Absolutely LOVE the iron cold stare from JJ 's Grandpa behind Chad. That man is a pillar for those kids🙏

[thelilacghost]

As a former Mormon, all I can say is that brainwashing is a helluva thing.

[linseyskelly]

Listen to Melanie and Lori argue. The arrogance of religion is disgusting. "My god is bigger than your god. My interpretation is better than yours".
It's like arguing who's better, the Easter Bunny or the tooth fairy.

[naomi.]

They will never admit to what they did.

[joszennaoliver]

she is a reluctant witness. she is trying to distant herself by giving non chalant answers. this was a cult of 4 or six people who all believed the same, by her demeanor on the stand shes giving the impression of "all i know is what she told me " defense. she answers questions like shes trying to pass a lie detector test.

Chad: "I just know that my life has two segments"
Lady Justice⚖️: "🙋🏽‍♀️Hey Chad🙋🏽‍♀️"

[thelilacghost]

Lori trying to gaslight her... so infuriating.

[lindsaybeard]

hope they both get the max, those poor kids. so disgusting what they did if they didn't want the kids plenty others would have taken them and showed them true love and life

[usakiwi]

Melanie Gibb didn't feel shook up enough to stop it

[thelilacghost]

"He is safe. And happy." Chad and Lori are excrement.

[doloressherrard]

Why do yall keep showing new updates when this is becoming old news???

[mushyPeas]

The fact is, Gibb initially lied to police and damaged an investigation from the start. She should be charged as well. Gibb tries to act holier than now, but she is also to blame.

[marjieestivill]

The first nail in their coffins. Good job laying a foundation for the case.

[kdfulton]

Melanie Gibb is so out there. She seems like the type that would believe in zombies and “end times”. She’s a fruit loop AND she didn’t get along well with Tylee; she supposedly was always judgmental and argumentative with her. Poor Tylee, surrounded by lunatics. She didn’t stand a chance.

[noelnewlon]

The court's continued tolerance of Lori's resistance is a travesty of justice.

[PriorLib]

Melanie is as deep in this as anyone. I can’t wait for Chad or Lori to spill their guts and say how she was involved. She seems so scared and just trying to save her own ass up there wondering when it’s going to happen.

[Almondeyezzz]

Will you be covering the whole trial? If so I'll be watching

[The_Troll]

I am eager to find out what kind of imunity deal she has made with Idaho for her testimony.

[oakavon]

No point in wearing her mask if it doesn’t cover her nose as well 😷
