Lindsey Blake did great during this trial. She is a rockstar.
Yep! Compare her to Lally (yaaaawwwwnnnn) in the Karen Read trial! She is ON FIRE and he’s, umm …. somewhere ….?
Lindsey Blake class brains knowledge articulation can't be bought.
Did you know Lindsey represented Lori Vallow in her sentencing trial?
♥️ her!
I agree. An absolutely amazing attorney. She doesn’t miss a beat that’s for sure. She’s definitely going places!
The world will be a better place when we don’t have to worry about Chad giving a patriarchal blessing to anyone ever again.
Or ever having to hear about “loin fires” again 🤢
Agree or the storm. Sadly every time someone mentions a Storm is coming or the word Portal I have PTSD. It will take awhile!
Or being victim to John Prior’s arrogance and tone again…
@@showkitties3844my husband overheard that phrase and gave me the most “wtf??” face I’ve ever seen 😭😭 I wish I could unhear that 🥴
Daybells going to get some serious attention in prison unless they keep him in isolation. He's a child killer, he murdered his wife, he's soft, and he's nuts. They don't like any of that "inside."
How could they not convict him of every charge after a closing like this. Lindsey was terrific!
Lindsey Blake ROCKED it today!
I wonder what Chad is thinking as he was being dethroned from all his "righteousness." It was something to behold to watch grown adults follow this chubby flunk as they engaged in spiritual LARPING - and to deadly effect. I hope Garth and Emma are pursued for perjury.
“Spiritual larping” is such a good way to put it. I always thought of it as Mormon Dungeons and Dragons.
“Spiritual LARPING” great phrase.
Spiritual Larping, well put. There was a lot of that going on at BYU when I was there. (I was there the same year as Chad; I didn't know the guy though). Some people obviously got carried away.
I think they might be scared....they know what happens to children in their cult...
As re Garth and Emma, I agree wholeheartedly.
Prior made a mistake! You don’t yell and become aggressive with that poor jury, and scolded them that they needed to decide only on the facts!! They already heard that from prosecution and judge!
Prior, in my opinion has negative charisma… in other words NONE. I despised him way back when, and it took me all of 30 seconds to dislike him. Darnell did himself no favor in choosing this sleazy attorney, and the payoff will be when this jury convicts him, which I have no doubt that they will.
The only persons more despicable than Daybell in that courtroom was Prior and Daybell’s daughter, who came off as arrogant, and clearly doing her best to lie for her monster of a father. I hope she’ll be charged with perjury… maybe that will knock her down a few pegs. At the very least, all of the parents of the children she and her equally despicable husband should demand that neither of them have any contact with their children, or for that matter, ANY children. Their wacky belief system is right in line with Chad’s, and that alone makes both of them a danger to any children they come in contact with… including their own children.
He’s desperate, so he’s succumbed to intimidation tactics 😂😂😂 I have remained unbiased throughout this trial. I’m one of a few that supports prior and understands he’s just doing his job. With that being said, that was the weakest close I’ve ever heard. But then again his defense is terrible and they were climbing up a steep hill from the beginning with all that evidence against chad.
@@frankjarvie643piggy backing on what I just said- 99% of viewers are biased against prior just because he’s defending Chad. Y’all crucified him on day one and have never stopped. Defense lawyers aren’t supposed to be likable. Those lawyers don’t win. It’s fair to say they shouldn’t be super unlikable either- or rather, offensive to the jury. And I don’t think prior has been TOO bad, altho obnoxious at times. If jurors find Chad guilty because they don’t lie prior, they have no business being jurors (and god help them in day to day life too). Prior has done a decent job considering he has an impossible case. He mentioned Tammy’s weight because it supports his argument that she died bc she wasn’t healthy. But you guys got offended by that too. I come to Peter because it’s a break from all the biased input ppl have been spewing for weeks now. It’s refreshing.
@@kateashby3066 I don’t care about whether or not the jury is supposed to decide on guilt or innocence without considering the likability of the defense council, because every member of that jury is a human being and if the defense council is so obnoxious, as I found Prior to be, whether they admit it or not, it absolutely can be a factor in their decision. Right or wrong, it cannot be denied that the likability may very well be a factor in the jury’s decision.
