More Magical Thinking In The Trial Of Chad Daybell

In this episode of 'Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski,' Jennifer Coffindaffer, a retired FBI special agent, discusses the ongoing trial of Chad Daybell, highlighting the striking aspects of the trial, including the return of witnesses from the Lori Vallow case and their continued bizarre testimonies. The episode delves into the alleged supernatural beliefs and manipulations by Chad Daybell, such as convincing followers of his ability to predict deaths and reincarnations, and Zulema Pastenes' claimed weather-controlling powers. Coffindaffer criticizes the defense’s lack of substantial evidence and the concerning courtroom procedures that may lead to future appeals. The discussion emphasizes the unusual nature of the case, involving claims of magical powers and reincarnation used to justify actions within a dangerous cult-like context. Coffindaffer also expresses concerns over the trial's handling and the potential implications for an appeal due to the way witnesses are allowed to provide extended narratives without direct questioning.
