Lori Vallow Daybell Gets Parole-Eligible Life Sentences

Lori Vallow Daybell, known as the 'Doomsday Mom,' was sentenced in Arizona to two consecutive life terms with the possibility of parole after 25 years for conspiring to murder her fourth husband, Charles Vallow, and her niece’s ex-husband, Brandon Boudreaux. These sentences will run consecutively to her existing life sentences from Idaho, where she was convicted of killing her two children and her fifth husband's first wife. Prosecutors argued that Vallow Daybell, influenced by apocalyptic religious beliefs, was motivated by financial gain and her desire to be with Chad Daybell, whom she later married and who is now on death row. Victims’ families delivered emotional statements at sentencing, describing lasting pain and trauma. Vallow Daybell represented herself at both Arizona trials, maintaining her innocence and claiming self-defense or lack of involvement. Her conviction concludes a six-year saga of multiple murders and religious extremism spanning two states.
