Chad Daybell sits and closes his eyes after the jury's verdict in his murder trial was read at the Ada County Courthouse in Boise, Idaho, on Thursday, May 30, 2024. Daybell was convicted of killing his wife and his new girlfriend's two youngest kids in a strange triple murder case that included claims of apocalyptic prophesies, zombie children and illicit affairs.
Chad Daybell's attorney, John Prior, has filed an appeal with the Idaho Supreme Court to examine his case, the verdict, and the death penalty sentence. Prior wasted no time in submitting an appeal to the Idaho Supreme Court which was filed some time on Monday. The jury found Daybell guilty of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder after an eight-week trial last Thursday. That same jury deliberated and decided on the death penalty sentence by Saturday after hearing victim impact statements for much of the day Friday.
Idaho law gives defendants 42 days to appeal a conviction. The Idaho Supreme Court automatically reviews death penalty cases, though that is a separate process from the appeal. Prior also requested that the State appoint an appellate defense attorney, a specialized attorney who will handle the appeals process for Daybell, a process that could take several years.
