Various press organizations have contacted East Idaho News in support of fighting the subpoena.
John Prior, the lawyer who subpoenaed East Idaho News reporter Nate Eatonfor in early May for the Daybell trial, has withdrawn his request, East Idaho News reported.
Eaton would have been asked to testify in a Fremont County courtroom about the number of page views, audience size, and online reach his employer, EastIdahoNews.com, which has been covering the Daybell case extensively.
At the time the subpoenaed was issued, Lori and Chad Daybell were both charged with conspiracy to conceal or destroy evidence in the aftermath of the discovery of Lori s children, Joshua JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan, who were found dead in Chad s backyard. They pleaded not guilty to all crimes.
