  • GUILTY- Jury Deliberates Fate of Chad Daybell in High-Profile Murder Trial

    GUILTY- Jury Deliberates Fate of Chad Daybell in High-Profile Murder Trial
    May 31 2024
    The jury in the Chad Daybell murder trial has begun deliberations after hearing closing arguments and receiving detailed instructions on the charges. Daybell faces accusations of conspiracy to commit murder and grand theft by deception in connection with the deaths of Tylee Ryan, JJ Vallow, and Tammy Daybell.

    Prosecutors Lindsey Blake and Rob Wood presented a comprehensive rebuttal closing argument, emphasizing Daybell's pivotal role in a conspiracy that led to the tragic deaths. Blake highlighted text messages between Daybell and Lori Vallow, revealing their belief in "zombies" and "death percentages," concepts they allegedly used to justify the killings.
    "Chad says who’s dark, Chad says death percentages, and three bodies are located on his property. Three obstacles that were in their way," Blake stated, referencing a clip of Daybell in the back seat of a police car saying, "I’m not coming back."

    The prosecution played several recordings, including a patriarchal blessing Daybell gave to Alex Cox, Lori Vallow's brother. Blake emphasized the message, "Alex had already helped him in ways they could never repay." The prosecution also showed a text message exchange where Chad referred to relatives as "obstacles."

    Defense attorney John Prior countered, arguing that Chad Daybell's actions and beliefs were taken out of context. Prior insisted that Daybell's religious beliefs did not equate to a criminal conspiracy.

    "It can’t be an agreement that we have consistent religious beliefs," Prior said, stressing that there was no direct evidence linking Daybell to the physical act of murder.

    Prior also focused on the lack of DNA evidence on the tools used to bury Tylee and JJ and questioned the credibility of key witnesses, including Melanie Gibb and Zulema Pastenes. He argued that the investigation was flawed and relied too heavily on speculative and circumstantial evidence.

    Judge Steven Boyce provided the jury with 41 instructions, including definitions of conspiracy, aiding and abetting, and reasonable doubt. He reminded jurors that the state must prove every element of the charges beyond a reasonable doubt. "The state has to prove that Chad Daybell, with Lori Vallow, Alex Cox, or other co-conspirators, entered into some sort of an agreement to kill the children and to kill Tammy Daybell," Boyce instructed.

    The jury was sequestered for deliberations, ensuring they remain isolated from outside influences. Five alternates were also randomly selected and sworn in, ready to step in if needed. "If there is reasonable doubt, and there is reasonable doubt, you must return a verdict of not guilty," Prior concluded in his closing argument.

    As the jury deliberates, the community awaits the outcome of this high-profile case that has captivated national attention. The fate of Chad Daybell now rests in the hands of the jurors, who must sift through weeks of testimony and evidence to reach their verdict.

  • Prosecution Concludes Rebuttal Witnesses in Chad Daybell Trial as Jury Instructions Near

    Prosecution Concludes Rebuttal Witnesses in Chad Daybell Trial as Jury Instructions Near
    May 30 2024
    The trial of Chad Daybell continued with significant developments as the prosecution presented its final rebuttal witnesses, bringing the high-profile case closer to conclusion. Key testimonies from medical experts and investigators provided crucial insights into the circumstances surrounding the deaths of Tammy Daybell, JJ Vallow, and Tylee Ryan.

    Judge Boyce opened the courtroom to the jury and addressed a pending issue about a proposed witness, Janice Olsen, who claimed to have heard Tammy Daybell discussing increasing her life insurance. After deliberation, Boyce decided to exclude Olsen’s testimony, citing concerns about its relevance and her potential bias after watching parts of the trial.

    Dr. Erik Christensen, a retired medical examiner, resumed his testimony, reiterating that Tammy Daybell’s death was not accidental, natural, or a suicide. "There were bruises on her arms and chest, but her heart and other organs were normal," Christensen testified, dismissing the possibility of death due to toxicological issues, seizures, or cardiac arrhythmia. He concluded that Tammy's death was caused by asphyxia, labeling it a homicide.
    Defense attorney John Prior cross-examined Christensen, questioning why certain details, such as minor lung inflammation, were not highlighted in his report. Christensen responded that the inflammation was insignificant and did not contribute to the cause of death.

    Retired detective David Stubbs took the stand next, presenting evidence from Chad Daybell’s Google search history. Stubbs revealed that on January 3, 2019, someone using Chad Daybell's account searched for information on how to turn off location services on an iPhone. "A request was made on August 24, 2019, to delete all GPS history from the chad.daybell account," Stubbs testified, noting that such actions could be indicative of attempts to conceal illicit activities.

