LIVE! Real Lawyer Reacts:  

Charles' death meant nothing to Lori but not being the beneficiary was a SPEAR THRU HER HEART. Wow!

Never! Lori knew those children were buried in the backyard! In her jail phone call just moments before JJ was found, Lori asked Chad if he was OK. Chad says they're looking. Lori says "in the house?" Chad replies "No they're searching the property " then there's a pause. Lori asks, "Are they seizing stuff...again?"

I’m really glad to hear your report on how well the state is Laying out their case.

They couldn't just leave the kids and run away together - they needed the insurance money from the deaths of Tammy and Charles. But......Charles had become so suspicious that he changed his beneficiary from his wife to his sister without lori knowing.

The moral of this nightmare is: Murder is never the solution. Never, never, never! And LEAVE GOD OUT OF THIS. HE WAS NOT THERE with them EVER.

You have such a balanced, rational, unbiased, "call it how it is" perspective about this INSANE case, it's so refreshing!!Thank you so much 🥹 It seems like most creators are taken aback by how crazy this case is, and get caught up in the insanity. That's what sets your channel apart from others and why I look forward to your channel's content. Always grow, but never change the core essence of you!

I see a lot of people in the chat asking why Lori couldn't have just given the children to a grandparent or other guardian while she and Chad lived out their honeymoon bliss, and the simple answer is MONEY. With JJ and Tylee gone, Lori could pocket almost $6K per month in social security funds, as both Tylee's dad and JJ's adopted dad (Charles) were deceased. Lori was also pretty furious that Charles had changed the beneficiary of his life insurance policy to his sister (Kay Woodcock) instead of Lori. Chad and Lori seemed to be counting on that $1 million to fund their lifestyle until the end of the world came, but when that didn't pan out they were pretty content with using Tammy Daybell's policy payout (which Chad had just increased a month or so before she died.). That amount was just under $500K but that would last them (I'm sure they thought) until the date in August when Jesus was comin' to town and they would be ushered into the kingdom of heaven forever.

How awful to hear Charles messages. He’s such a nice man! “Please stop using my credit cards”, he asks so nicely. Never imagining that murder was part of the plan.

Thank you, Peter, for lending your intellect and expertise as we follow these trials. And many thanks to Mrs. Peter Tragos for sharing you. ❤

This is such a sad sad sad case. I appreciate you speeding things up and only allowing enough to understand what happened. Appreciate your content.

With all this evidence stacking up in leaps and bounds, it illustrates just how involved Lori was.

I wonder how many dark spirits these people meet up with in prison??????

Interesting thing about Tammy and the Daybell kids: They are not inclined to be contrary, inquisitive, critical, or defiant toward their husband/father. The kids still believe their father was framed for these crimes and possibly STILL believe that investigators confused raccoon and pioneer bones with the missing children. According to Chad's sister-in-law Heather, Tammy was very cold & distant to her - ignoring her at church, not saying hello if they crossed paths, and rarely visiting with the family even though they lived very close to one another in Rexburg. This was because Chad had told Tammy that Heather was an evil person, consumed by false "conspiracy theories" about him, and had only bad intentions. SO - if Chad told Tammy that she was not to listen to emails or texts from his friend Lori's demonic husband I have a feeling Tammy would have complied. (Heather, btw, was extremely skeptical of Chad and his fringe belief systems, fantastical novels passed off as truth, and what she saw as twisting the teachings of their LDS church. No one would listen to her, of course, and she was ostracized within the family and their LDS ward, to a certain extent. When the children's remains were found she felt vindicated and did receive apologies from Daybell family members.)

I have to keep reminding myself that the jury doesn't know what I/We know, and can't imagine what they are thinking!

If I was Zulema or Melanie I would be so embarrassed

It's hard to hear seasoned and professional detectives become emotional with some of these horrific things they have to report on and relive in the telling of them. They will never be able to un-see these.

Than you Peter for sharing this with us. Watching on replay…gosh this and Leticia Stauch are so very tough, tragic and almost unbelievable…must be super hard for the defence lawyers…😔😔

Poor Charles, he also said he hasn't been with anyone else since the day he met her

I'm glad you continue to report on this case. I think there is so much behind that we don't know. Too much death around these people.

I'm a new subscriber & thrilled I found you. This case has been hard to follow, & you make it make sense, in the best way possible regarding this weird case! Thanks for that!

Peter, thank you for the coverage. I appreciate the updates, as I don't have the time to listen to hours of testimony. Have a blessed day!

