A woman charged with conspiracy and murder in connection with the deaths of her two children and her new husband's late wife will no longer face the death penalty, a judge ruled Tuesday.
Lori Vallow Daybell is scheduled to stand trial starting April 3.to murder, conspiracy and grand theft charges in connection with the deaths of Vallow Daybell's children — 7-year-old Joshua"JJ" Vallow, and Tylee Ryan, last seen a few days before her 17th birthday. They are also charged in connection with the October 2019 death of Chad Daybell's late wife, Tammy Daybell.
During a Tuesday morning hearing, 7th District Judge Steven Boyce agreed. He noted that Vallow Daybell has not waived her right to a speedy trial, so the proceeding could not be rescheduled to give her defense team ample time to review the evidence. The death penalty still applies to Chad Daybell's case, however. The two were originally set to be tried together, but Boyce granted a motion by Chad Daybell's attorneys to sever the trials earlier this month. Chad Daybell's trial has not yet been rescheduled.
