Laura, Juror #4 from Lori Vallow's case, speaks out about jury deliberations

#eastidahonews #daybell
As the jury in Chad Daybell's trial deliberates (nearly 6 hours now), I caught up with Laura, juror #4 in Lori Vallow's case. She's one of the only people who knows what it's like to be in that jury room making such a big decision.

[@soniauk4284]

So many people around the world are waiting for the jury to have a verdict. Tammy, JJ and Tylee are people we've never met but are in our hearts and minds forever ❣️❣️❣️

What a well spoken, respectful person she is.

[@HeatherRP]

We are all so lucky that people like her are willing to serve on juries.

[@supertrucker99]

LUCK? that case is torture.

[@kk3940]

@@supertrucker99Yes, luck. Criminal cases have been railroaded by juror misconduct & in a case as heinous as Lori’s this she is an ideal juror.

[@bridgwll]

I wish everyone that chats in the live & in here were all respectful.

[@patmurdie]

Prosecutors outshined themselves in this case. A job well done everyone

[@jennieorme3916]

I really respect Laura. She is an example of a perfect juror.

[@str9047]

Laura has grown in confidence... not easy suddenly being thrown in the limelight ...

[@redmoon8217]

A person who is on a jury shouldn't be in the lime light. It's not clean or ethical. Only in America could someone get to sell books or be giving interviews on KZbin for years from being a juror.

[@heatherstephens9295]

I totally agree, Laura was an excellent juror 👍👍

[@SP-zu4zv]

​@@redmoon8217 I agree, she seems sweet & genuine.....but there just feels something wrong about this. I u/s jurors of the same case spking to each other as it's stressful & a lot of pressure but, esp in high prof cases where eg kids have been murdered, we want to know justice is done, but it's nothing amazing or heroic. Children r murdered, the killer is sentenced to life in prison or death, it's not like it's a difficult decision, or u have to wrestle here with what's right or wrong. So nothing against her but again it's just feels odd.

[@carolseeley8021]

Great to meet you yesterday, Laura. The interview you did with Nate a few weeks ago was one of the most kind, truly heartfelt ones I have ever seen.

[@emptynesters2520]

GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS! JUSTICE FOR TAMMY💖TYLEE💝and JJ💙

[@LoudLilDucky]

She is such a lovely woman. She is an ideal juror. Her heart and compassion shines through.

[@VictoriaCatLady]

I really like this gal...bless her heart for being nervous✌️❤️🇨🇦.

[@sabrinamassie5606]

After watching Nate's interview with Laura ... It came to me that they had to download the emotions with each other too ... Time to FINALLY be able to speak freely about what they'd seen, heard and read ... I'd think that would be necessary for THEIR own mental health (or at least the first step) - Thank you Laura for your service ... Prayers for continued healing ...

[@Kris-mu3wm]

Thank you Laura and your fellow jurors. You did an amazing job. Such integrity!

[@sandieyule1644]

Nate I am so glad that the verdict came back while you were still in town. You have put so many LONG hours into this story and it seemed right that you were here today! Now you can enjoy your next event this weekend. Have fun. Be safe. Justice was served today!!!!

[@GiniRisinger]

Verdict in! Can't wait to see you tell us Nate

[@JerseyJude]

It’s got to be guilty. Not much time spent. They all agreed!!

[@joyrittimann9846]

You were so wrong

[@protectusplease9833]

Nate, thank you so much for covering this case for the last 5yrs with so much empathy and compassion for all the victims, their families and other people involved.

[@linneawhitaker1750]

Loved the interview between Nat and #4. It was so moving to have such an insight into the mind of a juror . How having to attend trial every day, making arrangements for her children, how having to hear all of the evidence effected her and her family. Really great jounalism! Thanks to both.

[@paulalarson914]

God bless you Laura on your work last year on Lori’s trial. You’re a sweet spirit. Continued healing in your life. ❤️❤️

[@trubrit5036]

She's not the only one on pins and needles. I can't forget the Casey Anthony case. I don't want that for Tylee, JJ & Tammy.

Thanks for the interview, Laura!

