I think after, this parents are going to be skeptical. Before, most people felt sorry for the kids, now it’s obvious that they’re no better than their father. My children won’t allow anyone to say a single negative thing about their deceased father, if anything negative is said, they justify it. Their father wasn’t perfect, but he loved them and that’s all they care about. These kids have no love or respect for their mom, even though she was a kind, loving and nurturing mother to them, they betrayed her and they betrayed her memory. It’s disgusting and disturbing. I hope the jury isn’t fooled by these awful people.

[@kimberlyschleiger6196]

You are sadly mistaken. Children do not pay for the sins of their fathers and Jesus teaches that. Their kids are victims. Chad along with Tammy brainwashed their kids.

She should not be allowed to teach children. She allegedly believes is Jesus yet she has never displayed the behavior as true Christian. No honor for her mother, no empathy towards the children buried in her father’s back yard. She cried when her father was being arrested, but not one tear for her mother. Perjured herself on the stand. Lied about the officers wanting to explain the autopsy results. They were kind to her. I am so glad they have her recorded. I would take my kids out of her class and petition the school system to prevent her from teaching children. Garth and her husband are also teachers. Are these the type of people anyone parent would want teaching their children? They are dangerous. All 3 of them need to be terminated from that school district & from teaching in the State.

He has not said that no, but he’s implying it each time he attacks law enforcement actions.

[@mountainman4859]

@@JoBeth-tw6ki …Recounting his encounters with law enforcement is just answering the question. Not attacking. Surely you aren’t implying law enforcement doesn’t apply pressure to people they think are lying to get them to crack. They even had a 2nd grand jury to look into charging him with lying. That Grand Jury declined to do so. Which tells me they didn’t buy their suspicion that he was lying. I believe pretty much everything he and his sister said. But I am certain their father is clearly guilty. Neither attorney asked them any questions that would reveal their reasons for claiming he is innocent. For example, they both acknowledged JJ and Tylee’s bodies were found in their father’s yard. Neither was asked how they think they ended up there without his involvement. When asked if she knew her father had labeled her mother a dark spirit, the daughter said she had never heard that. Well, they could have had her read the texts between Chad and Lori where he says just that. They were never asked any of those types of questions or why they believe he is innocent. Instead they were asked about dates and times of certain events and who was present. And they answered honestly, and everyone is mad at them for not turning on their dad. I guess we’ll have to wait for their book to come out where they explain everything as they see it.

[@lauries.nicewaner3876]

He has to do the best he can with what he has. I would hate it if Chad got off because his attorney didn't do his very best.

[@eternity7477]

@@mountainman4859 Actually, the first grand jury suggested he should be interviewed again as they picked up inconsistencies. Unlike you, I believe almost nothing the children said. Their scripted responses, hitting every single talking point before even asked, was just weird. And no, they didn't answer honestly. Garth got his script mixed up right off the bat. Emma outright lied about her and her mother going to a presentation and signing up for more insurance without the husbands's knowledge. Outright lied. Chad not only signed it, but the date was a Sunday. If she deliberately lied about that, why should one believe a word coming out of her mouth? Two children were missing and later found brutally killed. Thank God LE did absolutely everything in their power to bring justice. And yes, LE is allowed to lie, put pressure, etc. None of that is against the law. As far as this type of argument goes "Neither was asked how they think they ended up there without his involvement.", they are not allowed to speculate on the stand. Back to my original comment and your response, JP is focusing so much on "they weren't told about the autopsy", "LE followed them" etc. etc. implying that LE doing their utmost to get to the truth is somehow bad. It is not helping one iota to prove Chad's innocence. The children's hurt feelings and hatred for LE is besides the point. It is a DP case after all.

[@BSmall-yr4qx]

Thank you. I never feel like cooking at the end of a long day!

[@b.valentine5283]

Shouldn't Chad have been the one cooking since Tammy was the breadwinner and he was sitting on his duff all day, sexting Lori?

[@SD-co9xe]

Right, and Lazy Chad was home all day, why didn’t he cook?

