Excellent opening statement by Rob Wood. Concise, detailed, impactful. Unlike the rambling, misogynistic, condescending, interrupting nonsense coming from John Prior. He had three years to nail it, and he didn't even come close.

[@marylizakowski706]

Well said.

[@grandma27or8]

He has nothing to defend Chad Daybell and his obvious guilty defendant.

[@avasomething]

LET’S F’IN GOOOOOOOO! So glad Chad’s finally in the hot seat. Thank you to everyone who is working their butts off to put him out to pasture for good. Nate, Rob Wood - man, you guys are tenacious and dedicated and our family appreciates you and all of the rest of the staff at East Idaho News and the prosecutor’s office. I knew Chad Daybell years ago and he was a slime bag then. Never imagined he could be this much of a monster though. Unreal…

[@OneBadAssMoMo]

Evening Nate! I’ve been waiting all day for this! Thank you, as always for your outstanding journalism!

[@yvettethomas5533]

JUSTICE FOR TAMMY, TYLEE & JJ !!!!!

[@missyskye_sea_land9424]

Thanks, Nate! I rely on your hard work even more now; I don’t bother to watch the live court proceedings anymore due to the poor quality. I appreciate you so so much!

[@vivianmcconnell452]

Listening from raining England! Thanks Nate.

[@dinnopascual2218]

Justice for Tammy, j,j, and Tylee!

[@rdw2457]

Imagine being a juror who knew nothing or next to nothing about this case… imagine hearing this opening statement & thinking WTH??? It’s like a horror movie script.

[@FeatherFeatherr]

Chad is a coward, I'm surprised he didn't go for a plea deal. Welp, he's screwed now! We are going to see justice served, and I'm so happy for the families🥳

[@dianawarren2652]

Thank you for sharing, Nate! The sound was so poor, I couldn't hear well, or understand their garbled words. I finally gave up! I will listen to what you share with us on Courtroom Insider. I appreciate you greatly, and Thank You for everything! God Bless You!

[@Jan-wd1is]

Same here, it was hard to listen to garbled speach

[@BamaCyn]

I used earbuds, that helped some.

[@catH727]

Go out and back in sometime clears it.

[@Thinkforyourselves64]

Use earbuds connected to your phone, KZbin podcast. Worked for me!!

[@DM-lc2cf]

I wanted to see Chad's face. But he doesn't seem to have much expression anyway so...

[@Wistful77]

Thank you for presenting this case so well. EIN kept us informed! Justice for Tammy, JJ, and Tylee!

[@BootsEditor11]

Too bad the Zoom audio visual wasn't better on the livestream, but this audio seems cleaned up and much enhanced. Thanks Nate and EIN team!

[@needlepullingthread1573]

Thank you Nate and team, I appreciate you all.

[@DawninFlorida]

Good Evening Nate, watching from Florida

[@msenglish8382]

Hell yeah good job on fixing the audio!!

[@trixietripodi688]

These murders were calculated. Lori called her children, Zombies, and everybody else that went against her. I whole-heartedly feel Lori should have gotten DP, as Chad is facing now. She has no remorse, whereas Chad is showing fear.

[@leonaleone598]

I totally agree & wrote so above. She was manipulative, marriage was meaningless to her (4). She had her brother Alex & Chad kill her children & husband Charles! 3 people who were involved in Lori’s life before Chad! She should have received the DP!

[@leonaleone598]

Chad is a charlatan claiming he’s a Christian believer! What he has done shows he’s a representative of Satan! Hell bound he & Lori. Although I think Chad will have remorse but never Lori! Two Zombies are Lori & Chad!

[@revealingroots]

This was an excellent recap of the prosecutions opening statement. Thank you!

HI Nate! WATCHING from Chicago!

[@loveforeignaccents]

Oak Park here!

[@kimberlyhallman6081]

Audio is much better

[@darsig3317]

I don’t understand how they thought the kids would never be found. How did they get to the point where they thought killing all of these people would bring them together and keep them together forever? I can’t reconcile it all.

[@FernVert]

Sheer arrogance, a sense of entitlement, horrific psychopathy, pick one and their miscalculation about the sheer determination and love of Kay and Larry for their grandson.

[@joycemeadows1821]

Neither one of them knew the Lord. IMO the Lds so called church & religion is all wrong & a man made one. Traditions of men. How anyone can get hooked up in this i cant imagine. Joseph Smiths religion & not of God.

[@toothless2690]

Religious fanatics

[@SweetUniverse]

One of them said, I think it was during a phone call, that angels would come down from heaven and prevent the kids' bodies from being found. Yeah, that obviously didn't happen.

