Will Lori's Vallow Daybell's Choice To Rest Her Own Defense Result In A New Conviction, Attorney Eric Faddis Talks What kind of defendant stares down a murder trial and simply says, “Nah, I'm good”? Lori Vallow Daybell, in true Lori fashion, closed her defense with a theatrical nothing. No witnesses, no argument, no Nephi-fueled sermon from the stand—just a mic drop and a courtroom scratching their heads. Was it confidence? Delusion? Or just someone finally too tired to spin the celestial wheel one more time? Former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to unravel Lori's courtroom curveball, dig into what the prosecution didn't quite prove, and question whether her silence was strategy or surrender. Between coded religious lingo, the ghost of Charles Vallow, and the judge playing a game of legal training wheels, this episode peels back the chaos behind the calm.

Vallow Daybell stands accused of conspiring with her brother to murder Charles Vallow. She has entered a not guilty plea and is representing herself throughout the proceedings.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lori Vallow Daybell did not receive the death penalty due to a combination of factors primarily related to the management and timing of evidence disclosures by the prosecution. The defense argued that the prosecution's late submission of thousands of documents and pieces of evidence impeded their ability to adequately prepare for trial. Judge Steven Boyce ruled to remove the death penalty to ensure that Vallow Daybell's constitutional rights were protected, allowing her defense team sufficient time to review the evidence. The judge emphasized that his decision was not to penalize the state but to avoid potential reversible errors that could arise from discovery issues if a death sentence were imposed​.  The implications of this decision might influence Bryan Kohberger's case, as his defense team could leverage similar arguments regarding evidence handling and procedural fairness. Kohberger, charged with the murders of four University of Idaho students, is facing the death penalty. His defense has been actively challenging the prosecution on various procedural grounds, including the handling and disclosure of DNA evidence and other investigative materials​.In this episode, we dive in and take a look at the possibility of Bryan Kohberger avoiding the death penalty due to prosecutorial misconduct.(commercial at 9:31)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Idaho suspect Bryan Kohberger's team could use same tactic as cult mom Lori Vallow to avoid death penalty if convicted | The US Sun (the-sun.com)

Lori Daybell: The Cult Mom Returns to Court- Prosecution Opening Statements In Full Lori Vallow Daybell is back on trial—this time in Arizona, where she's accused of conspiring to murder her estranged husband, Charles Vallow, in 2019. You probably know her as the Idaho mom who claimed her kids were zombies, married a doomsday author, and was convicted of killing her two youngest children, JJ and Tylee. But this part of the saga brings us to Chandler, a suburb of Phoenix, where the story first started turning deadly. Prosecutors say Vallow Daybell teamed up with her brother, Alex Cox, to kill Charles so she could collect on a $1 million life insurance policy and marry her apocalyptic boyfriend, Chad Daybell. At the time, she was still married to Charles—though they were separated—and he had just moved to Arizona with Lori's other brother, Adam Cox, to stage an intervention. Charles had told friends that Lori had become obsessed with near-death experiences and past lives on other planets. He said she threatened to ruin him financially and have him killed. Four months before his death, he asked a court to order a mental health evaluation. It never happened. On the day of the shooting, Charles showed up at Lori's house to pick up their son, JJ. What followed was a strange and fatal series of events that, according to the prosecution, had nothing to do with self-defense and everything to do with premeditation. Alex Cox claimed Charles hit him with a baseball bat and that he shot Charles in self-defense. But prosecutors say the scene tells a different story. There was hardly any blood in the house—except pooling around Charles's body. No signs of a struggle. No blood on the gun. Alex's sunglasses, which he claimed were knocked off in the fight, never even moved. Charles was shot twice, once in the chest and again while he was on the ground—a trajectory that suggests it was a deliberate follow-up shot. And then there's the timeline. Lori left the house right after the shooting with JJ and Tylee—driving Charles's rental car to Burger King and Walgreens before dropping JJ off at school. She spoke with Alex twice after the shooting but waited 47 minutes to call 911. That's nearly an hour Charles lay dead on the floor while, prosecutors say, Alex “staged the scene” to make it look like self-defense. The trial is expected to last six weeks. And here's where it gets even weirder: Lori is representing herself. No lawyer. Just her, facing off against the state while still claiming her innocence. She's already been convicted in Idaho and sentenced to life in prison for killing her kids and conspiring to kill her then-boyfriend's wife, Tammy Daybell. Chad, now her husband, has been sentenced to death. In court, Lori's been objecting to