Lori Vallow Daybell Removed From Arizona Trial

Lori Vallow Daybell, already serving life sentences for the murders of her children and conspiring to kill two spouses, is on trial in Arizona for conspiracy to commit the murder of her niece's ex-husband, Brandon Boudreaux. On the second day of trial, Daybell, representing herself, was removed from the courtroom after a heated dispute with Judge Justin Beresky over the possible introduction of character evidence that could allow jurors to hear about her prior convictions. She later apologized, but the judge warned that further disruptions could jeopardize her right to self-representation. The case centers on an October 2019 shooting attempt on Boudreaux, allegedly orchestrated by Daybell and her deceased brother, Alex Cox. This is Daybell’s final Arizona trial following her prior conviction for conspiring to murder her former husband, Charles Vallow. Opening statements have begun, and Boudreaux is expected to testify.