And by the way, I’m 82 years old, I’m an intelligent and educated individual, so I while I understand your point, I don’t need you to school me. I can actually come to a logical conclusion all on my own, and if you don’t agree, that’s entirely on you. Lecturing me does nothing to change my opinion that Prior made no friends with this jury. In fact, there was just one thing that this jury may have appreciated that Prior said, and that was when he made that little slip when he referred to Tammy Daybell’s death as a murder.
As for how well he did in defending Dsybell, I think he did the best he could with what he had to work with, but he asked a little of questions he didn’t know the answer to, and too many times, in my opinion, his questions to one or more witnesses were argumentative, and I don’t think for a minute that that escaped the jury’s attention. His fatal mistake, again, in my opinion was putting Daybell’s daughter on the stand, who not only came off as unlikeable, and a liar, but her comment about her father not liking dogs did her father no favors. There’s an old assumption that many, if not most, dog owners have about people who don’t like dogs and the assumption is that anyone who doesn’t like dogs has something wrong with them. So Daybell better hope that every one of those jurors dislikes dogs as much as he does.
Bottom line for me. I’ve seen a whole lot of defense attorneys do a much better job than Prior, and again, if you think that his likability isn’t going to play into the jury’s decision, conscious or not, you’re fooling yourself.
In Trump’s New York criminal trial, both Trump and his attorney, I have no doubt, were disliked by by the jury, and it’s not going to play well for Trump.
Way back when, Clarence Darrow, in defending the Leopold and Leob murder trial, his goal wasn’t to defend the indefensible by claiming that the boys were innocent… his goal was simply to keep the boys from facing the death penalty.
Again, just my opinion, but Prior, instead of trying to prove Daybell’s innocence, which I saw as an impossible task, might have taken a clue from Darrow, and instead of defending the indefensible, instead, work to save Daybell from the death penalty. I don’t doubt that there are very few people in this country who have from the beginning, held on to the belief that Daybell was 100% guilty.
One final thought. I did not crucify Prior simply because he defended Daybell. My dislike of him was simple based on the fact that his demeanor came across as arrogant, and to me, that was never going to bode well for him or his client. So your claim that we all crucified Prior because he defended Daybell is, in my opinion, an assumption based on your own bias.
@@frankjarvie643 you are on point about human beings not being able to be unbiased. They can try and may believe they are with their conscious mind, but the conscious mind is not where our decisions are made no matter how much we believe we have all that free will. It's the information in our subconscious mind, that has been gained in all our years of living, that determines all our conscious decisions.
Question: why when Tammy was shot at it was a paint ball gun, but Prior stated Chad was the target, then it became a rifle?
Oh my gosh what a good point!
😲 I didn't even notice that! Good catch!
Exactly! JP was scrambling & didn’t check himself.
Nice catch
Oh yes, that was the CRAZIEST sleight of hand.
If I didn’t know this was real, and someone told me about the dark/light/percentages/zombies, I’d laugh in their face. This is so disturbing and so extremely sad for Tammy and the kids .
So gross and vicious!
I just heard a Christian call Chad “demonic”. As absurd as Chad’s dark scale is- it’s no more absurd than calling ppl “possessed” or “demonic”. (Playing devil’s advocate)
So guilty! My mind is made up.
Disturbing for the kids??? The kids are part of it, they decided to get up and lie for Chad. They are just as guilty. No emotions at all from them.
@Blessed...CountryIt is absolutely childish and batsh*t crazy. These two forgot "...Though Shalt not Kill." They were too busy playing God, so incredibly deluded and vain, fueled by lust. Their minds were gonzo.
Just get the damn divorce, people.
And no indication that he looked into a divorce.
No kidding! Repeatedly partners, spouses, b/f, g/f & domestic partners mur****d instead of simply separating from each other.⚖️😖
Dead beats need money.
They always think they won’t get caught.
He was a lazy ass with no real job or career. Same for his goddess Lori.
In Chad’s own words
“I’m not coming back”
Guilty Guilty Guilty
Exactly! Out of his own mouth he was telling his daughter of his guilt.