witnesses, challenging the evidence, and arguing that people testifying against her are just going off what they've seen on TV. One of those witnesses, though, will reportedly testify that Lori said Charles was “possessed” by an evil spirit named Ned. Others will talk about Lori and Alex seeing themselves as religious warriors—believing they were doing God's work by eliminating evil spirits in human bodies. The case is getting national attention again, not just for the alleged crime, but for the bizarre belief system behind it—one that Lori and Chad used to justify the unthinkable. And while Alex Cox died five months after the shooting of a blood clot, his story and Lori's version of events are now both under a microscope. #LoriVallow #TrueCrimeTrial #DoomsdayMom #CharlesVallow Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

​In May 2021, a grand jury indicted Chad Daybell on multiple charges, including first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder in connection with the deaths of his first wife, Tammy Daybell, and two children, Tylee Ryan and Joshua "JJ" Vallow, who were the offspring of his subsequent spouse, Lori Vallow Daybell. The indictment also encompassed charges of grand theft by deception and insurance fraud, alleging that Daybell and Lori Vallow Daybell orchestrated these deaths to eliminate obstacles to their relationship and to unlawfully acquire life insurance proceeds and Social Security benefits. ​Prosecutors contended that Daybell and Vallow Daybell espoused apocalyptic religious beliefs, which they purportedly used to rationalize the murders. The indictment detailed that the couple viewed the victims as "possessed" or as "zombies," and believed that their deaths were necessary for the salvation of their souls. Furthermore, it was alleged that Daybell increased Tammy Daybell's life insurance policy shortly before her death and subsequently collected the benefits. These actions were presented as evidence of financial motives underpinning the crimes.source:Indictment.pdf (amazonaws.com

One of those witnesses, though, will reportedly testify that Lori said Charles was “possessed” by an evil spirit named Ned. Others will talk about Lori and Alex seeing themselves as religious warriors—believing they were doing God's work by eliminating evil spirits in human bodies. The case is getting national attention again, not just for the alleged crime, but for the bizarre belief system behind it—one that Lori and Chad used to justify the unthinkable. And while Alex Cox died five months after the shooting of a blood clot, his story and Lori's version of events are now both under a microscope. #LoriVallow #TrueCrimeTrial #DoomsdayMom #CharlesVallow Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Lori Vallow Daybell is back on trial—this time in Arizona, where she's accused of conspiring to murder her estranged husband, Charles Vallow, in 2019. You probably know her as the Idaho mom who claimed her kids were zombies, married a doomsday author, and was convicted of killing her two youngest children, JJ and Tylee. But this part of the saga brings us to Chandler, a suburb of Phoenix, where the story first started turning deadly. Prosecutors say Vallow Daybell teamed up with her brother, Alex Cox, to kill Charles so she could collect on a $1 million life insurance policy and marry her apocalyptic boyfriend, Chad Daybell. At the time, she was still married to Charles—though they were separated—and he had just moved to Arizona with Lori's other brother, Adam Cox, to stage an intervention. Charles had told friends that Lori had become obsessed with near-death experiences and past lives on other planets. He said she threatened to ruin him financially and have him killed. Four months before his death, he asked a court to order a mental health evaluation. It never happened. On the day of the shooting, Charles showed up at Lori's house to pick up their son, JJ. What followed was a strange and fatal series of events that, according to the prosecution, had nothing to do with self-defense and everything to do with premeditation. Alex Cox claimed Charles hit him with a baseball bat and that he shot Charles in self-defense. But prosecutors say the scene tells a different story. There was hardly any blood in the house—except pooling around Charles's body. No signs of a struggle. No blood on the gun. Alex's sunglasses, which he claimed were knocked off in the fight, never even moved. Charles was shot twice, once in the chest and again while he was on the ground—a trajectory that suggests it was a deliberate follow-up shot. And then there's the timeline. Lori left the house right after the shooting with JJ and Tylee—driving Charles's rental car to Burger King and Walgreens before dropping JJ off at school. She spoke with Alex twice after the shooting but waited 47 minutes to call 911. That's nearly an hour Charles lay dead on the floor while, prosecutors say, Alex “staged the scene” to make it look like self-defense. The trial is expected to last six weeks. And here's where it gets even weirder: Lori is representing herself. No lawyer. Just her, facing off against the state while still claiming her innocence. She's already been convicted in Idaho and sentenced to life in prison for killing her kids and conspiring to kill her then-boyfriend's wife, Tammy Daybell. Chad, now her husband, has been sentenced to death.

