COURTROOM INSIDER | Prosecutor Lindsey Blake speaks out - and Chad's house is for sale

[@RoxannaTucker-v1r]

I can’t imagine how hard it must have been for Lindsey Blake to have her Dad die during the trial of Lori Vallow and keep her mind on the trial.

[@marciayoung8735]

😢😢 that had to be hard

[@susanna8612]

Right. I would have given up

[@Rhyna-j3u]

Lindsay, no words can describe how phenomenal you are! The world needs more people in the Justice system like you! Thank you for all your hardworking and dedication!

[@colleenuchiyama4916]

Is there an ABA award for outstanding lawyer or outstanding county prosecutors’ office? Lindsey et al. deserve accolades for such diligent work.

[@ChubbyUnicorn]

Thanks so much for letting us meet Lindsey, Rob, Ray, Doug & everyone else!!!

[@bronwyn117]

What an amazing interview! She is an amazing woman and I will never forget her closing argument. It was so clear and laid it out so concisely. She is a hero, as well as her whole team. And Nate, as always, you are such a wonderful interviewer.

[@bamadad53]

Nate is THE definition of “good journalism”. Hey Nate how about putting on a seminar and teaching “frauditors” what being a “journalist” is truly about. They ALL could learn from you sir.

[@smorgan298]

Agree!

Absolutely

What an amazing interview! Thank you Lindsey Blake for being willing to discuss the Daybell case. Thank you, Nate, for being such an amazing journalist and bringing us the news.

That is cheap for a 4 bd home wow

[@domsmom725]

This! 💯👏💕

[@MaybeMable111]

Based on Lindsey's expression when he asked about other people being charged, I wonder if someone will be charged soon! That would be wild!

[@mariahhr]

You never know… Zulema admitted to getting immunity

[@bettychesney4700]

I think it will be one of the Melanie's or Zeuma

[@MaybeMable111]

I don't think it could be Zulema because she has been granted immunity. It'd have to be one of the Melanies, and my bet is on Melani Pawlowski/Beaudroux

[@greenman6141]

@@MaybeMable111 I sure hope so. More horrendous information comes out about her at each trial. I wonder how much MORE will come out in Arizona, regarding the attempt to murder Brandon. He was been clear that the ONLY person who knew his new address - who could have told Alex - was Melani P.

[@suekelley2109]

@@MaybeMable111I heard somewhere Melani P got immunity too. But AZ could go after her for the attempt on Brandon. She was one of the few people who knew his address and really, why would her uncle try to kill him if she wasn’t involved ?

[@leaantzis4786]

I think Lindsey should run for president. She's certainly has a great personality and she's smart as hell

[@michellefregeau321]

Lindsey for President Nate for Vice President

I so sorry that Lindsey’s dad died during Lori’s trial. So sad. ❤️🙏🏻

[@lindaluvwbelk]

Thanks to the gracious Lindsey Blake for answering all your excellent questions about the trials.

[@lazybutterfly]

Has anyone else noticed how no one has been asked about the quote “I don’t know, you own it” - it was a v memorable moment

[@crystalinabacteria3430]

That should be on a T shirt

[@elan007]

Yes, payment for services provided.

[@michellefregeau321]

Loved that moment😂😂 and especially Priors reaction!🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@newportbeachblondie]

That was hilarious!!!

[@rainbowshamrocks]

I think there is an avoidance because it would put others in the awkward position of commenting on Prior in a negative way. During all these interviews you can tell lawyers and cops avoid saying anything negative about lawyers and cops. It’s part of the culture I’ve experienced and mostly it’s a good thing. Avoiding gossip and respect are good. But it also can lead to pink elephants that nobody wants to honestly discuss. Like the way LB went on about what *others* might think about Alex’s death when asked about what *she* thought. It’s har/ goes against norms to question what the Maricopa department concluded.

[@vdemoor9844]

Lindsey, you did a great job. You and your team pulled the story together with all the evidence. Thank you. People like them are dangerous to society.

[@juliet.2472]

Great interview Nate! Thank you Blake for rendering justice for Tylee JJ and Tammy 🙏🏻

[@ChubbyUnicorn]

Mrs. Blake is truly incredible. Just wow. The whole team are extraordinary professionals.

I don’t think the kids will even stay in that town after lying on the stand for their murderer father and the horrible things they said about their mom.

[@Weissguys6]

What an inspiration Lindsey is for young women. Brilliant and beautiful.

[@Weissguys6]

Nate, you have a very unique way of interviewing that really puts yourself in the backseat and allows us to truly “meet” the individual through our own eyes. Thank you.

[@elsedutch4972]

I AGREE !! As I already stated in the comments: he is a great listener!

[@mandystone3005]

I Told hubby , watch as John Prior walks out the court after the defeat he walks straight into the realtors office to sell that horror house because he doesnt need the kids to lie for Chad anymore. now its payday baby!

