The moment Lori Vallow Daybell was found guilty
The so-called 'Doomsday Mom,' was found guilty of conspiracy to murder Charles Vallow.
Fox - 10 Phoenix
Lori Vallow Daybell requested a new trial nine days after an Arizona jury found her guilty of conspiring to murder her former husband Charles Vallow in July 2019.
Vallow Daybell filed a motion requesting a new trial on May 1, claiming a juror said in a local television interview that they were aware of Vallow Daybell's prior murder convictions in Idaho despite it not being brought up at trial. The 13-page motion also claimed there were discovery violations, prosecutorial misconduct and a lack of impartiality.
In 2023, Vallow Daybell and Chad Daybell, her fifth husband, to whom she is currently married, were convicted in Idaho of the murders of her two youngest children, Tylee Ryan, 16, and Joshua 'J.J.' Vallow, 7, as well as Chad Daybell's first wife, Tammy Daybell. Following her earlier conviction, Vallow Daybell was sentenced to life without parole.
Vallow Daybell, who represented herself at the recent conspiracy murder trial, declined to testify, call witnesses or present evidence in her defense. In her closing argument on April 21, she said prosecutors had twisted a personal catastrophe into a criminal narrative.
'This event was not a crime; it was a tragedy,' Vallow Daybell told the jury, arguing that it was a family fight gone wrong.
Prosecutors argued that Vallow Daybell had plotted with her brother, Alex Cox, for months to kill Vallow, her fourth husband, and that the motive was financial – to earn life insurance and other death benefits – and romantic.
Vallow Daybell has become known as the "Doomsday mom" as court proceedings have shed light on her end-time religious beliefs.
Her motion requesting a new trial claimed that she was prevented from sharing comments made by various people that included Cox, who told authorities he fatally shot Vallow in self-defense before dying months later of an apparent blood clot.
Vallow Daybell argued she was barred from discussing a 'walkthrough' her brother had conducted with local police before his death and that she wasn't given enough time to rebut the professional opinion of Detective Daniel Coons who spoke as an expert witness during the trial.
The filing further claimed that prosecutors presented 'irrelevant, prejudicial, and improper character evidence' and gave false statements to jurors over various details that included Vallow Daybell's demeanor.
The motion stated that Vallow Daybell limited her defense after a judge prevented her from calling witnesses that included an Idaho-based journalist who covered her previous case.
The Maricopa County Attorney's Office had not filed a response to Vallow Daybell's motion as of May 4 nor did it immediately respond to a request for comment.

Mass. attorney general cites rehab company for $1.1M for unpaid wages to nearly 500 workers
The Massachusetts Attorney General's Office has cited a nursing rehabilitation company with multiple locations across the state for failing to pay hundreds of its employees on time for work completed during a two-week period last year, the office announced Tuesday. The citation against Swansea-based Alpha Healthcare and its owner, William Segal, includes both penalties and wages, and totals nearly $1.1 million, the attorney general's office said in a press release. Alpha Healthcare did not respond to a request for comment from MassLive Tuesday evening. Massachusetts' wage and hour laws require that employers compensate employees for their work within six days of the end of a pay period. State worker protections also demand that this compensation include full and complete payment for all work that was completed during that pay period. The attorney general's office began investigating Alpha Healthcare after receiving complaints from multiple employees reporting that the company had not paid their wages on time, the office said. It determined that Alpha Healthcare failed to pay its workers for work performed between Sept. 15, 2024, and Sept. 28, 2024, in a manner that complied with state wage and hour laws. The attorney general's office asserts that the company's failure to make timely wage payments impacted all of its nearly 500 employees across each of its five private rehabilitation facilities, the office said. Alpha Healthcare operates locations in Fall River, Franklin, Newburyport, Swansea and Stoughton. Restitution for the company's unpaid wages was paid directly to the impacted employees when a receiver was appointed to oversee financial management of Alpha Healthcare, the attorney general's office said. 'When employers violate our laws, including by failing to make timely wage payments, the economic security of workers and their families is unfairly put at risk,' Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell said in the release. 'My office will continue to enforce our laws to protect and empower workers, reminding employers that Massachusetts is serious about protecting workers' rights.'
