Chad Daybell: Lawyer for husband of ‘Doomsday Mom’ Lori Vallow to withdraw as counsel
Published By admin with Comments 0
PHOENIX – The lawyer currently representing the husband of the so-called ‘Doomsday Mom’ is set to withdraw from his role as counsel.
According to legal documents obtained by FOX 10 Investigator Justin Lum, John Prior has filed a petition with a court in Idaho’s Fremont County, requesting to withdraw from his role as counsel in the case in the case against Chad Daybell.
“As this court is aware, this case is both extraordinarily complex, and the prosecution is seeking the death penalty, which requires counsel to essentially prepare for two trials,” Prior wrote in the documents.
The same document stated that Daybell, who retained Prior as legal counsel with personal funds, has been declared indigent, in accordance with Idaho state law, and no longer has the ability to pay for the counsel’s continued services.
“Remaining on the case would required undersigned counsel to work around the clock, more than full-time, for more than four months without compensation and without the assistance of any other counsel,” read a portion of the filing.