Lori Vallow Daybell was found guilty on May 12, 2023, of all charges, including the murders of her two children, Joshua "JJ" Vallow and Tylee Ryan, and conspiracy to commit murder in the death of Chad Daybell's former wife, Tammy Daybell. The jury deliberated for less than seven hours before reaching a unanimous verdict, rejecting the defense's argument that Lori was manipulated by Chad Daybell. Prosecutors presented evidence of her deep involvement in the murders, including her belief in doomsday prophecies, text messages plotting the killings, and financial motives such as collecting Social Security benefits after her children's deaths. During sentencing, Lori showed little remorse, leading the judge to impose life in prison without parole, ensuring she would never be released. The verdict closed a case that horrified the nation, exposing a chilling web of religious extremism, deception, and murder.​In November 2023, Lori Vallow Daybell, previously convicted for the murders of her two children in Idaho, was extradited to Arizona to face additional charges. Upon arrival, she was booked into the Maricopa County Jail on two counts of conspiracy to commit murder: one related to the 2019 shooting death of her fourth husband, Charles Vallow, and another concerning the attempted murder of her niece's ex-husband, Brandon Boudreaux. During her initial court appearance, Vallow Daybell inquired about the consolidation of her cases, indicating her active engagement in her defense. As of March 2025, her trial in Arizona is scheduled to commence on March 31, 2025, where she faces these serious conspiracy charges.​In October 2019, Brandon Boudreaux, the ex-husband of Melani Pawlowski (née Boudreaux), who is Lori Vallow Daybell's niece, was targeted in a drive-by shooting outside his home in Gilbert, Arizona. A bullet narrowly missed his head, and the shooter fled the scene. Boudreaux identified the vehicle involved as a Jeep Wrangler registered to Charles Vallow, Lori's deceased fourth husband. Investigations revealed that Alex Cox, Lori's brother, was in the vicinity during the shooting, and cell phone data placed him near Boudreaux's residence at the time of the attack. Authorities believe Cox was the shooter and that Lori conspired with him in the attempted murder, allegedly motivated by financial gain and rooted in their extremist religious beliefsIn February 2022, a Maricopa County grand jury indicted Lori Vallow Daybell on a charge of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder in connection with the attempt on Boudreaux's life. This indictment added to her existing charges, including those related to the deaths of her children, Tylee Ryan and Joshua "JJ" Vallow, and her involvement in the death of Tammy Daybell, Chad Daybell's former wife.Following her conviction in Idaho, Lori was extradited to Arizona in November 2023 to face these additional charges. During her initial court appearance, she pleaded not guilty to the conspiracy charges related to both Charles Vallow's death and the attempted murder of Brandon Boudreaux. As of March 2025, her trial for the Charles Vallow case is scheduled to begin on March 31, 2025, with the trial concerning the Boudreaux case to follow.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Lori Vallow Speaks Out What Her Dateline Interview Reveals About Her Defense What happens when someone convicted of murder still thinks they're going to walk free? Well, if you're Lori Vallow-Daybell, you go on Dateline and tell Keith Morrison that Jesus showed you a future where you're not in prison. Yep, that's exactly what she did in a shocking jailhouse interview, where she doubled down on her innocence, dismissed reality, and claimed divine visions of her exoneration—despite the whole "mountains of evidence and a life sentence" situation. Former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to break down this bizarre interview, the legal circus that is Vallow-Daybell representing herself, and whether her courtroom antics could actually play into the prosecution's hands. Could her behavior be an unofficial insanity defense, even in a state that doesn't recognize it? Will the judge have the patience of a saint or cut her off when the "metaphysical arguments" start flying? And let's be real—can the prosecution just sit back and let her dig her own grave? One thing's for sure: this trial is going to be a spectacle. But is there any legal strategy here, or is it just another chapter in Lori Vallow-Daybell's delusional saga? #LoriVallow #TrueCrime #Dateline #CourtroomDrama #LegalAnalysis #HiddenKillers #CrimePodcast Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Judge Denies Lori Vallow Daybell's Motion to Dismiss as Arizona Trial Moves Forward Lori Vallow Daybell, already convicted and serving a life sentence in Idaho for the murders of her children and conspiring in the death of Tammy Daybell, has been found competent to stand trial in Arizona. She faces charges of conspiracy to commit murder in the death of her former husband, Charles Vallow, and the attempted murder of her ex-nephew-in-law, Brandon Boudreaux. An Arizona judge recently denied her motion