This will be controversial, but — completely IMO — the parents of the bullies deserve to bear some responsibility in the bullying behavior of their own children. Maybe the parents should have been notified of their children’s behavior by the school and then given an opportunity to correct the...

This is also my experience, that calls depend upon the specific county jail. Telephone Calls are NOT free however and in the last 5 or so years have cost $3-$4 per 15 minute increment. The calls may be paid for either by the recipient or the inmate. Again much range in terms of what each jail...

I think no small part of the reason the Daybell children are being called as defense witnesses is to keep them from hearing the prosecution witnesses and evidence. They still could watch the trial I think, as victims of Tammy’s murder themselves? But almost certainly they are not. Chad and...

Dave Warwick is a defense target as well.

I’ve been thinking about The question of whether Chad believes in his own teachings. His Near Death Experience. Whether The murders were committed for spiritual reasons or money. IMO if Chad truly believed himself a prophet, he would *never* allow Prior to present anything to the contrary —...

Prior is definitely victim-blaming and shaming Tammy. I can hear Chad’s voice behind all of his a$&hole commentary. It is not playing well at all. Tammy is appearing stronger and stronger as a kind person and a dedicated wife who stayed too long in a marriage with a man who didn’t deserve her...

Right? Ok now I can’t get the rhyme from that children’s book out of my head: One story, two story, red story, blue story … Feel free to write some additional lines. Please do not think I am taking this trial or the murders of Tammy, Tylee, and JJ lightly, though.

Prior’s tone and the stress in his voice gives him away for sure. I am glad he is giving Chad some kind of defense though. When he targets witnesses he gives away the inadequate excuses Chad presents as a defense. If there was no defense — as in Lori’s case — I believe the death penalty would...

All IMO. This trial has felt like a slow burn thus far. The rhythm for sure is slower than Lori’s trial and I’ve been so concerned about this. I don’t doubt Chad’s guilt, but the prosecution seemed sluggish. But now the fire is finally catching. Feel the fire. (Yes intentional reference to the...

I can’t tell about the microexpression of contempt — the video quality I’m watching is so poor. And I am certainly not a body language expert. But even I can also tell Chad is uncomfortable, more discomfited, slouching and closing himself off during the testimony of the Utah ME. Prior also...

Ok I’m sorry this is so off-topic but I’m dying to know when this comment occurred In the Murdaugh trial? The witness name is enough for me to go looking.

The witnesses this week — friends and co-workers of Tammy’s — have been amazing. I’m so thankful to know her through them and would have very much liked to be her friend, especially compared to Lori. I hope this testimony gnaws at Chad’s heart and fills him with regret and desolation for his...

Thank you for the update on the condition of the additional victims from the Swan Lake Boat Club crash. People outside of a tragedy such as this often focus on the deaths that occur. And rightfully so. This has been a horrible event. But often other surviving victims who have been injured can...

I believe Chad’s stolen pendulum was the sole determinant of the ratings designated Light and Dark. And since they were attributed to persons who were difficult/obstacles (Dark) or helpful in some way (Light), the others in the cult just accepted them. Which is totally ridiculous.

Thank you for this update. This is sobering. I have to believe Karma is coming for her or I would lose all faith in our justice system. It is going to take awhile though as this case works through the courts. The positive: She is now a pariah in the community. I hope they will not only confine...

Do you think anyone will call on Julie Rowe to testify? I do not mean to bait or hijack the thread. I personally think JR testifying would be a train wreck.

There is an interview on HTC during which a former acquaintance of the Daybells suggests Chad revealed to his family that his ‘fiction’ books were actually based on his *true* prophetic visions. I don’t know the rules about posting those interviews. I don’t suggest this is a healthy response...

In the jails and prisons I am familiar with, neither men nor women are allowed to wear any jewelry.

I just cannot even with calling children ‘dark’ and ‘light’ based on their early childhood behavior. By this scale, I may have one of each — a son who was ‘light’ and a daughter who was ‘dark’. This lovely spirited girl challenged the heck out of me from the day she was born. She could out-argue...

Juries are a bit of a black box. It is obvious to us exactly why Prior is making this big of a deal about whether the weapon was a paintball gun or rifle. Many (most? All?) of us are convinced this incident was an attempt on Tammy’s life. But many of us have seen juries interpret testimony in...
