Idaho prosecutors oppose motion by ‘Cult Mom’ Lori Vallow Daybell to hold ‘strategy session’ with husband

Prosecutors who are seeking the death penalty for so-called “Cult Mom” Lori Vallow Daybell filed motions opposing “strategy sessions” between her and her husband, Charles Daybell, who will both go on trial in April for allegedly murdering Lori’s two children and Charles’ former wife.
Vallow Daybell’s attorney’s filed a motion last week asking that the judge allow meetings between the defendants, saying that the conversations wouldn’t be recorded and won’t be admitted as evidence.
“With settlement proposals, mediation, motions and trial fast approaching, Lori and Chad would like to be able to talk together in person and on the phone about their options,” her attorneys wrote.
Prosecutors wrote in a motion opposing the strategy sessions that they have “serious reservations” about the two defendants communicating directly with each other.
“While the state recognizes that the defendants may communicate through their counsel, and also may strategize together through their attorneys, which the State would not be a party to or have input on; there is no inherent right or privilege for the defendants to have direct communication,” prosecutors wrote.

Keeping them apart will force Lori Vallow to think independently and perhaps that may improve her defense.