Agree
Exactly! I think he dont belive his own bs, but use it to manipulate to get what he want., and "high" up him self.
Ironic, a god-complex., and obsess abouth death from he be young.
@@laila-holm exactly he only had one thing on his mind, and he was willing to do whatever it took. Four people died, no murdered because of his sick fantasy.
@@9eyeswideopen Yes, - so sad
It's not possible for us understand a so twisted mind.
❤️❤️❤️❤️ For the four beautiful, good and loved by sooo many, and ❤️ to everybody who,'s gonna miss them rest their lifes
Guilty on all charges!!!
Prior was so disrespectful to the jury in his final argument it was painful to watch. It didn't do Chad any favors.
Absolutely. He was basically yelling at them to do what HE wanted them to do… ugh. So disgraceful and disrespectful to the jury, court, and victims.
He had no empathy for the jury and they need it.
Completely disrespectful! He treated them like they were children. Like they were ignorant. I would be ashamed of myself if I were him.
He has been a prick the whole trial. Very unlikeable.
Couldn't watch Prior's closing because of different time zones.
Need to rewatch it, disrespectful prick and all.
Lindsey Blake went over every detail in detail because she wants Chad nailed on every charge with no wiggle room.
Prosecutor Blake pulled a complex story together brilliantly. Her timeline was clear. Her evidence was placed where it needed to be. Blake repeated the key underlying facts crucial to prove the conspiratorial nature of the case, like “Lori believed Chad 100%” “Alex believed Chad 100%”. “These ideas came from Chad”. Each pronouncement was followed by evidence. Wow! Blake pulled it all together and made the story both compelling and believable…..I could walk along those steps which led to three murders right along with her. Prior to the closing, I worried a little that the story was so complex, it would be difficult to condense it in a way that could be followed by a jury hearing it all for the first time. Blake accomplished her mission. Impressive!
1000% Guilty! He knew his goose was cooked when they arrested him after finding the kids on his property. HIS words to Emma "I'm not coming back."
That said it all. He knew he was guilty. He never once said he was innocent. If he were innocent he would have shown disbelief that those children were buried on his property. Instead he tells his daughter, "I won't be coming back." Why would he say that if he were innocent.
@debbiekulka7368 Exactly!! GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS! And I bet Lori feels like an idiot now. She didn't throw Chad under the bus but Prior had no problem throwing her under the bus, backing up and running her over again! I'll be curious to see if word gets out that Lori has changed her tune!
100%!!!!
@makeupdatewithjacki8959 Chad will convince Lori that he had to use the tactic of throwing her under the bus to try to save himself from the death penalty. She'll buy it hook, line and sinker.
I'll bet Lorri agreed for Chad to go with that defense. She is well aware of what he was going to use to try and get him off or take the DP off the table.@@makeupdatewithjacki8959
Lindsey Blake is Idahos answer to Camille Vasquez
Or Florida's Georgia Cappleman! GREATNESS!
Even their voice in my opinion!
She comes across even more likeable to me.
@@BabaByTheSea I think Cappleman is better at controlling the intonation and cadence with her voice to enhance the context, and has a relatively greater presence in terms of authority, but Blake is also almost right up there for me, both are absolute superstars.
What nailed it for me is that Emma never asked Chad why he was being arrested.
She makes this complex trial comprehensive.
This has been a fairly long trial. So many twists and turns. I think Lindsay Blake did a phenomenal job on closing. Her closing may have been long but she made it a refresher course in case anything was forgotten or overlooked by the jury.
She did phenomenal- I agree. She had to present information on 3 murders and conspiracy. A lot and deserves a respectful time.
Prior was so condescending to the jury it,was disgusting!
And insulting, absolutely 💯
agreed, he was such a bully - grrrr
I agree...when talking to the jury he should have been more gentle, _pleading_ voice maybe...not that it would matter! Chad is soooo guilty! These men that let their little head speak to them to this degree is beyond understanding.
I provided volunteer dog therapy to the Ada county prosecutors office last week it was one of our best visits this year
Bless you and your Angel pup!!!
🙏 you and your pup!
That is wonderful that you & your pups provided such a beneficial service to the prosecution team. Some of the jurors are probably going to also need it when this is over.
