GUILTY TRIAL OF CHAD DAYBELL CHARGED WITH MURDER OF JJ VALLOW, TYLEE RYAN AND TAMMY DAYBELL #7

[Artis]

I think this came from early Megan Conner interviews, when she spoke of visits to the Cox's as a child/teen.

I forgot the exact quote, but it was crazy arrogant.

MOO


I *think* this one

Who is Megan?

I would find that a tough call as to whether attend or not. This is almost his story and to not be there for the verdict was a big deal.

He is one of the speakers along with Lori's sister. It's not like he could just back out at the last minute.

I've said this before... I was anti-DP until I watched a report about Wesley Allan Dodd. A report which included the family members of one of Dodd's victims (little 4 yr old Lee Iseli) and Dodd, also. The physical/sexual torture, pain and death Dodd inflicted (for days) on this little boy was hellish. The DP isn't necessary for ALL criminals but there is absolutely no redemption nor correction for some... which includes Dodd. He was executed Jan 1993.

ETA: I would not put Chad in the same category as Dodd. again jmo

They have to be pro DP to sit on a jury in a DP case so I think they're okay. It should also be noted they didn't have to impose it. They could have imposed life w/o parole.

Didn't they just have to decide if there were any aggravating factors and determine if mitigating factors could outweigh them? The judge then imposed the penalty based on their findings.

Not pro-DP, only open to it; there’s a nuanced difference. In any event, I phrased my comment to allow for the possibility that jurors will have a range of reactions.

I don't understand how none of Lori's family was there to support Colby.

LVD's uncle Rex was there at beginning of trial
He may not have been able to travel this past week, but he did show support of Colby before.
Colby's wife was there yesterday and today with him also.

 

[Artis]

His wife was there.

Yeah, I know, but I was talking about the Cox family. Cousins, uncle, aunt, great uncle, grand parents. Colby lost his whole immediate family!

Oh, I'm glad to hear that about Rex.

This case is so wild.
I've been following since the beginning (I remember the first posts here on WS), watched the documentary, listened to the podcasts, etc etc etc. I STILL don't feel like I even remotely understand what on Earth was happening here. I feel like the more information I get, the further away I get from understanding how in the [self-redacted] this blatant craziness and these two thoroughly unremarkable and not especially bright or charismatic people having an affair turned into MULTIPLE homicides, including of two children? Especially so (relatively) quickly?

I am against the death penalty in general, so to that end I guess I would say it wouldn't have been MY choice (though I wouldn't have been put on the jury to begin with then, hahaha) but I respect the jury's decision.

Chad is a loser who ruined so many people's lives, including his own, for NOTHING. I want to cross-stitch this and force him to hang it in his cell.

You can cross stitch his face with "Who's the ZOMBIE, now, Chad?" below.

Yes, but preceding that they had to agree that they could impose the DP. I'm not being critical of the jury, btw. Just saying to be able to impose it means you support the DP. Doesn't mean they like or take pleasure in it, just that they think it's a just punishment.

Some details I missed earlier today —This was right after the sentence for each charge was read by Judge Boyce :

I totally get that and there are lots of people who I've thought needed dead. Cases like you brought up, those terrible torture murders in N California (Craigslist ad), anyone who murders a dog (including cops) and on and on.

 

[Artis]

Someone please remind me of the reason that the DP was taken off the table for Lori.

 

[k-mac]

Great outcome.

The gutless serial killer never uttered a word. The hypocrisy of this dynamic is so complex!

Would have liked Judge Boyce to give him a smack down like he did Lori.
We all enjoyed that immensely.

 

[887sMtreme]

It's not like it was their personal view on the DP that made them decide. They promised in advance they would be able to follow the law and were given a set of instructions. Twice they asked the court for clarification. They took their time to apply the instructions.

I phrased my comment as I did to avoid any consideration of jurors’ personal views on the DP.

And,there were the "toolbox killers" in California. They recorded some of their tortuous murders which were played during their trials. I think almost all of those jurors needed therapy. But, no DP on the table for the killers.

Some of the seven-woman, five-man jury cried. Others looked like they were in shock as the 10-minute tape played.

Kay said Bittaker and Norris, who confessed in exchange for being spared the death penalty, kidnapped the high school girl while she was hitchhiking.

The smack-down in this case is built into the sentence.

I had that question too and looked it up. Basically, some discovery issues that the judge said didn't give defense enough time to prepare.

OMG. I'm not even clicking on those links. No way in hell would I serve on jury where I had to be exposed to that. With video taped evidence, California didn't have to make that deal.

Chad should be required to literally dig his own grave.
