Chad Daybell's murder trial with claims about zombies and doomsday plot follows Lori Vallow Daybell's 2023 conviction
CBSN
Opening statements are expected Wednesday in the trial of Chad Daybell, who is charged in Idaho with killing his wife and the two youngest children of his then-girlfriend, Lori Vallow Daybell, in an unusual case rooted in extremist religious beliefs. The trial comes nearly a year after Vallow Daybell was convicted of murdering her children.
The pair was initially set to be tried together, but a judge severed their trials after Daybell waived his right to a speedy trial.
Daybell, 55, is facing charges of first degree murder, insurance fraud, and conspiracy to commit murder and grand theft in connection with the deaths of Tammy Daybell, 7-year-old Joshua "JJ" Vallow and 16-year-old Tylee Ryan. Vallow Daybell received a life sentence without parole for the killings.