My fondest hope is for Lori to spend the rest of her miserable life in prison knowing that part of his defense was that she was out to kill Chad for money. Oh, and that he isn't going to text her from the great beyond.
She is spending the rest of her life in prison
If there is a god, I really would want to be a fly on the wall and listen to that conversation before he sends chads ass to hell.
@@yuzuyoshiroe5673 - I understand why you feel that way, but, honestly, once we're dead, all of us will be more concerned with being judged and all that.
@@Bevaboo you missed my point, but OK.
There is no God in hell --
I love how Blake said homicides are always open, referring to Chad’s involvement in Charles’ death!!!
That was a good comment by Blake.
Yes! Make sure that smug man has to worry even more! Excellent psychological move made by Lindsey Blake! She “turned the pain up to 10” on Chad with that comment, and he deserves it!
She also ignores Emma 's testimony. Which is the right thing to do
I noticed that, and agree! How to say Emma’s testimony was worthless, without saying it was worthless!
Lindsay Blake addressed Emma and basically called her a liar, by reminding the jury what she said regarding a few issues - then reminded the jury her testimony was contested by other evidence. It was brilliant!
Lindsey Blake's closing argument was amazing! It may have been long, but there were over 60 witnesses and a lot of information. It is my understanding that the prosecution talked with the jurors after Lori's Vallow Daybell's trial about what they could do better. Their main request was a timeline linking all of the information together. I believe Lindsey Blake did a great job connecting the actions, phone calls, locations, and texts together. I hope there is a verdict tomorrow (Thursday), but I believe it will be announced by Friday.
There is so much information to discuss that I wouldn’t be surprised if it takes them a few days to reach a verdict, but it would be awesome if they reach their verdict as quickly as you are predicting.
The little things seal the deal she was right to keep them in.
Chad should write another book: “ How to be a stupid murderer”
Racoons are very intelligent, Chad should ask them for help 👍🏼
How will we catch criminals when they get smart about cell phones
😄
Guilty as hell;
... but then, I've had four years to process all the evidence... this jury only had 30 days
marcus
Me too. I’ve been on this for four years. Causing physical pain to innocent children! How could Lori ever trust this sick, evil, man. She is as sick as he is. I can’t wait until her Arizona trial. The death penalty is possible in Arizona. Both of these sickos might be together in the afterlife sooner than they imagine.
I’ve considered that too. But there’s a LOT of evidence that is extremely incriminating and easy to understand once you understand the main players (Alex, lori, Chad, then Tammy and the kids as the victims). They just need to simplify it, discuss it, and find him guilty. I have no doubt they will get there, at LEAST on the conspiracy charge.
That's what worries me after O. J. and Casey Anthony.
Love the prosecution. Prior looks like he's ready to quit after this.
@Wulfe156 , yeah, talk about hitching your horse to a wagon of BULL 💩
I thought Lindsay Blake was fantastic!
At this point, any doubts I might have as a juror would be unreasonable. Lindsay Blake did a fabulous job of dispelling any doubts.
TOTALLY AGREE 💯
I didn’t think it was possible … but the evidence against Chad is more damning than was the evidence against Lori. Hearing Chad’s actions summarized today proper enraged me. Ms. Blake brought it. She reminded me of Camille Vazquez.
Agree. I was a bit more nervous about the State's case against LV. There was no room in this prosecution's case for reasonable doubt. Zero.
