2/1/23: Defense's Objection to IRE 404(b). Objects to the introduction of all requested evidence by the State pursuant to IRE 404(b). The request by the State is not timely. The court must first conduct an evidentiary hearing as it relates to such evidence. Next motions hearing on 2/9/23.
2/9/23 Update: The original deadline for the defense & prosecution to submit evidence & witness lists to each other was 2/27/23 but John Prior, Daybell’s attorney, said he needs more time. Prior noted he & the prosecution are waiting on a piece of DNA evidence & once it’s back, his expert will need 60 days to analyze it. That won’t be enough time ahead of the trial. He also mentioned 1,100 pages of documents that were given to him Thursday, which he has not had time to go through & GPS evidence he recently received. Prosecutors suggested pushing back the deadline two weeks & Judge Boyce set the new date for all evidence & witnesses to be submitted as 3/13/23. A motion to sever the cases from each other, filed by Prior, was postponed until the next court hearing scheduled for 2/23/23.
2/10/23: Order to Seal. Motion to Dismiss the indictment-2nd renewed. 2/13/23: Response to request for Discovery-11th Supplement. Order: Modifying Court's scheduling Order filed 12/16/22. Motions hearing on 2/16/23 @ 9:30am.

2/2/23: State's response to Defendant's Motion for pre-selection instructions. State's response to Defendant's request for individual voir dire. Defendant's Objection to State's Motion re mental health evidence. Next motions hearing on 2/9/23.
2/9/23 Update: District Judge Steven Boyce heard several motions from defense attorneys & prosecutor attorney Tawnya Rawlings regarding evidence, the jury, scheduling deadlines & whether Vallow’s case should be dismissed due to lack of a speedy trial. Judge Boyce said he will issue a written decision on the motion (to dismiss) soon. The defense wants potential jurors to be questioned in smaller groups with questions about their religion to be included. Also about mental illness & drug use. They argue there could be bias against Vallow among the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints due to the nature of the case. Judge Steven W. Boyce agreed with the smaller groups but adamantly objected to asking jurors about their religion. He said questions posed would be decided at a later date in Ada County. Judge Boyce granted a motion filed by Vallow’s attorneys to have instructions given to potential jurors before jury selection begins. Prosecutors agreed with the idea & Judge Boyce said he’s in process of coming up with those instructions. He will consider suggestions from both the defense & prosecution on what should be included. Next pretrial hearing on 2/23/23 @ 9am.
2/13/23: Response to request for Discovery-11th Supplemental. Order on Defendants Motion for individual voir dire. Order to modifying Court's scheduling Order filed 12/16/22. Order on defendant's Motion for pre-selection jury instruction. Decision or opinion: memorandum & Order. Motions hearing on 2/16/23 @ 9:30am.
2/14/23 Update: Judge Boyce denies Vallow’s motion to dismiss murder case. He cites 11/28/22 as real deadline for when to meet speedy trial obligations, adding time for last hold on case. Boyce says “good cause” for delay is justified with moving trial to Ada Co., voluminous discovery, etc.
