#eastidahonews #daybell #trial

Defense attorney Jim Archibald gave closing arguments in the Lori Vallow Daybell case. Listen to what he had to say in the video player above.

Hey Mr. Archibald, LVD wasn’t planning on living on $4000.00 per month social security. She was planning on living on a 1 Million dollar life insurance policy.

Obviously I don’t agree with his arguments, but I’m absolutely living for Archibald calling Chad stupid, poor, and ugly 😂🤣

[vickiedutton]

Lori has shown no remorse for her children. Let that sink in.

[TeaSpiracy]

Lori was SO MAD that Archibald called Chad's books "stupid" that she CRIED and had a little temper tantrum about it.
Imagine that? Her kids are dead and she is worried about his book being called stupid.
Also, his books ARE stupid and of course Archibald had to do his job by stating the obvious.🙄

[evakociszewski]

There is no defense for what she has done no defense

[MelodieKate]

He forgets to mention Lori thought she would get his life insurance and did not find out she did not until he was dead.

I never thought I would say this, but, I actually really feel sorry for this defence lawyer. He knows she is as guilty as hell but he knows, it’s also his job to stand in that court while thousands of others are listening in to his closing argument. I think the emotional tears he shows are more about the overwhelming stress of the passed few weeks are now coming to a head. He has done his job to the best of his ability to defend this monster who is clearly guilty. Not an easy job!

[karenleah]

I like what he laid out. Chad vs Charles. Made her look like a complete idiot and her defense is saying it point by point. Chads a loser making his wife work for 15k a year while being responsible for 5 kids and Chad writing ✍️ stupid books tgat sound like an 8th grade boy

After throwing Chad under the bus in his closing argument, Archibald is now at 0%.

[reynaolvera]

I did laugh when Archibald said Chad “couldn’t sell enough stupid books.” 🤭

[non-ya]

It's funny when Lori's defense attorney claims she had no involvement in killing her kids after asking multiple times if they were close to death to Chad. I guess the defense can't figure out a real defense, so they just pretend they didn't hear all the text messages regarding having her kids killed. Sad defense

[RachelXKnight]

I feel so bad for defense lawyers when there is overwhelming evidence of guilt but they still need to do their jobs

[SaltyDplorable]

Did Archibald just call Chad an ugly troll?! 🤣🤣😂😂😂

[silversun]

She did all those things to keep it looking normal. She did not want to draw attention to what they were going to do! I'm sorry Archibald, if this wasn't planned she is worse than I can imagine - because if those kid's deaths were a surprise to her, she showed no care or emotion over their deaths

[GGY]

When your own attorney calls you stupid to believe the lies your cheap lover, leader of 6 followers out of 144, 000, promised you. No wonder she cried today. Mixed feelings from goddess and power to weak minded house wife. He broke her evil heart. Can't wait for the verdict. Thanks EIN

[slyphwing]

The defense really had nothing to work with.

[Gilded-girl]

“She spent her whole life protecting her children.” - Until she didn’t.

[roxanamcglinchey]

I actually feel very sorry for the defense lawyer. He sounded like he was struggling throughout his speech. No conviction in his voice. By law Lori must have a fair trial. Her lawyer did his job. However, he felt she was guilty as sin! He sounded like he didnt want to be there. I do feel for him..

[non-ya]

Also, I feel like the defense is helping the prosecution by giving these stupid examples of how Lori was not involved in Tammy's death, when texts and chats prove otherwise. Why would Lori's brother want to take part in a murder of a lady that had nothing to do with him, except his sister

[judysibley]

Sadly there was not much he could use to defend her so Chad must be the only one he could put the total blame on. If Lori didn’t know the kids were in his backyard where would she have thought they were? Must be hard to try to prove someone innocent when you must know they’re not…such a sad world we live in.
