Chads lawyer is waiting for the right time....then bam...divorce. LV think she has everyone under her thumb, just bat her eyes and they will fall. It will be interesting.

Nate Eaton claimed not so long ago that Lori and Chad were still united while Chad's attorney is sending the opposite signal from the get go by calling her Miss Vallow. Technically she's still Mrs Daybell. Maybe Chad will leave JP do his job to save him at Lori's expense. I can see Chad's strategy as denial of any involvement in (and knowledge of) the children's disappearance and burial. He just believed Lori's explanation that she sent the kids away. He doesn't know if she harmed them herself, but she and her brother were unnaturally close. When it comes to Lori, she can try to pin it all on Alex, but since Chad probably didn't carry out the murders, then she can't blame him without implicating herself. IMO they are both hoping that their charges won't be upgraded and that at least some of the evidence against them will be struck off. They are both arrogant enough to think they can get away with it.
Why would they want another child?
If Prior could have succeeded with separate trials, I’m certain Chad would be filing for divorce, blaming Lori and Alex, and planning on his future hitting on vulnerable women. Lori would definitely do that too, if the shoe was on the other foot. They don’t share love. They share greed.
I bet Chad wouldn't want any small children around.
Yep! I fully expect Prior to request severing the cases once he’s ready to admit CD’s defense will not be the same as Lori’s. The questioning will be fun to watch if Prior calls Lori as an uncooperative witness.
I wonder if he’ll try to go for an annulment. What’s required for an annulment in the Morman church? Not that they were ever actually married in the church. But I’m curious.
My theory is Prior is planning to blame everything on Lori while Means was thinking Chad would stay on Lori’s page. Unless he’s a complete idiot, after the preliminary hearing Means must realize Prior/CD are going to throw Lori under the bus.It's interesting that one lawyer doesn't object to joinder and the other lawyer does. I would think that both lawyers would be on the same page about this. Why aren't they?
I had the impression that CD's lawyer in his argument was letting the court know that a motion for severance would be forthcoming if the joinder was approved, and essentially, it would waste more time and resources than needed for that reason.
The strategy. I can't figure out what LVD's lawyer is doing here not objecting which weakens the defense's overall arguments about joinder.
It's obvious to me that a joinder is a big advantage for the prosecution.
Unless I'm not understanding the whole strategy. I sure hope our members who are lawyers can shed some light on the strategy these defense lawyers are using.
I honestly can't believe that, there's no way they wanted children around them.
