The trial of a man charged with the deaths of his wife and his girlfriend’s two youngest children is set to begin in Idaho
The trial of a man charged with the deaths of his wife and his girlfriend's two youngest children is set to begin in Idaho this week, serving as a second act in a bizarre case that has drawn worldwide attention and already resulted in a life sentence for the mother of the children. Chad Daybell's trial is expected to last up to 10 weeks, with jury selection scheduled to get underway in Boise on Monday.
Chad and Lori Daybell originally were scheduled to stand trial together, but in 2022 Prior asked the court to split the cases, saying the co-defendants will have “ mutually antagonistic defenses.” The legal term generally means a jury would have to disbelieve one defendant in order to believe the other. “Our version of the facts of this case will differ greatly from what Ms. Vallow and her legal counsel are going to be presenting,” Prior told the judge, who later agreed to split the cases.
