'Doomsday Mom' Lori Vallow seeks new murder conspiracy trial, claiming juror misconduct

Lori Vallow Daybell, known as the “Doomsday Mom,” is requesting a retrial shortly after being convicted by a jury for conspiring to kill Charles Vallow, her fourth husband.

In recently revealed legal papers, Vallow Daybell alleges that Juror 15 disclosed in a local TV interview that they were aware of her past murder convictions in Idaho, even though this information was not discussed during the trial.

According to court records, Vallow Daybell, who acted as her own attorney, stated that Juror 15’s reaction upon finding out about her previous convictions was, “You know, I feel sorry for her. Driving home yesterday, I was like, ‘God she’s spending the next three lives in prison in a cell …’”.

Vallow Daybell and Chad Daybell were convicted of the 2019 murders of two of Vallow’s children, 7-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow and 16-year-old Tylee Ryan. The couple, who believed some people had dark spirits and shared apocalyptic religious beliefs, were also convicted of murdering Chad Daybell’s first wife, Tammy Daybell. They were sentenced to life in prison. 

“All of these comments add up to prosecutorial misconduct.”

Vallow Daybell is scheduled to go on trial in Phoenix in May for an alleged plot to kill her niece’s ex-husband after a judge denied her motion to dismiss the case.

She previously explained to True Crime Arizona that she had been “working on her case for five years” and knows it “better than an attorney can learn it in two years” after making the decision to represent herself.
