In our weekly update on the upcoming trial to be held in Boise, eastidahonews reporter Kaitlyn Hart reports Judge Steven Boyce has ruled against Chad Daybell's request to sever his case from his wife's. The Daybells are charged with multiple counts of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder in the deaths of 7-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow and 16-year-old Tylee Ryan – two of Lori’s kids – along with Daybell’s previous wife, Tammy Daybell. The trial was to start in January, but a postponement was granted. No new trial date has been set. (eastidahonews)
