Phoenix – A woman whose religious beliefs of the day of adhesion led him to kill her two youngest children and to engage in a plot to kill a romantic rival in Idaho was condemned Tuesday in Arizona for having plotted to assassinate his ex -Mari.
The jurors admitted Lori Vallow Daybell guilty after having deliberated for about three hours, and she is faced with another possible imprisonment of the three that she already serves in Idaho. She will only be sentenced to Arizona after being tried in another alleged murder plot.
The prosecutors said that Vallow Daybell had the help of his brother, Alex Cox, during the death by July 2019 ball of Charles Vallow at his home in the suburbs of Phoenix in Chandler. They say that she was motivated by the opportunity to take advantage of the Vallow life insurance policy and a marriage to the boyfriend of the time of Chad Daybell who wrote several religious novels on the prophecies and the end of the world.
Chad Daybell also purges perpetuity for the death of the children of Vallow Daybell, Joshua “JJ” Vallow, 7, and Tylee Ryan, 16, and his wife, Tammy. Idaho authorities said the case included bizarre claims by Chad Daybell and Vallow Daybell that children were zombies and that Vallow Daybell was a goddess responsible for moving an apocalypse.
Vallow Daybell, who is not a lawyer but who chose to defend himself at the Arizona trial, sat above still while the verdict was read but looked at the jurors from time to time because they were asked to confirm that they found him guilty for the only accusation.
One of the jurors, Victoria Lewis, said outside the courthouse that Vallow Daybell herself had no favor by choosing to represent himself.
“Several days, she smiled and laughed and seemed to take nothing very seriously,” Lewis told journalists.
Vallow Daybell told the jury that Vallow was pursuing her with a bat inside her house, and her brother fired Vallow in self -defense when she left the house. She told the jurors that death was a tragedy, not a crime.
Cox died five months later from what the forensic schemes said they were a blood clot in his lungs.
Vallow’s brothers and sisters, Kay Woodcock and Gerry Vallow, told journalists before the court that they were grateful to the jury’s decision.
“We have clogged, and you are not the most intelligent person in the play,” said Woodcock when asked if she had a message for Vallow Daybell. “Everyone will forget you.”
The Associated Press left emails by email requesting comments on Tuesday at the Office of the County Prosecutor of Maricopa, who continued the case, and the lawyers who were legal advisers in Vallow Daybell during the trial.
Last week, Adam Cox, another brother of Vallow Daybell, testified on behalf of the accusation, telling the jurors that he was doubt that his brothers and sisters were behind Vallow’s death.
Adam Cox said that murder had occurred just before he and Vallow provided an intervention to bring his sister back in the dominant current of their common faith in the church of Jesus Christ of the Holy Dates. He testified that before the death of Vallow, his sister had told people that her husband no longer lived and that a zombie lived inside his body.
Four months before his death, Vallow asked for the divorce of Vallow Daybell, saying that she had become in love with imminent death experiences and claimed to have lived many lives on other planets. He alleged that she had threatened to ruin him financially and kill him. He asked for a voluntary assessment of his wife’s mental health.
Vallow Daybell should again be tried in early June, accused in a plot to kill Brandon Boudreaux, the ex-Mari de la niece de Vallow Daybell. Boudreaux survived.
