​On April 5, 2024, the fifth day of Chad Daybell's jury selection in Boise, Idaho, the court focused on finalizing the jury pool. Judge Steven Boyce and the attorneys conducted individual voir dire, questioning potential jurors about their knowledge of the case, media exposure, and views on the death penalty, as it remains a possible sentence. By midday, the court had successfully advanced 57 jurors, surpassing the initial goal of 50 to allow for potential contingencies. Judge Boyce announced that peremptory challenges, where both the prosecution and defense can dismiss jurors without stating a cause, would commence on Monday, April 8, 2024, at 10 a.m.


The proceedings concluded earlier than anticipated, with the court emphasizing the importance of selecting an impartial jury capable of evaluating evidence objectively, despite extensive media coverage and the trial's expected 8 to 10-week duration. The completion of this phase marked a significant step toward the trial's commencement, with opening statements scheduled to begin on Wednesday, April 10, 2024.
