TL;DR
Prosecutors claim that Chad Daybell's pursuit of "sex, money and power" led to him killing his first wife and his second wife's two children, whom they believed to be "dark spirits" and "zombies." Daybell's trial began with opening statements, where the prosecution described him as an ordinary man with a desire for sex, money, and power. Defense attorneys portrayed Daybell as a man with no remarkable background, while also highlighting the manipulative nature of his second wife, Lori Vallow. The trial is expected to last around nine weeks, and Daybell faces the death penalty if convicted of murder.
