NEW YORK — A member of the Idaho jury that convicted Lori Vallow Daybell in the murders of her two youngest children is speaking out for the first time.
"Growing up, you talk about good and bad, god and evil. And I think for the first time in my life, I put a face to evil," juror Saul Hernandez told ABC News in an exclusive interview that aired Wednesday onLori and her husband, Chad Daybell, were both charged with two counts of first-degree murder for the 2019 deaths of her two youngest children, 16-year-old Tylee Ryan and 7-year-old Joshua"J.J." Vallow.
Lori was deemed fit to stand trial last year following a 10-month stint at an Idaho mental health facility. Her defense attorneys had said they did not plan to raise a mental health defense at the guilt-phase portion of the trial. As a juror, Hernandez said he felt Lori's beliefs began with"curiosity" but were solidified"once Chad came into the picture."
Prosecutors also shared photographs of Lori and Chad dancing on a beach during their wedding in Hawaii when her children's bodies were buried in his backyard. Hernandez told ABC News that he was"disgusted" by the images while sitting in the jury.
