‘Doomsday cult mom’ asks court to ban cameras from upcoming murder trial
Published By admin with Comments 0
Convicted killer and so-called “doomsday cult mom” Lori Vallow is asking the court to restrict media access in her upcoming Arizona murder trial, citing claims of defamation and misleading coverage.
Vallow, who is representing herself, filed an objection with the Maricopa County Superior Court last month asking the judge to block Court TV from streaming the proceedings as she faces a second set of murder charges.
“Court TV should be ashamed of its very nature and its request, since its sole objective is NOT to bring people real news or facts but instead its objective is to entertain the public with the very true-life tragedies that happen in real people’s lives,” Vallow, who has already been convicted of killing her two children and her husband’s ex-wife, wrote in court documents obtained by Fox News Digital.
Vallow went on to claim that Court TV is using her and her husband Chad Daybell’s images in commercials for the channel, alleging the depictions have “falsely characterized, libeled, and slandered” the couple. Daybell has been sentenced to death in Idaho for his role in the slayings of J.J. Vallow, Tylee Ryan and Tammy Daybell.
“This gives [Vallow] a tremendous amount of control over the case, and she has little to lose, since she’s already been sentenced to life in prison in Idaho,” Andrew Stoltmann, a Chicago-based attorney, told Fox News Digital. “She may be intending to turn this case into a three-ring circus, and the best way to do that is by representing herself.”
