The making of a murderer

+ the three degrees of apostasy

Anyone following the Chad Daybell / Lori Vallow case? Lori is currently on trial in Idaho for murder, conspiracy, and grand theft. Chad's lawyer successfully petitioned to have his trial separated from Lori's, though they are charged with many of the same things. His court date has not yet been set.

Chad Daybell lived less than 20 minutes north of us and was fairly well-known in Mormon "preparedness" circles. Our neighbor and former ward member (local Mormon congregation) Chris Parrett ran the LDS AVOW (AVOW = Another Voice of Warning) website that sold Chad's books and also hosted a membership forum wherein Chad was an active poster, often sharing his dreams, prophecies, and revelations about the End Times.
