Convicted ‘Doomsday Mom’ Lori Vallow Daybell Removed From Arizona Court During Attempted Murder Trial

Lori Vallow Daybell, known as the 'Doomsday Mom,' is currently on trial in Maricopa County, Arizona, for allegedly conspiring with her late brother Alex Cox to murder her niece's ex-husband, Brandon Boudreaux, in a 2019 shooting incident. Representing herself, Daybell was removed from the courtroom by Judge Justin Beresky after a heated exchange during which she sought to introduce evidence of her good character despite her prior murder convictions. The trial follows her previous convictions related to the murders of her children and others, highlighting a pattern of violent and tragic events tied to her. Jury selection was delayed due to Daybell's health complaints but concluded with sixteen jurors seated to hear the case, which is expected to last about two weeks. Prosecutors maintain strong evidence of the conspiracy, while Daybell disputes the allegations, questioning the validity of the attack and the accusations against her. The case continues to draw significant media attention as it unfolds in the same jurisdiction where she was convicted of other related crimes.