[@denisetaittinger4635]

If she wasn't doing anything all day and is exhausted at the end of the day.... then maybe I'll think she wasn't well. But people who work hard get tired!

Why does it sound like he's answering the defense lawyer's questions with a question??

[@domoniquepaxson2985]

Exactly what I came to say

[@Crap_bag_regina_phalange]

That’s just so strange to me. It’s a bizarre cadence, not natural.

[@raerae2555]

He and his sister lied like rugs. And likely won't be held accountable for committing perjury. What a punch in the face to their mother's memory!!!!

[@vivavoice7211]

They are brainwashed and scared to go against him.

[@alicebusinelle408]

If Chad was snoring when Garth got home that means he and/or Alex killed Tammy, and then Chad got in bed next to her and FELL ASLEEP!!! Fell asleep! After doing that! Right beside her!!!!! He is such a f-ing psychopath!!!!!!!

[@elless4817]

Anyone outside the courthouse with signs saying Dead Bodies Don’t Roll?

[@pancakesatthedisco8088]

I love that Garth was so angry he chased out of the house after the guy…. He’s abt as intimidating as a 2 day old duckling.

[@oldbuzzard8536]

I would hate to have this guy as my science teacher unless all I wanted to do was sleep through class!! What a snooooozzer!!

[@jillmacnelly]

Not to mention the fact that this teacher is still living at home with his parents.

[@SpeegBJ]

Amen! My exact thought too while listening..."Ok class, now we will look at atmospheric pressure." Whoa, omg I'd fall right over in my chair!

[@user-sn4bp6rp7m]

Nate, A HUGE revelation that has not been spoken about! At NO time did Chad tell Lori that Tammy was sick!

[@brendabaldino8857]

Hold up.... Garth said Tammy got a quarter pounder from McDonald's but didnt Chad try to say she ate a Big Mac but they only found potatoes in her stomach

[@MollysMom5]

Interesting how both Dumbell siblings had total recall with Prior, but severe amnesia when questioned by Prosecution.

[@heatherstephens9295]

Emma & Garth come across as being very well versed in their answers. A little bit too much imo for it to be authentic 😬

[@merandaingram4295]

But can't remember anything the state asks about

His middle name is literally " Guy" . Chad Guy Daybell. It's about the dorkiest crap I've ever heard. Dorkbell

[@jennifermitchell3070]

Raccoons are nocturnal. I have chickens are they try and break in the cages at NIGHT!!!!

[@sandigrace2271]

So ... Tammy supposedly had sleep apnea, but Garth only heard his Dad snore and seemed surprised Prior asked which parent was snoring. Tammy supposedly ate unhealthy foods, yet Chad was grossly overweight and Tammy was not. Tammy was tired all the time, yet the family's "concern" did not raise to the level of helping her out. They could only nag her and criticize her. Poor Lady. I feel like they kept her in a cage of sorts and gave her no respect, love, or encouragement. Just a workhorse.

[@PamelaEHunter]

And she was a doormat, just utility. Such a shame. But the kids Emma and Garth will get their due someday.

[@tammarrafoote5917]

He told the identical story because it was rehearsed...

[@nikkijohnson4933]

Although I'm glad this trial is being televised I really really don't like the "4 box" video because you really can't see anyone's face. It's like watching ants testify.

[@PamelaEHunter]

True. Lol

[@marinkelmoon2866]

Do you need water or pause? Nope , I feel nothing when talking about lifting my mother’s cold stiff body back into bed. Btw, did I tell you we were extremely close? Not sure what that means, but I hear people with actual feelings say that…. 😨 Imagine this is your eighth grade science teacher!

What kind of kids are these? They all seem so slow.

Poor raccoons!

I know. They are in the raccoon’s territory. Wildlife be damed. Awful people. They should have made a better cage for their rabbits to avoid having to kill wildlife.

[@IsabeauC]

Nate, I cried when you talked about your grandfather because I still felt your love for him. Chad taught his children to lie for him, but they are adults. It's sad that Emma and Garth don't see that students who should look up to them for knowledge and guidance may not ever trust them again.