I have ADHD and thanks to verbal processing issues it's often hard for me to focus on people talking on one subject for long periods of time. The fact that Lindsey Blake was able to mostly hold my attention for as long as she did speaks to how well I think she presented her argument. By contrast, John Prior's argument had me zoning out multiple times and by the end of it I could hardly make heads or tails of what he'd even said
PRIOR threw POO at a wall to distract the jury lying "Chad was Alex & Lori's true target not Tammy! We dont know where Chad was, he deleted his location! It's a police conspiracy! Melanie Gibb did it! The shovels were mixed up! Dead racoon! 15 witnesses said Tammy was healthy but her kids said she was fat & cheated her fitbit steps & their dad performs exorcisms, but who are we to judge!? This is his defense !? It's embarrassing! MAYBE ALEX DID KILL & BURY the KIDS ON CHAD'S LAND but CHAD still said "LORI'S DAUGHTER IS DEAD" & WROTE "NO KIDS" ON RENTAL FORMS BEFORE they found their bodies proving HE KNEW they had been MURDERED, and "PREDICTED" HIS WIFE'S DEATH, LIED ABOUT WHEN & HOW SHE DIED & insisted TAMMY'S COLD CORPSE MAGICALLY JUMPED OFF THE BED & keep in mind that ALEX's PHONE was located near CHAD'S WHEN TAMMY DIED & then CHAD REFUSED AN AUTOPSY, RUSHED THE FUNERAL & RAN OFF TO MARRY LORI & when he was arrested, he said "Im going away for a long time" proving conclusively he is GUILTY of CONSPIRING to MURDER at the very least, his wife, while ignoring the kids buried in his backyard!
His expression of no remorse irks me soooo much
Except when Prior was trying to sell him as the intended victim. Then he tried to look all distraught, sick
First time that I’m seeing everyone in agreement of a trial. Love it! Justice for Tylee, JJ, Tammy and Charles!
Lindsey Blake is a rockstar. She’s phenomenal
NOTICE: When Blake starts in about the fact that Tylee was burned LOOK AT CHADBELL as Blake mentions this and see how he SMILES! PURE EVIL!!!
He 100% is smiling there …to me it’s more than a smirk!
@@phoenixrising1305I’ve noticed any time Tylee’s brutal murder is brought up his face lights up, it’s horrendous but I think he gets off on the memories.
He look like he tried to hold back the smile and just coildn’t. I hope the jury noticed that too. 🤢🤮
I noticed this as well.
It was terrifying to watch him smile, I thought I was seeing things
Chad's body language is very obvious he has smirked shook his head smiled even raised eyebrows most I've ever seen from him.
It's to late to engage Chad. That bus has left the station !!
He crossed his arms while defence talked at the end.
I did not agree with Lawyer Lee about Prior doing a great job. I like her but I have noticed a trend that she is always very careful to criticize or have negative opinion of a defense attorney, such as Dan Rashbaum. I thought Prior was insulting to the jury's intelligence, outrageous, lied, twisted situations, mislead the jury, blamed and insulted law enforcers in a very disrespectful way. He blamed, LE, racoon, Melanie Gibbs, David Warwick, Lori Vallow, Alex Cox, and called all of Tammy's school friends liars, and it went on and on... IT WAS DISGUSTING!
I think Lee is careful not to challenge the defense’s competence, because she doesn’t want to open up any possibility for an appeal due to an incompetent defense.
He couldn't decide who to blame so anyone and everyone other than Chad did it. I think the raccoon was the ringleader and brainwashed alllll of Chad's followers to start following him instead. They all conspired to get Chad framed. Even the sweet ladies Tammy was blessed to work with. This case makes my blood BOIL!
Lee’s interpretation of a good job is to be taken in the context where the evidence is so overwhelming, he did the « best » he could do giving the circumstances.
I wasn’t upset by Prior’s defense closing considering what he had to work with. Trying to sow a seed of doubt was his only hope. Futile, I hope!
I think DR is the worst defense lawyer I have seen, besides Prior.
Blake was in private practice when Lori was tried. Came to Idaho ran for office and won a assistant DA position
Blake was the Deputy Prosecutor in Teton County and prior to that position she was a public defender in Bannock County for six years. She worked in private practice at the start of her career in Wyoming.
@@LuvMyTatorsI think Lindsy and Geprgia Capaland (?) are two of the best I seen in last 6 years.
@@judygillespie3242 Cappleman has been involved in some of the Florida’s toughest and most high-profile cases; I didn’t realize that Lindsey Blake is only in her mid-30s - very impressive in the Courtroom.
Gratitude for sharing that! Idaho won GOLD🏆 when they elected Lindsay Blake.
I agree with all the above regarding LB. The irony is apparently JM and his father voted for her
The State hit it out of the park
Guilty and offended by the defense closing. Should not keep saying Chad is trad LDS, should not resort to 1st Amendment argument, Should not talk to the jury like they are too dumb to understand, should not point a finger at the prosecution, should not fat shame Tammy, and should not try to convince the jury that law enforcement is lazy in such a complex case with dead kids.
