In 2022, actors and ex-spouses Johnny Depp and Amber Heard squared off in a Virginia courtroom. Depp sued Heard for defamation after she wrote about domestic abuse in an op-ed that appeared in The Washington Post. Depp wasn't named in the article but claimed the piece implied he abused her, and as a result, he lost movie roles and faced public scorn. Heard countersued Depp, claiming his former attorney Adam Waldman defamed her by publicly calling her claims of abuse "a hoax."
After nearly 13 hours of deliberations over three days, the jury returned verdicts that mostly favored Depp.

In this episode of the Court TV Podcast, Vinnie Politan examines the circumstances and facts surrounding the case against OnlyFans model Courtney Clenney. She is accused of fatally stabbing her 27-year-old, live-in boyfriend, Christian Obumseli, in their Miami apartment in April 2022. Clenney is charged with second-degree murder and claims she acted in self-defense.
As part of their investigation, detectives obtained a search warrant for not only Courtney’s accounts but also those of her parents, Kim and Deborah Clenney. Based on what they found, prosecutors then filed computer crimes charges against the entire family. But those charges heavily relied on messages protected by attorney-client privilege, forcing prosecutors to drop the charges after a judge ruled the evidence was inadmissible.

Carly Gregg was just fourteen years old when prosecutors say she committed the unthinkable. She stands accused of fatally shooting her own mother and attempting to kill her stepfather. What would compel a young girl, with an outstanding academic record according to defense attorneys, to carry out such a heinous act? This episode of the Court TV Podcast features audio from a pre-trial motion hearing from 9/10/2024 before Carly Gregg faces a jury.

Then one day he vanished, his family telling police he'd left with just a few changes of clothing. But when Martin's body was discovered buried under a tomato patch in his yard, the biggest challenge investigators would face was narrowing down the number of suspects in a family where everyone wanted him dead.

In this episode, Vinnie digs into the reasons prosecutors believe Telles, now 47, killed German - over articles German wrote for the Las Vegas Review-Journal about Telles’ alleged inappropriate relationship with a female staffer. Las Vegas Metropolitan Police were able to locate surveillance video of a possible suspect from a nearby home’s security camera, and in this episode, Vinnie looks at all the evidence, including a straw sun hat and orange safety jacked, items that police later found pieces of in a vehicle that matched Telles' wife's SUV.

PODCAST- Vinnie Politan investigates the bizarre world of Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow Daybell, commonly referred to as “The Doomsday Couple.” Both faced charges in the deaths of Lori’s two children, 7-year-old JJ Vallow and 16-year-old Tylee Ryan, and Chad’s first wife, Tammy Daybell. Last year, Lori was convicted on conspiracy and first-degree murder charges and is serving the first of three consecutive life sentences without parole. Chad is on trial now, where prosecutors say Chad and Lori used their spiritual beliefs to cover a carefully calculated plan fueled by money, sex and power to kill those who stood in the way. Meanwhile, Chad’s attorney says no evidence connects Chad to the children’s murders despite their remains being discovered in his backyard.

In this special podcast episode, Vinnie Politan will look back at some of the most memorable moments in his investigation into The Doomsday Couple. Lori Vallow’s other brother, Adam Cox, and her uncle, Rex Conner, join Vinnie to give an inside look at Lori’s complex family dynamic, the murders and Chad Daybell’s trial. In the second half of this episode, Vinnie and his guests discuss the timeline of Lori and Chad’s relationship and Chad’s children who have stood by their father’s side throughout the investigation.

This week’s Court TV Podcast takes you in for a closer look at this case with an audio edition of our original series Someone They Knew with Tamron Hall.

