    Summer's Coming Attraction, Lori Vallow Daybell As Her Own Attorney
    Dec 18 2024
    Did Lori Vallow just turn her courtroom into a circus tent?

    The "Doomsday Mom" Lori Vallow Daybell, already serving a life sentence for the murders of her two children and Tammy Daybell, now insists on representing herself in upcoming Arizona trials for conspiracy to commit murder and charges related to her former husband, Charles Vallow. How does a woman deemed severely mentally ill in Idaho now get the green light to play lawyer?

    Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott dives into the twisted psychology of Vallow's delusions, from seeing her children as zombies to crafting a reality so detached it makes a carnival look sane. With her love for attention fueling this chaotic decision, the courtroom is set for what feels like a darkly tragic performance art piece.

    Can a judge really allow this circus to proceed? Could this decision backfire on appeal? And what does this say about a legal system that seems to repeat its own madness?

  • Lori Vallow Daybell Ruled Competent to Stand Trial for Ex-Husband’s Death

    Lori Vallow Daybell Ruled Competent to Stand Trial for Ex-Husband’s Death
    Dec 6 2024
    An Arizona judge has ruled that Lori Vallow, the so-called "Doomsday Mom," is mentally competent to stand trial for the murder of her ex-husband. This decision comes after a series of competency evaluations and months of legal back-and-forth.

    Vallow, who was convicted in Idaho last year for the deaths of her two children, Tylee and JJ, as well as for her involvement in the death of Tammy Daybell, her current husband Chad Daybell’s first wife, now faces two conspiracy to commit murder charges in Maricopa County, Arizona. The charges relate to the death of her ex-husband, Charles Vallow, and a shooting attempt on her niece's ex-husband in Gilbert. The shooting attempt was unsuccessful, as the victim was unharmed.

    Following her extradition from Idaho to Arizona in November of last year, Vallow was booked into the Estrella Jail in Phoenix, where she has remained for almost a year. In Arizona, Vallow has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

    The issue of Vallow's mental competency has been a central focus in both Idaho and Arizona cases. In Idaho, Vallow was found incompetent to stand trial at first and was sent to a state hospital for treatment to restore her competency. She was later deemed competent and proceeded to trial. A similar evaluation was requested in Arizona by her previous attorney, but Vallow's new defense team argued that she was fit to stand trial. The prosecution, however, pushed for the continued evaluation, and multiple doctors were consulted.

    Judge Travis Marderosian, who has overseen the case, ruled on Thursday that Vallow is mentally competent to proceed with her trial, citing the results of the evaluations.

    Vallow’s legal team also raised concerns about whether she would be allowed to represent herself during the trial. Judge Marderosian clarified that while Vallow would not be allowed to defend herself fully, she would be permitted to participate in her defense and assist her attorneys.

    The ruling allows the case to move forward, and Vallow is scheduled to appear in court for a status conference on Friday. Investigators believe that dark religious beliefs motivated the crimes, a theory that continues to underpin the case against Vallow and her husband Chad Daybell.

    Vallow is currently serving a life sentence in Idaho for her involvement in the deaths of her children, and her husband Chad Daybell was sentenced to death in the same case.

    This latest development means that the wheels of justice are moving forward in the Arizona case, which will now focus on the charges of conspiracy to commit murder in relation to Charles Vallow’s death and the shooting attempt in Gilbert.
