It definitely looked like Chad's chair was lowered to make him look less menacing today.
I hadn't heard of this tactic before.
Seems a desperate thing to do in this case.

Many countries have free press and allow jurors to go home at the end of a court day. Other countries have strong rules around what a juror can and cannot discuss and I believe the US is one of those countries. Jurors, as far as I am aware, are not allowed to discuss the case whilst it is onging, with anyone, to do so, would mean that the jury is tainted and would be removed (or in any case that particular juror would be removed). Why do you think that it would be a problem?

I've always been a bit suspicious of that "falling out of bed" and dying part. It seems to me like a CD embellishment. How did he know she fell out of bed anyway? Jmo
Unfortunately none of that will come into this trial as it isn’t relevant.And was that before or after he woke up to find her lying next to him in bed, looking peaceful, as if she were asleep? Like many writers, Chad may be used to editing his stories with a heavy hand, even changing major plot points in midstream, but this story wasn't intended for a novel. In real life, it screams "guilty."
What was the story of Lori's attorney that died suspiciously? The one she owed lots of money to?
Well, it doesn't seem to have been an issue in any other high profile cases, so why would this jury be any different? Juries are directed by the judge and by all accounts, take their duties seriously. Of course, there is trust that juries will be their duty and by and large they do.
Where does Daybell get those shirts with the collars that fit perfectly, but otherwise hang off his slouchy shoulders like an unpitched tent? And is that also intended to make him appear less menacing? That fixed, sunken mouth is creepy. He has zero life energy.It definitely looked like Chad's chair was lowered to make him look less menacing today.
Jodi Arias did the same thing. Lowered her chair and wore glasses.IIRC, Casey Anthony's chair was pre-set lower then other chairs at the defense table, to make sure she looked small -- non-threatening, child-like, incapable of harming anyone.
JMHO YMMV LRR

In my opinion, CD referred to “Tammy’s sister” as his SIL who was against in MG’s call to him and LVD on December 8th that was heard in court. I don’t know her name, but it was mentioned in one of NE’s articles as the one who pointed out the pet cemetery. I agree about their “non-support” being entered into the legal forum for all to know at the hearing! MO also, but I’m not sure how much they knew on December 8th, but they did ask if the call was being recorded, so they suspected something, IMO.
Thank you so much! That was the article I was trying to find, fascinating!i am behind..... and I do not remember the lawyer's name at the moment but can find it..... But this article had mentioned some of her difficulties in Texas. Just shows how she always skirted the law as well as the truth..... That lawyer was involved in some of this crazy stuff.....
But a 2005 bankruptcy filing reveals financial challenges are nothing new for the mother of three, who reported more than $723,000 in liabilities at the time.
Back in August 2005 when she filed for bankruptcy, Lori was Lori Norene Ryan, recently divorced from her third husband, Joseph. Both of them were on the hook for $79,440.89 to the IRS.
According to the filing, Lori earned $3,700 per month as a self-employed hair stylist in Texas, plus $1,500 in support payments from her ex-husband, according to the bankruptcy filing. But her total monthly expenses were $6,200.
Lori had lived in a house worth $710,000 in a tony community known as La Ventana in the Driftwood suburb of Austin with her two children, Tylee, 2, and Colby, 9, and then rented a $1,900 per month apartment.
She still owed money on the home, however, as well as more than $28,000 in credit card debt, loans and other bills, including $11,346.03 on her ex-husband's Bank of America Visa and $5,150 on a Target credit card.
Lori had also failed to pay bills for a number of medical practices, including ER Physicians and the North Central Baptist Emergency Room, both in San Antonio, according to the filing.
The document shows that in addition to back taxes for 2000 and 2001 owed to the IRS, Lori also owed $19,563.00 to the local county tax assessor in San Marcos, Texas.
In 2003, she listed herself as unemployed. As a self-employed hair stylist in 2004, she earned $17,500. She had earned $24,000 for the same work between January and August 2005, according to her bankruptcy filing.
In 2005, Lori valued her wedding ring at $4,300, which cost much more than the $38.15 ring that appears to be the one she wore in her wedding pictures with her fifth husband, Chad.

This MSM video just released about this case.
I think you have a good point, most religious extremists do use beliefs already accepted by the group as valid- then take distort them to, well, extreme levels. Likewise some groups such as ISIS demand total acceptance of all "teachings".

People are curious. How do you make sure they don’t listen to the news or read newspaper articles or get on the internet?
Unfortunately none of that will come into this trial as it isn’t relevant.
And really doesn't matter much. He could wear a Bambi costume and still look like a criminal to me.
Oh those frames! She picked the ugliestJodi Arias did the same thing. Lowered her chair and wore glasses.
I thought it was interesting in the request for discovery that has come to light this week that the prosecution is asking if either defendant is planning on using mental condition as a defense.
