Real Lawyer Reacts: Chad Daybell Opening Statement Points The Finger At Lori Vallow 

Chad throwing Lori under the bus, may be the one thing that finally wipes that disgusting, smug, smile she’s had on her face since the arrest.

I hope Lori V D, who wouldn't let her attorney say one word about Chad, listens to every word of this!

Even if Daybell was 'duped' he's still guilty. He knew where the kids were buried. He tried to leave when the police started looking by the pond. If you're innocent, no need to run

Chad was the one who deemed Alex as Lori's protector in many of their past lives including this one. Chad was the one doling out everyone's roles in the group and the parts they would play. Going to be hard jumping over that hurdle. Justice is at hand for him.

A married man who hits on women by saying we were married in a past life…yeah…great guy. He was duped. Whatever. Such a joke.

How much godliness does it take to allow two murdered childrento be buried on your property?

He’s as guilty as she is. What a scumbag to throw her under the bus. What a coward.

This defense is proof that Chad is a massive coward, as most narcissists are deep down in their cold hearts.

He went along with ALL of it, even to the point of killing his own wife! This trail will be a pile of lies from the defense.

Four acres is not a “farm”. It is a rural residential property for riding bikes and keeping ducks. A “farm” is 20+ acres with livestock or crops. I live on a 20acre farm, I have had smaller little properties- you can see disturbed ground on a flat 4 acre paddock.

I knew he was going to throw Lori under the STEAMROLLER right out of the gate 😂😂😂😂 I wasn’t shocked.

Well, people did die in the hands of Lori before Chad was around but they're both equally part of this

I felt sick that Tammy's children will testify that she wasn't well and didn't like Dr.'s. I can only imagine the pain of Tammy's family and friends.

Chad has about as much chance of escaping conviction as I have of becoming Queen of England.

Chad told alex he was the warrior and protector.

I am not surprised that CD is blaming LV for everything but I hope that the jury sees through this tactic.

The kids dna was found on tools in his shed! Guilty. He helped kill them. He buried them. He is guilty.

So many things Chad said & did will undermine this convenient opening statement: 1. Alex's previous "rescue and protect Lori" altercations were with Lori's husbands. It's believeable that a brother (Alex) might convince himself to rescue & protect his tiny sister (Lori) from a male, thats bigger & stronger. But it's unreasonable to think Alex could convince himself that she needed his rescue & protection from a female, (Tammy), and 2 children “JJ” & Tylee. 2. Chad Daybells previous account of his wife, Tammys death, placed Chad right beside Tammy, in bed when he awoke to find her dead. Also he was predicting her short life to others before she died and spreading incorrect medical info to others suggesting Tammys was experiencing debilitating illnesses prior to her death. 3. I still remember Chads voice when he took a call from Lori who was in jail (calling from a recorded line) and fibding Chad distracted; because investigators where currently scouring his yard in search of the missing kids. Plus an unusally long text from Chad needing to tell Tammy about his killing of a animal & burning it in the backyard fire pit - coincidently, it happened to be the same place where Tylee's chard body was found.

Hope the prosecutor becomes bolder, the defense sure is.

It's impossible to believe that none of the jurors have already formed an opinion. 👀

This is the reason why Prior kept going to Lori’s trial. Prior knew from the beginning he would have to throw Lori under the bus.

Of course we all knew that he would.

"I didn't dance, but i held her while she danced." Lol. You were at the dance. In the middle of the dance. You even played the music, Chad.

The court is so hard to watch.

Thank you Peter!!! Thank you for all the coverage on these various cases. I know you are very busy!

Yup….JP throws LD under the bus in his first sentence. Not unexpected…

Thanks for covering! I read 4 comments of people who want you to slow down your speed. It must be from the terrible sound quality from the court. I don't think slowing it down will help much. Also I really appreciate saving the time!

I wanna see how Prior gets around C and L running off just 2 weeks after a beloved wife dies to get married, ring already purchased, clothing online ordered, airline tickets all set.

Whoa🔥🔥🔥 Thanks for this, Peter! I 💯 look forward to you covering this trial for us!! Wow wow wow

You and Emily D. Baker live at the same time. You're breaking my heart! I can't choose!!!

I agree with them blaming Alex butttt the whole thing with Alex being on chads property multiple times obvi Chad knew he was on the property and I think u can general agree that Chad knew Alex was there

I wish I could stay up this late and then calm myself back down to get to sleep. But, I can’t so I’ll catch y’all tomorrow on the rewatch crew. Blessings everyone ❤

If I were Lori, I would have to start thinking about testifying against him. Because there’s no love lost there.

I like the fact that you are evaluating the role of the lawyers and not just hating on CD and JP

“Miss Texas comes in”, best line!!😂

This guy knew exactly what was done. I have no pityf for him. Killing xhildren is the worst!

I’m interested in following this trial. I’m also super interested in seeing Lori Daybell’s trial in AZ for the death of Charles Vallow. He tried so hard, relentlessly, to warn police his life had been threatened snd he worried for the children.

I really thought there would be a plea deal before opening arguments began today. I agree that John Prior has been portraying himself as unprepared, out-gunned, etc. but I think he's far more savvy and ready for this fight than we ever dreamed. He is not a great speaker, but all he really has to do is avoid the death penalty. He may pull it off. Thanks for your coverage of this trial.