[@darsig3317]

[@brandonkoon3707]

The audio is horrible on the zoom

[@teresaclark5465]

Thank you, Nate! Cleveland, OH in the house, I just recently found out I am related to Lori Daybell, through my mother, Joan Cox, I was mortified!

[@donnalipsh9779]

😮

[@Ausgar-yc1yl]

Her name is Vallow not Daybell.

[@AWJ-zf8cf]

Cox is her maiden name so ya that makes sense

[@9babyblu]

​@@Ausgar-yc1ylStop it. After everything that woman has done to the Vallow name... She is legally married to Chuddy Chubster and will be known as Daybell. Don't be disrespectful to the Vallow family.

[@Ausgar-yc1yl]

@@9babyblu Again wrong. Getting married does NOT change your name, you have to change your name and she never did. You can only be an inmate in jail and prison under your legal name, and her legal name is Vallow.

[@KarenLeeTLS]

"S*x, money and power." The bottom line. It worked before. It will work again in prosecuting and convicting Chad Daybell.

[@wolfmoon2010]

Thanks for posting these, couldn’t understand the court versions at all.

[@estherlongmore9443]

Hi Nate! Thanks for reporting and dedicating your time! And thanks to your family too! This audio is so much better than the court’s audio. Where did it come from? Can we get more?

[@DM-lc2cf]

Hello from Arizona, waiting to hear your thoughts.

[@K_DZ236]

Hey, AZ here too. Wonder if Lori is watching ole Chad throwing her under the bus from her jail cell in Maricopa County?

[@DM-lc2cf]

@@K_DZ236 I hope so.

[@K_DZ236]

@@DM-lc2cf So do I - quite sure that one way or the other the word will spread. Don’t think their ‘portal’ is open anymore. :)

[@donnalipsh9779]

I worry that John Pryor is constant objections diminish the effectiveness of the testimony.

[@9babyblu]

Nahh, jury will get annoyed AF with Prior and in the end, will work against him.

[@user-pt1cz4ot1e]

Oh, I didn’t know this was happening now. 😖 I’m glad, but man I’ve dreaded it. Thank you for the coverage, everyone. Nate, you’ve become a trusted name and face in our home in Kentucky. Thank you for everything you and your team does. I’m sorry you have to be submerged in this evil. Hopefully it will be over soon and these people can get the justice they deserve.

[@MissJessss]

Did they not have the cameras in the courtroom?

[@9babyblu]

They did. He's reposting for those who missed it and only want the opening statements. The audio is also a bit better on this post than on the live stream (court issue not EIN issue)

[@ohnoZomBri]

Interesting opening, noticed the nods towards Lori’s. In my opinion it’s a bit less emotional / impactful, but that may be simply because Chad is not the children’s mother. I want to believe this trial should be a slam dunk, but I’ll be nervous until the verdict is officially in… please go smoothly.

[@dakalodk]

Robs voice is 😢

[@rodeniabullington3988]

hi Nate

[@jennibarnes140]

Rob Wood is the best!

[@lynnependleton2778]

Hi Nate! Trying to watch from North Carolina but i'm hard of hearing and can't understand a lot of what he's saying.

[@9babyblu]

Try using CC

[@southerndelight54]

Try using headphones or ear buds. It worked for me. I live in N.C too 😊

[@TremontonNurseMJ]

John Pryor seems off his rocker based on the way he presents information with no rhyme or reason. He's also extremely offensive and condescending to others.

[@SandoRocks68]

Hello!

[@greenman6141]

I could not believe how awful Prior's Opening was. He fumbled his words, seemed to just be making things up on the fly, talked about completely irrelevant matters for about half the time, and rambled pointlessly. THAT is all he could come up with after all this time. It was so clear he didn't even pratice.

[@sandraguthrie276]

Yea! Ron rocks!!

[@Unique-Rythmn]

Rob Wood did an excellent job summarizing a very complicated case. He left out the part that Chad was a "self appointed profit" 🙄🤢

[@beverlywoade5348]

You know Chad will throw Lori under the bus along with Alex Cox. Yet, even after all that's happened, no one says anything about the lust that Lori and Chad had toward each other. These two left a trail of dead bodies because they wanted to have sex. All their murderous deaths they inflicted because they lusted after each other to have sex. Nothing is more heinous!

[@bennerebe]

I wish the audio was of better quality.

[@ivanawilliams4068]

I was really hoping for cameras in this trial .

