Lori Vallow Daybell trial begins for children's deaths
(MENAFN) In Idaho, where a doomsday-focused plot rocked a rural community, the trial of Lori Vallow Daybell is set to begin on Monday. Hundreds of people are expected to gather at the courthouse as attorneys begin selecting 18 potential jurors for the case. Vallow Daybell and her husband, Chad Daybell, have been charged with multiple offenses, including conspiracy, murder, and grand theft, in connection with the deaths of Vallow Daybell's two youngest children, Joshua “JJ” Vallow and Tylee Ryan, both of whom were tragically killed in 2019. The couple has also been charged in connection with the death of Chad Daybell's late wife, Tammy Daybell, who passed away in October 2019.
Although both defendants have pleaded not guilty, only Vallow Daybell's trial will begin on Monday, as the cases have been severed, and Chad Daybell's trial is still months away. Vallow Daybell could face up to life in prison if convicted. The investigation into the case drew worldwide attention and was closely followed in the rural eastern Idaho community where the bodies of the children were found buried in Chad Daybell's yard.
To ensure a fair trial, Seventh District Judge Steven Boyce has moved the trial more than 200 miles (320 kilometers) east to the city of Boise. The trial is expected to be closely watched by the community, as well as by those who have been following the case since the tragic events unfolded. The trial serves as a stark reminder of the importance of ensuring justice is served and that those responsible for heinous crimes are held accountable.
