Chad Daybell Guilty of Murdering His Wife and Stepchildren
Chad Daybell Found Guilty in High-Profile Murder Trial
Lori Vallow Daybell Previously Convicted in Separate Trial
In a bombshell verdict, a jury in Idaho has found Chad Daybell guilty of first-degree murder in the 2019 killings of his ex-wife, Tammy Daybell, and his stepson, Joshua "JJ" Vallow.
The verdict marks the conclusion of Daybell's nearly two-month trial, which has captivated the nation with its shocking details and bizarre circumstances. Prosecutors alleged that Daybell murdered his family members as part of a twisted religious conspiracy.
Daybell and his wife, Lori Vallow Daybell, were both indicted in connection with the killings. Vallow Daybell was found guilty of all charges against her in May 2023. Chad Daybell's trial was separate due to concerns over jury bias.
During the trial, prosecutors presented evidence of Daybell's alleged participation in a doomsday cult and his belief that he would ascend to a higher plane of existence after the deaths of his family members.
Daybell's defense team argued that he was not responsible for the murders due to mental illness. However, the jury ultimately rejected this defense, finding him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
The convictions of Chad and Lori Vallow Daybell have brought a sense of closure to the families of the victims and have sent a powerful message that justice will be served, regardless of the circumstances.
