PHOENIX (AP) — Lori Vallow Daybell plans to rest her case at the Arizona trial where she is charged with conspiring to murder her estranged husband.
The case’s prosecutor on Wednesday finished presenting the state’s case against Vallow Daybell, who will have to say for sure on Monday whether she intends to end her case without putting on any evidence or witnesses in her defense.
If she follows through on her plans, closing arguments will be held Monday.
Vallow Daybell, who isn’t an attorney but has still chosen to defend herself, has had difficulties lining up witnesses. Though she has gotten subpoenas served on a few witnesses, two other people were stricken from her witness list by a judge — and at least five others haven’t been located or served with subpoenas to testify.
Prosecutors say she conspired with her brother, Alex Cox, to kill Charles Vallow so she could collect money from his life insurance policy and marry her then-boyfriend Chad Daybell, an Idaho author who wrote several religious novels about prophecies and the end of the world.
