ST. ANTHONY, Idaho (Scripps News Boise) — A trial date was set Wednesday for Chad Daybell who is accused of killing three people, including Tylee Ryan and Joshua “JJ” Vallow.
During a virtual conference meeting, Judge Steven Boyce agreed to schedule Daybell’s jury trial to begin on Nov. 8, the East Idaho News reports.
The trial is expected to last five weeks.
