Chad Daybell Found Guilty in Gruesome 'Zombie' Murder Trial

Jury Delivers Verdict After Two-Month Trial

Daybell Convicted of Killing Ex-Wife, Stepchildren

In a stunning conclusion to a nearly two-month trial, Chad Daybell has been found guilty of first-degree murder in the deaths of his ex-wife, Tammy Daybell, and his two stepchildren, Joshua "JJ" Vallow and Tylee Ryan.

The verdict, delivered on Thursday, caps a gruesome and bizarre trial that has captivated the nation. Prosecutors presented a chilling case against Daybell, arguing that he carried out the murders as part of his twisted beliefs in a "dark harvest."

Jurors were presented with evidence that Daybell had planned to murder Tammy Daybell and his stepchildren in order to marry his current wife, Lori Vallow Daybell, and take their children, JJ and Tylee, for his own.

Daybell's defense attorneys argued that he was a loving husband and father who had no motive to kill his family. However, the jury ultimately rejected their claims, finding him guilty of all three murders.

The verdict is a major victory for prosecutors and the families of the victims. Tammy Daybell, JJ Vallow, and Tylee Ryan were all innocent victims of a heartless and senseless crime. Daybell's conviction brings a measure of justice to their loved ones and sends a clear message that violence against women and children will not be tolerated.
