An Idaho judge has banned cameras from the courtroom in the high-profile triple murder case against Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell.
The judge who issued the ban for the upcoming trial involving Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell is worried coverage could impede the court's ability to find fair and unbiased jurors.An Idaho judge has banned cameras from the courtroom in the high-profile triple murder case against a mother and her new husband, saying he fears the images could prevent a fair trial.
A coalition of more than 30 news organizations including The Associated Press asked the judge to reject the defense attorneys' motion. The prosecuting attorney in the case, meanwhile, sided with the defense and said the cameras should be banned. Prosecuting attorney Rob Wood said the news coverage could make it hard for the court to find an impartial jury when the case goes to trial next year.
Boyce said he has had to proactively avoid viewing the news coverage of the case because it is routinely part of local and sometimes national news. He noted that he has already decided to move the trial across the state to Ada County in hopes of improving the chances of finding impartial jurors. The couple was eventually charged with murder, conspiracy and grand theft in connection with the deaths of the children and Daybell’s late wife. They have pleaded not guilty and could face the death penalty if convicted.
