Real Lawyer Reacts: Chad Daybell Jurors Speak! What Can We Learn? Important Details Revealed!! 

Nate Eaton interviewed that younger juror on the end by himself first, then later in the day that juror helped him with the other five. Today he interviewed another juror. When you see two grown men so emotional, Eaton included, it says a lot about this case. These jurors were great. I so thank them for their service.

Nate Eaton is the GOAT of journalism. He’s been fully invested in this case from the start. He’s an incredible interviewer and journalist.

I ❤ Nate eaton. From tracking those trash human beings down in Hawaii shouting “Where Are your Kids Lori?!” Over 4 years ago to last night airing this juror interview. An amazing man, a bright light in this very dark story. Thank you for reacting to this Peter

Nate needs a journalistic award. He has given %1000 to this case. 🏆🏅

Nate is a great interviewer. He’s also an outstanding human being.

Thank you Peter for releasing a video on this. These jurors should be commended for the great civic duty they performed

i like the guy that was interviewed on East Idaho News tonight. #14 was great. He is measured and intelligent in his comments.

These jurors really impressed me. They listened, used logic, and really gave a lot of thought to the verdict they came to. They seem like great people.

Mad respect for these folks for doing their duty, taking it seriously and then sharing their experience with all of us. So helpful and so appreciated. 👏👏👏

Nate Eaton, EIN, has done a fantastic job with this case and these juror interviews.

Id like to note that Lindsey Blake in an interview said the reason for seeking death penalty is that in idaho he could have gotten off in as little as 10 years for murder, but even if DP not unanimous it still defaults to life w/o parole

The thing that most struck me was Prior's insistence that Alex could have buried the bodies without Chad's knowledge. I don't care how big your backyard is, if someone buries *anything* in it, you're going to notice that the soil has been disturbed. That was most damning for me. If Chad hadn't been involved, he'd have noticed the graves and investigated. Period.

I love how closely they observed his behavior - the note that the color of his face never changed was really great.

So glad that these jurors accepted the opportunity to talk with Nate about the trial and their decision regarding Chad Daybell. It was interesting to hear what & how they came to their decision for the death penalty. I respect these jurors, as this was a long trial and a tough decision. As one of the jurors stated, they are forever affected by this trial and their decision. These jurors felt they gave justice for JJ, Tylee, and Tammy.

8:58 On Aug. 10, 2019, Lori Vallow Daybell texted the man she would later marry. “Do you think there is a perfectly orchestrated plan to take the children? And we just have to wait for it to be carried out?” she asked Chad Daybell. “I feel lost. Like I should be doing something to help.” “There is a plan being orchestrated for the children,” Daybell responded. Just weeks after the texts, prosecutors say Vallow Daybell’s two kids -- 16-year-old Tylee Ryan and 7-year-old JJ Vallow -- were killed and buried in a shallow grave in the backyard of Daybell’s Rexburg home. 10:04 “A little over 24 hours from reporting his wife’s death,” Blake said in her closing argument, “Chad messages Lori: ‘I know exactly how you feel. I’m feeling sad, but it isn’t for the reason everyone thinks!’” At the time, Vallow was on a trip to Hawaii. Blake said Vallow had grown frustrated with Daybell, sending him a text saying they couldn’t be together until things changed. “What needs to change?” the prosecutor asked the jurors. “Tammy’s in the way.” [Both sentences Blake's.] Daybell responded to Vallow’s message, Blake added, by saying that being with Vallow was the only thing that mattered to him.

I met Nate Eaton at CrimeCon in 2021. We were both out in a hallway checking our phones during one of the sessions. I waited until he was done and introduced myself and thanked him for all his amazing work on this case (which neither Lori’s or Chad’s had gone to trial yet obviously) and the DeOrr Kunz Jr case. He was so nice and genuine-we talked for about 10 mins-he asked me what I thought about each which proved to me he is an amazing journalist-he is genuinely interested in listening to people-that’s part of what makes him so great! I hope he takes Keith Morrison’s place on Dateline when Keith is ready to retire. Nate has a passion for True Crime and showing humanity behind the evil. Peter-you two would be fabulous together-would love to see you collaborate on something!

That's exactly what I thought. "I'm not coming back".

The Jurors’ perspective is endlessly fascinating.

