Knowing how much Chad didn't care for his own mother, this is wild.

[@babsmalone5486]

This poor Mom has to sit in the stand and testify. It’s beyond sad she had to do this! Any momma who has to testify in her son’s murder trial, when he’s being tried, is to be pitied. Poor momma!

[@Somegirl811]

Nah she and her husband are super confident. They're excited to see Chad vindicated.

[@Somegirl811]

Honestly, I kind of wish she would see reality, but ignorance is bliss.

[@CuteTexasToads]

I feel like Sheila was holding back.

[@Terrie-QD-PRN]

I do agree with you. She really didn’t stand for either too much. I think she favored Chad, but the surprise wedding threw them.

[@ggr9068]

Agreed, but the truth is powerful. The fact that he was married to Lori within 2 weeks is such a huge red flag that even if she tried to not make him look bad it didn’t work in my opinion.

[@Luluisraging.86]

@@ggr9068 I doubt very much, that she was HAPPY about such a QUICK marriage, after her daughter in law’s death. That had to be VERY DIFFICULT for her to have to testify.

[@cl5470]

​@@Luluisraging.86 she is used to women having no value based on how her own sons treated her. She probably blames Tammy. It's typical in Mormon families that women do all the work and take all the blame.

[@soude85]

And that her daughter was dead..🙄

[@Somegirl811]

She says like 5 words while Prior testifies for her.

[@dcoff2]

Agree, I was surprised that there was no objection for the leading questions. Mom wasn't shining him up very well, so Prior just wanted to see how much damage control he could elicit instead. This is already well beyond damage control regardless -- the "Lori made him do it" narrative that Prior is relying on is the best he can do and isn't going to work. Best the defense can hope for is not getting a capital sentence, though he's at least going down 100% for Tammy (suffocation is personal and brutal), and the prosecution's final argument will tie all the light/dark, cell phone, jeep, etc. loose ends to him well enough that he won't get slack for the kids, either.

[@Tacomaisalsonachomama]

Right!? You and me both, how did we miss this? 😮 Like, when!??!

[@leannemori9688]

​@goatgirl5968 there were texts between Chad & Lori, where he proclaims his love for her and how much he missed her, etc. And he told her how sad he was because he missed her and wanted to be with her And then he said everyone saw he was sad, "but not for the reason everyone thought ".

Everyone around Chad ignored how outrageous him getting remarried 2 weeks after Tammy’s death. They all just completely dismissed Tammy, the Woman they all speak so highly of, claiming how wonderful, kind, loving, etc.. allowing him to shove this other woman down their throats as if Tammy never existed. Chad Must not have been THAT shy, Soft spoken or an introvert. He had NO PROBLEM parading Lori throughout the community like the golden calf.

So sickening that Prior is trying to make out that Chad was this poor little shy, introverted, innocent guy, who got dazzled by a seductress because he just couldnt help himself. Before Lori, he was involved with other women. Lori likely wasn't his first mistress. He described Tammy as bland and boring. He used the line of "We were married in a previous life," on other women before Lori.

No mother would ever want to do this, she was treated awful by Chad, but still she gave birth for him. This is heartbreaking for her.

And to make matters worse, he was her first born. I would expect a mother to have extra protective instincts toward the first baby because she is experiencing the whole thing fresh… certainly not experienced in testifying at child’s murder trial…

[@brendakauffman2222]

It's hard for a mother, to have to testify in her son's murder trial. There is a balance she has to make, since he is her son. Who would willingly give up lots of info? I don't know if she can see the truth. I think the marriage was strange to them, just 2 weeks after Tammy's death. No mother wants to believe their son is a murderer.

Im glad she apologized to Heather. However, I'm not going to applaud her for strength or courage. Strength is the courage to step into the unknown, no matter how hard, to set the example for your kids on how to treat people. She set the example on how women are supposed to treated and Chad is the product of that. There are plenty of people that have taken that long, hard road to generational change and they are the ones I support. They are the ones who dont have the familial support, unlike Chads mom.

[@raqueacevedo1509]

Tammy and Mrs DV are the exact examples of being sweet and prayed. A true Mormon's obediente wives...but HD was the opposite. She's a truthful, honest, resilient, with common sense, hardworking woman, well spoken, who doesn't care about being sweet or just a "good mormon wife". IMO
