#eastidahonews #daybell #testimony MacKay Abegglen, Garth Daybell’s friend, testifies that Garth told him he found his mom cold and blue when he arrived home from work. He also said Chad Daybell was not home.
For those asking, Mackay stayed in the courtroom after his testimony and watched Prior question other witnesses. That is what he was referring to when Nate asked about his questioning from Prior.
@@victoriagrove5344This isn’t a family member, it’s a friend. Garth told him that he found his mother’s body. Chad told authorities he woke up and found Tammy dead, partially hanging off the bed. It doesn’t add up - that’s why this friend is speaking up. Why do you call him goofy?
They need to be arrested sadly 😢, but they have been brought up with extreme beliefs, they will wake up when they are made to face the truth, and then they will need help
I will always believe the same thing you commented about. I have also taught my son this. There will never be anything hidden in the dark forever because one day, it will be brought to the light.
@8chuz Yes and no. The kids, also, made many poor choices and broke the law. (Imo) To make a long story short, I broke the cycle of my abusive family. My brother (only sibling) ended up being toxic and I didn't. In other words, they are still at fault, as well as being victims too, imo. Being victims doesn't mean they are innocent and not disgusting.
@@8chuz I agree it's a form of abuse but they've chosen to continue the lie and chosen to be manipulated by him via phone even while all of this stares them in the face. That part is on them.
@@8chuz Tammy is the victim here but all three of them, Emma, Garth & Joseph lied on the stand. Emma disgraced her mom in every way, is that not disgusting & dishonest? You don’t need to be complicit growing up in a controlled home, they’re adults not kids.
The good news is they will not go in the rapture! Nor are any of them ever going to be qualified as the 144,000 which are JEWS! Twist the Bible and you get the tribulation!
Dear Garth & Emma, "You don't have to have a good memory when you're telling the truth." -Mark Twain & Judge Judy ❤ Justice for JJ, Tylee, Tammy & Charles 🙏🏽❤️
He’s a rebuttal witness so I think that’s just how this works? They keep rebuttal witnesses on standby in the event they need them to refute a previous witness, which means they have to go last. It certainly helps to wrap up the trial with a mic drop moment 😂.
Imagine a friend of your son’s is the only one to tell the truth of your death😢RIP wonderful Tammy who provided for her family and who was a loyal wife❤
We haven’t heard from the other kids tho. I get that they weren’t there but who knows where they stand today. I’m def not a fan of Emma tho (aggressive and a liar) and Garth seems like he’s doing it too but doesn’t want to? Like he feels pressured. Just my perception.
That conforms to what Garth said to the people who arrived at the house on the morning of Tammy's death. Garth says he found his mother, and Chad cuts him off.
@@usaroxx8085 Yup! It is recorded. And I'm sure it is going to feature in the prosecution's closing. It will impeach every single thing that Garth said on the stand. They'll play the recording. Remind the jury of this young man's testimony. Which is even stronger because he told his parents at the time. So there are THREE people who confirm the story. Emma's husband has discredited himself with his whackadoodle comments about law enforcement. And Emma is coming across as truly suspicious and weird. Plus there's ALL the money Chad gave his "kids" I think the jury will be feeling just heart broken for Tammy in every way now.
Props to this young man for even being able to tell that Garth was even sad. The Daybell family show as much emotion as a toaster oven. This was pretty important testimony to get on the record.
This man speaks clearly and confidently. There's nothing making me question whether or not he's being truthful. Garth and Emma, on the other hand, spoke awkwardly, and it was obvious they were not confident in themselves. No doubt the jurors will recognize that. Great day going toward justice.
Emma was sounding hostile as if she was following someone’s instructions. “Yes”, “no”, “no”,“yes”. She gave so little information except absolutely answering that question, like ‘pulling teeth’. ( ‘Good girl’, Emma, they want to put me in prison for the rest of my life and I didn’t do anything’, Chad will tell her). It is telling that her family doesn’t like law enforcement officers. She was harassing the FBI at her father’s home( “animal bones in the pet cemetery “ comment was adversarial, setting up the children’s story line for the defense.)
