Chad Daybell jurors talk about the trial and sentencing

Six jurors sit down and discuss their decision with KTVB.
More details: www.ktvb.com/a...

[@idahardy4052]

The jurors did not condemn this man. He condemned himself by his actions. And oh by the way - the jurors saw everything that no one else saw except LE, the prosecutors, the defense attorney, and the murderer. So it wasn’t “slightly traumatic.” It was horrific.

[@Retried77]

I caught that, too. Just horrific.

[@NorthernStar-hu7he]

You are absolutely correct on every point.

[@felwicked2245]

Exactly 👍

[@pillettadoinswartsh4974]

Right on!!!

[@AREA-jp8vb]

But its good to know they have some sort of feeling about it, It makes me believe they really took everything into consideration and knew that this was a very big decision. regardless of the persons guilt to have the say yes or no to death is a big weight to have to carry. I thank them for their service

[@melissapekarek3283]

To any of the jurors who read this, please know how much we who watched the trial thought of you all and prayed for you at each step. You have my sincere gratitude for doing a job in part of our civilized society that put you face to face with something so uncivilized and unimaginable. May you each in your own ways find comfort, peace and closure. 🕊

[@The_Joy_Finder]

Agree. Thank you for stepping up.

[@MountainmommaWV3]

Agreed

[@kc-lp6wg]

These jurors brought justice to Tammy, Tylee and JJ.

[@victoriousangel8911]

[@lisajeter9511]

Indeed they did!

[@AK80855]

Agree, the prosecution did an exceptional job. Lindsay Blake did a phenomenal job in closing argument. Thank you jurors for your service.

[@nadzach]

He can't complain about his defense lawyer. He really worked hard and did it all by himself. It was hard to listen to him defend the Slug, but he did his best with nothing to work with but an overwhelmingly guilty client.

[@watsonspuzzle]

I have so much respect and admiration for the jurors. They worked extremely hard.

[@judistocker1811]

This was an exceptional jury. My heart is with you as you begin a journey of mental and psychological healing from this horrific, evil man

[@pillettadoinswartsh4974]

The way the state of Idaho fashioned the calculation of the death sentence is supposed to take away that burden on the jury, of Chad being put to death. They simply had to answer a list of questions. They answered those questions honestly. That's the end of their responsibility. The jury didn't sentence Chad to death. Idaho law did. And Idaho law sentenced Chad to death because of HIS actions and intentions.

[@jaynet5756]

Exactly

[@susiepummill9391]

[@KitKatToeBeans]

Something can be traumatic or traumatizing without it causing PTSD. They had warning, & their lives weren’t in jeopardy. Those are factors that cause PTSD. Otherwise every single police officer, paramedic, fireman experiences Complex PTSD every day they work.

[@fraukie1598]

By choice. They could also have chosen to be decent people. If they said at jury selection: "No, I could never lower myself to the same level of Chad Daybell and decide who is worthy of living, I plan to be a better person .. so no thank you." And none of them would have to do that. They ALL where there by choice, some for the fame of a high profile case (a few of those interviews, maybe a book and they will dry their tears just fine with dollar bills). Some of them might jump gladly on this opportunity.. deciding who deserves to live and who is send to be executed without ever having to answer for it in court.. Has to be tempting for quite some people. They are adults and were given a choice. Their own utter disregard for human live, appetite for fame or lust for the power of sending a human to his death brought them here, not some "dark fate they couldn't control".

Don't forget about slugs ( name given by prison guards ) murdered wife and the murdered Father of the children .

[@mostlyvoid.partiallystars]

Media needs to remember that the jury only decided if aggravating factors as explicitly defined were applicable, and were not mitigated. The jury DID NOT sentence anyone. The judge applies that penalty based on the law. I know it’s still heavy with the jury but please make sure to hold media accountable for accuracy in reporting. These reporters did a better job than most.

[@elakay4397]

That cult he created needs to be barred, disbanded, stopped!! after all it was part of Chad's insane reason, to kill those kids and his wife because he thought they were dark. 🙄😞...I hope and pray Chad is NOT allowed to run that from prison with how ever much time he has left.

[@mostlyvoid.partiallystars]

Technically Julie Rowe created it Chad just usurped her ideas and made them worse. It’s bigger than many can fathom unfortunately. Especially in Utah and Idaho.

[@michelecraig9658]

Many of these people are still out and about.