Horrible Prior saying that Chad is practicing 'traditional Mormon' beliefs. Unbelievable!
All of this + basically hollering at the jury to make the choice he wants them to make. So out of pocket and beyond.
I too was irritated he said Chad was traditional LDS. He took 1 tiny seed of LDS doctrine and perverted into 100% BS. There is NO LDS doctrine anywhere in his beliefs.
“Since the establishment of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1830, 17 men have served as the president of the Church.
Latter-day Saints consider each of these men to be prophets who received revelation from God.”
Guilty guilty guilty. I don't think Lindsey Blake was too long. If I were a juror, I'd be taking strong notes as she lead them to what evidence would support her statements. I would want that and to review that before I decided guilty. There is so much evidence to think about and review that I would want to know where to go to help me decide. Prior was WAY to long, especially after saying he was gonna be quick. Did not help Chad's case at all. I'd be pissed as a juror if he spoke to me like that. I don't do well with that style and I don't think many do. I know he was trying to defend the undefendable, but have some class.
I still can't get over how people believe in zombies 🙄🙄🙄
I absolutely love your analysis and thoughts, Peter!! This is gonna sound so cheesey, but i feel incredibly blessed to have access to such amazing professionals, like yourself!! Social media certainly has its cons, but you and your knowledge and experience are definitely a PRO!! Thank you so much for breaking this stuff down for us and teaching us how the law works!! I got to be a juror in a murder case in Colorado in 2019 and it completely changed my perspective on the legal system and how lucky we are to live in a Country where we have the system we do. Its not perfect by any means, but it's still better than most. I've learned so much from you, and I hope you know that what you do is extremely valuable! You add so much to the world by sharing your education, knowledge, and passion with all of us, and I truly appreciate you, Peter, and everyone at the LYK family🤗
I live in Idaho. I have been following this case since the news of the kids missing. I believe that Chad is guilty. He killed his wife and he participated in the murders of JJ and Tylee. I believe he had Lori and Alex's help.
Lori is in Prison for life and Alex is dead. It's time for Chad to be held accountable for his actions.
And the trials will still continue in Arizona for Charles murder. Personally, Tylee's father's death needs to be looked into as with Chads neighbor. I think Chad and Lori or Zulema killed Alex because he knew too much. It could be suicide but they bullied him to do it and that's murder in my eyes. Lori and Chad should be under a prison, not in one. Both are terrifying. How many people would have died if they hadn't been caught? At least 2 of Melanie's kids had, what, a day left? Oh, and Melanie's ex husband, that was attempted murder. They need to be prosecuted for that. Too many people were affected badly by these 2. Anyone think they can change if they went through some kind of therapy? I guess it doesn't matter. They should not ever leave prison. 😊
Chad also said "he was the HOLY Ghost.."
THAT IS BLASPHEMY... AND IT IS Mocking GOD
Lawyer Lee and Nate Eaton have been careful to be 100% non partisan. I actually think that Prior tried his best with what he had. At least he gave it his best shot, unlike Lori’s attorneys. That doesn’t make him likeable but he did his job which was to poke holes in the prosecution’s case. He had nothing else to offer. He must be exhausted.
💯
I agree. I actually feel sorry for Prior. He had absolutely nothing to work with. He knew it back in January when he requested to be removed as Chad lawyer.
There were times, it seems like he actually helped the Prosecution by highlighting their evidence. His only arsenal was to create confusion.
I agree 100%. I don't like him at all but Chad can be grateful he had a defense attorney who actually made a case for him and tried his best to sow reasonable doubt, which is his job and is provided to Chad by our constitution. We can be against it but it is a basic right. Chad will be found guilty I am sure but he did have effective counsel.
I watched the entire closing argument in real time and was deeply appreciative of the detailed recap with timeline. I have gotten lost in the crazy “who what why when”, and hearing all of that was powerful and mind-blowing. I only think it was “too long” because I had to go to work. If I was on the jury I would have appreciated it
Thank you Peter for continuing to keep us updated on this trial. 💗 I look forward to hearing your insights and expertise on what transpired in court today.
