His earning history. Right.It is based on Charles Vallow's income at time of death.
That's only if it is through your employer. Usually 3 and a half times your annual. I think CV paid for his own policy and did not have it through work.His earning history. Right.
Looks like the defense did the same thing today with ZP's cross-examination: focusing on how these were sincere beliefs, how even "sophisticated" people could get caught up in them, etc.Taking a look at the defense's cross-examination of Melanie yesterday, I think they may be trying to draw parallels between her and Lori -- both knew about these teachings, both thought they were strange, both participated in the "casting"... and the defense ended with the account of Melanie asking Alex about the kids and Alex refusing to tell her. Are they going to try to convince us that Lori was in the same place -- that she was just as ignorant about what was really going on as Melanie was?
I believe information about pending charges would be considered prejudicial. A jury member might assume that since police have found evidence against her in that case, she must be guilty in this case.Day 10: Vallow Daybell told friend she ‘could always put some pills’ in husband’s water
“The fact that you continue to go to the temple after all you’ve done shocks even me,” Lori Vallow Daybell’s fourth husband wrote in an email.www.yahoo.com
I wonder about this:
Det. Nathan Duncan, from the Chandler Police Department in Arizona, took the witness stand Thursday afternoon and finished his testimony Friday morning. Duncan spoke about the shooting of Vallow Daybell’s fourth husband, Charles Vallow, which occurred in July 2019. Duncan told the 18-person jury — 12 jurors and six alternates — that Charles Vallow was killed,
but he didn’t mention that Vallow Daybell faces a criminal charge in Arizona for conspiring to kill him.
Interesting, it appears that the judge doesn't want Lori's AZ murder charge in front of the jury. This means the prosecution can't show a life insurance motive for this crime.
It will have to be brought up in her AZ trial.
I assume the reason to not bring it up is because Lori has not (yet) been found guilty of conspiring to kill her husband Charles Vallow.
I remember testimony did come out about his life insurance.
If anyone can give me a clearer "picture" of all this - thanks!
This could be a good thing, because then the defense can't claim that it's prejudicial and use it as grounds to appeal a conviction verdict.Day 10: Vallow Daybell told friend she ‘could always put some pills’ in husband’s water

IMO Lori's defense will be that Lori herself is a victim and that Alex Cox had terrorized her entire life, and it was he who killed Charles Vallow, Tammy Daybell, Tylee Ryan and JJ Vallow, as part of a continuing campaign to terrorize Lori and to ensure she continued to submit to his sexual abuse of her. There is a book by John Glatt called Doomsday Mother which says Lori's childhood friend said that Alex sexually molested Lori when she was 12 and he 17 and that Chad and Lori were openly sexual towards each other in their family life. Lori will say Alex's rape of her at the young age of 12 irreparably damaged her and made her pliant and very vulnerable to continuing sexual abuse/rapes by Alex and also the control by domineering men such as her former husbands and Chad.
All the above is just my opinion. I don't believe Lori's childhood trauma is an excuse for her murdering her husband and children, this is just my opinion on what her defense might possibly be.
Chad attracted his followers by grooming and assigning special roles.
I agree. I am also wondering whether they are planning on an appeal already.I don't see the point in any of Thomas's cross-examinations, it all seems ineffectual to me. Perhaps mitigation is the purpose, reinforcing that others believed it so Lori was just as susceptible as the others to being preyed upon by Chad. I'm not buying it.
most definitely, IMOI agree. I am also wondering whether they are planning on an appeal already.
They are demonstrating a life insurance motive, because she expected to receive the money. It's not just Lori's acts, it's acts of all the co-conspirators, of which Alex was one. Whether it's charged yet, or not, or adjudicated yet or not, the detective testified that Charles was shot while he was lying on the ground and in his opinion Alex had not given him CPR as he said he was doing on the 911 call.Day 10: Vallow Daybell told friend she ‘could always put some pills’ in husband’s water

I am not buying what she's selling.In the past I thought Zulema was not fully cooperating and had evil intentions. Based on her testimony so far, if true, she really did not know anything. I give her credit for staying silent and what appears to credible testimony. I thought she may have been in on ACs death. I was wrong and am wondering if AC took his own life at the persuasion of C&L.
yepA woman who can’t remember her wedding day? She didn’t love Alex. She and MG have both committed perjury now with their “memories”.
I agree.Well- this REALLY favored Chad far more than I anticipated.
Because Chad is the leader in terms of the 3 murders charged plus Charles. I have always felt this, and it's just an opinion*, but the trial so far has doubled my confidence in my opinion.
I know it is more popular to think of Lori as the leader, and that is supported by her history with Tylee (likely factious by proxy, put her last in divorce negotiations) and Joe (quite possible murder, certain parental alienation on steroids).
But just because Lori has been REALLY bad to others does not mean she was not prime pickings for an abuser like Chad.
I can't believe the level of spiritual abuse. Or, Jesus' love bombing, lol.
*who is the ring leader is not of much consequence because I don't think anyone could be acquitted anyway.
Chad is so lucky he is not being tried, but he gets to hear what is coming out against him. Grrr.
MOO
Thanks @Emi and @Niner and everyone posting today.
