Lori Vallow Daybell Begins Trial for Ex-Husband's Murder

Lori Vallow Daybell, known as the 'doomsday mom,' is currently on trial in Arizona for allegedly conspiring to murder her fourth husband, Charles Vallow. She is representing herself in court, having previously been convicted and sentenced to life in prison without parole for the murders of her two children. The trial, which began with opening statements, centers around claims that Vallow orchestrated her estranged husband's death, facilitated by her brother, Alex Cox, who claimed self-defense during the incident. Prosecutors argue that Vallow was motivated by her affair with doomsday author Chad Daybell, with whom she shared extremist beliefs. Vallow has expressed her desire for a speedy trial, asserting that she feels capable of defending herself despite lacking legal training. The case has drawn significant media attention due to its sensational elements and Vallow's controversial beliefs.
