[@katarzynaheinrich4304]

Chad and Lori could have divorced their spouses, get jobs and live happily together. They didn’t because they wanted money and control. So vile.

[@81suze]

He is very evil and delusions of grandeur too

[@dz7a756]

​@@81suze delusions of grandeur. Be well and be at peace.

[@81suze]

@@dz7a756 yeah thanks delusions I meant

[@shalinitahiliani5325]

Yes, they never wanted to make a decent living on their own. They both were dependent upon their spouse incomes while they were alive, and on insurance and state money when they were gone. And now, they'll be in prisons and live off of hardworking peoples taxes 🙄

Money money money !!!!!!!

[@ChristineKramer66]

Samantha, if you read this, I want you to know your testimony brought tears to my eyes today and you did your sister proud. You gave her a voice. I have no doubt she is so grateful and honored and proud of your testimony today. I am so sorry for your loss. I only have one sister who lives 600 miles from me and I am ashamed to say we don’t keep in continual touch. But your testimony today inspired me to make a greater effort to be in more constant touch with my sister instead of once or twice a month. I pray for you and your family and I pray that justice will be served upon this disgusting man who robbed you all of your loving sister Tammy.

[@MrsJackson-tc6io]

I 100% agree! Thank you Samantha!

[@teresareaves8469]

The most beautiful testimony for your beloved sister! My heart broke for you.

I also loved when she spoke about the fact that Tammy did NOT have an aversion to doctors and clarified her use of homeopathic medicine.

Samantha was great- I did laugh when Judge Boyce is asking her to not talk at the same time as someone else and she talks at the same time with him. Classic! 😂

[@marshapieroni6677]

I just heard that again and got a chuckle 😊

[@codirennke1109]

I worked as a videographer shooting depositions for 8 years. Similar rules of not over speaking in depositions so that court reporters can get everything. But you would not believe HOW MANY people CANNOT grasp the concept. They do exactly what you described... speaking over the person telling them not to! Makes the court reporters job so much more difficult.

[@dianesaienni5466]

This woman was.great. she seemed angry and rightly so. finally a person who has a mind And a voice! good for you Samantha! I hope to see you on the court house steps celebrating his conviction

[@sherryrobinson1365]

Samantha, if you see this, pls KNOW that we are SO, SO, proud of you! You ARE a wonderful sister, tons of love and caring went into & came out of your testimony. You stood strong and gave Tammy a powerful voice in that courtroom. We understand Prior’s job, he’s doing it poorly, and that’s in Tammy’s favor, as well as the other people murdered in this case. GOD Almighty will prevail in this case. We are praying for all of your family affected by this senseless tragedy and loss of life. Be kind to yourself.❤

[@stargazer47878]

It is so disrespectful to the value of a human being to take the best years of someone's life, raise children together, partly live off their income and hard work, and then discard them as if they were nothing. How can Chad's children still support him?

[@rolltide_rhiannon]

Simple. They're cultists, I'm mean Mormons. Tend to get those confused 😂

[@81suze]

Chad and his evil spirits would continue in prison. He is that deluded. I fear the death penalty is the only way to stop this ludicrous man.

[@madsdee7803]

I agree. He'll be sending messages to his kids through their landlord...i.e., his lawyer Mr Prior. He thinks he's still in control and he deserves NO more control. He's already done enough damage thinking he's a Warren Jeffs wannabe with multiple wives (including little girls (Brandon's little girls who were the only kids of his not labelled 'dark')). This needs to stop and no more from any of them in his family or friends.

[@BradJames878]

I just hate the thought of Chad converting people to Mormonism while in prison. The last thing this planet needs is more of those religious nutcases running around: and although all religions are bad, Mormonism is up there with the worst of them.

[@ordinaryhand]

i wondered during samantha's testimony if he would finally recognize himself and the truth in what she was saying. but if he had, the only response could be to change his plea to guilty. the fact that he still wants to feign innocence means he is still living in his mind-kingdom.

[@kc-lp6wg]

Ludicrous is a great way to describe this thoroughly unremarkable, yet spiritually manipulative husk of a human.

[@bethanywhite877]

Even if he gets dp he will have 25 to 30 years before he ever faces execution. Chances are at his age, by the time the date ever comes, he will never be executed. He will die of natural causes or have his sentence commuted to life without parole because he will be elderly and ill or just because that is what typically happens. Going for the Dp in this case is just a waste of money. I’m sure they were hoping for a plea deal.

[@eimyalbers7640]

I'm very close to my sister and I love her so much we talk almost every day I can't imagine Samantha's pain! Samantha did an amazing job and an honor to her sister. I'm in awe of her strength ❤

Amen...the God in Jesus Christ's will is not for you to be murder. Be well and be at peace.

