Lori Vallow Daybell convicted of murder conspiracy in Arizona

Lori Vallow Daybell has been found guilty by an Arizona jury of conspiracy to commit the murder of her fourth husband, Charles Vallow, in 2019. Prosecutors argued that Daybell, motivated by a $1 million life insurance policy and her relationship with Chad Daybell, conspired with her brother Alex Cox to carry out the killing and invoked religious beliefs to justify the act. Daybell, who represented herself at trial, did not call any witnesses or present evidence, maintaining the shooting was in self-defense. However, prosecutors highlighted inconsistencies in her account, her delay in calling 911, and her communications with the insurance company after Charles's death. This conviction follows her previous life sentence in Idaho for the murders of her two children and Chad Daybell’s first wife, while Chad Daybell was sentenced to death for his involvement. The case has drawn national attention due to its connections to so-called 'doomsday' beliefs and multiple family deaths.