[@maylomax9856]

Little chad is just like is dad

[@pamcollins1651]

How right you are! Emma is a chip off the old block also!!

[@mountainman4859]

Not really. There are clearly differences.

[@savannahhargis]

Wow, so Tammy can keep up with strenuous workouts but can’t do yard work or lift a cinderblock without becoming extremely winded? Hard to believe.

[@Cindy-gu3jv]

You should familiarize yourself with the town your house is in Prior.

[@melanie9369]

This makes me dislike Chad even more.

[@thekoalafornian]

He’s a teacher and he needs to have explained to him the word ‘prior’?

[@louesparza8003]

Exactly!

[@leetbruce]

Also interesting how Chad is now hugging himself through this testimony

[@carmellaffan6654]

He was just as pathetic as the kids. XO

[@robynmarler1951]

I think the defence would have done well to keep this oddball out of the way.

[@charlieb8104]

Being winded doesn’t leave bruises on her arms and chest and lungs full of fluid. Jurors are going to see through that. Can’t wait for the cross examination.

Omg. He talks just like chad

[@lauriepowell3959]

He sounds quite a bit more intelligent than Chad Baby.

For a second my heart broke for Garth. When he said him and his mom were extremely close it’s just heartbreaking. The hell Chad is putting his children through is just so sick.

[@gj5990]

As a mother who always needs help from my son to move heavy things, it’s not because I’m so weak I’m about to die, but because I’m just not as strong as him! So sad to hear the dishonor from her own children. Yet I suppose they didn’t want to be next on the hit list

[@bojigirl5672]

Garth’s ascending voice at the end of most sentences is incredibly annoying. Is he asking a question or not?

[@nickinurse6433]

Prior is not one to make fun of someone eating McDonald's. Looks like he has eaten more McDonald's than Tammy

[@mariatucker7213]

Maybe Tammie was acting different at home than school because she knew things were bad at home and not happy. But school was the place she could be hetself and relax!! I am not convinced Tammie didnt sense something was very very wrong in her family!!

[@carlaray7614]

These kids don’t know the difference between right and wrong, they have no problem lying either.

[@wdn.l4086]

I thought raccoons were nocturnal, not prone to find food in the daytime.

[@elless4817]

48:52 Why would Garth say he “doesn’t recall” telling someone that he found his mom IN BED and that Chad wasn’t there? Why wouldn’t he say “I never said that” or “that’s not true”? And the big pause when talking about what he told his now wife he says “I don’t know what the rules are about what I told Cara”…… as if he wants to hide what he said behind some rules about what you tell your spouse can’t be used against you. 😂

[@letolethe3344]

Neither of these adult children seem very bright. They talk very slowly and haltingly and seem not to understand or recall the simplest things readily.

[@vivavoice7211]

They are making sure they get their lies right.

[@LauraCook-pl9pq]

I feel bad for Chads kids. I know ppl may not understand, their mom died and they have to realize that their Dad did it. I think they have been manipulated their whole lives. Someone they love did something so horrible to someone else they love

Yes ... They are totally brainwashed by the father .

[@belindabond6670]

Garth I feel bad for him because when this hit him he won't be able to handle it.

[@williamshakespeare3429]

I think Garth was coerced by Chad to lie at the time of the murder but I believe he would have cracked during the aftermath/investigation had it not been for Emma pressuring him to keep covering for their father. Emma is a much stronger personality and she is driving the coverup from the outside.

[@brattygardener8373]

Sorry not sorry, but the kids are strange. They're not only unemotional when talking about their mom, but they're seemingly taking Chad's side and are defensive of him. Bland as all heck too. I can hardly listen bc of the way they talk. They remind me of their dad they all talk the same it's unnerving!!!!

[@melissabeller5872]

Tammy had to have been dead awhile if Garth told his coworker that he was the one who found his mother's body and she was blue already, but failed to call 911for your mother? And Garth couldn't find his father? Yet Chad made the 911 call instead. Gezzz.