to dismiss the case, rejecting her claim that her right to a speedy trial had been violated. The judge ruled that each delay was "indispensable" to the interests of justice, citing the overwhelming volume of evidence, the withdrawal of her original defense team, and competency evaluations as necessary factors that contributed to the trial's postponements. The trial for Charles Vallow's murder is now set to begin on February 24, 2025. The attempted murder trial for Boudreaux is expected to follow, provided that Vallow Daybell is prepared for consecutive proceedings. In an unusual legal move, Vallow Daybell has been granted permission to represent herself in Arizona, a decision that could significantly impact the trial's outcome. With her history of erratic courtroom behavior and refusal to acknowledge wrongdoing, legal experts question how effectively she will be able to defend herself against the serious charges. Vallow Daybell's legal troubles began when authorities in Idaho uncovered a pattern of deaths connected to her and her husband, Chad Daybell. She was convicted in 2023 for the murders of her two children, 7-year-old Joshua "JJ" Vallow and 16-year-old Tylee Ryan, and for conspiring in the death of Tammy Daybell, Chad's first wife. Prosecutors argued that she and Chad Daybell were motivated by extreme religious beliefs, labeling their victims as "zombies" who needed to be eliminated. In Arizona, prosecutors allege a similar pattern. Charles Vallow, who had become increasingly concerned about his wife's growing devotion to Chad Daybell's apocalyptic teachings, was shot and killed in July 2019. Vallow Daybell's late brother, Alex Cox, claimed self-defense at the time, but investigators later found inconsistencies in his account. Just months later, in October 2019, Brandon Boudreaux was nearly killed in a drive-by shooting outside his home. He was previously married to Vallow Daybell's niece, Melani Pawlowski, who had also become deeply involved in the same religious group. Investigators believe Cox was the shooter in that case as well, though he died under mysterious circumstances later that year. As the legal proceedings continue, the families of the victims await justice in a case that has captivated national attention for its disturbing mix of religious extremism, murder, and manipulation. #LoriVallow #TrueCrime #ArizonaTrial #JusticeForJJandTylee #CharlesVallow #DoomsdayCult #MurderTrial Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In an unusual legal move, Vallow Daybell has been granted permission to represent herself in Arizona, a decision that could significantly impact the trial's outcome. With her history of erratic courtroom behavior and refusal to acknowledge wrongdoing, legal experts question how effectively she will be able to defend herself against the serious charges. Vallow Daybell's legal troubles began when authorities in Idaho uncovered a pattern of deaths connected to her and her husband, Chad Daybell. She was convicted in 2023 for the murders of her two children, 7-year-old Joshua "JJ" Vallow and 16-year-old Tylee Ryan, and for conspiring in the death of Tammy Daybell, Chad's first wife. Prosecutors argued that she and Chad Daybell were motivated by extreme religious beliefs, labeling their victims as "zombies" who needed to be eliminated. In Arizona, prosecutors allege a similar pattern. Charles Vallow, who had become increasingly concerned about his wife's growing devotion to Chad Daybell's apocalyptic teachings, was shot and killed in July 2019. Vallow Daybell's late brother, Alex Cox, claimed self-defense at the time, but investigators later found inconsistencies in his account. Just months later, in October 2019, Brandon Boudreaux was nearly killed in a drive-by shooting outside his home. He was previously married to Vallow Daybell's niece, Melani Pawlowski, who had also become deeply involved in the same religious group. Investigators believe Cox was the shooter in that case as well, though he died under mysterious circumstances later that year. As the legal proceedings continue, the families of the victims await justice in a case that has captivated national attention for its disturbing mix of religious extremism, murder, and manipulation. #LoriVallow #TrueCrime #ArizonaTrial #JusticeForJJandTylee #CharlesVallow #DoomsdayCult #MurderTrial Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Lori Vallow Daybell, already convicted and serving a life sentence in Idaho for the murders of her children and conspiring in the death of Tammy Daybell, has been found competent to stand trial in Arizona. She faces charges of conspiracy to commit murder in the death of her former husband, Charles Vallow, and the attempted murder of her ex-nephew-in-law, Brandon Boudreaux. An Arizona judge recently denied her motion to dismiss the case, rejecting her claim that her right to a speedy trial had been violated. The judge ruled that each delay was "indispensable" to the interests of justice, citing the overwhelming volume of evidence, the withdrawal of her original defense team, and competency evaluations as necessary factors that contributed to the trial's postponements.

