Jurors weigh death penalty after finding 'doomsday' stepdad Chad Daybell guilty in 3 murders

A day after delivering a guilty verdict in Chad Daybell's murder trial, an Idaho jury will reconvene to weigh whether he will face the death penalty.

Law enforcement found the remains of Tylee and JJ on Chad Daybell's Fremont County property in June 2020, authorities said. The state described him as a power-hungry and grandiose man who would stop at nothing for "what he considered his rightful destiny." His defense lawyer portrayed Daybell as a religious man driven into an unfortunate relationship by a "beautiful, vivacious woman" who knew "how to get what she wants."

When Daybell "had a chance at what he considered his rightful destiny," Wood said, he "made sure that no person and no law would stand in his way." Prior, the defense attorney, said Daybell's life began to change after he met Vallow Daybell, a "beautifully stunning woman" who "starts giving him a lot of attention" and eventually lured him into an "inappropriate" and "unfortunate" extramarital relationship.

When police returned with a search warrant the next day, the couple was gone. They were ultimately found in Hawaii in January 2020.
