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 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.