[@dianesaienni5466]

hey that goes for men also

[@Amontillado72]

What I do not understand is why Chad did not take a plea because the evidence is imo overwhelming. There is *no way* for this jury to find him not guilty

[@kaybrown4010]

Maybe Chad wanted to be a martyr for his cult’s sake.

[@nicolettebrown2680]

Maybe no plea offer was made.

[@AZStamptramp]

Glad he didn’t!

[@princesstakaloo]

I truly believe tammy was right there next to her sister today in that court. I cannot imagine how painful this must be giving testimony for your murdered sister in front of the very man who killed her... its heartbreakingly sad ❤

Are you telling me that Tylee and JJ were buried in this animal cemetery and Tammy was still alive? How disgusting!

[@heatherclayton-callaghan4270]

And this vile creep PRIOR is making this bereaved lady look at it and walk all over it with her eyes and grief. This defence council is as nasty a monster as his client. Birds of a feather flock together. The man is utterly dispicable !!!!

[@LoulouVioletCapulet]

Very well. I think they were the best witnesses so far.

[@CaraMills0106]

Chad was trying to get a group of people to follow him to Rexburg, a cult following.

[@murielhughes1060]

I know John Pryor has a job to do in defending this bastard but he's getting on my last nerve interrupting the witnesses, asking stupid questions that make no sense to me as a layman, objecting to everything, and badgering the witnesses. Like, wtf, why ask Tammy's sister how many animals were in the pet cemetery? And how many interviews she had with Police??!! Totally insane!!

[@sondragramse1770]

I thought the same... why???

[@kmars3239]

Mine too! He’s such a slimy attorney! The fact he’s been in trouble for misconduct doesn’t help either 🙄

[@nicolettebrown2680]

Pryor has to do his best. The evidence of Chad's guilt is overwhelming. No one, especially the State, wants Chad to get a new trial on appeal due to ineffective counsel.

[@murielhughes1060]

@nicolettebrown2680 I totally get that, I just don't understand why he didn't advise Daybell to take a plea deal. ( I don't even know if he was offered one). To put Larry & Kay Woodcock and Tammy Daybell's family through this ordeal again, the same ordeal they went through at Lori Daybell's trial, is disgusting, and all kinds of wrong. Selfish pair of bastards, absolutely no remorse, no care given, no humanity.

[@suekelley2109]

Even if he suggested Chad take a plea, he can't force him to do it. Prior has asked the judge to be released as Chad's Attorney and this was denied. So under the canon of ethics he has to do his best to get him off. Why he asked these ridiculous questions s about trees and shadows and the number of pets in the cemetery I don't know, but wow he left the door wide open for Samantha to deliver that heartbreaking "Two dead children!" final comment. At least he didn't bring up Melanie Gibb AGAIN.

[@CH-vm6cq]

He’s not being paid

[@sallyannchappell5671]

@@CH-vm6cq I thought Chad signed over the house to Prior. One of the witnesses, the Real Estate Agent, when Prior asked him how big Chad’s property was , said, “you own it, you ought to know!” Prior stopped for a side bar after that. That’s being paid well, to me. Not saying he doesn’t deserve it, he is a death penalty lawyer, so earns more money. But it is being paid.

[@karenmorente7589]

I'd imagine "Tammy's depression ". was what is called clinically "situational depression.'. The reason I suspect this is because in listening to Chads negative digs on Tammy , the insinuation that he was bored with their relationship Tammy as " vanilla routine " in everything. I suspect that was in response to his gaslighting , harassing and putting her down. The family and all witnesses describe Tammy as healthy , cheerful smart etc. what with running her home, working, running and dancing. The impression is that her "vanilla " is in reaction to her husband and possibly her being put down and gaslit with the apparently talented manipulator control freak who didn't want her to have a life away from what he softly demanded. Also many witnesses from the family and Mormon church; to minimize the importance of women community seems to center completely around motherhood and homemaking only. Repeatedly we hear about steward of the family as the man and the important decisions are seemingly dominated by the men. Where as the gentle women and good mothers comply it seems . I don't hear discussions that are cohesively made. Rip Tammy. Karen Morente

Bye Chad! Excellent witness!

[@questianna]

Something that bothers me most during both Chad's and Lori's trials is they are without remorse for what they've done or even regret for where they will spend the rest of their lives. Is dishonesty ever acceptable in Christianity? Man up and tell the truth.

[@TanyaB2024]

They're not Christians. LDS is a cult with another Jesus!

[@NothingButTheTruth-en9ec]

They are not Christian, they are Mormon. Mormon’s follow a doctrine created by a man named Joseph Smith who falsely claimed he was following Jesus (when Jesus taught to beware of false prophets and people claiming to be Him or come in His name) when he created this false doctrine. They are Mormon, not Christian.

