Published: May 12, 2023, 3:33 p.m.

b"During closing arguments, the State argues Lori is the common thread in these three murders, while the defense blames Chad Daybell's influence over her. The State brought back the theme from openings of money, power, and sex and said Lori is the common thread in these three murders... she is the one person who ties this all together. The state also points out Lori\\u2019s story changes dramatically in October 2018, when she read some of Chad\\u2019s end-of-the-world books, then met him. The defense attacks the state\\u2019s money, power, and sex argument, saying Lori wanted to be a leader, but she wasn't leading anyone, she's following Chad."
