BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Jury deliberations are underway in the trial of an Idaho man accused of killing his wife and his girlfriend’s two youngest children. Chad Daybell is charged with three counts of first-degree murder in connection with the 2019 deaths. Prosecutors claim that Daybell and his girlfriend, Lori Vallow Daybell, conspired to kill Tammy Daybell and the children because they wanted to obtain money from survivor benefits and life insurance. Daybell’s defense attorney says there isn’t enough evidence to tie Daybell to the deaths. Daybell could face the death penalty if he is convicted. Lori Vallow Daybell was convicted in the killings last year and received a life sentence.