[@questianna]

@@NothingButTheTruth-en9ec They say otherwise. They certainly claim to be communicating with "the Lord." Joseph Smith was a whack job, along with the rest. But LD Saints, as a general rule, strive to be virtuous. Thus my question about the lack of hesitation on Chad and Lori's part to lie, repeatedly.

[@nikan7704]

​@@NothingButTheTruth-en9ec Regardless of your opinion of Joseph Smith, it's bold to claim he wasn't following Christ if he claimed he was and his teachings didn't conflict with Christ's teachings. (If you feel his teachings conflict, please name one.) Anyone who follows and worships Christ is a Christian. Mormons follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, which makes them Christians. In case you weren't aware, the name of the "mormon" church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

[@NothingButTheTruth-en9ec]

@@nikan7704 name one conflict? There is not enough room here for all the conflicts! Jesus never taught anything about "sealings"...He did not teach that only people who are of Mormon or any religion are allowed in "church" buildings during weddings, nor did he teach about about any of the ceremonies Mormons follow. In fact, He did teach to beware of false prophets and of people claiming to be Him or come in His name. I encourage you to put down your Book of Mormon and pick up a Bible. Read it cover to cover at least 3 times through and you will start to see all the lies and contraindications to what Jesus taught. It's what I did and why I feel so strongly about it.

[@Harley59]

You did your sister with grace. We can only pray that her children see the truth. Tammy's children are very much victims also. They we're manipulated by their father. He lied repeatedly to them. If Emma gets on the stand and lies about her mom's day Friday before death or at all, she too will be killing her mom all over again. All because Chad was a cult leader. Sad

[@user-wj1qd4dc1t]

My heart 💔 for Tammy's sister! She did awesome on the stand! The whole world is rooting for justice for your sister tammy! Let's not further other victims in this case!

It's sad seeing that only Tammy's sister is mourning her. Her children don't care. I'm sorry for Charles and Tylee even more because nobody has ever mourned them. How incredibly sad and heartbreaking.

i would love to see chad do time where he said the end will begin. ground zero.

[@cindybrown2826]

I find it sad and disturbing that the family seems to be unable to mend the rift in their relationships due to this situation. As I listen to this I also find it disturbing to see the selfishness displayed from 2018 all the way through the end of 20 19

Prior trying to be nice is almost as disturbing as him being mean. “I’m sorry I was doing that too I think I lead her on”. 😅 His affect changed this week. His tone is gentle almost patronizing. Before he would start cross with a saccharine tone but end argumentative. I wonder if he’s starting to lose faith in his client. Doing the job to get it done.

He’s probably noting the disdain in the jury’s face and body language and he doesn’t know how to react. He usually always looks and almost directs questions at the jury sometimes…he’s probably trying to change approach and get different reactions from the jury

Prior had made much ado about homeopathic medicines and essential oils. I have both in my home,and yet i go to doctor regularly! And the essential oils are for making different scented products with and has nothing to do with any ailment. I wish someone would let prior now that essential oils have many purposes!

[@pnwlady]

Chad placed a book on homeopathic remedies at her bedside, he pulled out all her tinctures to make it look like she had taken them that night. He crafted the narrative of her being sick, refusing doctors and using quack remedies. Prior probably believed him until recently. Prior is way softer this week. I bet he realized Chad is a pathological liar and is getting the job done where Chad has the least grounds for appeal.

She's the only one showing appropriate emotion that I've watched

[@fifi199991]

Why is Prior obsessed with stairs and the second story of the Cozy Cone?????

[@EP-sm2uc]

39:23 and what does knowledge about how many or what kind of dead animals reside in the pet cemetery, have to do with anything? Or if it was Tammy's idea?

[@Warwck24]

He didnt sound meek and quiet on that call w mr quilliam. He laughed?

[@maureencurran4161]

Great last question by the prosecutor in both direct and redirect....especially redirect! Nail in the coffin!

[@patriciafoster3347]

Prior has no mercy. Let’s hope the jury shows no mercy for his client.

[@ajensen366]

Prior is not Chad he's just his attorney doing his job

[@therealz360z7]

As badly as Tammy was treated her family saw nothing wrong with it , if my husband treated me like Chad treated Tammy my family would be horrified.

[@nikan7704]

It sounds like they didn't know. As far as I've heard, the ones who have testified have said it seemed to them like Chad and Tammy had a loving, normal relationship. As many other viewers have commented during this trial, Chad seems to have many characteristics of narcissism. If this is true, well, narcissists are very good at turning on the charm for others while manipulating those closest to them in private, and gaslighting them in ways that make them unlikely to truly recognize or tell people about the psychological and emotional abuse they are enduring.