Nate is a great interviewer and employee of East Idaho News. A gift for all of us.

Just REALLY frustrating how years and years ago Heather Daybell and Adam Cox where trying to warn people and no one listened....the the 2 tornados hit and left this horrific trail of death and changed/destroyed so many lives

Peter I live in IDAHO for 53 years now……. Yes these are typical Idahoan’s!! Love your channel thank you!🤘🏼🫶👍

⛳️⛳️⛳️ Thanks, Peter! I’m definitely interested in hearing you react to the individual interview with juror/Nick, as well as the additional individual juror (Blake) interview Nate dropped tonight … AND Nate’s upcoming (weekend?) interview with prosecutor Rob Wood! ⛳️⛳️⛳️

27:15 I haven’t been emotionally ready personally to listen to the victim impact statements yet, but this juror (bottom left) saying “there was only one set of dry eyes in the whole room” hit me really hard 🥺😞😭 Wow. That is so powerful. 😔

I live and practice criminal law in a college town about 5 hours north of Boise. The jurors were selected from the Boise area, which is the most Urban area in Idaho. The entire state is predominately conservative with a high concentration of Mormons in southern Idaho. The racial composition of the jury is representative of the population of the area and the state.

Lindsay Blake is a rockstar.

Yes, I think these jurors look like who you see walking around Idaho.

Nate is a journalist who wants people to tell their stories, not a journalist who claws the stories out of people. It is no wonder many as so happy to speak with him, because they know they arent being attacked for info.

Nate the reporter with Idaho News was there everyday covering the case. I can only imagine the horror of what these jurors heard and saw. They had to see the autopsy pictures of the children. Hopefully they take advantage of any therapy that is offered to them. They did a great job.

I was amazed they were even able to find that many people who didn’t know anything about the case.

🚩🚩🚩You definitely need to see or review Nate’s latest juror, aired this evening. It was an excellent interview!🚩🚩🚩

Another juror was interviewed by Nate today, I would love to hear your perspectives on that interview.

Nate mentioned tonight he will be interviewing Rob Wood and Det Hermissillo this week together too. That will be a good one as well.

Very interesting to hear lawyer perspective of Jury feedback. I was red card 1787, for this trial, and was very impressed on how the initial Jury process was implemented. Please review interview with juror #14.

Peter, I'd recommend you watch Nate's interview with Juror #14 if you haven't already. They discussed so many topics from selection to the verdicts. So interesting

I thought they were saying Chad didn’t say anything when he could have, not in the testifying. But when he could have spoke during the death penalty phase. (Allocution)

Nate gets access because he is what all journalists/media people should be, he is real. He cares, he has no hidden agendas.

I. Have so much respect and appreciation for these jurors

Nate interviewed Juror #14 Blake and Justin Lum interviewed Rob Wood-both very interesting-

One more juror just released on East Idaho News. Very interesting because he speaks about the defence and Prior.

The Chad was in the cruiser and said he’s not coming back was the day the day the kids were being recovered from Chad’s yard

Judge B was awesome!

I’m local and was able to attend most of the trial days in person. In the day that Chad’s Forensic Anthropologist came and testified, everyone in the gallery felt the same way the jury says they did. My friend and I had a notebook we would pass back and forth between us during trial because you weren’t allowed to even whisper in there. I remember as the Anthropologist talked about Tylee’s jaw being fractured, my friend wrote down to me, “this is heartbreaking!” After trial went into recess, we would always just go sit in the hallway til they let us back in. That day is was extra somber for the group of us sitting around against the hallway walls in the queue. I remember most of were saying that we thought that that evidence would work in the State’s favor because it highlighted how terrible Chad and the other’s were.

Nate did an amazing job interviewing all involved !

I was a juror in a one week trial. I can’t imagine two months. I still came out of my trial thinking wow I just help make a decision affecting many lives in a huge way…then poof… back to my normal life. Weird feeling.

Juror #9 was interviewed, he's one of the 3 younger jurors. Then 5 other jurors and #9 met together for an interview. Now #14 has been interviewed. A 3 minute snippet of that interview has been released, but the entirety should be released this evening.

The prosecution in both Lori and Chad Daybills’ trial were phenomenal.

