Jury selection is underway in Chad Daybell's trial on murder charges at the Ada County Courthouse in Boise, Idaho. Prosecutors accuse Daybell of making outlandish claims of people being possessed and becoming zombies to justify a string of heinous crimes.

Daybell has previously pleaded not guilty. He faces similar murder and conspiracy charges as his wife, Lori Vallow Daybell — who was sentenced to multiple life terms in prison last year, for murdering two of her children and conspiring to murder Daybell's previous wife, Tammy Daybell.