@@JudyTullos how about when Blake reminded Lyin’ Emma that her mother was on her phone 10:30 at nite, and Emma spat out: ‘“She was SICK.” She sounded like she wanted to slit Lindsey’s throat right then and there. After watching her in operation, I fully expect Emma to follow in the Choad’s murdery footsteps.
I think Tammy was suffocated with poison -- Ive heard there are drugs that are hard to trace -- and she took a photo of the pink foamy vomit -- which was 'mysteriously' deleted from her phone. And, maybe Garth called Emma and they both waited for Chad about what now? Maybe they already knew about the light/dark rating list and that Tammy had been on it. Netflix The Sins of Our Mother about Lori connects lots of dots.
@@gaiagreen2690It’s not a coincidence he wrote a book about Emma. She definitely a chip off the old block. As a mother, it’s so hard to hear about how they have no respect for Tammy. This is definitely due to Chad’s manipulative behavior towards their mother. She deserved so much better than him and his kids.
His 'Dad' would have done some quick talking when Garth discovered Tammy (while Chud was dropping Alex back off), and convinced him that he needs to lie to save him. Big time playing on Garth's love for him and emotional manipulation.
What a great job McKay did today. He should be very proud of himself. This is how justice is served. Makes me feel better about the state of this world to know honest people still exist. Watching from Pensacola, Fl. ☀️ Justice for Jj, Tylee, Tammy & Charles ❤️
@@mortalclown3812 that is true, but I have also seen a lot of the opposite as well. But, I am self aware enough to know that I am bias, and I'm pretty sure it's from my career choice. 😉
Where was Chad? I am confused. Did he make his self scare so Alex could come in and commit the act? Did he HELP? Also in Garth's testimony was no mention of Chad being in the room or him helping pick Tammy up. Strange🤔🤔🤔🤔
I think that conclusion was reached before either completed their testimony. It was very rehearsed lies to the point sometimes they didn’t even seem to answer then question asked of them.
Imaging having to recall a witness for rebuttal, because your Children lied on the Stand, to save their father, who murdered their mother. Totally disgraceful. Shame on Emma and Garth. It's no wonder patronising John Prior didn't call the other adult children. Justice for Tylee,JJ,Tammy, Charles and Joe. Regards from Ireland 🇮🇪
@@JS-tv8sf umm..u left out the part where 2 minor children were found buried in Daddy’s backyard and we children get to meet Daddy’s mistress the DAY AFTER MOM’S FUNERAL. It would be better for him to be in the State’s hands than for my dad to come home to me and my brother in that particular scenario! Emma deserves all the shame. Garth is just kind of slow and weak. Neither one of them will ever live this down. Where will they go? Who will accept them after this fiasco of a CF? Good luck to the wasteful weirdos, that’s all I got.
@JS-tv8sf Emma has shown no remorse whatsoever when she found out that the missing children were found on her fathers property??? Emma seemed more interested in the financial gain from her father. Emma also made faces and stuck her tongue out to a camera person, when they were reporting on the missing children??? Remember herself and Garth are teaching young children and influencing them??? They are true believer's in her fathers Cult. Extremely dangerous as we know, they go on murdering innocent victims. Regards from Ireland 🇮🇪
@@yankeecitygirl yeah, I don't tend to blame kids for what their parents do and understand that a crisis in someone's life is complicated. It's not as easy as a comment on RU-vid. They didn't bury kids in the yard and they're protecting themselves from the truth. That's where they're at right now. I'm thankful I'm not in their shoes with a weight that heavy. Especially at that young of an age! I've had trauma in my life and have PTSD. I'm actually not as forgiving of parents who screw up. But my sister is different. I understand she deals with trauma differently than I do.
