Mr Archibald repeatedly referred to his client Lori Vallow Daybell as ‘mentally ill’ and how she may actually be watching these hearings from the mental hospital. If one listened to just his statements today they may think that she has really been in the hospital - and not receiving treatment while in the detention center - which I would find even more interesting considering how often @SleuthD-o-doubleg reported to us seeing them both (their vehicles) there. Obviously he’s careful with his words for these public hearings but I just found that interesting.
and regardless of what one may feel about Lori’s innocence or guilt, and removing Means from the picture, Archibald did seem (in my opinion) to have a concern about how she was going to find out he was removed from the case, how she was going to react to that news, and having whatever time she needs to adjust to that news all while being, as he kept saying, ‘mentally ill’. I don’t like any of what she has done or what she has been accused of, but I can still appreciate this attorney seems to have her best interests in mind.
If Lori truly found out about Means being removed today - while she was watching another one of the YouTube livestreams - I can only imagine what that may cause in her restorative treatment and how that may affect the timeline(s) of this case even more.
