TRIAL OF CHAD DAYBELL CHARGED WITH MURDER OF JJ VALLOW, TYLEE RYAN AND TAMMY DAYBELL #2

[alexwood]

Wow, Tammy told her coworker that Chad called her a zombie. (This is from the motion in limine hearing currently taking place.) Like Tylee, Tammy replied that she was no zombie. In relation to her health, Tammy told another coworker that she was feeling the best ever.

Yes. She laughed it off, according to the witness. Tammy said that she was looking forward to the 5K race that she had planned on running.
I sure hope Judge Boyce rules favorably (for the prosecution) on these motions. At any rate, we will know tomorrow, Thursday, 25 April 2025, at 8:30am (MDT). The jury will not be present, but will will arrive at 9am (MDT).

I missed a lot of the testimony today but I think JP did a pretty good job of suggesting the reason TD increased her life insurance at work a month before she was murdered was because she wasn’t eligible for the larger amount sooner - hadn’t worked their long enough to increase it before she did. If I was on the jury I think I could buy that. But wasn’t there a 2nd life insurance policy? Where and when did that come to be? Anyone know the details?

That was the second policy, the "Life Map" policy, was made available to her through her work. It was increased from $50,000 to $130,000. The 1st policy was a "Primamerica" (sp?) life insurance policy. The value of that policy was $300,000. [Please correct me if I have this wrong!]

I'm getting a headache. But now . . . it's Miller Time! (So to speak)

Tammy Daybell's life insurance policy that was to be increased was "term life," if I am not mistaken. Why, with all of the children (except one) out of the house and on their own, would it be necessary to increase her life insurance at that point? She was close to retirement. If she were to die, sure, Chad may have had to get off his lily pad and get a real job -- but no children would be neglected or go hungry with the loss of Tammy and her income brought on by her death. No nannies, or housekeepers would have to be hired at added expense -- without the benefit of Tammy's income -- to take care of any children.

Excellent point. Term life is usually to protect income, usually through the wage earning years while minor children need support.

MOO

It is pretty obvious that Emma is going to be a "star witness" for the defense. JP keeps referring back to her. It just makes me sad.

I hope Lindsay Blake does the cross.

I hope Lindsay Blake does the cross.

Yes. She is far more powerful and direct in court than Wood.

 

[mickey2942]

Is having large life insurance policies a norm? It didn't seem like the Daybell family had a lot of extra cash to pay for life insurance policies.

I would be interested in the amount of life insurance CD had on him.

I hope Lindsay Blake does the cross.

I have a feeling she will. Not only is she the most qualified to do the cross on Emma, but usually when there is a female witness like this, a female attorney (if available) will be the one doing the cross.

That is interesting. I think JP would be more effective with a female co counsel too, because his cross of the women today, came off as arrogant and condescending. He mentioned the word "fat" in regards to Tammy Daybell several times today.

I'm going to send him a case of "Slim-Fast" and also a case of "Ayds." These were weight loss products ca. 1970-1980. Although they may no longer be manufactured, I'm sure I could locate some "vintage" leftovers on eBay.

 

[Caylee Advocate]

Let me ask everyone a question,
Do you think Prior's attitude, his aggressive manner in which he questions the prosecution's witnesses, do you think this type of behavior turns off the jury?

ABSOLUTLY!!!!

Didn't Prior have past“issues” with a woman?

 

[TigerLou]

If by “past issues” you mean he couldn’t keep his hands to himself like a gentleman should then and caught a charge then yes.

 

[Caylee Advocate]

JP is a jerk. He is now bringing up that Tammy was "fat"!!! She didn't look "fat" in any pictures!!!

That's probably how Chud the Dud referred to her. GRRRR.

 

[Pipersand]

Yes!!! Tammy's troop had their ducks in a row and came in today with flying colours!!!! All did SO WELL!!!!

And (in my opinion) JP lost all credibility with this jury when he stopped the dispatch calls before "gun or rifle" was actually stated. That is going to be a tough hurdle for him to overcome.

 

[alexwood]

I have heard tell that he did. Sexual harassment, perhaps. Don't know the details.

Well, as we know, nobody could compare to the "Goddess" -- what with her bought and paid for breast implants. (Curious, though, I didn't think breast implants could "shrink". Hers sure look like they did.)

Also in this hearing, Annie Cushing is now Tylee's victim representative instead of Summer Shiflet from Lori's trial

It’s about time.

 

[Love Never Fails]

I have heard tell that he did. Sexual harassment, perhaps. Don't know the details.

I think it was sexual battery and he said she wanted it. Typical. I read that on a thread on East Idaho News when this trial began. Can’t state it as fact.

 

[Love Never Fails]

Court TV is making me so mad - they keep calling Brenda Dye the ME on this case instead of the coroner. They are jumping all over how bad she did on the stand.

They got it half right.

I will be so happy when the real ME takes the stand. Also prosecution was soft today. They will get beat if they don’t step up their game. Prior is no pushover. I think they underestimated his desire to win.
