PHOENIX — Chad Daybell’s attorney has filed paperwork to appeal his death sentence.
The judge sentenced Chad Daybell to death on Saturday after a jury convicted him of murdering his wife Lori Vallow’s two kids, who used to live in the Valley. He was also convicted of killing his first wife, Tammy Daybell. Chad Daybell was sentenced to death for all three of their murders.
New records reveal that John Prior, Chad Daybell’s attorney throughout the trial, filed to appeal Chad Daybell’s "judgment and sentence of death" on Monday.
Some of the issues detailed by Daybell’s attorney in the Notice of Appeal paperwork are questions over motions to dismiss, whether the court provided current jury instruction and whether the court should have allowed the state to amend its indictment after resting its case during trial.
Chad Daybell has since been booked into a maximum security prison in Idaho. Records indicate Chad Daybell was moved Monday morning to the Idaho Maximum Security Institution, which is outside of Boise.
Prior also filed a motion asking the court to appoint Chad Daybell a public defender for post-conviction proceedings.
Lori Vallow was convicted in this case last year and sentenced to life in prison in Idaho. She’s also appealing her case.