@@JS-tv8sf yep PTSD/ anxiety panic disorder survivor here as well. But I’m not as good and virtuous a person as are you. That’s the sad reality of my life, I fear🙁
Just wait, years doen the line, when Emma subtly prods joe to buy a life insurance policy on himself or increase an existing policy to maximum. How he will be watching his back and there will be no one to turn to for support. I 100% believe that emma is the next gen of twisting religion hiding behind a convoluted perversion of lds to get away w murdering for life insurance payouts. She woll just use what has been learned from lori and Chads mistakes and be more savvy in execution future murder plan.For instance, making sure she has an ironclad alibi, ensuring not to create any digital evidence in the planning and executing stages. Basically being super careful. She thinks shes more intelligent than everyone else. Shes devious and unbothered, imo, about being judged by anyone or by society. Imo, she would easily have the audacity to totally go for it, murdering for life insurance payout. If she can figure out how to make a murder look like an accident and there be no evidence w/ --to connect her to the crime'--she wouldnt care that everyone would "know" she did it;as long as she collected the payout.
They totally dug up the burn pit and could not fully account for all Tylee’s remains. What a problem. We are told by proper authorities of crematoriums that they need twelve hours to completely reduce a body to ashes. And another thing, why was a nocturnal raccoon walking in daylight, without the possibility occurring that it was behaving abnormally? As in suffering from rabies? If I see an animal behaving strangely, that is cause for alarm. The family does not want to believe their eyes.
Never! My Mom is the best person and the best wife and Mother. Plus my best friend in the world. I’d never speak to him again but my father worships the ground my Mama walks on. I know he would never in a trillion years. I bet if the Daybell kids are honest with themselves, they can see it now. Chad is a pig
Mackay did fantastically. Tore down Garth's and Chad's testimony in one fell swoop. And didn't even have to lie to do it. And he told his parents, and THEY reminded him what he told them. Brilliant. NATE gets ANOTHER SCOOP
McKay. Thank your parents for taking their role as a parent seriously. They waited until you were home safe, listened to your day, etc. Because of your upbringing, you were able to testify for the truth which needed told. Thank you! 🙏
This whole situation is extremely sad,none more so for than Tammy Daybell,a loving mother devoted mother and a loving person with beautiful soul. Thank goodness someone had the right sense to stand in Tammy's corner today and justice will be served.
Pryor's line of questioning was ridiculous, when he tried to claim that if you couldn't remember the exact date, you wouldn't remember that a week had passed. I definitely would. If I saw a friend at work on a particular day of the week as usual, & the following week they told me their mother had suddenly died, I'd remember the event, but probably not the date. This young man did brilliantly, despite the desperate Pryor's shouted & breathy attempts at bullying. Well done Mackay.
Please let me just say that I whole heartedly understand the want or need to protect your parents BUT, Tammy didn't deserve to die, Tylee and JJ or Charles didn't deserve to die either... Those kids should be ashamed of themselves PERIOD
Thank you for your courage for coming forward this was huge information. I am proud of you. You did the right thing. God luck in your future endeavors.
It makes sense now when the people responding to the call regarding Tammy’s death said Garth was silent and didn’t say a word. I’m 100% positive he was told to keep quiet by Chad.
Yep, the responders interpreted that as being in shock. Wow Chad Daybell just gets more seedy and corrupt and evil with each new revelation. He truly is a Bad Seed, what with getting pleasure out of killing bumblebees, very important to our survival as a species. Chad hates humanity.
You are brave Mackay - thank you for telling the truth. I feel bad for Garth that he lost his mother and has been so manipulated by his dad that he either could not remember or was too afraid to say what really happened that night. Thank you for having the courage to stand up and tell the truth about what Garth shared - I hope in a way it sets him free from all the lies.
Definitely sounds like it with them waiting up for him too. Sounds like he had a very good relationship. I don’t see Chad waiting up for anyone but Lori and that’s only because of his lust.
Standing up for Truth in a small town and community is not an easy thing to do. People are related. People take sides. This young man and his parents are to be commended for their Honesty and Bravery.
@@kaylamanorbut if he didn’t know dad had multiple phones, he wouldn’t know quite what to do. Didn’t they call around 5 am? That’s a lot of missing time.
Garth is a liar. This is why Garth said on the stand he felt threatened by the prosecution to change his testimony before charges came down. "It was pretty plain that I needed to change my story to fit theirs," he said in response to a question from John Prior, the attorney for Daybell. "And the event you didn't change your story, you'd be indicted by the grand jury?" Prior asked. "Yes, and they had a list of charges that they were threatening me with," Garth said.