[@KitKatToeBeans]

He created his cult in order to have a basis for killing the people he wanted out of the way. Not the other way around. He wanted to have this fantasy life and was able to find ppl who he could manipulate into believing him. It’s strange that anyone doesn’t understand that. He didn’t kill because he “thought they were dark” he made them dark so he had a reason to kill them. Completely different motive.

[@The_Joy_Finder]

​@@KitKatToeBeansAgree.

[@ishbelharris1857]

@@michelecraig9658 Yes. 'Visions of Glory' which inspired all this nonsense (and which Lori had with her when she was served papers in Hawaii) is a mormon bestseller and still easily available. The LDS church leadership needs to step up and weed out these people, but it won't because the church get too much money from them. The money and power motivation highlighted by the prosecution goes deep into the mormon church.

[@Carolinec222]

He got to this point because everyone around him let do and say whatever he wanted. He isolated Lori and his own family. This loser was very controlling.

[@heidismith3112]

I agree except Lori was the mastermind

Thank you to the jurors. Well done. You did not condemn this man, the evidence did that. By his own actions was he condemned. The jury only had to follow the evidence and the jury instructions given them. They did it all exactly as they should....

Chad did this to himself so no one is to blame but him. God bless you and I pray you have peace moving forward.

[@THE-michaelmyers]

I met two people who sat on Jury's. One in Texas and the other in Georgia. Both were capital cases and both defendants were found guilty, today both sentences have been carried out. I have spoken to both spouses. Both changed over the years. The night Georgia carried out the orders of the Judge this juror had a lot of family and friends around them but still spent many hours talking to their Church Pastor. When it comes to this subject I really wish people would start thinking in terms of these jurors are just more victims of the now-convicted defendant!

Thank You Jurors! You Absolutely did the right thing. This Monster deserves to sit and wonder when his day will be done! I'm sure it might be some time but I'm glad it's on his mind! I've watched since the beginning when the kids went missing and I knew in my heart Chad was the one who killed Tylee@JJ. All because he didn't want Lori's kids around. Also Tammy! Lori is not any better to let this happen I know she helped to dispose of her kids or drugged them. They both will Rot in Prison then move on to Hell.

[@JaneSmith0709]

I sat on a jury in a murder trial and I can say that you really don't know what all goes into it unless or until you're there doing it. It really is a heavy responsibility, and it weighs on your conscience for years.

[@Bozbaby103]

I sat one a less-than-a-day trial for Statutory R. She was sixteen, he was twenty-something. He was dead to rights guilty. That was in the late 90s and it still bothers me when I think about it. I can’t imagine sitting for a M trial and the impact it brings. We can watch these trials all we want, but until the responsibility is put in one’s hands, one just doesn’t know.

[@LifesPeachy321]

I've got to admit, I was terrified wondering what type of people would be on the jury and if they would have the brain power to follow the evidence and turn that evidence into an entire picture of what happened. *Very proud of the jurors!* They've supplied JUSTICE to Tylee, JJ and Tammy!

[@Luluisraging.86]

I can't imagine sitting there every weekday processing what these people saw and heard and on top of that stay impartial, work it out and come to a fair conclusion. I would be so proud if I were any one of them. Chad would not have stopped. He would continue with the people who still follow his beliefs and Im sure, find another "Ray Lamarr" in the bunch to continue his and Loris' blueprint. If you read these comments....to all the jurors sitting there, I would have done the same,,,you all did a phenomenal job and you will find your peace when you realise how many potential lives...of children as well....could still be robbed. I think about others who should still be sitting in prison because their sentence was too short and the many who have reoffended. You did the right thing.

I think the counties need to carry some insurance that can provide more counseling for jurors than just 6 sessions. Imagine if we subjected unwilling people to cancer and told them we’d give them treatment for one hour a week for six weeks as if we were benevolent and after that they were on their own. That’s callous and cruel.

[@Weatheredstorms1]

The jury didn’t condemn this man he did so with his own actions. I know someone else said this but it’s worth repeating. One big take away from the trial is I wonder if his children who clearly lied on the stand will be charged with the crime. She is also a teacher and works in a school. As such she’s supposed to be the protector of children and look what her own father said. He’s an absolute monster and she got up there to defend him. Her voice was difficult to listen to she’s much like her dad. I didn’t listen to his son because their voices make them sound very ignorant. As a teacher you’re a mandated reporter, How can we trust her to protect the children under her care for so many hours a day during the school year. She sends her kids out to play and thinks nothing of living in a murder house.
