Chad Daybell murder case: Prosecution rests, defense motion denied

0:00

The prosecution wrapped up their case in Chad Daybell’s murder trial in Boise, Idaho, but the transition to the defense was not smooth. Chad Daybell’s attorney, John Prior, motioned for a judgment of acquittal, claiming the prosecution lacked enough evidence for a guilty verdict. Judge Boyce dismissed the motion on all counts except one due to an error in the indictment regarding the time of death of one of the victims. The state claimed it was a clerical error, but Prior argued against any changes to the indictment after the prosecution rests. The judge ultimately concluded it was a clerical error and the defense would begin presenting their case on May 20.
