FULL TESTIMONY: Samantha Gwilliam, Tammy Daybell's sister, testifies in Chad Daybell trial 

Samantha, if you read this, I want you to know your testimony brought tears to my eyes today and you did your sister proud. You gave her a voice. I have no doubt she is so grateful and honored and proud of your testimony today. I am so sorry for your loss. I only have one sister who lives 600 miles from me and I am ashamed to say we don’t keep in continual touch. But your testimony today inspired me to make a greater effort to be in more constant touch with my sister instead of once or twice a month. I pray for you and your family and I pray that justice will be served upon this disgusting man who robbed you all of your loving sister Tammy.

Chad and Lori could have divorced their spouses, get jobs and live happily together. They didn’t because they wanted money and control. So vile.

Samantha was an excellent witness - you did Tammy proud ❤️❤️

You can hear her anger and pain through the whole testimony. He cheated her of a life with her sister. So disgusting.

Know wonder Tammy was depressed it's because she was married to Chad, I would be depressed too.

God bless this broken hearted lady. She was a great witness.

28:06 is def a W in my book! "It was DECEMBER 13! Samantha; you are such an amazing sister & human. Tammy is so lucky to have you in her corner. Girl, you absolutely nailed it!

Samantha is strong, totally believable and made Tammy proud today in her delivery of her testimony.

It is so disrespectful to the value of a human being to take the best years of someone's life, raise children together, partly live off their income and hard work, and then discard them as if they were nothing. How can Chad's children still support him?

Samantha, you honored Tammy today. I’m so sorry your sister was taken from you.

You can never b.s. a sister and a best friend. Chad knows she absolutely knows the truth. God bless her.

Why the hell did they get rid of so many people. Did they think they would not get found out. I am just in disbelief with this whole thing

Samantha, if you see this, pls KNOW that we are SO, SO, proud of you! You ARE a wonderful sister, tons of love and caring went into & came out of your testimony. You stood strong and gave Tammy a powerful voice in that courtroom. We understand Prior’s job, he’s doing it poorly, and that’s in Tammy’s favor, as well as the other people murdered in this case. GOD Almighty will prevail in this case. We are praying for all of your family affected by this senseless tragedy and loss of life. Be kind to yourself.❤

Tammy's sister & husband done well on the stand today,It shows chad manipulation,JP is so unlikeable,The sound of his voice creeps me out,Chad there is king of the creeps,

This woman was.great. she seemed angry and rightly so. finally a person who has a mind And a voice! good for you Samantha! I hope to see you on the court house steps celebrating his conviction

Samantha was great- I did laugh when Judge Boyce is asking her to not talk at the same time as someone else and she talks at the same time with him. Classic! 😂

Chad and his evil spirits would continue in prison. He is that deluded. I fear the death penalty is the only way to stop this ludicrous man.

Are you telling me that Tylee and JJ were buried in this animal cemetery and Tammy was still alive? How disgusting!

What I do not understand is why Chad did not take a plea because the evidence is imo overwhelming. There is *no way* for this jury to find him not guilty

I love seeing Tammy’s sister fighting for her!!!! She did awesome! Go Samantha!!

Chad was trying to get a group of people to follow him to Rexburg, a cult following.

If Chad gets the death penalty I think we should let Samantha flip the switch!

I truly believe tammy was right there next to her sister today in that court. I cannot imagine how painful this must be giving testimony for your murdered sister in front of the very man who killed her... its heartbreakingly sad ❤

I'm very close to my sister and I love her so much we talk almost every day I can't imagine Samantha's pain! Samantha did an amazing job and an honor to her sister. I'm in awe of her strength ❤

Sister and bro in law did well!

She did excellent on the stand. Loved when Prior asked for date and she snapped back the date in 2 seconds

She's a lean mean witnessing machine.💪

I know John Pryor has a job to do in defending this bastard but he's getting on my last nerve interrupting the witnesses, asking stupid questions that make no sense to me as a layman, objecting to everything, and badgering the witnesses. Like, wtf, why ask Tammy's sister how many animals were in the pet cemetery? And how many interviews she had with Police??!! Totally insane!!

Tammy’s SISTER was Amazing as a witness. 🙆🏻‍♀️❤️‍🩹⚖️ Ladies, if you sense something is WRONG…It’s intuition. Leave regardless of any supposed religious belief. GOD’s Will is for you not to be murdered.

John Prior's desperation showed its hand during this cross examination. He's grasping for straws.

Heartbreaking 💔

It 👏🏻 was 👏🏻 De 👏🏻 cem 👏🏻 ber 👏🏻 thir 👏🏻 teenth! 👏🏻

Tammy's sister, I take my hat off to you, 🎩you have given such good and clear responses, including your husband. 💯❤❤💯

How can Chad's children be so heartless as to turn their back on their mother's sister?

