    Judge Orders Permanent Sealing of Exhibits in Chad Daybell Murder Trial to Protect Victims' Families

    Judge Orders Permanent Sealing of Exhibits in Chad Daybell Murder Trial to Protect Victims' Families

    In a move to protect the privacy and dignity of the victims' families, Judge Steven Boyce has permanently sealed nearly 100 exhibits from the high-profile Chad Daybell murder trial. The decision, announced after Daybell was sentenced to death for the murders of Tammy Daybell, Joshua “JJ” Vallow, and Tylee Ryan, comes in response to multiple requests for access to the evidence from authors and media members.

    “Certain requests seek to obtain all of the exhibits in this case, with some expressly requesting the autopsy photos published to the jury,” Judge Boyce explained in his order. “The Court notes that at trial those photos were published to the jurors, the parties, the Court, and in some instances privately to the victims, upon their request. They were not, however, publicly disseminated.”

    Judge Boyce stressed the importance of balancing the victims' rights with the public's right to information, particularly highlighting the impact on the families involved. He noted that several victim impact statements during the sentencing expressed deep distress over the behavior of individuals claiming to be media. These individuals, Boyce pointed out, have often sensationalized the tragedy, causing ongoing psychological trauma to the families.

    “The Court was particularly moved by several victim impact statements at sentencing expressly criticizing individuals proclaiming to be ‘media’ who, in the course of this case, have disrupted the lives of the families of these victims,” Boyce wrote. “Some of those family members described in detail the psychological trauma they have unfairly been subjected to by the ‘media,’ simply because they had some familial relationship to the victims in this case.”

    Boyce clarified that his reference to “media” does not include established and historically recognized reporting agencies but rather targets "true crime" bloggers and YouTubers who have exploited the case for sensational content. By sealing 97 exhibits, including autopsy photos and images of human remains found on Daybell’s property, Boyce aims to protect the families from further distress.

    “The interests of the victims and their family members to be spared the ongoing trauma of such sensitive or gruesome material being disseminated is not outweighed by the right of public disclosure of this evidence,” Boyce wrote. “Victims Tylee Ryan, JJ Vallow, Tamara Douglas Daybell and their family members’ respect, dignity and privacy are best protected by the continued sealing of these exhibits.”

    This decision underscores the court’s commitment to prioritizing the mental health and privacy of those directly affected by the tragic events, ensuring that they are not further victimized by public exposure to graphic evidence. As the legal proceedings surrounding Chad Daybell's case continue to unfold, the court's ruling reflects a broader concern about the ethical responsibilities of media coverage in high-profile criminal cases.
