​On April 3, 2024, the third day of Chad Daybell's jury selection in Boise, Idaho, continued with the goal of assembling a pool of 50 potential jurors before proceeding to peremptory challenges. By day's end, 37 individuals had been advanced, marking significant progress toward the required number. The day involved both group and individual questioning, focusing on potential biases, media exposure, and views on the death penalty, as it remains a possible sentence in this case. Several jurors were excused due to hardships, preconceived opinions, or discomfort with the trial's expected graphic evidence. ​

Judge Steven Boyce emphasized the importance of impartiality and the ability to adhere strictly to legal instructions. Both the prosecution and defense teams meticulously questioned jurors to ensure they could evaluate evidence objectively, despite extensive media coverage and the trial's anticipated 8 to 10-week duration. The process underscored the challenges of seating an unbiased jury for a high-profile case involving charges of first-degree murder and conspiracy related to the deaths of Tammy Daybell, Tylee Ryan, and Joshua "JJ" Vallow.
