May 13, 2023 Kajal Sharma News 0

Lori Vallow Daybell was found guilty on all charges of mu*dering her two children and conspiring to mu*der her husband’s first wife by a jury.

Vallow Daybell, who pled not guilty, was charged with two charges of first-degree mu*der and three counts of conspiracy in the mu*ders of her children, 17-year-old Tylee Ryan and 7-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow, as well as Tammy Daybell, her husband Chad Daybell’s first wife, in 2019.

When she is sentenced, she will face life in jail. A jury of seven men and five women began deliberations on Thursday afternoon and returned a unanimous guilty judgment on Friday afternoon.

Vallow Daybell remained motionless as the judgment was read aloud. She will be moved from Ada to Fremont counties for further proceedings and punishment. Judge Steven Boyce stated that sentencing will take around three months.

On May 13, Mark Anthony Neal sent a tweet on his official Twitter page and released a statement. You must read the entire tweet below:

As the jury was excused, a cross-armed Vallow Daybell stood, briefly conferred with her counsel, and went out of the courthouse, accompanied by a bailiff.

According to a May 2021 indictment, Vallow Daybell was charged with grand theft on suspicion of changing bank accounts to collect Social Security benefits on behalf of her children after their de@ths. Prosecutors stated Thursday that she didn’t report her children missing in order to continue collecting the money, according to East Idaho News.

After the decision was read, JJ’s biological grandfather, Larry Woodcock, expressed gratitude to the jury outside the courtroom, according to CNN affiliate KBOI-TV.

“Thank y’all, thank y’all, thank y’all,” he said with arms spread. “What they went through, what they saw, is mind-boggling.”

Woodcock and his wife, Kay, have offered a $20,000 reward for information leading to the return of the children in January 2020.

“I hope that nobody ever has to go through this,” he remarked on Friday. “I hope nobody ever has to see and hear the details of what happened to JJ, to Tylee and to Tammy.”

Chad Daybell, who also pled not guilty, will face his charges separately. Tammy Daybell passed away peacefully in her sleep in October 2019; Vallow Daybell married Daybell a few weeks later.

In June 2020, officials discovered the bones of Daybell’s stepchildren in his backyard in Fremont County, Idaho. He faces two felony counts of conspiracy to commit destruction, alteration or concealment of evidence, and destruction, alteration or concealment of evidence, as well as two felony counts of destruction, alteration or concealment of evidence.

In closing remarks, Madison County prosecutor Rob Wood encouraged the jury to convict Vallow Daybell on all counts on which she is charged. The month-long trial ended Thursday.

“You must convict her,” Wood said as the courtroom watched photographs of Vallow Daybell’s children and Tammy Daybell, according to East Idaho News.

In a statement issued Friday, Wood and Fremont County prosecutor Lindsey Blake said they were “very pleased” with the verdict.

“We want to assure each of you that we remain committed to pursuing justice for Tylee Ryan, JJ Vallow and Tammy Daybell,” said the statement.

Cathy Russon posted a tweet on her official Twitter feed on May 13. Check out the tweet provided below:

Before resting their case on Tuesday, the defense filed a Rule 29 petition requesting a judgment of acquittal before the matter is presented to the jury, arguing that there was insufficient evidence to support the accusations, according to KBOI-TV. On Thursday, Judge Steven Boyce dismissed the application on all grounds.

“No one here thinks Lori actually k!lled anyone, that’s why she’s being charged with conspiracy,” Vallow Daybell’s attorney, Jim Archibald, said Thursday.

“If you find her guilty, will that bring the kids back? Nope. If you find her not guilty, will that bring the kids back? Nope,” Archibald stated to East Idaho News.

“For everyone asking questions about Charles Vallow and what comes next: Lori Vallow Daybell will be extradited to face the conspiracy to commit 1st degree mu*der charges in Charles death,” tweeted Angenette Levy.

People close to the pair, who married shortly after Vallow Daybell’s children went missing, have described them as members of a doomsday cult with radical religious beliefs, according to East Idaho News.

According to the May 2021 indictment, the pair “did endorse and espouse religious beliefs for the purpose of” excusing or promoting the k!llings of the children and Tammy Daybell.

Last year, their story was included in a Netflix true-crime documentary.
