Lori Vallow Daybell: ‘Doomsday Mom’ prepares for 2nd Arizona trial
Published By admin with Comments 0
PHOENIX – Lori Vallow, also known as the so-called “Doomsday Mom,” is now convicted of conspiring in her fourth husband’s murder, but a day after a jury found her guilty, she’s preparing for her second trial in Arizona.
On April 22, a jury in Arizona found Vallow Daybell guilty of conspiring to commit murder. The guilty verdict was handed down just one day after closing arguments were made.
Vallow Daybell was accused of planning the death of Charles Vallow in 2019. It was allegedly motivated by Vallow Daybell’s religious beliefs, and a $1 million life insurance policy that Charles owned.
Charles was shot by Vallow Daybell’s late brother, Alex Cox. Cox had said he shot Charles after a fight involving a baseball bat.
During the trial, one of Vallow Daybell’s brothers took the stand. Adam Cox, who testified on behalf of the prosecution, said during his testimony that he had no doubt that Vallow and Alex were behind Charles’ death.
Vallow Daybell, who represented herself during the trial, did not take the stand, call witnesses, or entered evidence. During closing arguments, she spoke to the jury for about 20 minutes and did not address her choice not to call 911, or her suspicious religious texts with her co-conspirators. She told the jury she and her family had the right to self-defense.
Prosecutors objected multiple times during Vallow Daybell’s closing arguments, claiming she is essentially testifying with her closing arguments, and bringing up her daughter Tylee Ryan and brother Alex Cox, who are both dead.
Vallow Daybell’s second Arizona trial is also her third trial overall.
For her third trial, Vallow Daybell is accused of plotting the attempted murder of Brandon Boudreaux, who was once her nephew-in-law, in 2019.
The alleged incident happened on October 2, 2019, when Boudreaux was shot at while driving home. The bullets missed Boudreaux by inches.
In the weeks following the incident, Vallow Daybell and her now-husband, Chad Daybel, plotted the murder of Chad’s then wife, Tammy Daybell.