    During cross-examination, Prior suggested that the searches could have been made by Tammy Daybell, who was more tech-savvy and used Apple devices. Stubbs acknowledged the possibility but reiterated that the searches were conducted through Chad’s account.

    Lt. Ray Hermosillo from the Rexburg Police Department provided testimony about the investigation into the disappearance of JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan. He detailed how the children were eventually found buried on Chad Daybell’s property. Hermosillo also mentioned that he drove by the Daybell residence frequently, partly because his dry cleaning business was nearby and partly due to the ongoing investigation.

    Hermosillo recounted seeing Emma Murray, Daybell's daughter, at a gym but noted he did not interact with her. His testimony reinforced the prosecution’s narrative of Chad Daybell’s involvement in the children’s deaths.

    The prosecution wrapped up its rebuttal witnesses, and Judge Boyce announced the next phase: jury instructions. "Closing arguments will be conducted tomorrow," Boyce stated, signaling the trial’s imminent conclusion. The jury was excused for the day, and the courtroom was cleared for administrative actions and further discussions on jury instructions.

    With the rebuttal witnesses concluded, the Chad Daybell trial is poised for its closing arguments. The testimonies of Dr. Christensen, Detective Stubbs, and Lt. Hermosillo have bolstered the prosecution's case, setting the stage for the jury's deliberations. As the trial progresses, the legal community and public alike are keenly observing the proceedings, awaiting the final verdict in this complex and highly publicized case.

  • Brian Higgins Testifies About Phone Disposal Amid John O’Keefe Death Investigation

    Brian Higgins Testifies About Phone Disposal Amid John O’Keefe Death Investigation
    May 30 2024
    Brian Higgins, an agent with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), testified on Tuesday regarding the disposal of his cellphone during the investigation into John O’Keefe’s death. This testimony provided crucial insights into the defense’s case, which argues that Karen Read is not responsible for O’Keefe’s death. Higgins admitted he disposed of his phone and possibly the SIM card in a dumpster at a military base without consulting anyone or receiving a written cancellation of the preservation order for his phone. "I didn’t know whether I removed the SIM card when I got rid of my phone, but if I did do so, I either cut the SIM card or broke it," Higgins stated. Defense attorney David Yannetti questioned Higgins about the disposal process. "Then you drove to a military base and you threw both the destroyed SIM card and the phone into a dumpster, didn’t you?" Yannetti asked. Higgins confirmed he was driving through a military base on Cape Cod and believed he put the destroyed SIM card and phone into a dumpster there. Higgins further testified that he didn’t transfer anything from his old phone to his new one, including photos, videos, and possible text messages with members of the Albert family, who owned 34 Fairview Road at the time. On redirect, Higgins told Assistant District Attorney Adam Lally that he didn’t have much saved on his personal phone. “In the sense that I’m divorced, I don’t have kids, I didn’t have the typical memories that somebody would’ve had on their phone that they wanted to preserve,” Higgins explained. Higgins revealed that a call from the target of an investigation in July 2022 made him reconsider keeping his old phone number. “I had a lot of concerns, so July of ’22 is when I probably started thinking about, ‘You know what, I’ve got to get rid of the telephone number itself,’” he said. Higgins confirmed he changed his personal phone number on Sept. 29, 2022 — one day before receiving a court order to preserve the phone, which Karen Read’s lawyers were seeking as evidence. He testified he got rid of his old phone "about two months after that," because it was "beaten" and he had already obtained a new one. O’Keefe’s niece provided testimony, revealing that Read was frantic and screaming when she awoke around 4:30 a.m. on January 29, 2022. Prosecutors indicated Read directed the niece to call Jennifer McCabe, a friend, during which Read changed her story multiple times about what happened to O’Keefe. McCabe testified that Read was screaming during the call, saying, “John didn’t come home, they got into a fight, and that she left him at the Waterfall,” a bar where they’d been drinking the previous night. Testimony from Minors The testimonies of O’Keefe’s niece and nephew were not live streamed or recorded due to their minor status. In 2022, the children, then aged 14 and 10, told investigators that Read and O’Keefe argued frequently toward the end of their two-year relationship. O’Keefe’s niece recalled her uncle telling Read “that their relationship had run its course and that it isn’t healthy,” according to prosecutors. Defense’s Position Read’s defense team has suggested a conspiracy among witnesses and law enforcement, arguing that others, including Higgins, are responsible for O’Keefe’s death. Despite Higgins’s testimony, Read's lawyers remain focused on proving their theory that someone else is responsible for the crime. Higgins’s testimony adds a complex layer to the ongoing trial, highlighting the defense’s strategy of implicating other individuals in O’Keefe’s death. As the trial continues, further witness testimonies and cross-examinations are expected to shed more light on the case.