Lynsey Blake’s closing argument speech was nothing short of superb.
Lindsey Blake wove the narrative of Chads evilness together like a fine tapestry 🎯
A juror from LV’s trial said they wished the attorneys had used a timeline so I think they changed things this time in closing arguments
The state did a wonderful job with demonstrative exhibits in this closing
Thank you for all your hard work and for keeping it impartial during all the cases you cover...even K.R.!
Same, I really appreciate lyk too!
Peter’s integrity is admirable and I too appreciate his unbiased coverage of these cases and trials! 🫶🏽
100%
Ms. Blake rocked it!
My opinion the state brought it home 🏡 lindsay is an amazing prosecutor and i adore this judge .
This is one ill never forget
Charles tammy JJ and tylee will forever be in my thoughts considering the gravity of these Heinous crimes the court handle the case with dignity and honesty
‘Reason to scream’ fueled Chad’s next sentence of love for Lori. Perversion.
Lindsey did a good job today.
I hope the people surrounding these two murderers who are culpable get investigated.
Guilty. Prosecution has proven its case beyond a reasonable doubt.
Lindsey Blake is so easy to listen to!!
I was a juror once. The prosecuting attorney sounded like a whiny mom. Lindsey Blake is on the other end of the spectrum.
@@garthg.6150hopefully you dont end up on another jury
The way that the prosecutor presented the closing also shows her knowledge of just how emotionally and physically draining this trial has been on the jurors. Show the facts and understand that they have taken notes both physically and mentally.
She dis a great job of telling the full story, connecting all the dots with facts and evidences. At the same time, she was able to inject just enough outrage to make you feel it in your gut.
I couldn't believe Chud sat there shaking his head during the prosecution closing...he had his chance to testify and didn't
I’ve watched every single minute of the trial. When Blake ended the closing statement, I would 💯 vote guilty! After hearing the defense closing and the state’s rebuttal, my is not changed at all! Lauren from Hidden True Crime, said that some jurors were crying when she went over the children being murdered and found.
Fellow Hidden Gem here & I too have watched the whole trial (save for Jury selection week 😅). When Prior was hollering at the jury during his closing arguments today, I was absolutely cringing & thinking of the Juror(s) who Lauren said were crying at points during Blake’s closing… and there was Prior, basically yelling at the poor jury after they had been shedding true tears of sadness.
Very interesting! Chad shook his head "No"at least 5-6 times whenever Ms. Blake used the combination of "dark" and "has to die."
I hope after this trial, I never hear the word loin again!!!😂
Or storm. Storm.... Lol more like a fine mist. I just can't even imagine... Lol
I don't think that Ms. Blake's closing argument was too long. I was riveted to what she was saying the entire time. I was surprised when you said that she spoke for 2 hours. IMO, it was 2 hours of pure gold.
So Prior tries to say that Chad was Lori’s next victim so she could get money. But they weren’t married when the attempted shooting happened. If Chad was the target, the money would have gone to Tammy. Prior is really grasping.
I thought the same thing.
He forgot they weren't married. He got so many things wrong.
We are getting so much content today!! Love it 😊
Dude, you are the best in knowledge, compassion and humor. Much respect to you, sir.
Dang Peter! 2 LIVES & a premiere!!
I liked the way she did it because it was clear & concise of explaining the motives & the definition of what conspiracy is. All roads lead to BOTH Lori & Chad.
Chad looks creepier today than I have seen him look before. It almost seemed enjoyable for him to hear his accomplishments. Him shanking his head and mouthing things should not be allowed. He could have testified - he said no, so that should stop. Figured he would find a wimpy way to do it though. Gross.
I agree
I think he thinks he is getting off.
Can’t wait to hear about this one.
I can't help analyzing Priors body language while sitting by Chad during Prosecution closing arguments. He is not looking at Chad and keeps inching his chair away from him.
At one point (I think he was looking in his bag) it looked like was was crawling away under the table.
Guilty. Especially after watching all of closing arguments
❤
They stop chatting about death percentages after the children were last known alive, and for Tammy too? No more readings after death?