What happens when someone with zero legal training decides to play defense attorney in a high-stakes murder trial? Lori Vallow Daybell is finding out the hard way as she chooses to represent herself against accusations of conspiring to kill her fourth husband and attempting to murder her niece's ex-husband. Spoiler alert: it's already an absolute disaster. Join Tony Brueski and defense attorney Bob Motta as they delve into the trainwreck that is Vallow Daybell's courtroom performance, from her baffling arguments to her delusional self-confidence. With the judge's patience wearing thin and her legal strategy bordering on absurdity, the real question is: How far will her incompetence take her before the walls come crashing down?

Did Lori Vallow-Daybell think she could outsmart the legal system by playing lawyer? It seems so. Convicted of murdering her two children and her husband's former wife, and now accused of conspiring to kill her fourth husband and attempting to murder her niece's ex-husband, Vallow-Daybell's courtroom antics are as baffling as they are tragic. Representing herself, she's navigating the labyrinth of legal rules with all the grace of a toddler wielding a chainsaw—unaware of the carnage left behind. Her misguided belief that she's the smartest person in the room sets the stage for a trainwreck of objections, irrelevant arguments, and frustration for everyone involved, especially the judge. Watching this legal circus unfold, one can't help but question: is she delusional, or does she truly believe her twisted narrative? Either way, the case promises an unsettling mix of courtroom drama and chilling revelations. Could Vallow-Daybell's decision to go it alone be the nail in her legal coffin, or is there another shocking twist waiting to surface? #TrueCrime #LoriVallowDaybell #DefenseDiaries #HiddenKillers #CourtroomDrama #MurderCase #LegalMess Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Our First Look At Lori Vallow Daybell In Action As Her Own Attorney Lori Vallow Daybell, convicted of murdering her two children in Idaho, appeared in Arizona court facing new charges for conspiracy to commit murder in the death of her fourth husband and the attempted murder of her niece's ex-husband. Acting as her own defense attorney, she questioned the state's decision to extradite her and made several legal motions. The prosecution dismissed her claims, emphasizing that the trial would focus on the events leading up to the indictment. Despite this, Vallow Daybell continued her efforts to prolong the defense, citing legal precedents and requesting access to a large amount of evidence. Judge Beresky set deadlines for the prosecution's responses and confirmed the trial would begin March 31, 2025. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Lori Vallow Daybell, convicted in Idaho of murdering her two children and now facing charges in Arizona, caused a significant delay in her legal proceedings when she refused to be transported to court for a Rule 11 competency hearing. The hearing was scheduled to assess her mental fitness for trial in connection to the death of her ex-husband, Charles Vallow, and an attempted murder charge involving her ex's nephew, Brandon Boudreaux. Vallow Daybell, a former Chandler resident, was found guilty in 2023 for the deaths of her 7-year-old son, Joshua "J.J." Vallow, and her 16-year-old daughter, Tylee Ryan. Their bodies were discovered in her Idaho backyard in 2020. She is serving a life sentence without parole and was later extradited to Arizona after Governor Katie Hobbs approved the transfer. In Arizona, she is accused of conspiracy to commit murder in Charles Vallow's July 2019 shooting and suspected of attempting to kill Boudreaux. The delay arose during Thursday's hearing when Vallow Daybell did not show up for the scheduled court session. Her defense initially sought to have the competency hearing concluded based on a report from Dr. Michael McGady. However, Commissioner Travis Marderosian expressed hesitation, stating he usually requires the defendant's presence for such decisions. He was willing to consider an exception if the prosecution agreed. Maricopa County prosecutor Katie Staab argued that without a second competency report from Dr. Camille Hernandez, they could not move forward. Dr. Hernandez had been unable to complete her assessment due to Vallow Daybell's refusal to participate. “I just want it to be clear for the record that the