It can't be all Lori because he wrote the books about the light and dark spirits and zombie stuff that all came from Chad.So it was like a perfect storm Lori being as mental unstable and evil then mix it with Chad daybell

Hello from WI! It was a gorgeous day! ☀️ I'm bartending and it's open mic night (very loud) but I'm still gonna try and sneak some listens to Peter while I'm in while "stocking". 😂

Thank you, thank you, thank you for covering this trial!!! I listened & followed Laurie Vallow (Daybell) trial & I am sooooo invested in this one!! Wow, opening statements for her was basically...thank you for paying your taxes so I can defend her and do my best when I know this looks really bad. Lori was adamant to her lawyers to not 'throw Chad under the bus'; fascinating that Chad throws Lori under the bus! Love Judge Boyce & I am doing my best to watch the live coverage (although hard to hear).

Please continue to follow this case!

Chad is the worst of the worst. He is a zombie, dark with a death rate 0, using. His scale. I hope he gets the DP.

You’re my favorite lawyer to watch! Thank you 💖

His bedroom looked out on the burial sites so why is he acting why he knew nothing.

Definitely interested in this trial! Thanks, Peter!

Please continue to cover this one!

Interested in your input. Way too hard to watch this trial for many reasons, I'll look forward to your nightly.

Idk why Prior didn’t just flat out say Lori and Alex killed tammy, jj and tylee

Am watching this trial but am very interested to get your opinions on it! I was looking all evening for your video to post about it. Thanks for covering it Peter!

I watched an overview show but haven't been keeping track of trials as they are both so guilty

Not once did he call the police to prevent anything from happening

Hello LYK. Thank you so much for your reaction. I think a divorce will be in the works very soon. I hope Chud is found guilty. Am I for the DP ? Well, I think life in a prison will be his just rewards.

As much as I understand everyone deserves good defence....but his lawyer played the " my client is a walking pen!$ a mindless male with no ability to think for himself when a pretty woman is around". If that's all his lawyer has, hes screwed.

Thanks for covering this. I’m following it for sure.

Really interested in following this case with you Peter. Thank you!😊🙏

Of course she is referred to as “Vallow” not Daybell.

Please continue following this. I love your recaps!!!

I wonder how soon to expect a divorce ?

Great commentary. Thanks Peter.

Interested in Chad Daybell trial👍

Thank you, amazing reporting

Thanks for your thoughts Peter! Looking forward to more!

Yes! Please follow because we can’t see or hear what’s going on!

The court room audio is HORRIBLE ????

The vouce recordings between Lori and Chad are extremely damning. Chads words made me physically sick and he is the one originally believing and writing snout light and dark spirits etc.

John Prior has put the best (and only possible defense) and he is putting in a fight. Kudos to him.

I knew someone would blame Alex

Yes! Please follow this trial!

This is my question…Prior told the jury to decide a verdict based on facts and evidence and not speculation. But yet, he throws Alex Cox, a dead guy, under the bus with no ability to prove or disprove his involvement in these murders…isn’t that speculation? And, Prior said that the Gilbert police said Chad had no involvement in Charles’s murder. But I thought they didn’t charge Chad because there wasn’t enough evidence to get a conviction…that is totally different than not having anything to do with it.

Another interesting video! I love your perspective on this.

She’s happy as long as she’s talked about.. Loris only fear is being forgotten.

Sorry I missed yall today. Long day with doctor appointments. Part of the rewatch crew

Not shocking he threw Lori under the bus. He has no loyalty to anyone but himself. Ask Tammy.

Always love your reviews

As always you help to explain the background so those of us who have not been following this case can keep up with the trial.

He's got 0 chance. Would be wild if he testified

He can't excuse 2 dead children buried on his property, and he can't excuse the death of his wife.

I don’t think that the defense should have immediately thrown Lori under the bus. I have no love for Lori, but Chad can’t say it was all her fault and he was just totally in the dark. I will be watching this trial very closely just as I did Lori’s case.

Great commentary! Thanks. I’m new to your channel and it’s a refreshing point of view. I’m interested to watch this trial and see what the defense does. At this point knowing what we know from Loris trial it does seem like an impossible win but its good to see an actual defense.

I think Chad would’ve had a better defense (at least as far as the children are concerned) if he didn’t bury them in his yard.

Hey Peter…I’m on St. Thomas Island and caught on replay!! This is going to be very interesting! You did a great job!!❤

I would not want to defend Daybell.

Thanks for the closed caption.

He can’t get any now. 😂

Loti must be SO PISSED

Being a defense attorney must be hard as you have to come up with all sorts of crap just to have a defense.

I'd love to see Lori Vallow's face when she finds out that Chad threw her under the bus!! How funny!

It may be enough to keep the death penalty away.

Maybe good strategy to go second but Tammy was his responsibility to love and protect

Agreed Peter! Thanks

Wish he'd just man up, save taxpayers money.

Please continue to follow this trial, I like your recaps of the days events

A World I Know Nothing About. Serious Mind-Games Being Played. Your Knowledge Is Invaluable. 💙

Great coverage

Interested!!

Keep it coming! ❤

Tammy was training for a marathon.She did Zumba classes.Worked fulltime.Was a mother.cooked cleaned.Cared for her kids.Was very active ❤❤❤

The misogyny in this defense makes me so sick.

I would love to hear your take on the Richard Allen Delphi trial
