Dad beat autistic son Joe Clyde Daniels to death, hid his body in remote area: affidavit

Violent details have been released in the murder of 5-year-old Joe Clyde Daniels.

According to an affidavit, Joe's father, Joseph Ray Daniels, confessed to police that he beat his non-verbal, autistic son to death at their Dickson home on April 4.

Daniels told police that he "struck his son...repeatedly in the body, upper torso, head, and face with closed-fist until his son was deceased," the affidavit says.

Young Joe Clyde died at his residence along Garners Creek Road. Daniels told authorities he put the kindergartner's body in the truck of his car and "disposed" of his son's body in a remote, rural area. As of Monday morning, Joe Clyde's body still hasn't been found after authorities searched through the weekend.

Daniels called 911 to report his son missing.

It's one of a couple of new developments in the case. Joseph Daniels is currently charged with homicide in the death of his son -- mostly based on a confession that Joseph has since recanted.

*(this court allows juror questions during trial & they've had several after just 2 days with a couple directed at the locks on the doors in the home)

Very interesting! I've never followed a trial closely where they've allowed that before (at least not that I've noticed).
It's pretty cool that they can clear up any questions or misconceptions and make sure they understand the evidence being presented.
(I do wonder if it ever gets out of hand, though...)

I saw it in one, I forget which one, I think it was the Jodi Arias trial, and the way they did it was the questions were submitted to the judge and the judge asked the questions so there was no awareness of which juror asked it, not to the other jurors, the attorneys, nor the defendant, etc., no one knew who asked it. Is that the way it is being done in this trial?

I haven’t been watching live but it seems like it. Questions are submitted to the judge, who rules on whether they may be asked or not. I’m not sure who does the actual asking though, the judge or the jury, but I assumed the judge.

I imagine the judge asks. I have also seen where the judge questions the witness or can. I personally believe it should always be that way. Why not? The point should be to get to the truth and to understand what one is hearing for testimony. So long as the question is not inappropriate or irrelevant, etc. I doubt defense attorneys like it, not sure about prosecution.

It would possibly give the attorneys a glimpse of what the jury is thinking based on what the questions may center on and which part of testimony they are questioning further. But so what? It's fair to both sides and lets both know or lets them bone up their cases as they go if they think the jury is confused about something, etc.

I've been watching the trial live so this is for this case only .. a juror submits their written question to the clerk and then it is handed to the Judge. While the jury is out of the courtroom, the Judge then reads the question 'on the record' then if there are no objections from either side then it's addressed following the recess.

Interesting. If for this trial only, I would have to guess the option is always there, at least in that state.

I know of a case where one judge out of several in an area asks questions of witnesses during proceedings and trials. The other judges and staff don't like him doing so from what I understand. I never knew it was an option even until I heard that.

It makes one wonder which states can, either by jurors or judges, or both.

I haven't gotten into watching this one. I put it on once or twice and then something distracted me and did not get back to it. I am interested though in highlights and how it goes of course. Just haven't had the time either.
 
I wish I was convinced that JC Sr. was guilty. After today, I still have doubts.

TN CAC (Childrens Advocate Center) interviewed Alex twice & both times he was accompanied by JC Sr. If Krystal (mom) knew Sr. took the life of her child then why wasn't she the one going to CAC? And I don't buy any excuse about her being scared. Nothing would stop a Mama Bear in protecting their child, imo.

I caught just a bit of it today. The CAS woman and the one after which was short and then the guy who saw someone on the road. Chat had many people saying they don't have enough evidence in this case. Others said otherwise of course. I haven't watched enough to have an opinion.

i am sure that the mom is not innocent. Im not sure as to the percentage of involvement for either of them though.

I'm another one not convinced of his guilt. Or anyone's guilt, for that matter. I'm not sure if I believe baby Joe walked out of the house either...but I haven't seen much damning evidence for murder. I'm just thoroughly unconvinced of anything and on the fence. I'd probably actually make a decent juror in this case, unlike most cases here. And I haven't seen anything yet from the state to convince me of murder. Other than I think it's pretty unlikely baby Joe was able to push a table over to the door, unlock the door, push the table back, leave, and close the door...

I'm not sure if Alex was a good choice for a witness either. A very young, medicated child whose story has changed at least twice? Obviously repressed memories and trauma are real, but they don't really make for a good witness.

To add a bit there ... at the conclusion of testimony yesterday, with the jury out of the courtroom, the defense proposed their theory that Alex was an accomplice to his mom. The Judge stated that you can't prosecute an 8 year old for murder. The defense attorney stated he believed otherwise. smh
