Lori Vallow Daybell seeks new trial citing juror misconduct claims

Lori Vallow Daybell, recently convicted in Arizona for conspiring to murder her former husband Charles Vallow, has filed a motion requesting a new trial. Her motion alleges juror misconduct, specifically that one juror was aware of her prior murder convictions in Idaho, which were not introduced as evidence in the Arizona proceedings. Daybell also cites discovery and prosecutorial misconduct, limitations on witness testimony, and concerns about court impartiality as reasons for her request. She represented herself during the trial and declined to present a defense, arguing that the prosecution had misconstrued a family tragedy as a criminal act. The court has not yet ruled on her motion, and Daybell faces another Arizona trial soon, where she is accused of conspiring to murder her niece's ex-husband.
