9:53 a.m. I am sitting next to three jurors from Lori Vallow’s trial – Tom Evans, Laura (who I interviewed a few weeks ago) and another lady who served on the jury. They have regularly attended Chad Daybell’s trial since it started on April 10. Jury selection for this trial began Apr. 1 – over 8 weeks ago.

9:52 a.m. Spectators are now seated in the gallery. Idaho Attorney General Raul Labrador is in the courtroom. Many of the officers and deputies who testified are here. Chad Daybell is sitting next to John Prior at defense table. Prosecutors are at their table. Madison Co. Prosecuting Attorney Rob Wood did opening statements – my guess is Fremont Co. Prosecuting Attorney Lindsey Blake does closing arguments.

9:49 a.m. In line outside the courtroom inside the Ada County Courthouse. People without tickets started lining up at 5 am to try to get into closing arguments. Proceedings begin at 10 a.m. Larry and Kay Woodcock just walked by and entered the courtroom. Law enforcement officers from multiple agencies just walked into the courtroom.
