BOISE, Idaho — Attorneys representing Chad Daybell were expected to appear in court on July 20 to argue motions ahead of their client's upcoming murder trial in 2024, before the hearing was abruptly canceled.

Chad is on trial facing charges of conspiracy and murder in the deaths of his ex-wife Tammy Daybell and the two youngest children of his second wife, Lori Vallow Daybell.
