Will The Jury Call BS On Chad Daybell’s 'Manipulation' Argument?

Nov 28, 2023, 10:00 PM

In the ever-twisting saga of Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow Daybell, a recent revelation has thrown a new curveball into the mix. Chad Daybell, fighting for his life and trying to avoid the death penalty, has pointed the finger at Lori, alleging manipulation and control. This development was discussed in depth on the "Hidden Killers" podcast, where host Tony Brueski was joined by Trial Consultant and Body Language Expert Susan Constantine to dissect these latest twists.
 
 Constantine, an expert in deciphering hidden truths in human behavior, was not surprised by Chad's move. "It was predictable," she stated. Throughout the ordeal, she believed that Chad was setting the stage to betray Lori, a plan that has now come to fruition. "I'm sure that Lori Vallow is wallowing in her self-pity in that jail cell... I don't think she thought for one minute that she was going to be betrayed by him," Constantine added, shedding light on the possible shock this betrayal might have caused Lori.
 
 The podcast delved into the intricacies of their relationship, examining how each might have influenced the other in the lead-up to the tragic events they are accused of orchestrating. Constantine drew parallels with the Casey Anthony trial, where a similar strategy was employed - using a family member as a scapegoat.
 
 Constantine expressed her curiosity about Lori Vallow's mental state in the wake of this development. "This is a person who has been controlled by Chad Daybell, bought into the whole cult belief and zombies... she is so indoctrinated into Chad Daybell's cult belief that I think that at this point in time, it's going to be like a huge big wave of awakening for her," she explained.
 
 Regarding the possibility of Lori testifying against Chad, Constantine hoped for a turn of events where Lori might retaliate against Chad's betrayal. "Wouldn't that be great for her to take the stand and then say, 'Well, you threw me under the bus and you abandoned me. Now, guess what? I'm going to tell them what really happened'," Constantine mused. However, she acknowledged the risks involved in such a move, given the unpredictable nature of both Lori and Chad's personalities.
 
 The discussion also touched upon Chad's ability to manipulate and control narratives. Constantine described him as "highly narcissistic" and "detached from reality," but also "very cunning." She questioned whether his level of narcissism and detachment from the horrific nature of their alleged crimes would allow him to convincingly perform in front of a jury.
 
 As the podcast concluded, Brueski and Constantine reflected on the broader implications of the case. They pondered the mental health crisis evident in such extreme cases and the societal factors that might contribute to such tragic outcomes.
 
 The "Hidden Killers" episode leaves listeners with a thought-provoking question: In the shadowy world of Chad and Lori Daybell, where manipulation and delusion intertwine, can justice ever truly be served? And as this saga continues to unfold, what other revelations might come to light in the courtroom?
