Lori Vallow Daybell Just Got Convicted Again — This Time for Plotting to Kill Her Niece's Ex-Husband
Lori Vallow Daybell has been convicted of conspiring to kill her niece's ex-husband in October 2019
Daybell faces a possibility of two life sentences stemming from the conviction
Daybell is already serving three life sentences without the possibility of parole in connection with the deaths of her two young children and her fifth husband's ex-wifeLori Vallow Daybell, the 'Doomsday' mother who was convicted of killing her two young children, an ex-husband, and the ex-wife of her most recent fifth husband, has been convicted for conspiring to kill another man in Arizona.Daybell, 51, was found guilty on Thursday of conspiring to kill Brandon Boudreaux, the ex-husband of her niece, in October 2019, according to The Associated Press, as well as local outlets ABC 15 and NBC 12.
Daybell is already serving three life sentences for murdering and conspiring to murder her son 7-year-old Joshua "J.J." Vallow and her daughter 16-year-old Tylee Ryan and conspiring to murder Tammy Daybell, the ex-wife of her fifth husband Chad Daybell. Those three murders also took place in 2019, PEOPLE previously reported.
On Thursday, Daybell was convicted of conspiring with her late brother Alex Cox to kill Boudreaux outside of his home in Gilbert, Ariz., the AP reported. Cox has since died, while Daybell will be sentenced on July 25 and faces another two possible life sentences as a result of this week's convictions.
According to NBC 12, investigators say Cox shot at Bordeaux with a rifle while he was outside his home. The gunshot missed Bordeaux and shattered a window on the driver's side of his car while he was inside. Bordeaux said he recognized the jeep — where the shot came from — as the car that Daybell's daughter Tylee used to drive before her own disappearance.
Daybell represented herself during the trial, once being removed from court after a testy exchange with the judge.
"I did not enjoy sitting and giving someone who tried to kill me the chance to question me," Boudreaux told reporters after Daybell's conviction, according to NBC 12. "But I owed it to Charles, to Tylee, to JJ and to Tammy, to speak because I could."

Colby Ryan, Daybell's only living child, stood by Boudreaux as he addressed reporters.
"We stand united," Boudreaux said, according to the outlet. "We're still family, we always will be. Regardless of the things that happened."
NBC 12 reports that after her July sentencing, Daybell will be extradited back to Idaho where she'll continue to serve the life sentences related to her children and husband's ex-wife's murders.

Appeals court won't reconsider ruling that Trump must pay E. Jean Carroll $5M in sex abuse case
NEW YORK (AP) — A federal appeals court won't reconsider its ruling upholding a $5 million civil judgment against President Donald Trump in a civil lawsuit alleging he sexually abused a writer in a Manhattan department store in the mid-1990s. In an 8-2 vote Friday, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Trump's petition for the full appellate court to rehear arguments in his challenge to the jury's finding that he sexually abused advice columnist E. Jean Carroll and defamed her with comments he made in October 2022. Carroll testified at a 2023 trial that Trump turned a friendly encounter in spring 1996 into a violent attack after they playfully entered the store's dressing room. A three-judge panel of the appeals court upheld the verdict in December, rejecting Trump's claims that trial Judge Lewis A. Kaplan's decisions spoiled the trial, including allowing two other Trump sexual abuse accusers to testify. The women said Trump committed similar acts against them in the 1970s and in 2005. Trump denied all three women's allegations. In an opinion Friday, four judges voting to reject rehearing wrote: 'Simply re-litigating a case is not an appropriate use' of the process. 'In those rare instances in which a case warrants our collective consideration, it is almost always because it involves a question of exceptional importance,' or a conflict between precedent and the appellate panel's opinion, Judges Myrna Pérez, Eunice C. Lee, Beth Robinson and Sarah A.L. Merriam wrote. All four were appointed by President Joe Biden, Trump's one-time Democratic rival. The two dissenting judges, Trump appointees, Steven J. Menashi and Michael H. Park, wrote that the trial 'consisted of a series of indefensible evidentiary rulings.' 'The result was a jury verdict based on impermissible character evidence and few reliable facts,' they wrote. 'No one can have any confidence that the jury would have returned the same verdict if the normal rules of evidence had been applied.' Carroll's lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, said in a statement: 'E. Jean Carroll is very pleased with today's decision.' 'Although President Trump continues to try every possible maneuver to challenge the findings of two separate juries, those efforts have failed. He remains liable for sexual assault and defamation,' said Kaplan, who is not related to the judge. Trump skipped the trial after repeatedly denying the attack ever happened. He briefly testified at a follow-up defamation trial last year that resulted in an $83.3 million award. The second trial resulted from comments then-President Trump made in 2019 after Carroll first made the accusations publicly in a memoir. Kaplan presided over both trials and instructed the second jury to accept the first jury's finding that Trump had sexually abused Carroll. Arguments in that appeal are set for June 24. The Associated Press does not identify people who say they have been sexually assaulted unless they come forward publicly, as Carroll has done. ___

4 detainees unaccounted for after unrest at immigration facility
(NewsNation) — A search is underway Friday for four migrants who went missing from a New Jersey U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center, according to the Department of Homeland Security. The detainees escaped from Delaney Hall in Newark on Thursday amid reports of unrest. Officials are still trying to determine how they managed to escape. The DHS is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the four individuals who escaped. Hondurans Franklin Norberto Bautista-Reyes, Joel Enrique Sandoval-Lopez, Joan Sebastian Castaneda-Lozada, and Andres Pineda-Mogollon, from Colombia, are the men on the run, according to the DHS. They are all illegal entrants into the United States, per DHS. Additional 'law enforcement partners' have been brought in to help locate them, according to a statement attributed to a senior DHS official that was emailed to The Associated Press. DHS did not name the agencies involved. LA grandma self-deports to Mexico, leaving family behind Newark Mayor Ras Baraka referenced reports of a possible uprising and escape Thursday night. 'We are concerned about reports of what has transpired at Delaney Hall this evening, ranging from withholding food and poor treatment, to uprising and escaped detainees,' Baraka said in a statement obtained by NewsNation local affiliate WPIX. Protesters outside the facility locked arms and pushed against barricades, while vehicles moved through the gates, according to the AP. The Delaney Hall facility, which houses up to 1,000 detainees, opened earlier this year under the Trump administration's immigration enforcement push. DHS Secretary Noem attends ICE raid at LA County home Photos and videos from outside the facility showed protesters clashing with security. Mustafa Cetin, who represents a detainee, told tensions escalated after delayed meals sparked unrest inside. 'It's about the food, and some of the detainees were getting aggressive, and it turned violent,' attorney Cetin said. 'Based on what he told me, it was an outer wall, not very strong, and they were able to push it down.' One woman told WNBC-TV she rushed to the center after her detained husband called about a lockdown and a protest over inhumane conditions. She said she's worried for his safety. Attorneys representing detainees say they've been unable to reach their clients or enter the facility since the incident, according to a spokesperson for the American Friends Service Committee, a nonprofit that advocates for immigrants.
