was able to better see the picture of his deceased wife lying in her casket?? Most likely didn’t even phase him if so, I’m sure he’s still dreaming about his sexual escapades with his blonde “goddess.”He makes me sick.
It frustrates me that they have 4 cameras because I like to read body language and it's hard to see facial expressions with 1/4 of the screen on someone. 😒
I agree. Although better than the first few days would much prefer closer shots. Can’t see the need for such wide shots.
I don't know about what you are both seeing but if you want to you can make it so the video takes up all of the screen (on a smartphone) and then 'click' on the word 'zoom' (at the bottom right of the UA-cam channel). THEN, from ThErE you can zoom in on whatever is on the video.
I wonder who got tossed out of the Courtroom....😮
I still think when he was talking to his first wife on the phone and told her he shot a varmit that That was the killing of the kids. Then she either questioned it or saw something and had to go
No, it was most likely in case neighbors asked her what was going on, since obviously Chad was back there digging. It was his “cover”.
no emotion, nor any looking away, from Chin, when they show Tammy's body on the screen.
Absolutely sickening.
So I must have missed why Chad is up for death penalty but Lori was not?
Certain errors by the prosecution caused the non death penalty for Lori
Late to the game. You gotta go back to lori’s trial 🙂
I just watched Lori's sentencing today. The judge took into account the fact she had a clean record prior to this. And had been a model inmate. And been respectful during her trial. There were also mental health issues mentioned.
3:22:00 Prior tries to have his “aha!” moment. Awks…
Can the camera on the prosecution speaker podium be panned in? No need to show the entire team.
A right ruling by judge Boyd. Alex as "Lori's protector" was a role assigned by Chad. The fact that Lori made him "do something about Joe" (and even served time for it) would now make him a perfect tool for Chad and Lori.

This is the most inefficient case I’ve watched. They only work 7 hours a day with a 30 minute morning and afternoon break and at lease an hour and 10 for lunch. So they get 4 hours of testimony every day with side bars. Such a waste of tax dollars.