Rewatch crew! 🎉 Thank you Peter for your thorough update on this case! I have been stuck in CO. Truly hope justice for Gannon is achieved ❤

Thank you Peter for these videos re the Harley and Colby… was cathartic to watch and hear your words after watching Harley’s testimony live yesterday. I was very touched and delighted to join in with your prayer for these two children…I was brought up a Catholic but now am more aligned with Budism and chanted some ‘namyohorengekyo’ throughout your beautiful prayer 🙏💕

DUH , they didn't want each other as much as they wanted the insurance money, the SS benefits, power, and prestige. if this was ever about love no one would end up dead and Chad wouldn't be willing to throw Lori under the bus. Chad denied even knowing Lori to the police.

Watching replay. Listened to replay of you and Tyler, also! Love your updates!

Watching the replay … I was in the vallow courtroom… the financials were admitted today for Lori, Tylee,Charles, jj, and Alex … it’s clear how things were being set up and positioned 😮… Colby’s testimony was extremely sad … the jailhouse phone call was heartbreaking 💔

Because of the time difference with Singapore, I can't get the Live easily so it's a true pleasure to know I can count on the replay few hours later... LYK & Peter are addictive!!! ❤❤❤

Thank you Peter for continuing to discuss this case from a legal prospective. I genuinely appreciate your knowledge and insight and I always learn something new from every video that you post.

Did I hear right that the state has taken the death penalty off the table. I hope not that woman does not deserve one more breath.

I’m so happy to see you cover this.

Thank you so much for covering this Peter. I can listen to you, but the trial is too much for me. I thought the Utred movie was good, but am anxious to hear your take!

I’ve been following this for so long I’m not objective at all so hearing you talk about it as a new person to the details is so interesting. I was worried it was so weird and nuanced the jury couldn’t follow but clearly it’s going well

I just found your Chanel nice to hear a professional take on cases .Question would you take this case if you were hired as defense? (not sure if you are a defense lawyer )

Thanks for the recap Peter. I agree - the state is doing an amazing job. Concise, on point and professional.

Thanks Peter. Even though the subject matter is behind a bit... I appreciate your opinion. I guess with no live feed from the court is what we expexted with this case.

Your unbiased take is the only reason I subscribe to your channel. Many insert their own feelings, as a Christian woman, I live my life as best as I can, none of us are sin free, but these people are sick, twisting theory's words to fit their own narratives, thank you for your honest reporting.

So glad to have an update from you on this case and get ur opinion on the lawyering. I think overall both sides are being well represented which is so important to stick the landing on this one

Makes sense now, why she tried to take off with Charle's phone. She tried to limit damage control, unfortunately he was a target after he tried to confront her. Keep your cards close to your chest in this game of life.

Thank you Peter❤

She was thinking about his insurance policy. 1 million. Glad he gave to Kay.

Is it just me or are there a lot of ads during this video? I wonder why this is happening. I never saw even one ad before this. Just wondering? Thank you Peter for another great video!!!

Its like they are serial killers. And more people would have died if they weren't stopped.

Can’t do membership but definitely loved the “seven kings must die” movie it was a great final last kingdom movie

Thank you Peter for all that you do. I so wish my husband had. An attorney like you. We’ve learned a lot and if we ever need another one (not on wood) we would definitely want you!!! Thank you for being the person that you are!!

Thanks Peter for taking on the tough cases!

The worst of everything to me is why JJ was taped around the mouth, legs, arms multiple layers to me means he was alive at the time? And to dismember and burn that beautiful girl. Laurie is as guilty as them all! She disturbed! The background of LDS faith is strict but obviously they put their own twist. Brain washing!

Thank you for your coverage! I grew up in an more extreme Mormon family! (Not saying all Mormons are. But my family… is eccentric) Love to give any insight

4k a month SS 😮 I don’t even get half of that! Crazy

I know we're supposed to think innocent until proven guilty but with this case it is extremely hard to do Lori vallow is insane

I missed the live stream! 😳 My alarm didn’t go off!😅

I like the ethical way you conduce the analysis of the case.

Thanks Peter for the update.

Melanie Gibb still sounds like she has so much disdain for poor Tylee

How has anyone gotten to hear The Lori case already?!?!

I'm LDS, those fools definitely came up with their own teachings. That's not anything that's taught in the LDS faith.

Regarding the question Valerie Cuevas asked at around 45:52 about when Chad's prophecies didn't come to pass, I feel like a book called When Prophecy Fails would be instructive for the group. It is the record of a UFO group with religious leanings whose leader made prophecies about apocalyptic events. When the events did not transpire, the leader would push back or add to the story. It turns out there is a tendency in human behavior to double down in instances like this against all evidence. It's a really good read, and no one is murdered by the person making the predictions. So there's that.

16:52 I wish Lori would have too. Charles tried. He called the police and told them everything. Lori passed the psych evaluation. Charles has his hands tied.

I so totally agree with you about wishing Charles would have left and taken JJ…..BUT, that would have taken money from them that they wanted!

