On Tuesday, the presiding judge ruled that the verdict would be live-streamed, and closing arguments are scheduled for Thursday.
The trial of Lori Vallow Daybell, who has been dubbed the “doomsday mom,” has gained national attention due to its unusual religious aspects
Vallow Daybell has been charged with murder in the deaths of her two children, Joshua “JJ” Vallow and Tylee Ryan, who were found buried on her husband’s property in Idaho. She has also been charged with conspiracy to commit murder in their deaths and the death of her husband’s first wife. In addition, Vallow Daybell faces a grand theft charge for allegedly collecting Social Security payments for her children.
The trial has revealed the Daybells’ fringe religious beliefs, which include the idea that some people are “dark” or “zombies” and that they had been married in past lives.
Both Vallow Daybell and her husband Chad Daybell were members of the Church of Latter-day Saints, but their beliefs fell outside of the mainstream
The defense rested its case on Tuesday, with Vallow Daybell electing not to take the stand and the defense calling no witnesses. Chad Daybell is being tried separately and faces the death penalty.
Vallow Daybell also faces charges in Arizona in connection with the death of her fourth husband and JJ’s father. Both Vallow Daybell and Daybell have pleaded not guilty to all charges.
