Apr 09, 03:00 PM

In the latest episode of 'Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski,' the spotlight shines on the bizarre and tragic case of Chad Daybell, a case swirling with apocalyptic beliefs, zombie accusations, and the unfortunate deaths of children. Eric Faddis, a seasoned defense attorney and former prosecutor, explores the intricate challenge of defending someone entrenched in such otherworldly convictions. Daybell's trial, marked by its inclusion of supernatural elements and grave allegations, presents a unique dilemma: how to humanize and defend a client whose worldview drastically deviates from the norm. The discussion traverses the difficulties posed by the involvement of children in the case, amplifying the jury's task to navigate through a landscape filled with mystical claims and heartbreaking evidence. Faddis suggests that mental health defenses and the profound impact of the grotesque crime scene revelations could shape the trial's outcome. As Daybell's beliefs take center stage, the conversation delves into the strategic complexities of presenting a defense in the face of overwhelming public and juridical scrutiny.