STATE WITNESS 6: DET. NATHAN DUNCAN, CHANDLER, ARIZONA, POLICE DEPARTMENT

• Read aloud emails and texts found in phones and iCloud accounts associated with Lori, Charles and Chad.
• Charles emailed Tammy about the affair between their spouses in June 2019.
• Lori used a burner email account to send Chad speaking invitations as covers for visits to her.
• One of them purported to be from Charles asking Chad to be a “ghostwriter” for Charles’ autobiography. Charles found it and sent Lori emails confronting her about it and her affair, which included threats to reveal the affair to Tammy.
• Two days before Charles’ death, Lori texted Alex and said “the plot thickens… gonna need you to stay close for the next couple of days… it’s all coming to a head this week… I will be like Nephi… and so will you!”
• Lori exchanged texts with Zulema about their efforts to “put fire” and “burn” Hiplos, the name Lori gave for the second demon that she said had taken over Charles.
• The week after Charles’ death, Lori exchanged texts with Chad about her surprise at being removed as beneficiary from Charles’ insurance; blames it on “Ned,” the name they used for the first demon to inhabit Charles.
• Alex texted Lori that he set the Wifi password to “2manykids” and Lori responded “funny.”
• Two weeks after Charles’ death, Chad texted Lori: “I got the inspiration to go back to my original death percentages that helped us track Charles, Ned, etc. Tammy is very close. Her percentage has fallen steadily since Hiplos left. It is encouraging.”

FORMER FOLLOWER OF CHAD AND LORI’S; ALEX COX’S WIDOW

• Pastenes said she bought into Lori’s “charming” and “convincing” way of expressing things. Pastenes believed Lori was a person in “high spiritual standing” based on Lori’s claim that she was in direct contact with the angel Moroni and Jesus Christ. Pastenes felt similarly about Chad, who claimed he was the apostle James the Less in a previous life in which he was married to Lori.
• Pastenes painted a picture of a cult-like atmosphere in which Pastenes and other acolytes assisted Lori in “castings” to expel demons from her then-husband, Charles Vallow, who Chad and Lori allegedly believed was inhabited by a demon they called Ned, then another called Hiplos.
• Pastenes also participated in the attempted casting of a spirit Lori called Viola from Chad’s wife, Tammy Daybell, on the same day as the alleged attempted shooting of Tammy in October 2019. Pastenes said after the casting, Lori got a phone call that made her upset, and Lori said something to the effect of, “Idiot, can't do anything right by himself.”
• The jury saw drawings from Pastenes’ journal documenting the couple’s teachings, including the light/dark scale they used to rate people, and the steps involved in a casting.
• The jury saw photos of Pastenes with Lori, Chad, Melanie Gibb and other members of their inner circle at religious conferences in 2018 in St. George, Utah; Rexburg, Idaho; and Mesa, Arizona.
• Followers received blessings from Daybell about their past lives (or probations) and the roles they would play in the Second Coming of Jesus after the world’s end.
• The couple appeared to take a strong interest in Pastenes, who Daybell said was Lori’s daughter in a previous life who was raped, killed and dismembered at age 14.
• Prosecutor Rachel Smith also questioned Pastenes extensively about Alex Cox -- who Pastenes met through Vallow in 2018 and married in 2019 -- and Cox’s role as his sister’s protector or “warrior-defender.”
• Pastenes said Cox was unwavering in his devotion to the couple until they left for Hawaii after Tammy Daybell’s death and ceased contact with him.
• When Cox learned in December 2019 of Tammy Daybell’s planned exhumation, Pastenes said Cox remarked, “I think I’m being their fall guy.” Pastenes said that when she pressed him on what he meant, he said, “either I am a man of God or I’m not.” He died the next day.
• On cross, defense lawyer John Thomas expanded on the nature of the castings, drawing out the point that they were verbal in nature and did not involve physical acts or violence.
• On cross, Pastenes agreed that Lori and Chad’s teachings were similar to those espoused at “Preparing a People” religious conferences.
• On cross, Pastenes said she no longer believed in Chad and Lori or their teachings. Her experience with them had taught her to be more cautious of people’s motives and less apt to assume the best in them, she said.

Key Evidence from Day 4's Testimony  

1. As part of the investigation, Duncan found a 15-minute audio recording in Lori’s iCloud account of a tearful-sounding Chad exalting Alex Cox to warrior status after Cox’s death in a bastardized version of a “patriarchal blessing,” a Mormon prayer that contains revelations from God.

2. The jury also heard a phone call Chad placed on the day of Charles Vallow’s death to a Chandler mortuary, asking for a quote for the cremation and shipping of remains to Louisiana, where Charles’ sister, Kay Woodcock, lived. Chad, who said his last name was "Daybal," said he was asking for his uncle who had died in a hospital.
