yes, prior's modis operandi in questioning starts with 'would it surprise you to know'....as if what he is stating is accurate...witnesses who are familiar with testifying stay pretty tuned into the word salad....
it might come in some other way. hoping anyway.
Oh, yeah. She was so lazy. The night that Alex tried to shoot Tammy, she was returning home after a night of preparing freezer meals with some other ladies (who were doing the same for their own families). She had worked a full day at school, I am sure. But she gave of herself by making the freezer meals for the good of her family -- Chad Daybell included. He's lucky she didn't leave him before he killed her. He certainly did not deserve a woman like Tammy.
As I've said before, Tammy deserved a flourishing in middle age, a new awakening of who she was minus Chad, learning how to love living single, hug her grandbabies, play her video games without fear.
And don’t forget also supporting him! And running a 5 k! And clogging! And doing aerobics! And raising five kids. And active in her church. Yikes. Chad is the out of shape and the lazy one.
She also basically ran his whole publishing company. Covers, PR, all that jazz. People have testified that she was front of house, the one who responded to the business emails.
Yes indeed while CD was out and about on stolen money from another hard working man who was trying to provide for his wife who CD was "doing you know what to" in his "portal" per say.
Unfortunately, there are these dark conjunctions. Two people who meet and amplify the dangerous desires and impulses of each other. Parker and Hulme, Leopold and Loeb, Fourniret and Olivier... Vallow and Daybell are nothing new or original, they're just awful in a very familiar way to anyone who's read a lot of true crime, especially true crime stretching back to historical true crime. They're of a type that reflects one of the most lethal dynamics and bonds between human beings that has always existed as long as there have been people, in some form or another. It's there in school shooting pairs, it's there in couples who commit child abuse murders after a long campaign of torture, it's there in so-called 'Romeo and Juliet' teen couples who team up to kill their families. The key is different, but they're all playing the same tune. Sadism, excitement, power, sex, control, and money can all be factors. They're certainly all present in Vallow and Daybell. I see nothing unbelievable in what they did or why they did it, I just see the incalculable waste of it all and feel very, very sad and tired.
I wonder how many other people, kids included, would have been at risk if enough time had gone by. Wasn't that one of BBs concerns and why he didn't want Melaneice to have custody of their kids?
I love this photo of Tylee because of the insouciant smile. And the eye contact with the camera.
There are a lot of ugly stereotypes surrounding homeschooling, so when I hear those kind of statements, I like to try to present a different perspective.
First off, there are literally millions of children who are homeschooled, and it's currently the fastest-growing form of education in the United States. There are many reasons why parents may choose to homeschool. Some parents homeschool due to concerns about bullying, mental health, violence, and politics in public schools. Some homeschool due to the children's special needs not being adequately addressed or children needing more one-on-one instruction for success. On average, homeschooled students score higher on standardized tests and have higher college GPAs.
The vast majority of homeschooled children are not being homeschooled to hide abuse. They are homeschooled because their parents care deeply about their education, their mental health, and their overall well-being and are dissatisfied with their experiences in the public school system. On the flip side, there are many, many children within public schools with mandatory attendance who are being abused without their teachers or staff members ever suspecting.
Personally, I don't think it'd be unreasonable to require homeschooled students to receive annual physicals from a licensed physician or to make a quarterly or annual appearances to meet with district counselors about their educational goals and achievements, but since most decisions about education are handled at the state level, it's going to be a patchwork when it comes to who requires what.
And in this case, it makes very little difference. JJ was already deceased when LVD pulled him out of school, and if that weren't an option, she'd have just lied about where she was sending him anyway.

Testifying is a no-no, but lying should be sanctioned more harshly, IMO. We don't know if the jury will figure out that he's lying. There are so many details in this case that can easily get lost.
He said that Tammy wasn't an easy person to live with. Yeah, if only she didn't suspect he was cheating. His gaslighting wasn't working any more.
