“Doomsday mom” Lori Vallow Daybell was convicted of conspiring to kill her fourth husband, Charles Vallow. The jury found her guilty of first-degree murder conspiracy in the 2019 shooting, where she claimed her brother shot Charles in self-defense. Vallow Daybell is serving life in prison for killing her children and husband’s first wife in Idaho. Prosecutors dismissed her self-defense claim, stating she wanted Charles dead to marry another man and gain financial benefits. Vallow Daybell justified the killing with religious beliefs. She married Chad Daybell, a doomsday author, shortly after Charles’ death. During the trial, witnesses testified that Vallow Daybell’s behavior was suspicious before the shooting. Vallow Daybell claimed the event was not planned and accused prosecutors of retrofitting a crime. She did not present any evidence or witnesses in her defense. The state rested its case, and the outcome is developing.
