A line began forming at 4 am to get into the courtroom. We could get a verdict today in the Lori Vallow Daybell trial.
Waiting in line to get into the courtroom. Around 50 people in line. Courtroom holds around 130 people total. Victims will have reserved seating, everything else open to public on first come, first served basis.
Larry Woodcock just walked by. “Today is the day,” he said.
Larry’s playing “The Party’s Over” in his iPad as we want to go into the courtroom. He’s singing some of the lyrics.
His T-shirt says “World’s Greatest Papa.”
The public seating area in the courtroom is nearly full. Lori's attorneys are here. Prosecutors Rob Wood and Rachel Smith are too.
Kay Woodcock is wearing a blue and purple dress with a blue and purple necklace - JJ and Tylee's colors.
The jury received the case around 2:15 p.m. yesterday. They took a 15-20 minute dinner break before going home by 7 p.m. They began deliberating this morning at 9 a.m.
Judge Boyce has approved a request to have one still photographer in the courtroom when the verdict is read. AP will coordinate the pool camera so we will have photos.
Here are some photos my colleague @HINESight_2020
took outside the courthouse to give you an idea of the media scene.
A live video feed from the courtroom cameras will still be provided as the verdict is read - plus we will get photos from the still photographer.