I would love to hear you break down the juror interview with the young guy. There are several other interviews Nate has done with jurors that would be interesting to break down as well. ALSO....Nate did an interview with Summer Shifflet who is Lori Vallow's sister, at Crime Con and I DESPERATELY want for you to break that down. Thanks for all you do!!!

The mental drain especially the shock once trial starts of things that are called moral injury must have been crippling

Generally I don’t think this jury was talking about Chad testifying in the guilt phase, but speaking in the penalty phase on his own behalf and showed remorse.

There's a separate interview with a juror where he discusses JP and how the jury viewed his behavior in court. Very interesting

It was comforting to know how level headed and thorough these jurors were when they considered all the evidence. They looked through all the collaborative statements that backed up any details presented by the prosecutors. They took their position very seriously before reaching an honest and fair conclusion. I feel then that Chad received a fair trial. IMO.

Nate Eaton is the best. Absolutely top notch reporter and person.

🙌 Holla to Nate Eaton from East Idaho News!! 🙌 I can see why the jurors talked with him right away. He is super kind, trustworthy and neutral with his reporting. ❤❤❤

So interesting listening to jurors.

I served on a jury in a murder trial once. It was exhausting and DARK.

I was a juror on a case against the Roman Catholic diocese many years ago (you can guess the “topic”). It was the most emotionally/mentally and physically draining 2 weeks I had experienced. Being a juror can be very difficult.

I would like to see more juror breakdown videos from this case

I find it so bizarre Emma moved her family into Chad's house where two children were buried in the backyard and where her mother was killed. I mean what is she going to tell her children when her kids say to her one day, "Hey Mom. Can we go play in the backyard?"

Prior had FOUR YEARS! He had plenty of time! It's Prior's fault if he wasn't prepared or experienced. Chad chose Prior. Chad didn't want any other attorneys.

I have heard people say that the Elena story and all the goddess stuff showed that he was just being manipulated by lorie, but id like to point out that all of that is seduction hypnosis stuff that is talked about in certain parts of the manosphere. Lorie may have been a manipulator, but she also desperately wanted to be special. Chad recognised that and im pretty sure he'd have been exposed to the seduction technique stuff, as well as techniques of persuasion. Its not like he had charisma on his side ...

I can’t imagine how the jurors must feel. Chad and Lori caused so much damage to so many.

Please do the other two juror interviews!!! It would also be awesome for you to have a chat with Nate Eaton!

Nate interviewed juror #14 who laid out how Priors behavior really worked against him - also that there was one particular juror that he kept on looking at - what's that all about?

It was a great interview! Nate interviewed the young juror first, and that was great-especially because he was one of the youngest. In that interview, he said he was raised LDS and he really talked about how far off Chads teachings were. It was fascinating. Nate also interviewed ANOTHER juror last night who was AMAZING. That interview one on one, and he really talked about the testimony and its impacts. He’s also talked about Prior and his presentation and what the jury thought about it. I would love to hear your thoughts on both of these!

Chad was given the option to get a different lawyer and was asked if he wanted to keep prior and he said he wanted Prior. They would have appointed him a death penalty attorney. I was surprised he didn’t accept that. That oddball lawyer Ratliff, that tried to delay the trial was a Dp qualified attorney but Chad couldn’t scrape up the money to add him.

They need a safe place to tell their trauma. Thanks to Nate.

Awesome Peter! You’re still loving and learning from this process. I’m 66 and was on jury duty once. And halfway through the trial the guy took a plea and I really felt robbed of the opportunity to talk to my fellow jurors. But I did find it very cool that both sides spoke to us after to ask what our opinions were because they said it would help them learn from us what they could’ve done better/differnt.

Tuning in from Portugal while hiking the Rota Vicentina

I think she was saying that his silence during the penalty phase is what struck her. Not that he personally didn't testify, but that he didn't put up a defense to the death penalty.

Nate is such a good human being! Not aggressive, very compassionate. Prayers for all affected. Prayers for comfort to Judge Boyce.

The prosecution perfectly packaged and presented this case with a pretty little bow for the jury

Thank you for breaking this down Peter. Nate is an amazing person and you can tell how much he is trusted by the way people agree to speak with him. I’ve become a fan of the way he reports.

Minneapolis is having a problem with Feeding Our Future trial. A juror had someone show up at their house with 120K in a bag telling the jurors father there’d be more of juror voted for acquittal. That jury is now sequestered. 2 jurors kicked off.

