Chad Daybell found guilty of killing first wife and second wife’s 2 children

  • Unique Points
    • Chad Daybell was found guilty of first-degree murder and conspiracy charges in the deaths of his first wife Tammy Daybell and two children of his second wife Lori Vallow - 16-year-old Tylee Ryan and 7-year-old Joshua 'JJ' Vallow.
    • Tammy Daybell was found dead in her Idaho home on October 19, 2019, and Tylee and JJ were last seen in September 2019.
    • The remains of Tylee and JJ were found on Chad Daybell’s Fremont County property in June 2020.
    • Idaho prosecutors claim the killings were fueled by power, sex, money and apocalyptic spiritual beliefs.
    • Chad Daybell could face the death penalty.
    • Tammy Daybell was initially believed to have died in her sleep, but authorities later found evidence suggesting foul play.
    • Vallow Daybell was convicted of the murder of her children and sentenced to life in prison without parole. She also was convicted of conspiring to kill Tammy Daybell.
    • The trial began with contrasting portraits of Chad Daybell - the state describing him as a power-hungry and grandiose man, while his defense lawyer portrayed him as a religious man driven into an unfortunate relationship.
  • Accuracy
    No Contradictions at Time Of Publication
  • Deception (100%)
    None Found At Time Of Publication
  • Fallacies (95%)
    The article contains some inflammatory rhetoric and appeals to authority, but no formal or blatant logical fallacies were found. The authors describe Chad Daybell as a 'power-hungry and grandiose man' who is 'driven into an unfortunate relationship' by Lori Vallow, implying that she holds some sort of malevolent influence over him. However, this is not a logical fallacy as it is simply the authors' interpretation of events based on the evidence presented in the article. The authors also quote Idaho prosecutors stating that 'each homicide was especially heinous, atrocious or cruel, manifesting exceptional depravity.' This is an appeal to authority as it relies on the opinion of a third party rather than providing logical reasoning or evidence to support the claim. However, this does not significantly impact the overall score as it only makes up a small portion of the article.
    • Two dead children buried in the defendant Chad Daybell's backyard
    • The next month his wife is found dead in their marital bed. Seventeen days after the death of his wife, Tammy Daybell, this defendant is photographed laughing and dancing on a beach in Hawaii at his wedding to Lori Vallow

    • Melanie Gibb testified that Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell shared beliefs about people being overtaken by dark, evil energy.
  • Deception (0%)
    The article contains several examples of deception. First, the author uses emotional manipulation by describing the children's bodies being found and showing horrific photos to the jury early in the trial. This is intended to elicit an emotional response from readers and jurors. Second, there is selective reporting as only details that support the author's position are reported. For instance, no mention is made of any evidence or testimony that could potentially exonerate Chad Daybell. Third, there are statements implying facts without linking to peer-reviewed studies which have not been retracted in the science and health article sections of the article.
    • Chad Daybell also was charged with two counts of insurance fraud.
    • , Horrific and heart-wrenching photos from the scene were shown to the jury early in the trial.

In such cases, the jury would then hear from the two sides about any aggravating and mitigating circumstances, before deciding whether a death sentence is appropriate. Prosecutors said Daybell concocted wild, religion-tinged fantasies about people becoming zombies to justify grisly crimes
