An Idaho judge said that opening statements will begin on Wednesday in the Chad Daybell triple murder trial.
Jury selection began last Monday and ended this Monday with Chad Daybell’s lawyers and prosecutors completing their peremptory challenges which eliminate potential jurors. Monday’s hearing was not live-streamed, but EastIdahoNews.com reported that there are 10 men and eight women on the jury.
Chad Daybell’s wife, Lori Vallow Daybell was sentenced last July to life without parole for the September 2019 slayings of her two children, J.J. Vallow and Tylee Ryan, 7 and 16, who were reportedly found buried on Chad Daybell’s property nine months after their disappearances. Vallow Daybell also got a life sentence for conspiring the murder of Chad Daybell’s late wife, Tammy Daybell, in October 2019.
Chad Daybell, who is married to Vallow Daybell, is currently on trial for murdering the two children and his first wife. Chad Daybell remarried weeks after Tammy Daybell’s death, which was initially ruled natural but later deemed a homicide.
Vallow Daybell is awaiting trial in Arizona for killing her fourth husband, Charles Vallow, in July 2019. Vallow Daybell’s brother, Alex Cox, fatally shot Charles Vallow and claimed self-defense. Cox died — reportedly of natural causes — in December 2019, months after J.J. Vallow and Ryan’s disappearances. Idaho prosecutors claimed Cox was also involved in the slayings.
The trial continues…
