It's hard for a mother, to have to testify in her son's murder trial. There is a balance she has to make, since he is her son. Who would willingly give up lots of info? I don't know if she can see the truth. I think the marriage was strange to them, just 2 weeks after Tammy's death. No mother wants to believe their son is a murderer.
And to make matters worse, he was her first born. I would expect a mother to have extra protective instincts toward the first baby because she is experiencing the whole thing fresh… certainly not experienced in testifying at child’s murder trial…
Mom Daybell was made to call the new woman, Lori, a harlot. Mom Daybell’s poor innocent son, she was guided to say, was just fumbling around with his hormones learning how to be a man.
I dont like her testimony...I think she could have done more... to me, she looks like a typical Mormon lady who was always silent in her home and couldn't speak her truth... and also she still obviously loves his mad son..

Heather was one of the few that knew chucky was OFF. Even asking him not to move close, he did ,walking distance. Moms careful and not helping his case.
Im glad she apologized to Heather. However, I'm not going to applaud her for strength or courage. Strength is the courage to step into the unknown, no matter how hard, to set the example for your kids on how to treat people. She set the example on how women are supposed to treated and Chad is the product of that. There are plenty of people that have taken that long, hard road to generational change and they are the ones I support. They are the ones who dont have the familial support, unlike Chads mom.
