REBUTTAL WITNESS: Jason Mackay Abegglen, Garth Daybell's colleague, testifies in Chad Daybell trial

[@Posie2]

Can we thank Mackay for exposing this family's lies!

[@sandra4395]

The whole family knew he killed her and just went along with it... Friggin' crazy!

[@sandra4395]

@therealz360z7 I did not know that ... thanks for sharing.... if there is another realm then I hope Tammy sees that her husband raised monsters...

[@patriciaseybold7396]

Poor Tammy, Charles, JJ and Kayleigh! I applaud this young mama honesty . This entire clan are monsters.

[@patriciaseybold7396]

How does Pryor sleep at night?

[@michellestjohnsmith4158]

What a bad situation Garth was put in .

[@maryperry1773]

3:05 “I remember he said he found his mother dead in the bedroom when he got home from work, and he didn’t know where his father was”

[@LadyKestrel23]

Leaving your child to find his dead mother. That’s some next level evilness

[@joyceparrotta3432]

Yup. Pos. He's a sick sob

[@maryperry1773]

This is my favorite witness. I think that’s what really happened. Emma and Chad MADE Garth change the narrative. Tammy was murdered, but they needed to spin the “natural death “ idea. Garth has repeatedly changed his story to please Chad and Emma, and to get that life insurance $$

[@janetcampbell5678]

BRILLIANT TESTAMONY!!!

[@skyleawood2649]

CD looked at the jury more than any other testimony ive seen. Worried by this as he should be. Got the kids involved in his 😈 work. Disgusting.

[@SweetT601]

This defense attorney is sickening. I understand he needs to do a real good job so that when they lock Chad up he can’t claim poor representation. But, lord this man makes my skin crawl.

[@sandra4395]

💯%

[@CeCeFaye]

He’s vile.

[@christinarowe8586]

AGREED 💯. Chad Daybell is diabolical and he's definitely brainwashed his children!!

[@justkiddin84]

Thank you, Mackay! I don’t think you came to court understanding how important your testimony was, but it was very important. Justice for Tammy!🩷✌️💜🩵

[@miss1meda]

Powerfull testimony!

[@lorileary4432]

ol Chaddy boy is NOT happy about Jason's testimony !

[@Kay-fv7cw]

This would explain why Chud grabbed the phone from Garth on the 911 call. 🤔

[@gsmith6026]

Chad’s words when he took the phone from Garth were weird, “This is the husband”. He didn’t sound even remotely distressed.

[@ralsharp6013]

Thank you Jason 🗝🙏

[@prof.mommyarty]

Oh I have questions! Like, didn't Garth phone emergency services after finding her? Couldn't find his Dad so he....what? 🤷. Also was his Dad driving Alex back to the church car park?

[@maryperry1773]

Exactly!

[@prof.mommyarty]

I know right 😨

[@lesleyd2090]

@bobbicatt Saved him for rebuttal so Garth wouldn’t know and be able to adjust his testimony to fit.

[@annettelacey7913]

John prior is sovrude to witnesses,Why would this young man lie,He gains nothing either way,He done well i though for the way JP spoke at him

[@catherineseiler7407]

This is ridiculous, why are they not charging these two Dayball kids for lying? Are they going to let them get away with purgery?

[@thatkajunguy8029]

In the bid scheme of things they are pretty insignificant, they did the defense absolutely no good. Chud was found guilty on all counts.

[@mosaicmind88]

It matters because it sets a precedent that people can lie on stand without consequence. You can't let it go just because the verdict went in your favor.

[@bettyaduke4007]

MacKay “Garth told me the following weekend after his Mom’s passing he talked about that. I rember he said he found her when he got home from work and he didn’t know where his Father was. I don’t remember if he said that she was in the bed or next to the bed, but that her lips were blue and she was kind of pale.”

[@cindyranelli7590]

This young man had the courage to speak the truth, for Tammy; whose own children refused to. What kind of a soulless, demented person it takes, to plot the murder of 2 children and your wife, while destroying countless lives. I understand the kids love their dad, but how about pleading the 5th, vs destroying your mom's good spirit. I can't imagine the eerieness amid the Daybell home, leading up to Tammy's murder. Likewise, Tylee alienated from everyone and pulled to Rexburg. Poor JJ, lost his dad, his sister, his dog, Bailey, and all his life comforts because of these twisted, soulless individuals. All for $$$$$$. Nothing will equate justice but I pray for not only a guilty verdict but a sentence of death. Chad needs to know his life not only amounted to nothing, but his peers deems his life valueless and not worth saving. I cannot understand how anyone can do these things, especially because they had desires. Rather than get divorced, and give the kids up, they used the victim's lives for a Hawaiian lifestyle. Just deplorable. Regardless of how Pryor tries to pull slight of hand for the jurors, this is a conspiracy case, not a DNA case. Charles Manson has been in jail forever and not only wasn't he ever at an active crime scene, he never participated in the murders. He orchestrated them and that's the conspiracy that earned him a lifetime sentence.