[@susanmartyn1382]

I think the house will sell, but it may take quite awhile.

I have watched both trials with you Nateand I have always been so impressed with Lindsey Blake. What a boss!

[@leaantzis4786]

Would have been quite a spectacular cross examination to see. Lindsey asking Chad questions. He chickened out because his manhood couldn't accept a woman in a power position

[@rhondaallen3617]

Lindsey is as impressive, articulate, humble and professional outside of court as she was in the trial!!! Lindsey for President!!!!!

[@nancyadamson1184]

Lindsey was a powerhouse throughout both trials! I loved watching her in court! She's amazing! She was quick and precise in every way. Thank you so much for all of the sacrifices you did to bring justice for these victims Lindsey! Nate thanks for all you do to keep us informed. Great interview!

[@Luvscience069]

Soooo, the whole shenanigans about stairs and a bedroom upstairs in the courtroom were unecessary! What a dump house. Someone should buy it, tear it down and build a memorial park on it.

[@marciayoung8735]

I wonder what it says in the realtor's list, one story or two story 😂

[@ThatDuckieMoment]

You know I'm not sure it was unnecessary. I understand what you mean though, but it did give us the possibility of chad sleeping separately from Tammy and a possible explanation of how Alex got into the house unseen.

[@marygoff3332]

​@@marciayoung8735if you have the address, you can pull it up and check. 😊

[@shondag8971]

Lindsey Blake is an absolute legend. Thank you for being a bringer of justice for these families and victims. ❤

[@LeighAnnRoberts-fd6lp]

No, I would not buy Chad's house. I don't believe anyone who knows what happened at the house would buy it. I'm guessing Emma isn't going to buy it. If so, John Prior would not have listed it, in my opinion. You have done great work in the Daybell case. I have followed you since the kids were missing. You have done an amazing job keeping everyone informed on what was happening. Job well done, Nate!

[@blisardsnow]

Rock Star Blake 🤩🤩. Thank you! Idaho is very proud!

[@CaliScanlon]

We need more Lindsey Blakes in this world! Great interview!!

[@gbear768]

my gosh, Lindsay is a champion! Losing her father during Lori's trial, and then a new born during Chads--wow! that's a lot. What a great job she and her team did!

[@JaneD-fm8uc]

I think it should be a memorial site (Park)for JJ ,Tylee and Tammy,

[@adventuresphere7036]

We had Jacob Wetterling (11) missing in MN for decades. When it came out who SA and murdered him, the murderers home was purchased and nearly immediately bulldozed.

[@lunaavalon4088]

She is a great prosecutor. Intelligent and so much charisma ❤👏👏👏👏👍

[@Kpotter8390]

We knew the sale was coming. The home was collateral until the trial was over and a final dollar amount could be determined for legal services. Now he needs to sell to collect on that.

[@valerieanderson8796]

I don't think they give you enough credit for all you Do! Thanks! Nate

[@terripetre8159]

Lindsey, Your preparation for trial was incredible and appreciated ! Thank you for doing your job to the fullest!

Amazing interview! WE LOVE YOU, LINDSEY!

[@ladybuglady4380]

As far as the house selling I feel it will be a struggle and I expect for a lower price. One thing I cannot get over is the fact that not all of Tylee was found so my concern is that property is a burial ground. I would want that property completely searched and properly place any remains. I would absolutely turn it into a memorial to honor the victims.

[@donnab6759]

I have so much respect for Lindsey Blake. This is the interview I was waiting for, thanks, Nate!

Lindsey is an amazing attorney and women. You can tell she puts her heart and soul into her work. Thank you Lindsey for your hard work and dedication on this case! Thanks also to her office and her staff and their hard work as. Hopefully she’ll get more family time. I can’t imagine having a baby in the middle of all of this. ❤️❤️

[@donnachampion3169]

Thankyou so much Nate for giving us the opportunity to hear Lindsay explain the process and her own thoughts ❤

[@jeanie8831]

I'll bet parents of the Idaho four are livid. Ridiculous. Thank you, Nate!

[@cynthiaroark1778]

Prior needs to be able to sell the house and receive payment. He didn’t want to defend Chad and was mandated to do so. He gave it his best and someone had to do it. No one should have to live on that property. It is stigmatized. The state or county should purchase it and put up a memorial park. The Daybell family should not be allowed to remain there. It’s emotionally damaging to Emma’s children, playing where their grandfather slaughtered children and their own grandmother.

[@mechjean]

He wanted to. If he hadn't he could have admitted he was not experienced enough and left the case when it became a Capitol case. But he refused and had no problem with it until Chad ran out of money and he couldn't find any other attorneys to join the case. Even then he didn't really want to leave the case, he was just pulling a stunt.

