In the latest episode of 'Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski,' former Felony Prosecutor and attorney Eric Faddis discusses new developments in the Chad Daybell trial. The focus shifts increasingly toward Chad's influence and control over the events, contradicting earlier beliefs that Lori Vallow was the primary instigator. Testimony from Zulema Pastenes highlighted the ongoing belief in supernatural powers, such as controlling the weather, which adds complexity to the case against Daybell. The narrative emerging from the trial paints a picture of Chad as a central figure in promoting dangerous beliefs, which were used to manipulate those around him, including justifications for horrific actions like the foretold deaths of children.

Key points from the conversation:
- The evolving narrative places Chad Daybell more centrally in the manipulation and control within his and Lori's circle.
- Zulema Pastenes’s testimony about believing in weather control reflects the deep-seated beliefs among Daybell's followers.
- Testimonies suggest that Chad might have been the initiator of many of the spiritual beliefs previously attributed to Lori.
- The discussion also touched on the potential impact of these testimonies on the defense strategies and the overall direction of the trial.
- Faddis discusses the challenges Chad Daybell would face if he decides to testify, given the overwhelming evidence and testimonies against him.
- The conversation also reflects on the broader implications of belief and manipulation in religious or spiritual communities.