Idaho is a crazy place to live these days. Especially since I am so close to moscow.

has anyone tried to get in touch with the Daybell children lately?

Did Tammy confront Chad about the emails???..

I'm really sad I missed the live today so I didn't get to ask u on it what your thoughts are after hearing the defenses questions to Zulema today that made him appear as though he is believing the things Lori talked about and how Zulema had visions etc, without it being from Chad or Lori's mouth. Oh and I'm dying to hear your thoughts on the judge in stauch trial allowing the jurors to ask their own questions to each witness! Hopefully I make this week's live on it to hear what u think! It's so perfect and it sucks this is the 1st time I've ever seen that! 😪

To me the conversations about putting 2 bullets in his chest made me gasp!

Religious beliefs have nothing to do with the motive. They wanted to be together and they wanted money.

Happy Birthday Chief

you are entitled to your opinion, and I totally agree with you. I find the prosecutions case is very clear.

When will people remember, nothing is really deleted on technology

I would like to say I think you are a really good attorney and very fair person.

I thought Lori was involved in JJ's death at her house in her locked bedroom. Interesting that he was buried intact in his pj's with a kid's blanket. That sounds like a woman's touch. Interesting that such care was taken with her adopted kid while her own daughter was mutilated by Chad & maybe Alex. Obviously, the more insurance someone had, the darker their spirit was.

It was very sad but helpful I’m sure that Charles himself told the police about “ned” being a dark spirit when he reached out to them for help

Way too many of ads!!!! Only 27 minutes in!

Would they not call Chad to testify?

Hey Peter, is it common for a lawyer to mimic the witness? Re: Zeluma um, um, um , ???😂

Way too many ads. Why?

This lady never got her hands dirty... so I don't think she will take the stand.

And OMG hearing Zulema say Chad and Lori told her she died in a previous life when she was 14 and was raped and dismembered, I hope that's not what happed to Tylee

Missed the live! Don't you just hate it when life gets in the way of LYK! 😂

Natalie lawyer chick is doing great coverage of the case too

Great video

Peter: ?? The evidence is so overwhelming, do you think the defense will quit and do a settlement?

I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when Lori Daybell found out that she committed murder only to not be the beneficiary. I’m sure Charles was laughing at that one from beyond the grave!

Best channel on RU-vid!

When is the Chad Daybell case?

Lori wouldn’t let JJ go with Charles to Houston because she wanted his SSI check.

I am wondering how many books, movies, interviews and Netflix series are gonna be made in the near future?!?! a lot for sure!!!

Great job

Peter.. I agree with you, that the State is doing a masterful job of putting this complex puzzle together… These evil people are going to pay for their sins.

They actually called Charles “Ned” because there was a Ned who was a Mormon leader a long long time ago. I remember Googling it when this all started. They gave Ned a last name, too so I googled the full name but now I can’t remember the last name. I did try to look up the full name about two years ago, but they had since taken the website info on Ned down. Honest to goodness.

Hidden True Crime posts the audios daily at around 4pm, as soon as its released after court.. Zulema pronounced her name as Zoo lem uh..just so you know..lol..

Thanks for sharing your knowledge, experience and wisdom as you remind us of the "alleged" perpetrators.

Rewatch crew….had to pick up granddaughters from school. Liked before I listened. Having knowledge of a branch of the FLDS church I don’t find what is being testified to to be terribly shocking. I wish the State of Utah would seriously investigate the wrong doings of these off branches of mainstream Mormonism. A plea of I was brainwashed is not a self-defense for me if I’m a juror. You know right from wrong at a early age. I feel like lust, money and power are more likely the motivation for both of the accused.

When Charles changed insurance to Kay. Kay was instructed to give 25% to each of his 2 adult children. And use the remaining 50% for JJs benefit.

Unfortunately, that’s not how sick, psycho murderers operate! These crimes are beyond sickening! I just hope & pray that JJ, Tylee, Charles & Tammy didn’t suffer very long before they passed! I know some people who belong to “The Church Of Ladder Day Saints” & I can say this with certainty…I have one friend who is a member & believe me…It’s a weird & very strange religion. I was in the company of a few members, because they actually make visits to your home to check on your belief status, and especially, if they haven’t seen you for awhile at a service! I was straight up with my friend & told her to open her eyes & ears! These people have false religious beliefs & they believe in false prophets! Very Scary!

(The yeti mug) Those are the best gifts because the mistake on your name is the gift that keeps on giving 😂 you can have that inside joke for a long time coming 😅

They believe it because they WANT to.

Joining I on replay

Is Lori like Manson? Has everyone else do her "dirty"work?

I just can’t listen to how gullible these people were to believe in zombies and evil children needing to die etc. What is wrong with those people?

Sounds like Dungeons and Dragons role playing or something.

I keep having to remind myself that this is real life and not some sci-fi fiction novel