Mic drop, Samantha. You are an amazing & special sister. You are Tammy’s warrior

My heart breaks for Samantha. I cannot fathom her pain. I admire her strength thru that pain

What kind of cross was that? Prior had nothing to ask and he did not even get a good afternoon from her 🤣 … good job Sammy…

sadly, this was the most profound and painful gift she has ever given tammy. it took incredible love and righteous anger. i hope their hearts can begin to heal from this loss and chad's betrayal. i have been trying to understand prior's obsession with situating the cosy cone as part of the garage. he's attempted to assert this with multiple witnesses.

JP has such a confusing tone, it’s like he’s trying to be part, understanding and charismatic mixed with a very condescending cadence, and it gives me the ick.

Samantha and her husband's testimonies were awesome. The ending where she said she was told 2 children were found to be buried in the Daybell's backyard was really powerful

This was a strong woman. She was channeling the anger of Tammy for justice for her only sister.👍👍👏👏👏🙏

You think during this testimony Choad was thinking to himself, “why tf did I have to meet that itch Hori? I lost my wife and my children and now I’m going to be in prison for the rest of my life “.

👍👍👍👍 way to go Ms Blake!!!!!

Ms. Blake: Did you learn of something or someone else buried in Chads back yard? Samantha: Yes. TWO CHILDREN! Ms. Blake: I have no further questions (mic drop) 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌

I think Prior me this match with Samantha. I wish Tammy had had Samantha’s backbone when it came to Chad’s abuse.💔

She said ‘he was married to her,’ not my brother in law. Very telling how much negativity she has feels towards CD.

I think Tammy knew about the affair, (had read Charles V’s letter), and didn’t know what to do!

Poor poor Lady , my heart breaks for her ❤

Hearing Samantha here, I can tell Tammy was far too good for Chud in EVERY way.

Chud is such a disappointment

Why didnt he take her to emergency room if she seemed so sick or call an ambulance on her?

All my heart goes out to all the victims. Dead and alive. These monsters are beyond comprehension. What they did makes me sick.

Samantha is very brave to testify, twice now, just a few feet from the mosters that ended her sister's life. That takes incredible courage. Its like a nightmare that goes on and on.😢

So all Chad and Tammy’s kids are blaming everyone else for the questionable actions of their father. I don’t get that

Chad is a sad man 5:04 child. His fantasies is so immature and the writing so bad. Nobody should have been murdered. The Daybell children should be sent for therapy to be deprogrammed to think for themselves.

I am not a violent person but if someone took my sister in this horrific way, he had to sleep sometime.

Samantha is a brilliant sister. I am so moved by her speaking up for Tammy so well.

Blake has a great skill to finish her examinations of witnesses with a long lasting echo. I would bet that some jurors will hate Prior more than Chad after this trial. This attorney is the worst manipulator in that trial

Loathsome, unlikeable, evil, heartless and drunk with power, and that’s just Chad’s attorney. Not really, Prior is doing what he’s handsomely paid to do, I was referring to Chad.

Samantha, I am exceptionally pleased with your testimony on the stand. How you were able to keep your composure while being in the same room with your sisters killer is beyond me. May Heavenly Father bless you and your family. Tammy will be waiting for you to reunite with her and live forever together in happiness and peace. 🙏💐💕

You did well surviving this psychopathy Samantha, I wish your sister could have. She deserved a life filled with love and happiness and not one where she was made to feel like she was just money and not worthy of power in her family. Anyone who remembers the name of every child they work with is an angel on earth and that is what she was. Thinking of you and your family as you hold each other tight giving out those medicine hugs your Mumma gave out. I give them to my kids too in memory of your mum who lost way too much.

What kind of CULT is this? My God would never speak of these things

Chad is 100% dark. Sitting there like a tombstone with a stone heart.

This makes me so emotional as someone who has lost two siblings. I cannot imagine how hard it must be for her to do this, and i KNOW tammy is so grateful that people are standing up for her. especially her sister

Nate, you've met both Lori and Chad have you gotten creepy vibes from them?

Thank You State Attorney’s for shutting this down!!!! Bcuz if not he’ll get off on a tangent!!! And also Mr Prior is not easy to like…. He’s rude obnoxious and the list goes on and on…. Thank You Samantha!!!! Yes he wrote book’s but they were crappie and didn’t sell….. Tammy was the only one that worked…. But I do believe that God Will Prevail He Always Does!!!’

I held it together the whole time until she said “ YES, TWO CHILDREN.” 😢😭

Thank you Nate, I really appreciate the clips of the individual witnesses 💙💜💙💙🇦🇺

This testimony truly honoured Tammy. What tremendous strength Sam possesses to face this disgusting creature who manipulated so many. Chad is a coward to his very core. All of his delusional visions were self serving. I'm so glad that Sam had the opportunity to reveal his deceits large and small.

Why is Prior so focused on Rob Wood being at the interview?

Quick question How does a cold body roll of bed by itself

I cannot stand the snide voice of that defense attorney each time he objects. He sounds so arrogant!

A lot of these witnesses are very damning toward Chad and Prior doesn’t seem to get anywhere with his cross from a defense standpoint with most of them. He asks a bunch of questions that really don’t have any direction and if I was a juror he’s not really placing reasonable doubt in my mind at all.

