Idaho murder suspect Chad Daybell wants trial delayed, severed from 'doomsday cult' wife Lori Vallow's
Fox News
Chad Daybell is asking for his murder trial to be separated from the murder trial of his wife, Lori Vallow. Both are accused of murdering Vallow's children in 2019.
Daybell initially filed a motion to separate his case from his wife's in 2021, which the court denied in March citing three potential sources for prejudice. The murder suspect's lawyers argued that the court's reasoning was an incorrect application of Idaho law. Audrey Conklin is a digital reporter for FOX Business and Fox News.

"Mr. Daybell moves to sever his trial from that of his co-defendant based on the change in circumstances over the [10] months since he last moved to sever and due to the previous application of an improper legal standard," his counsel wrote in their motion to sever filed Tuesday.
