An Idaho judge says a mother accused of conspiring to kill her children, her estranged husband and a lover’s wife is now mentally competent to stand trial on some of the charges
FILE - Lori Vallow Daybell glances at the camera during her hearing on March 6, 2020, in Rexburg, Idaho. A judge says a mom accused of conspiring to kill her children, her estranged husband and a lover's wife is now mentally competent to stand trial on some of the charges in Idaho. Judge Steven Boyce issued an order on Monday, April 11, 2022, saying that Lori Vallow Daybell"is restored to competency and is fit to proceed" in the Idaho murder case.
The case against her had been hold for months after Judge Steven Boyce ordered her committed to a mental facility so she could undergo treatment in an effort to make her mentally fit enough to assist in her own defense. Lori Daybell is also charged in Arizona with conspiring to kill her former estranged husband, Charles Vallow, with the help of her now-deceased brother, Alex Cox.
Cox asserted the shooting was in self-defense, and he was never charged. At the time, Charles Vallow was seeking a divorce, saying his wife believed she had become a god-like figure responsible for ushering in the biblical end of times. Cox later died of an apparent blood clot in his lung. Investigators later found the bodies of JJ and Tylee buried in Chad Daybell's yard back in Idaho. They have not disclosed causes of death but court documents said Tylee’s body was partially burned.