[@getmesomefries]

Prior said he wanted to pull out of the trial only as a way of forcing the court to take the death penalty off the table...or that is what it seemed.

[@kimsmith5083]

He was not mandated to be his lawyer. He was retained by Chad and was given his house for the rest of his payment

[@michelecraig9658]

She was a rock star during the Daybell trial: clear, concise, to the point, and kept her tone even and polite even when witnesses said outrageous things. My hero.

[@kymkirk1598]

So fantastic!! Thank you Nate and Lindsey for taking the time to share! I also come from Idaho with my parents being Potato farmers! Loved our farming childhood!

[@bean6157]

I feel like for how hard they work, these prosecutors and public defenders probably do not get paid enough!

[@lynnetanner1369]

They are worth their weight in gold!!!!

[@loveforeignaccents]

Of course they don't. Didn't you see their hourly rate when they had to turn that over to get reimbursed from that attorney who claimed he was Chad's and faxed over his documents to the court on Good Friday close to midnight??

[@saimaleon7115]

Was it listed as a single story or two story?

[@Piperdaisy23]

Great interview! Lindsey is an excellent prosecutor!

[@sbaumgartner9848]

This was an excellent interview. Nate, you do an excellent job of asking questions. You really know your topics and you are an excellent journalist. Lindsey, you are a highly skilled prosecutor. I am very impressed with how you formed such a tight working team. I don't know how you managed to do this while also being a wife and mother of a young child. My sympathies to you and your mother for loosing your father during this time.

Great interview Nate! Lindsey is an amazing attorney. The thing that I am the most impressed with is her willingness to praise and hold in high regard the many co-counsel and office staff and family members who helped keep things going outside and inside both Chad and Lori's trials. It says a great deal about her true character. Much love sent to the family and friends of Tylee, JJ, Tammy, and Charles from those of us watching from Arkansas. They will never be forgotten. ♥

Wife is amazing too and your children I have watched Emmy pod last and I see her being the next Barbra Walters she's amazing I have watched both trials loris and chads and I must say Lyndsey Blake is one of a kind beatyfull and I've seen just a few that is incredible at this kind of job but she is on the top I been waiting for this interview I like all the other ones as well but Lyndsey always brought it home on chads and loris case I will miss your pod cast if there is no more I find it hard to find anything to watch like this I work and get home late at night and always looked forward.

[@bunnyheywood]

Lindsey Blake is an absolute amazing prosecutor and a hero for the victims Tammy....Tylee ...and JJ along with her super team combined to bring to fruition Chad getting the death penalty.....and definitely well deserved. Our judicial system sure could use a whole lot more Lindsey Blake's to take criminals to task and to pay for their insidious crimes. I watched the trial live on KZbin on a true crime channel called "It's A Crime" with Linda ...the channel creator ....she is amazing and super intelligent and a strong advocate for victims of crime. There was about an average of 2,500 people every day watching the trial on her channel and when we would see that Lindsey was going to be at the helm .... we all got excited and said... "Ohhhh this is gonna be good!! Go get him Lindsey!!" 💪 The red power jacket she wore was her cape 😊 I watched every single minute of Chad Daybell's disgusting....deplorable and infuriating case. With Lindsey at the helm for getting justice ..... he didn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning his case. She was so professional and refreshing and maintained it throughout the trial... ..unlike John Prior. Dear God don't get me started on him and his VERY unprofessional behavior. He was more of witness than anyone on the witness stand. I knew Chad was guilty from the start...but what really did it for me as far as his true character coming through was the jailhouse phone call between him and Lori when they were gighling and laughing about the murders ...albeit in code....their favorite thing.... absolutely infuriated me when i heard that phone call especially. He was so smug and above everyone else in the court room and i think he truly believed that he would win his case. Both Lori's and Chad's trials both came out the way it should have. Lori and her statement was disgusting to hear. It's awful that Tylee and JJ had her for a mother. All of the victims in this case were taken far too soon. Tylee and JJ and the details of their deaths was beyond horrific... absolutely heartbreaking. And so getting guilty verdicts on all of the counts for Chad was appropriate and the death penalty... absolutely. Thank you Lindsey for being the voice for Tammy and Tylee and JJ. You do your job well and i know future cases will have great endings as well. I hope that Charles gets his due justice. Long overdue. Also Brandon Beaudreaux as well. I truly think had Chad and Lori not been stopped....there certainly would have been even more people killed. Nate ...This was such a great interview with Lindsey and i was so looking forward to this interview happening. Very well done. And Lindsey Blake you have a whole lot of fans out there who just love you and think you picked the right profession and anyone you fight for ....has got a true warror going to battle for them. ⚖️ I wish you and your team well on all of your cases and all of your future endeavors. 💪 😊❤