state is not employing a delay tactic in not stipulating to one report,” Staab said. “We need Dr. Hernandez to be able to offer an opinion for the purposes of the record, especially if the defendant is trying to represent herself.” Vallow Daybell's mental competency has been questioned in the past. In her Idaho case, she underwent almost a year of treatment before being deemed fit for trial. In Arizona, the matter of her mental fitness became relevant after her original defense team requested a Rule 11 evaluation. The situation shifted when she later expressed a desire to end those proceedings and represent herself. Thursday's proceedings were meant to facilitate this transition, but the delay in Dr. Hernandez's report, now expected by December 2, has pushed back the timeline. The court has scheduled a status conference for November 20, with another Rule 11 hearing set for December 5. This latest development underscores the complexity of Vallow Daybell's legal battles. Her ex-husband, Charles Vallow, had previously expressed concerns about her mental health in court documents, claiming she was fixated on a biblical doomsday and had threatened his life. Vallow Daybell's brother, Alexander Cox, shot and killed Charles Vallow in what he claimed was self-defense. Cox later died of natural causes in December 2019. The saga has been further complicated by her association with Chad Guy Daybell, who was sentenced to death for the murders of his first wife, Tammy Daybell, and Vallow Daybell's two children. Vallow Daybell's current defense team, the Office of the Legal Defender, has not commented on the recent events. The case continues to capture public interest as it unfolds, with many watching closely to see how Vallow Daybell's mental competency and legal defense evolve in Arizona.

In Arizona, she is accused of conspiracy to commit murder in Charles Vallow's July 2019 shooting and suspected of attempting to kill Boudreaux. The delay arose during Thursday's hearing when Vallow Daybell did not show up for the scheduled court session. Her defense initially sought to have the competency hearing concluded based on a report from Dr. Michael McGady. However, Commissioner Travis Marderosian expressed hesitation, stating he usually requires the defendant's presence for such decisions. He was willing to consider an exception if the prosecution agreed. Maricopa County prosecutor Katie Staab argued that without a second competency report from Dr. Camille Hernandez, they could not move forward. Dr. Hernandez had been unable to complete her assessment due to Vallow Daybell's refusal to participate. “I just want it to be clear for the record that the state is not employing a delay tactic in not stipulating to one report,” Staab said. “We need Dr. Hernandez to be able to offer an opinion for the purposes of the record, especially if the defendant is trying to represent herself.” Vallow Daybell's mental competency has been questioned in the past. In her Idaho case, she underwent almost a year of treatment before being deemed fit for trial. In Arizona, the matter of her mental fitness became relevant after her original defense team requested a Rule 11 evaluation. The situation shifted when she later expressed a desire to end those proceedings and represent herself. Thursday's proceedings were meant to facilitate this transition, but the delay in Dr. Hernandez's report, now expected by December 2, has pushed back the timeline. The court has scheduled a status conference for November 20, with another Rule 11 hearing set for December 5. This latest development underscores the complexity of Vallow Daybell's legal battles. Her ex-husband, Charles Vallow, had previously expressed concerns about her mental health in court documents, claiming she was fixated on a biblical doomsday and had threatened his life. Vallow Daybell's brother, Alexander Cox, shot and killed Charles Vallow in what he claimed was self-defense. Cox later died of natural causes in December 2019. The saga has been further complicated by her association with Chad Guy Daybell, who was sentenced to death for the murders of his first wife, Tammy Daybell, and Vallow Daybell's two children. Vallow Daybell's current defense team, the Office of the Legal Defender, has not commented on the recent events. The case continues to capture public interest as it unfolds, with many watching closely to see how Vallow Daybell's mental competency and legal defense evolve in Arizona.

