Summary

Lori Vallow Daybell finally went on trial for the murders of her two children, and husband’s ex-wife. In this episode, we examine the evidence the prosecution and defense presented to a jury. CORRECTION: I mistakenly refer to Tammy Daybell as Chad’s ex-wife, but they never divorced. She was his first wife.  Please subscribe to our other podcast, CIVIL, which covers civil cases and trials.