[@rosannacellini2158]

Hi Nate, Im glad you interviewed Laura, to get her perspective and emotions, being a juror, on the, Lori Vallow Daybell trial. I know this was so hard for the jurors to come forward, but they did. We all are anticipating the verdict, now on Chad's sentence. The year sure went fast, and here we are. Justice for, Tylee, JJ and Tammy! 🌹🌹🌹⚖️🙏

[@michellebohart6662]

Wow, Laura was spot on! ✨🙏🏼✨

[@nicoleeggers8136]

Laura, thank you for sharing your experience through this tragedy.

[@crystaltrickle941]

Chad’s lawyer went a little crazy in his closing arguments blaming Gibb, Lori and David Warwick!

[@julietchristensen3957]

He said Chad was going to be the next victim. I think others would have been "next" on the hitlist, but he's not wrong probably. She would have grown tired of him. But that doesn't mean he didn't do this!

[@Lavender-blue80]

That’s all he had. Prior had an uphill battle - one he couldn’t win.

[@Thealignmentkeys]

Thanks Laura. Great reporting.

[@davidrenton]

5 people dead, 2 in prison till they die, multiple peoples lives destroyed, what was it all for Chad / Lori / Alex. A divorce would have been simiper, Charles would have been great taking the kids, Lori and Chad could have effed off to Hawaii and everyone else would have been happy

[@catherineseiler7407]

Sex, Money, power

[@ofhismercy109]

Yes, except they neither one of them were the breadwinner. So they would of had to eff off to, like Mississippi somewhere. If only. Edit to add: I wouldn't wish them on the people of Mississippi, though! They're both right where they belong.

[@joyrittimann9846]

So true. Chad said he didn't believe in divorce. He just believed in Adultry and murder! WOW

[@vangielee1403]

For dumbell its the hot blond and LOADED thingy that he wanted to taste the so called scientific phenomenon "loin fire". Plus he needed money that Tammy has been providing him all their marital life. Effin' manipulative spineless parasite

Before I saw Nate at Boise airport I was in Phoenix were many people were on there phones waiting for the verdict. There was a sigh of happiness you could hear in the airport.

[@gsmith6026]

I was traveling in my car and my husband and I were listening on his phone, I yelled with joy when we heard it was guilty on all counts. Scared my poor dog.

Thank you to East Idaho News, Nate, and all the employees working with him. Appreciate all you have done and will do in further trials while we continue to seek justice. Heart goes out to every person who have suffered as a result of these tragic and senseless murders. Charles, Tammy, JJ and Tylee We will remember you always.❤ 🙏 ❤

[@DianeL-25]

Thank you Laura and Nate so much for! I appreciate what you both did and do!

[@donnalieblick8478]

I feel like Prior did the best he could with what he had been given. And it was all indefensible. He did the best he could with the tools he had. Last ditch effort that fell flat.

I’m so glad she was brave enough to speak about her service. I’m sure it’s hard to expose yourself to public opinion and at least most people agreed with her jury’s verdicts. I think we all as Americans want to know what goes on in there so if it’s our turn we know what to expect. Jealous of your trip Nate! I’ve stayed at that hotel before. Very watery place 😂❤ 🌊🌳

[@lightyearsfromhome1165]

Prior is able to muddy the waters and some can fall for it if gullibility is a character trait. Stay on course and use critical thinking. This goes for anything in life. My 2 cents. 4:32 pm verdict today is my total guess.

[@butterbeanqueen8148]

Verdict is in

[@cathyblock6197]

Good point-Prior did give a defense & did his job. Good work by the jury to find Chad guilty.

[@susanfenner6766]

Prior fought a fight he could not win. Too much evidence, but he took it on to give Chad the best possible defense he could have. We need to be grateful for that. Now Chad cannot appeal this. Chad cannot say his attorney was incompetent, and demand a new trial. This will stick, Chad will die in prison either by the needle or of natural causes. RIP Tyler, JJ, and Tammy… next is justice for Charles. Poor Larry and Kay, this is far from over for them.

[@michellemitchell1842]

When we say, I would ask ‘why’ I don’t think that’s really what we mean. I think we know the ‘why?’ But we want to know ‘was it worth it? Would you do it again?’ Maybe we are asking Why did you risk everything for something so fleeting?
