The Idaho Supreme Court is set to hear Lori Vallow Daybell’s appeal of her Idaho convictions. She was convicted of killing her children, 7-year-old JJ Vallow and 16-year-old Tylee Ryan, and of conspiring to murder Tammy Daybell, whose husband Vallow Daybell later married. The Associated Press reports that her lawyer argues she was denied a speedy trial and the right to keep her chosen attorney. Straight Arrow News reports the same argument and says the appeal also challenges jurors hearing evidence about two Arizona shootings. The children’s bodies were found buried on property belonging to Chad Daybell. Vallow Daybell is serving multiple life sentences.
