DEATH PENALTY -COURT ROOM AUDIO- Chad Daybell Sentenced to Death for Murders of Wife and Two Stepchildren
Digest
This special report from True Crime Today and the Hidden Killers podcast covers the sentencing of Chad Debel for the murders of his first wife, Tammy Debel, and two of his second wife's children, Tyler Ryan and Joshua Vallow. The jury found Debel guilty of first-degree murder and conspiracy in the deaths of all three victims and recommended the death penalty. The court then sentenced Debel to death on all six counts related to the murders. The court also sentenced Debel to 15 years in prison on two counts of insurance fraud, which were separate from the murder charges. The court considered the victim impact statements and evidence presented during the trial and found that Debel's actions were intertwined with the murder charges and that any lesser sentence would depreciate the seriousness of the offenses. The court also noted that Debel had been incarcerated for a long time and had a previous law-abiding history, but ultimately found that imprisonment was the most appropriate punishment and deterrent. The court also ordered restitution to be paid to Life Map and Primerica, the insurance companies involved in the fraud case. The court also addressed the post-conviction procedures that would apply in this capital case, including the automatic stay of execution and the deadlines for filing appeals and legal challenges.