Lori Vallow Daybell Refuses Court Transport, Delays Arizona Competency Hearing Lori Vallow Daybell, convicted in Idaho of murdering her two children and now facing charges in Arizona, caused a significant delay in her legal proceedings when she refused to be transported to court for a Rule 11 competency hearing. The hearing was scheduled to assess her mental fitness for trial in connection to the death of her ex-husband, Charles Vallow, and an attempted murder charge involving her ex's nephew, Brandon Boudreaux. Vallow Daybell, a former Chandler resident, was found guilty in 2023 for the deaths of her 7-year-old son, Joshua "J.J." Vallow, and her 16-year-old daughter, Tylee Ryan.

Lori Vallow Daybell, widely known as the "Doomsday cult mom," is seeking to represent herself in her upcoming Arizona trial, where she faces charges related to the death of her fourth husband, Charles Vallow, and the attempted murder of her niece's ex-husband, Brandon Boudreaux. According to court documents, Vallow Daybell filed her request to waive her right to legal counsel on October 16, followed by a motion from her public defender on October 21 to withdraw from the case. However, the judge has postponed making a final decision on Vallow Daybell's request until she completes a competency evaluation under Arizona's Rule 11 process, which will determine her mental fitness to represent herself in court. This isn't Vallow Daybell's first encounter with mental health evaluations. In February 2023, a psychiatric assessment revealed that she suffers from a “delusional disorder” strongly associated with “hyper-religiosity” and has an “unspecified personality disorder with narcissistic features.” This diagnosis followed nearly nine months spent in an Idaho state mental hospital to restore her competency before her Idaho murder trial, where she was ultimately deemed mentally fit to stand trial. Her case's frequent delays and unusual twists have kept it in the national spotlight. During her Idaho trial, where she was convicted of murdering her two youngest children, Tylee Ryan and Joshua "JJ" Vallow, along with Tammy Daybell, the former wife of her fifth husband, Chad Daybell, prosecutors presented evidence of the couple's extreme religious beliefs. Testimonies highlighted their shared ideology of "light" and "dark" souls, in which they allegedly believed certain individuals could be “dark souls” possessed by malevolent entities they referred to as “zombies.” Prosecutors argued that these beliefs fueled the pair's actions, asserting that Vallow Daybell and Chad Daybell killed to remove “dark” souls from their lives, paving the way for their future together. Chad Daybell, a self-published author of apocalyptic fiction, is currently on death row following his conviction for the same murders in June. Their intertwined beliefs and relationship reportedly began as an affair while both were active in a “Doomsday cult” that held apocalyptic and extreme religious views. The prosecution in Idaho argued that Vallow Daybell and Daybell used these beliefs to justify their heinous acts, leading to an intense media frenzy and public intrigue around the case. Further adding to the intrigue, a recently released phone call between Vallow Daybell and her oldest son, Colby Ryan, shows her denying responsibility for her children's deaths. In the call, Vallow Daybell claimed that her daughter, Tylee, accidentally killed JJ and then took her own life. “What if Tylee was holding JJ down and trying to get him not to scream and be loud in an apartment? What if she held him down too long and realized afterward what she had done?” she told Ryan, who responded with shock to his mother's assertions. Vallow Daybell also claimed to have “run out” of the apartment upon finding her children dead, suggesting that someone else disposed of their bodies. “I wasn't aware what happened to them after I left that scene,” she added. “Their spirits were gone from their bodies. They were already in heaven.” The Arizona trial, initially scheduled for February 24, 2025, now hinges on Vallow Daybell's upcoming mental health evaluation, which will determine if she is fit to represent herself in court. Vallow Daybell, already serving a life sentence without parole in Idaho, continues to captivate public interest as her legal proceedings unfold, marked by extreme religious beliefs, chilling statements, and mounting legal battles.
