#LoriVallowTrial @LawCrimeNetwork

This will be a short thread as court is ending early today.

#LoriVallowTrial @LawCrimeNetwork

@mentions@LawCrimeNetwork Court is back in session. Jury entering.

@LawCrimeNetwork

@mentions@LawCrimeNetwork Coroner Brenda Dye still under direct examination.

#LoriVallowTrial
@LawCrimeNetwork

@mentions@LawCrimeNetwork Blake clarifies that Chad is the one that brought up Tammy having fainting spells but he did not mention the seizure/shaking until Dye had asked about it. #LoriVallowTrial
@LawCrimeNetwork

@mentions@LawCrimeNetwork Dye ruled Tammy's death natural causes but when the investigation was re-opened and Tammy's body was exhumed, she attended that autopsy in Utah.
#LoriVallowTrial
@LawCrimeNetwork

@mentions@LawCrimeNetwork The Utah medical examiner, after exhuming Tammy's body, found the cause of death to be asphyxiation/suffocation and the manner of death was homicide.
#LoriVallowTrial
@LawCrimeNetwork

@mentions@LawCrimeNetwork Dye says she plans to amend Tammy's death certificate. Archibald asks her why she hasn't changed it yet. She said she's waiting until after trial. He asks would the outcome change depending on the trial? She says no.
#LoriVallowTrial
@LawCrimeNetwork

@mentions@LawCrimeNetwork Dye really didn't make sense why she said she hasn't amended the death certificate yet. Shouldn't matter that the case is in trial, either that's the cause and manner of death or it's not.

@mentions@LawCrimeNetwork Chad's daughter Emma was "very adamant" about not wanting an autopsy done on her mother per Dye.
#LoriVallowTrial
@LawCrimeNetwork

@mentions@LawCrimeNetwork Dye testifies Emma didn't want that done to her mom. (autopsy)
#LoriVallowTrial
@LawCrimeNetwork

@mentions@LawCrimeNetwork Cross: You believed Chad's version of events at that time?
Dye: Yes
Archibald: Chad Daybell convinced you, your deputy the officer..that nothing bad happened.

@LawCrimeNetwork

@mentions@LawCrimeNetwork Next witness: Spencer Cook, technology director for the Sugar -Salem school district. This will be about Tammy's work email at the school.
#LoriVallowTrial
@LawCrimeNetwork

@mentions@LawCrimeNetwork In April 2021, Cook was contacted by authorities about Tammy's school district email. They wanted him to look at Tammy's emails for the week of June 29,2019.
#LoriVallowTrial
@LawCrimeNetwork

@mentions@LawCrimeNetwork Cook found an email from Charles Vallow to Tammy.

#LoriVallowTrial
@LawCrimeNetwork

@mentions@LawCrimeNetwork Charles Vallow's email address was blocked by Tammy's email.
#LoriVallowTrial
@LawCrimeNetwork

@mentions@LawCrimeNetwork Charles sent one email to Tammy on June 29, 2019. No testimony on if that email was opened. Why did she have Charles' email blocked? Did she do it or did Chad? We know Charles was going to tell Tammy about the affair. #LoriVallowTrial
@LawCrimeNetwork

@mentions@LawCrimeNetwork Next witness: Kelsey Harris. Tammy took a clogging class from Harris and they both worked at the same school.
#LoriVallowTrial
@LawCrimeNetwork

@mentions@LawCrimeNetwork Tammy began taking clogging classes end of Aug or the beginning of Sept. 2019 and until her death.

#LoriVallowTrial
@LawCrimeNetwork

@mentions@LawCrimeNetwork Clogging is a high-cardio activity. Tammy never had any problems in that class per Harris.
#LoriVallowTrial
@LawCrimeNetwork

@mentions@LawCrimeNetwork Harris also took a high-fit workout class with Tammy in late September 2019. Tammy had no problem keeping up. Remember Chad told everyone that she'd been not feeling well, having fainting spells, etc...
#LoriVallowTrial
@LawCrimeNetwork

@mentions@LawCrimeNetwork No cross-exam of Harris.

#LoriVallowTrial
@LawCrimeNetwork

@mentions@LawCrimeNetwork Next witness is Shanna Miller, worked with Tammy Daybell.
#LoriVallowTrial
@LawCrimeNetwork

@mentions@LawCrimeNetwork Shanna also took a high fitness class with Tammy. She testified she was in great shape, healthy, happy.

#LoriVallowTrial
@LawCrimeNetwork

@mentions@LawCrimeNetwork Shanna saw Tammy the day before she died. She wasn't coughing, she didn't appear sick. Everything seemed normal.
#LoriVallowTrial
@LawCrimeNetwork

@mentions@LawCrimeNetwork Shanna said there was going to be no funeral for Tammy. The school and the community wanted to honor Tammy. The principal planned a memorial service for Tammy.
#LoriVallowTrial
@LawCrimeNetwork

@mentions@LawCrimeNetwork No cross.

@mentions@LawCrimeNetwork That's it for today. The witnesses went faster than the state had planned (due to no to little cross). Trial resumes Monday morning at 8:30am MT.