Chad n Lori said people were zombies and evil ..The only evil is Chad himself n Lori..Great job Samantha, Tammy would be proud

Great witness ❤😂🎉

Samantha was amazing on the stand, such a lovely woman and sister! Her testimony alone sealed the deal imo, Chad is a monster! I don’t like to hate on people but he deserves it!

God Bless you samantha. You are strong. You and your husband knocked it out of the park. You were great witnesses. May you find peace someday.

Something that bothers me most during both Chad's and Lori's trials is they are without remorse for what they've done or even regret for where they will spend the rest of their lives. Is dishonesty ever acceptable in Christianity? Man up and tell the truth.

GOOD FOR YOU SAMANTHA!!! You will be a hero to me for the rest of my life!!! I hope Tammy haunts Chud, who thinks he's a stud, till the end of time. 🌹

Samantha had more emotion about the kids than Lori, Chad, the Mels, Chad's kids....and she never knew them. And she clearly is a great sister. Stay strong, Samantha! Justice is coming!

They keep referring to these grown adults as “ kids” this is crazy. Chad is sitting there like this trial is for someone else.

Bye Chad! Excellent witness!

She's the only one showing appropriate emotion that I've watched

Poor Tammy she was going through menopause with a cheating husband 🤢

Oh, please, Chaff! Even Alex Murtaugh cried whenever a picture of Maggie was displayed!

Prior had made much ado about homeopathic medicines and essential oils. I have both in my home,and yet i go to doctor regularly! And the essential oils are for making different scented products with and has nothing to do with any ailment. I wish someone would let prior now that essential oils have many purposes!

When the judge reads the case citation it sounds like “Bad Guy Daybell”👀

I'd imagine "Tammy's depression ". was what is called clinically "situational depression.'. The reason I suspect this is because in listening to Chads negative digs on Tammy , the insinuation that he was bored with their relationship Tammy as " vanilla routine " in everything. I suspect that was in response to his gaslighting , harassing and putting her down. The family and all witnesses describe Tammy as healthy , cheerful smart etc. what with running her home, working, running and dancing. The impression is that her "vanilla " is in reaction to her husband and possibly her being put down and gaslit with the apparently talented manipulator control freak who didn't want her to have a life away from what he softly demanded. Also many witnesses from the family and Mormon church; to minimize the importance of women community seems to center completely around motherhood and homemaking only. Repeatedly we hear about steward of the family as the man and the important decisions are seemingly dominated by the men. Where as the gentle women and good mothers comply it seems . I don't hear discussions that are cohesively made. Rip Tammy. Karen Morente

You did your sister with grace. We can only pray that her children see the truth. Tammy's children are very much victims also. They we're manipulated by their father. He lied repeatedly to them. If Emma gets on the stand and lies about her mom's day Friday before death or at all, she too will be killing her mom all over again. All because Chad was a cult leader. Sad

Prior trying to be nice is almost as disturbing as him being mean. “I’m sorry I was doing that too I think I lead her on”. 😅 His affect changed this week. His tone is gentle almost patronizing. Before he would start cross with a saccharine tone but end argumentative. I wonder if he’s starting to lose faith in his client. Doing the job to get it done.

It's sad seeing that only Tammy's sister is mourning her. Her children don't care. I'm sorry for Charles and Tylee even more because nobody has ever mourned them. How incredibly sad and heartbreaking.

As badly as Tammy was treated her family saw nothing wrong with it , if my husband treated me like Chad treated Tammy my family would be horrified.

My heart 💔 for Tammy's sister! She did awesome on the stand! The whole world is rooting for justice for your sister tammy! Let's not further other victims in this case! Jj and Tylee were soo loved and were innocent victims for $$$$$$! Charles was in fear for his life and the kids! She played the system like a fiddle and deemed competent! There was much more sinister in her heart than mind

i would love to see chad do time where he said the end will begin. ground zero.

He didnt sound meek and quiet on that call w mr quilliam. He laughed?

I cannot wait for this thing to be over. All involved should be allowed to move forward and put it to rest. Chad is still manipulating. Separating the trials from Lori, not showing one ounce of remorse, manipulating his parents and children to believe he got seduced by lorho. To all who have had to go through this not once, but twice I am so sorry. It is cruel. This has tore their families completely apart. This has tore communities apart. I'm so disgusted with the arrogance and the above the law and even God attitude these people have displayed and continue to display. I can hardly listen to this anymore. JP is the ultimate cringe.

Way to go Samantha, thank you for your honest, brave testimony

29:45 mins- boom, mike drop. Nothing like the bond of a sister to bring justice to this trial.

Why is Prior obsessed with stairs and the second story of the Cozy Cone?????

My heart breaks for Samantha. Having 2 sisters I know the bond that we have is strong. Chad and Lori's plan to be together viciously robbed Tammy and Samantha. Sending prayers and positivity to Samantha.
