Ray Sanchez, Steve Almasy and Cheri Mossburg, CNNA day after delivering a guilty verdict in Chad Daybell 's murder trial, an Idaho jury will reconvene to weigh whether he will face the death penalty.An Idaho jury decided Saturday that Chad Daybell should be sentenced to death following his conviction on first-degree murder and conspiracy charges in the killings of his first wife and two children of his second wife in a case fueled by power, sex, money and apocalyptic spiritual beliefs.
First, the three murders, he said, were committed for remuneration. Daybell was also convicted of insurance fraud stemming from life insurance policies that allegedly paid him money after his first wife's death. His second wife, as well as Daybell, also were convicted of grand theft because she continued to draw Social Security benefits for her children after their deaths.
The verdict came about a year after Daybell's second wife, Lori Vallow Daybell, was also convicted of the murder of her children and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. She was also convicted of conspiring to kill Tammy Daybell. Vallow Daybell has appealed her convictions to the state Supreme Court, with her legal team raising the issue of whether she was mentally competent to stand trial.
"Everything that glitters is not gold," he told jurors. "Lori Vallow glittered. She was not gold. She was the trajectory that changed the plan... Chaos hits and all of these things start cascading and this thing becomes very complicated and difficult." Woodcock remembered Tylee as "the most precious, blond-haired, blue-eyed little girl" and an "absolute mama's girl."
Kelsee Douglas, Tammy's sister-in-law, told jurors that "pain, fractured relationships and unhealed wounds are all part of the aftermath" of the murders.Tammy's brother, Michael Douglas, lamented that "the nightmare fodder I have been provided will last me a lifetime."Law enforcement found the remains of Tylee and JJ on Chad Daybell's Fremont County property in June 2020, authorities said.
"Two dead children buried in the defendant Chad Daybell's backyard," Wood said in his first words to the jury at the start of trial. Tammy Daybell was initially believed to have died in her sleep, and Chad Daybell remarried less than three weeks after her death in 2019.