[@joyceparrotta3432]

Well said!!! I completely agree. I have been here since day one. Kids missing. I will never forget the day they were found. How I cried. Lori and Chad are Evil. I pray chad rots in prison until he dies.

[@joyceparrotta3432]

HERE'S SOME NEWS FOR YOU CHAD. LORI WOULD HAVE BEEN BORED IF YOU QUICK!!! MOVING ONTO HER NEXT HUSBAND

[@coldisle]

I really admire this prosecutor. She is just incredible and very much equal to the task of nailing this smug guilty lunatic to the wall. I find Prior to be obnoxious and patronizing, but he really should be commended for having SO little to work with for a client. Chad has certainly been well represented.

[@mschlund1]

So much for religious values

[@joyceparrotta3432]

They have no values. ZERO RESPECT, ZERO COMMON SENSE, ZERO MORALS. I HAVE NEVER NEVER SEEN PEOPLE LIKE THIS IN MY LIFE

[@deew7014]

Cult values 😡

[@stargazer47878]

He seems like a very straightforward young man. Well done Mr MacKay.

[@littledovecafe]

Pryor is doing well for doing it all by himself and yes defense lawyers do rattle witnesses and everyone does need a defense and he doesn’t have much to work with including the entire world’s energy against his client as everyone knows the Truth… The Jury is Us Ordinary People with Common Sense 😃

[@roseromans8497]

I dont know if the defense lawyer has ever experienced death, especially of a parent. In the time period after you do give people who talk with you especially when being offered condolences of circumstances surrounding the death. Possibly, especially in an unexpected death as a way to try to process for yourself. I remember doing it when both of my parents died and have been on the receiving end when offering condolences...more often with people I knew a little more casually than close friends who I had interaction with more close to the actual death.

[@gsmith6026]

Especially if YOU are the one that finds your parent deceased. That would usually be very traumatizing to most people.

[@michellestjohnsmith4158]

Wow - Chad really put his children in a bad situation. What a nightmare- this will never end for them.

[@JetPackDino]

I believe this witness. I think Garth really was alone when he found his mom. His testimony makes much more sense that way.

[@debhanzlik540]

Did anybody watch Chad’s reaction to Mackay’s testimony. Taking notes shaking his head! He is a nut who cares what he writes down?,.,

[@jujujudio]

It was an intimidation tactic. He wrote down the name for casting purposes. Like anyone believes Chad's bunk. Watch how Chad holds his hand after. Julie Rowes baloney.

[@sunnymoondog]

Prior is manipulative

[@debbiebeggs4256]

Thankyou Jason

[@rlbrown1009]

Didn't Chad say he found his wife?

[@PrimetimeKCL]

McKay did a great job on the witness stand! His testimony is very believable.

[@Emily-Flowers]

I'm glad the "Halloween Kid" 🎃 convinced the jury of Garth's lies... The irony that Garth worked in a haunted house 👻 when his actual house has bodies in the backyard is so unbelievable...

[@suzanbeverlyhills2310]

Thanks

[@amyyarbrough4797]

Now let’s get Garth for perjury!

[@Bob-jm8kl]

Prior said the day Tammy allegedly passed away. Allegedly?!?!

[@lauriemckone3635]

When Mr Pryor was questioning this guy he said did he tell you he was playing video games till 4:00 p.m. he was playing video games till 4:00 a.m.

[@brookepageguitar]

The defense attorney is so smug 🙄

[@chevlife3311]

Emma and Garth are a chip off the old block. Liars.

[@JFH-te4lu]

Has anyone thought of what to follow next when this trial is over?

[@George_Tropicana]

I’m struggling with this decision 😩

[@lorellrogers1216]

The Brian Kohberger trial

[@jmo2104]

Whoa!

[@jewelboxnews]

Thanks important

[@bridget1540]

Jaw drop time!!

[@maryperry1773]

Chubs looks bored. He doesn’t want to talk about this. He wants to hear about Lori and “the storm”, and then go back to his cell. 🪱