[@shelleyplemons1362]

There are cameras, but it’s hard to see.

[@MsMallory96]

You could’ve done the video for this not just audio but it’s good

[@Thinkforyourselves64]

Did they ever find bullets or bullet-marks anywhere when Tammy was shot at???

[@darsig3317]

It was a paintball gun.

[@mardyross2838]

​@@darsig3317I thought she reported it as that type of gun but is thought to have been an actual gun that looked similar and malfunctioned.

[@darsig3317]

@@mardyross2838 I haven’t heard that but you could be right. 🤷‍♀️

[@audreydaleski1067]

Chad made choices. And made more choices. He has himself to blame.

[@leonaleone598]

Lori IMO is just as guilty! She allowed him to kill her kids along with her brother Alex. She’s a manipulator & was Evil before she even met Chad. Putting poison in Charles smoothies & Kaylee was always sick & doctors could not figure out why! She’s downright Evil!

[@WeAreNotGoingBackEver]

No video?

[@audreydaleski1067]

She loved her younger brother.

[@cherylolsen493]

I will be glad when Chad is convicted.

[@SweetUniverse]

He made up an alternate reality where he was sexy ....

[@BootsEditor11]

Rob Wood has been eating good the past four years, dang!

[@agilitydawg]

That's rude.

[@9babyblu]

At least in the last year, it's noticeable. We also shouldn't be commenting on it tho. Lol

[@KnightsOfXLand]

Yeah he's kind of getting a bit too heavy. Didn't see the new guy today. Jaramillo looked hot as always. 😅

[@KnightsOfXLand]

It's all good. We're not at church. I've gained weight too. I only worry he could have a heart attack or stroke. I've lost 8 friends in 18 months

[@9babyblu]

@@KnightsOfXLand I hear you. When I comment on noticeable weight gain, it's because I've looked at myself and made changes this year due to wanting to be healthier and wish health on everyone.

cant believe this trial has actually started

[@peachespavalko1980]

🙋‍♀️ In the upcoming episode, Lori meets bus. BAM!

[@myhappyplace5597]

The sound is so bad I couldn’t listen.

[@joycemeadows1821]

If Tamny read his books she shouldve known he was screwed up & left him then.

[@randymaged804]

If Rob doesn’t speak louder, and in a much more assertive way…he’s gonna lose the case. You can’t understand what he’s saying!

[@ErinAbou]

Zoom leaves a lot to be desired, but remember the jury is there and they are using 🎤. I think Idaho needs to budget for audio and video technology in its courthouses.

[@-greentoad]

The people in court can hear what he is saying. You are hearing the sound as it was on zoom. As far as being more assertive. He is experienced and has done this many times. He knows what he is doing.

[@joycemeadows1821]

The best lawyers were for the State in Loris case. Neither of these 2 r good with John Pryor being the worst. Chads not going to fair well.

[@randymaged804]

I just don’t think he’s the right sort of attorney for a trial of this magnitude. Simply not dramatic enough, nor does he garner enough emotion from anyone. I’m disappointed.

[@-greentoad]

@@joycemeadows1821 The state prosecutors in this case for Chad Daybell are the exact same ones that were for Lori Vallow Daybells case. Only Chad's attorney is different from Lori's case.

[@loveforeignaccents]

Like I commented on Court TV earlier today, he had the facts but totally lacked passion for the deceased victims.

[@nettie3485]

What?

[@donnalipsh9779]

Are you talking about Rob Wood?

[@patriciamau7854]

It is his job to remain professional while presenting the facts !

[@JFH-te4lu]

He is very organized and factual. Don't confuse that with passion. He definitely has a heart for the victims. Plus using a book format relates to Chad better.

[@loveforeignaccents]

@@donnalipsh9779 Yes, that's who gave the opening statement in this video... LOL.

[@victorlucente2587]

So far they've proof each element of this opening statement except the forensics of the tools and Alex's wife testimony still to come.

[@tcmomcoffey4028]

I pray that even the death of charles is presented to the jury as well as much as for jj tylee n tammy 🙏🏿 ❤ Jesus plz allow the jury to see n hear n have all evidence to conviction even his immediate family knew n said they knew he was guilty n did bad things so sad sick n not ok if im being honest why could they not have just left there spouses n went on no they wanted money for the desths of them all

[@beckydavis747]

It went against there religion

[@leonaleone598]

Lori IMO is just as guilty in this crime! In fact I believe she is the instigator in all of this & Chad was mesmerized by her. They are the real Zombies! 4 marriages! What a shame that she didn’t get the DP!
