Found Deceased - ID - Joshua Vallow, 7, Tylee Ryan, 16, Tammy Daybell, 49, Charles Vallow, 62, Oct 2019 *Arrests* #64
1/7/22: Amended protective order-granted for both Daybell & Vallow. 1/14/22 Update: Motion hearing on 1/27/22 @ 9:30am re motion to extend time for 12(b)(6) filings. Motions hearing on 3/18/22 re Motion to Sever @ 9:30am & Motion to allow additional evidence re: jury @ 11am.
1/27/22 Update: Via Zoom; Judge Boyce, Prosecutor Ron Wood & defense attorney John Prior. Defendant declined to appear. Discussed 2nd motion to extend time; arguments presented by both sides. Prior has gone over 5 days of GJ transcripts. Says good cause for extension & wants 12/31/21 additional GJ transcripts also if it happened. Wood response: 12/31/21 GJ happened but nothing discussed on Daybell case. And the 2nd GJ transcript is not ready, plus Prior waiting past the time limit to ask for the voting sheet. Never filed a motion for this. Prior response: Filed motion for voting sheet in a timely matter. Will file motion for 2nd GJ transcript if there were any witnesses. Judge: Says shown good cause for motion to extend. On 2nd GJ transcript-no indictment so will not extend that. For motion to dismiss: deadline to file is 3/9/22 & motion hearing on 3/23/22 @ 9:30am. Next motions hearing (to sever) @ 9:30am & motions hearing (allow additional evidence re jury) at 11am on 3/18/22.
1/31/22 Update: If Superior Court Judge David Sheridan granted the writ, Judicial Branch court reporter Melodie Moss would have been required to provide Schoenhorn with the transcripts. Instead, Sheridan has dismissed the case, effectively denying Schoenhorn’s writ by siding with the Office of Attorney General William Tong that it was filed in the wrong jurisdiction. “This court lacks jurisdiction to order a mandamus because it would require this court to invalidate a sealing order issued by another Superior Court judge in another case,” Sheridan said. 2/9/22: Defense’s Memorandum in support of Motion to Severance.
2/17/22: Supplement & Disclosure for the State's Motion for the Court to allow additional evidence & follow Idaho Code #19-1816 by transporting a jury. 2/19/22 Update: State motions to sequester the jury & the hearing is set for 3/18/22 at 9:30am. Daybell’s murder trial will be held in Ada County, Idaho on 1/9/23.
3/1/22: Prosecutors present argument on why Daybell’s trial should not be severed from co-defendant Vallow. 26-page objection to the motion to sever. 3/2/22: Maricopa County Attorney’s Office will NOT charge Chad Daybell with conspiring to kill Brandon Boudreaux after “lengthy, careful” review of Gilbert case. Prosecutor still reviewing same charge for Lori Vallow.
3/2/22: Defense's reply to State's Supplement. Excerpt: The Supplement ignores & misconstrues the relevant law, fails to provide the information necessary to compare the costs of a trial in Ada County to a trial in Fremont County, inflates cost estimates through the State’s own costly decisions & fails to even acknowledge Mr. Daybell’s fundamental constitutional rights that would be prejudiced by transporting a jury from Ada County. Apart from the cost debate, JP argues that transporting the jury would result in reducing the jury pool & sequestering it would put pressure on the jurors, which would both be prejudicial for Chad.
3/8/22: Defense's: Motion to seal. Order: Motion to Seal. Motion to Dismiss indictment due to failure to show an impartial Grand Jury. Motion to disqualify Special prosecutor, set aside the indictment & strike the death penalty. Motion to disqualify prosecuting attorney. Motion to disqualify the Out-of-State prosecuting attorney, set aside the indictment & strike the death penalty. Motion for disclosure of homicide & death penalty cases that Rachel Smith has served or worked on Pro Hac Vice or consulting capacity. 3 more Motions to seal orders.
3/14/22 Update: The hearing to allow additional evidence regarding transport or venue transfer to Ada County for the Daybell trial was rescheduled. It was set to happen on 3/18/22 Friday but the State says more information is needed from Ada County officials. New date for this hearing is not decided. Prosecutors had recently shown comparison of costs between transferring venue to Boise or transporting jury members to Fremont. Also a Motion for continuance of the state's motion to reconsider transport or transfer of venue to Ada County. Motion to dismiss hearing on 3/23/22. 3/14/22: 2 Motions to seal (no mention of motion). 3/15/22: Order: to seal. 3/15/22: State's motion to continue hearing on defendant's Motion to Sever-Denied.
