Opening Statements in "Doomsday Mom" Lori Daybell's Trial Starts Tomorrow April 7th!

Lori Daybell, known as the "Doomsday Mom," will face opening statements in her trial in Arizona on Monday, April 7th, for conspiracy to commit murder in the death of her fourth husband Charles Vallow. Previously, she was convicted in Idaho for the murders her two children and conspiracy to commit murder of her current husband's first wife.

In this Arizona case, prosecutors allege that Lori conspired with her brother, Alex Cox, to kill Charles Vallow in 2019. Alex fatally shot Charles at Lori's home in Chandler, claiming self-defense, but investigators now believe it was a planned killing. Alex died later that year and was never charged.

Lori has chosen to represent herself in this trial, arguing that she knows the case better than any attorney could learn it in two years.  If convicted, she could face life in prison, though she is already serving multiple life sentences in Idaho.

This trial is expected to last up to six weeks, and a separate Arizona case against her—related to an attempted murder charge of her niece's ex -husband—will follow.
