An emotional day inside the courtroom here in Boise, Idaho as attorneys delivered closing arguments in the capital murder case of Chad Daybell.
Chad Daybell listened closely as his defense counsel pointed the finger at Lori Vallow Daybell and Alex Cox. Everyone else but Chad Daybell.
"The target was not Tammy Daybell. He was the target," exclaimed Defense Attorney John Prior.
The state focused on the killings of Charles Vallow, Tammy Daybell and the murders of J.J. Vallow and Tylee Ryan.
Prosecutor Lindsey Blake listed, "Money, power, and sex. That's what the defendant cared about."
J.J.'s biological grandfather said, listening to the state talk about his grandson during the closing argument was tough.
"When Lindsey covered J.J., that hurt me more than anything. It hurt Kay, it hurt our friends, our family," said Larry Woodcock, J.J.'s grandfather.

"I had to, I was getting too emotional," said Woodcock.