PRYOR lies and also tries to confuse the issue hoping to confuse one juror to take his side.
GUILTY
First closing was great. I’m glad for the jurors.
I thought the prosecution did an amazing job. The closing arguments were very well done. It was a lot of information to tie together. I’m glad Blake did the closing
Me too, delivered by a strong and confident woman. He loathes women, especially those that don't fawn over him.
Just the right amount of time. This is the most complicated case I’ve ever followed. I think Lindsey did an excellent job laying everything out in an understandable manner!
I’ve watched a LOT of trials over the last few years, and Lindsey Blake’s closing was probably the best I’ve ever seen. She makes this Idahoan proud!
I wish all prosecutors could be like Mrs. Blake. She is phenomenal on just about every aspect. Engaging, knowledgeable, ethical. I LOVE to see this
Blake crushed it today. I agree w Peter that we'll likely have a verdict by end of the week and my guess is guilty.
Lindsey Blake did a fantastic job in her closing driving home the main points of the case, while reminding people how heinous Chad and Lori were to CHILDREN!!! You were right, it did make my blood boil. I would 100% be able to convict on conspiracy.
Yes, he enticed, commanded, encouraged the actions of Alex and Lori.
For a jury it was not to long. I loved that everything was laid out so perfectly! That she used Prior’s witness to say how Tylee died. What a blunder on Prior’s part.
It makes me sick 🤢 that chads kids committed purgery I hope they have consequences as well
It makes me sick that they were raised to defend Chad at all cost and talk about their own mom like they did. Chad has to know they his kids could be charged with lying and go to jail for him. I can't imagine any parent that would sit back and let that happen. They didn't have to testify right?
I love how Pryor throws Lori under the bus about lying to the cops on the wellness check EXCEPT when she says she's going to go live with Melanie Gibb, it's all of the sudden gospel truth
It's ALWAYS a woman's fault, according to Chad and Prior. Tammy (too fat, too vanilla), Lori (too promiscuous, too many husbands, too tempting to Chad), Heather (pot stirrer) etc.
Lawyer You Know, You're the best! I just had to subscribe!
I heard there were a couple jurors that kept closing their eyes during closing statements for defense
I love her closing arguments! I personally am happy she was so thorough and took the time she spent laying all of it out for the jury. The time line and explanation of instructions. As a jury member, I would have needed that. I have been following since the beginning because he was in the same lds mission I served in and creeped me out. And still hearing all the evidence presented to jury in lori’s case and this one and all the stuff on line… this brought it all together for me and got me to the point that I could not, not believe he was 100 million percent evil and beyond guilty. I already believed but I needed to feel that the jury would believe. It was beautiful.
Also, why on earth are they just now closing the blinds behind Chad and Prior?!?! So much better!!
Even though zooming in on them through out the trial has been a bit grainy, you could see the arrogance on both of their faces. This is the first time I can see prior looking scared, worried, and concerned that there is nothing he can do to persuade the jurythat chad is innocent. I believe the reason prior tried to be released as Chad’s lawyer was because he knew there was no case. He had nothing he could use to defend Chad. As much as I have hated prior and his mean horrible bully tactics, he fought hard for Chad and no one can say Chad didn’t get, the representation required for a fair trial. Im sad for his kids.
Guilty on all counts, Prior was all over the place and the idea that Chad was a victim was disgusting. Blake did a great job!
Guilty beyond any doubt, not a shrewd of even unreasonable doubt.
😅😮
JP referred to chad as husband 5 😂😂😂
I was concerned when John focused on the jurors instructions, however he eventually lost his way and Lindsay brought it home with her final close, verdict GUILTY
I think Lindsay Blake was powerful. She does not need to raise her voice to be effective and her silences let the words sit perfectly. I didn't feel it long, there was a lot to expose and she wasn't boring we needed a recap and I liked it a lot
He’s 100% guilty IMO. Lindsey’s closing was powerful!
Giving the timeline made it all more visible ..
It is wild what people convince themselves to believe in.
Very grateful for Lawyer You Know’s analysis! It is always concise, factual, drama free! 🙏💙
I think her closing was fantastic.