@LYK I really think half of that interview they were wanting Chad to speak after verdict but before sentencing and give some sort of apology or admission of guilt / remorse. Not necessarily that he didn't testify on his behalf. That was my read, anyways. Thanks!

That one juror keeps saying they just DROPPED me in there and sounds like he feels like he's in a surreal world.

14:58 I feel like the kids on the property was Alex's insurance. Part's of the daughter were never found - I believe she was killed elsewhere and her body (parts)were moved

I'd def watch you reacting to Juror #9 Nick's interview. I found the "behind the scenes" glimpse into the jury room so interesting. Plus, he is such a terrific young man!

Yes I like to hear what jurors say and think. I hope I could be as measured and honest as these jurors.

My heart breaks for everyone involved in this awful tragedy. Good for those jurors. Major respect for them all. Nate Eaton is such a classy reporter!❤❤💔

He said, “I’m not coming back” while they were digging for the 2nd body in his yard.

I think both Lindsey Blake and Judge Boyce were awesome.

On the replay. I do feel like our jury system is one of the last great systems of justice that (most of the time), renders decisions based on fact.

Easy for a guilty verdict but horrendous evidence to hear and see,.😢These people are very intelligent and very caring .

I love hearing from the jurors. I find such insight.

The jury seen what we all seen. 99% of all ppl would agree. This trial was perfection from start to finish 🎉🎉🎉

Yes, please do the other guy. You didn't show the part where they took apart Pryor and said he irritated them with his yelling at them and trying to stare them down.

You did a great job of deconstructing the process of the panel Peter.

So pleased they picked up on Chad being like this before Lori.. Tammys sister suggested so and Heather confirmed his need to be listened to, to be important. Really smart of them all.

I like what you said about, once you loose credibility to the jury, it's an uphill battle. Prior was arrogant, condescending, belittling, and disrespectful to the witnesses, to the judge and court. The jurors pointed out Prior starred at the jury, especially certain members; and, it felt he was trying to intimidate them. Plus, Prior seemed unable to read the emotional temperature of the room, adding insult to injury with his witnesses, almost unaware that often his line of questioning with witnesses, and the witness itself hurt his own case. I mean did he really think after we found out Tylee had her jaw broken 6 times, and her ribs were broken, that him asking the witness if she could have been killed elsewhere would make any difference. I think allowing jurors taking notes is important, why, cause if they wrote it down wrong, their memory would be wrong too. In this case it appears all the notes agreed.

I would really like to see your reaction to the individual juror interviews. Thanks.

Some public commented on the laughing and that it was disrespectful. Know we understand that that was the only way for them to relieve tension and still feel human while see all these horrible things. I think like you said they did an outstanding job.

Anne Taylor is a good attorney. She has good court presence and understands the technical issues, so it appears.

Jurors on these horrific trials literally become second-level victims!! They should at least make a decent pay!

If Chad had been your client, how hard would have encouraged him to take the plea deal that was offered pre trial?

What a wonderful group of humanity that jury ws, So happy for them that they were able to get along so well.

Regarding: Should the jury be able to take their personal notes with them when they're deliberating or could they get their conclusion wrong from their notes? ... All 12 or 18 jurors are not all going to have the same wrong notes. Maybe one or two jurors will have something off or different from the consensus. But all 12 of them won't have the same wrong detail. You'll have at least three or four jurors that'll have taken a note about that specific item and have the same thought. Then if you have a juror with a completely different thought ( this is the juror that got it wrong) what they wrote down. But all 12 or 18 are not all going to get the same detail wrong. So I think jurors should be able to use their notes in deliberation.

You need to watch the latest interview with Blake. He doesn't hold back about Prior.

Nate also did another interview tonight with another juror, Blake I think. Very insightful as to how the defense came across to the jurors, and Prior did not leave a great impression, especially on this juror.

11:10: this jury is great…BUT…I don’t believe that Chad was solely the mastermind. This evil already existed within Lori and Alex long before meeting Chad. Alex attacking Tylee’s father…and trying to find someone to finish the job, while he was incarcerated for that attack…? Alex had the heart and spirit of a serial killer.

I have lived in Idaho my whole life and yes this is good representive of what Idahoans look like
