Witness confirms Tammy Daybell's death was a homicide

On day 14 of the Chad Daybell triple murder trial, we heard testimony from Dr. Erik Christensen, a retired Utah Chief Medical examiner.
Daybell was charged with murdering both of his current wife, Lori Vallow's children, JJ Vallow, and Tylee Ryan; along with his previous wife, Tammy Daybell.
Tammy's death back in 2019 wasn't initially considered suspicious. On May 1, the jury heard from Christensen about Tammy's cause of death.

Even the officers I can see but this medical examiner hasn’t hit a home run for the prosecution. He’s talks very credible but the defense treats him as if he’s trying to catch him lying.

They also dug the kids from the ground but we don’t see him criticizing that.

[@nicola7609]

Pathetic isn't it

[@stealthwarrior5768]

He can try and shock with words but it makes no difference to the truth.

[@gr122]

@@stealthwarrior5768 exactly, but no one would of "dug her from under the ground" if her monster husband hadn't put her under the ground in the first place by murdering her.

You can tell when John Prior is worried about the testimony... he starts acting like a grumpy teenager 😅

[@andreyasdus7629]

I have got to fast forward thru Prior's redirect. It causes nausea.

[@Zena357]

Daybell is going to be convicted. His life in prison won't be pleasant. He won't renounce his religious beliefs. His kids have now lost both parents. Leaving the LDS religion (cult) would be in their best interest.

[@eh-i1841]

The prosecution lady was so professional and well prepared.

[@taniawyngaard]

Why didn't he just divorce Tammy if he wanted Lori? So many lives lost and even more damaged forever.

[@HeatherHall-fg9vi]

He wanted the money.

[@taniawyngaard]

@HeatherHall-fg9vi OMG how tragic!

[@vernareed2692]

​@@taniawyngaardhe wanted insurance money! Plus if he divorced he'd have to split everything in half with her and wouldn't have insurance!

[@taniawyngaard]

@@vernareed2692 so so sad that she had to lose her life because of his greed!

Chad was a gold digger.

[@ziggy7668]

Love how his lawyer acts like anything Chad claimed about his wife is true even though if he killed her, he would say anything to cover for it.

[@kid_cudi6788]

i’m 25 minutes in when u realized there isn’t a dude narrating this story it’s just court room footage 😭

[@pkcollins8300]

Hey Daybell children -did you hear that??? DID YOU??? HOMICIDE!

[@almia5659]

Sadly there is no heaven OR hell (the concept is as strange and unlikely to me as Chad’s ideas land with others) so, let’s hope they secure justice against these monsters in this world.

[@PaulaWoerner-ck6gr]

😂😂😂😂 thank you Judge…. Yes Mr Prior is argumentative….

[@bettyariscooke3382]

I hope Chad's kids are paying attention to how hard their mother fought for her life and his morbid enjoyment at viewing the autopsy video.

[@truecrimebloggirlz]

You guys remember the kitchen towel beside the bed near to Tammy, IMO thats the one they put inside her mouth to suffocate her

[@alaskasnowsparrow8585]

So sorry Chad looks bad for you didn't really think this whole thing through you now did you did you get some /alot of puddy??

[@corbie-lynnworth2035]

This attorney is AWFUL!!! She can't get to the point, how are we supposed to understand it! Obe last question x 10!

[@josephdillon7420]

Prior is trying so hard to cast doubt of Tammy's homicide to the jury. He ask his questions and answers them as well. I doubt Prior is smarter than the medical expert.

[@marievm4]

Defense attorney is so disrespectful to this witness it’s unacceptable. I can’t stand him.

[@HeatherRenee2017]

I wonder what Chad is writing, probably another book called “My Portal Really Is Closet Sized”. Or “How To Get Your Children Tried For Perjury.”
