Chad Daybell Found Guilty of Murdering Wife and Stepchildren
Verdict Concludes Nearly 2-Month Trial
In a verdict that stunned the courtroom, Chad Daybell was found guilty on all counts Thursday for murdering his ex-wife, Tammy Daybell, and his current wife's two youngest children, Joshua "JJ" Vallow and Tylee Ryan.
Bizarre and Tragic Case
The case stems from the mysterious deaths of Tammy Daybell and the two children in 2019, which launched a nationwide manhunt for Daybell and his then-fiancé, Lori Vallow.
The trial has captivated the nation with its bizarre and tragic details, including allegations of religious extremism, doomsday beliefs, and the possible involvement of Vallow, who is facing separate murder charges.
First-Degree Murder and Conspiracy
The jury deliberated for less than two days before reaching a verdict of guilty on all counts. Daybell was convicted of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder in the deaths of JJ and Tylee, and first-degree murder in the death of Tammy Daybell.
Sentencing Pending
Daybell's sentencing is scheduled for August 19, 2023, and he faces a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
The verdict brings a sense of closure to the families of the victims and a grim reminder of the tragic consequences that can arise from extremism and violence.
