| 0:00.0 | What you know, alibiers, welcome to another episode of Pretty Lies and Alibis. I'm Gigi. It's Friday, June 6th at 1 a.m. I'm just sitting down to record this. It's been a doozy of a day for me, but we are going to knock out day one of the Lori Daybell trial in the attempted murder of Brandon Boudreau. After openings, first on the stand was Brandon Boudreau. |
| 0:22.6 | He says he's 40 and he lives in Arizona and owns a solar company. |
| 0:27.6 | He is currently remarried, but his first marriage was October 31, 2008. |
| 0:33.6 | They were married for over 10 years and share four children. |
| 0:38.3 | He began divorce proceedings in July of 2019 and that was finalized in the middle of October, |
| 0:44.3 | 2019 and that was after the shooting. |
| 0:47.3 | At the time, he had no other family in Arizona. |
| 0:50.3 | Melanese's family lived there and he spent a lot of time with Melanese and Lori and he points Lori out for the jury. |

| 1:44.0 | And in 2019 is when he noticed issues in his |
| 1:47.0 | marriage. And he spoke with Charles about Lori interfering with his marriage on a few occasions. |
| 1:53.7 | On June 25, 2019, he and Melanese had a very long argument. His grandfather had passed away a few days earlier and she didn't want to go to the funeral. |
| 2:04.8 | The same day, Melanie said she was going to reveal things about him, meaning Brandon, and it confused him. |
| 2:11.9 | She accused him of hacking into Lori's computer, which he didn't do. He said they argued for a very long time. It started |
