IDAHO, USA — An Idaho judge clarified who can provide a victim impact statement at Lori Vallow Daybell's sentencing next week.
She faced the judge over Zoom Wednesday morning in a motion hearing to work out some final details before her sentencing next Wednesday.
Vallow Daybell was convicted of six felonies in Idaho in May, including the murder of her two kids, Tylee and JJ, and conspiracy to kill her husband Chad Daybell’s first wife, Tammy. The case has been ongoing for nearly four years.
After the case wraps up in Idaho, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office plans to extradite Vallow Daybell to Arizona, where she’s facing two more conspiracy charges. One is in the death of her former husband, Charles Vallow. The other is in an attempted shooting at Lori’s niece’s ex-husband.
Investigators believe dark, religious beliefs were behind all the deaths and alleged crimes.
As for the sentencing in Idaho, the judge determined Wednesday morning that Tammy Daybell's aunt could provide a victim impact statement to the court as she was deemed a representative for Tammy's late mother.
The sentencing proceeding is expected to take a good portion of Monday.
Chad Daybell is facing a separate murder trial in Idaho next year.