As a lawyer, I believe that most of the time an attorney is mean and nasty in questioning a witness, it rubs the jury the wrong way. This is a perfect example of how Prior's courtroom style helped seal his client's fate. This witness was great in showing Garth's dishonesty in protecting his dad.
@@HeidiHynd I think I heard it when the prosecution was questioning him they asked him about that he found his mom and dad was no where to be found. That’s the first time I heard it too.
Anyone notice that Emma swaps from a high pitched almost childlike voice with her father and with John Prior, but with people she doesn't want to talk to, her voice sounds like a normal adult woman?
Chad wasn’t there when Garth found her because he and Tammy were not sleeping together. He was having an affair and so was probably sleeping up in the cosy cone…. Or driving Alex back to his car?
I don’t think the jurors will give much credence to the family testimony on this. How can you defend 2 children’s bodies being buried in your backyard. I mean WHAT A TOTAL IDOT!
He DID NOT have to lie for his Father. He should have to the truth for HIS MOTHER! I don't feel sorry for this pitiful son who did nothing in the name of justice for his Mother.
Well after watching his testimony today, I just realized that BOTH Emma and Garth LIED under oath. Am I surprised? Not at all Remember Cads statement “ my kids are good at keeping secrets.” Wow…..
Actually Garth told three different story’s about finding his mother ,his girlfriend back before his marriage to the same woman.Then 48 hrs he claimed another story .about the recollection of that night about his mom’s death.All of Chads kids that testified where complete liars .Emma also stated that Chad was upset and unable to make a decision about the autopsy because he had just Witnessed his wife dying .
Garth found her and Chud and Garth took 3-4 hours to come up with an excuse before calling 911. She was dead before Garth came home at 1:00, so sick he would cover for his Sicko dad. Even sadder he only missed 1 day of work, WTF!! When my dad passed after fighting cancer I missed almost 2 weeks of work, what a POS!
Awesome rebuttal witness. Not only is the prosecution team fierce for doing a huge amount of work but their steadfastness and incredible strength to be able to keep the business secrecy and strategy till the last minute and saving the best bombs for last is outstanding. Amazing work AMAZING ✔️💯
Now we know why the lividity and rigormortis were already set in. We all knew the story was a lie, but this kid's minor detail of the truth, most certainly connected the dots.
When my dad died i was off work for months. There's no way i could have gone back to work the next day or following week and my dad's death was expected. We knew he was near the end. I had to deal with a sudden death of a sibling and that was devastating. These kids are some cold hearted people. They heard their dad talking about Tammy dying before she did and did nothing. Poor Tammy.
Those kids sounded like they were lying and the so. Said the house was perfectly quiet but he could hear his dad snoring however I was surprised nobody asked him- “well you must have heard your mom coughing and throwing up since she was really coughing a lot and throwing up a lot”
@@juliao1255 NO. No, no, no. Garth Daybell is an adult, a husband, a father and a teacher. He is a free man who had FIVE long years to stop lying about his murdered mother and tell the truth. He needed to make a CHOICE, like many others did. He CHOSE to lie. He is indeed indoctrinated, as they all are, but he made a conscious choice to lie, knowing very well that it was wrong and against the law. He betrayed his poor mother's memory to help his murderous father evade legal consequences of his crimes. Garth Daybell is NOT the victim here! He is a free man who holds responsibility for many little ones, and he could have broken free, like many other cult members did. If he chose to lie due to fear, that makes him a coward, not a victim. Nothing prevents him from getting professional help, but he needs to face the consequences for lying for a murderer first. Let's stop this misplaced compassion and remember the REAL victims.
This iceberg goes deep! There is so much still not known but with people around them coming forward (thank you so much for your bravery) the iceberg is slowly tipping, justice for all the victims of these weirdos and may they ALL be exposed! ⚖️ 🎉
@@candicewitzkoske3155 I’m coming around to the thought that Chad is a legit satanic priest and all the killings were ritualized. I don’t think any of his groupies were satanists though. I think he got them to commit the nefarious deeds by coming up with this dark- light zombie bullsheet.
Hello Nate from the uk 🇬🇧 your coverage is the best, and youve been part of this devastating story from the start , you and this young lad should do a proper interview
