BOISE, Idaho - A jury in Idaho found Lori Vallow Daybell guilty on Friday of murdering two of her children and of conspiring to murder her husband’s former wife in a case that drew widespread attention for what prosecutors described as her “doomsday” religious beliefs.
In opening statements, prosecutors described her as a negligent mother who believed she was on a “religious mission” that she viewed as being more important than caring for her children.By Wednesday, weeks into the trial, the prosecution had called about 60 witnesses, according to a local news station, Fox 10. Closing arguments were delivered on Thursday.
Vallow Daybell, 49, and her husband, Chad Daybell, 54, had been indicted by a grand jury, and had pleaded not guilty in connection with the deaths of two of Vallow Daybell’s children, Tylee Ryan, 16, and Joshua Vallow, 7, known as JJ. In February 2020, Vallow Daybell was arrested in Hawaii on a warrant issued by the authorities in Idaho, after, they said, she had not cooperated with the effort to find the missing children.
