Lori Vallow Faces Second Murder Trial for Fourth Husband's Death

Lori Vallow Daybell, known as the 'Doomsday Mom,' is currently on trial in Arizona for allegedly conspiring to murder her fourth husband, Charles Vallow, in 2019. During opening statements, she portrayed herself as a victim, claiming Charles was the aggressor, and argued that the events leading to his death were a 'family tragedy, not a crime.' Vallow Daybell is representing herself in court, asserting she knows her case better than any attorney could, and has expressed a desire for a speedy trial to address what she views as injustices faced by incarcerated women. Prosecutors allege that her motivation for the murder was to eliminate obstacles in her life, allowing her to marry Chad Daybell, with whom she has been implicated in multiple deaths. Charles Vallow had filed for divorce four months prior to his death, citing threats from Vallow Daybell. Vallow Daybell is already serving a life sentence for the murders of her children and her husband's first wife, Tammy Daybell.
