Chad Daybell's lawyer appeals his death sentence

PHOENIX — Chad Daybell's attorney has filed documents to appeal his death sentence.

The judge sentenced Chad Daybell to death Saturday after a jury found him guilty of murdering the two children of his wife Lori Vallow, who lived in the Valley. He was also convicted of murdering his first wife, Tammy Daybell. Chad Daybell was sentenced to death for their three murders.

New documents reveal that John Prior, Chad Daybell's attorney throughout the trial, filed an appeal Monday against Chad Daybell's “judgment and death sentence.”

Some of the issues detailed by Daybell's attorney in the notice of appeal documents concern the motions to dismiss, whether the court provided current instructions to the jury and whether the court should have allowed the State to amend his indictment after resting his case during trial.

Chad Daybell has since been incarcerated at a maximum security prison in Idaho. Records show Chad Daybell was transferred Monday morning to the Idaho Maximum Security Institution, located outside Boise.

Prior also filed a motion asking the court to appoint Chad Daybell a public defender for post-conviction proceedings.

Lori Vallow was convicted in the case last year and sentenced to life in prison in Idaho. She is also appealing her case.
