5/27/21 Update: Order Staying Case: Back in March 8, 2021, Lori’s fitness to proceed was drawn into question by her counsel. After a psychological assessment, the Court determined at this time the defendant is not competent to proceed & recommends restorative treatment. The State contests the finding of the report. Therefore, the Court will schedule a hearing on the issue & stay in this case remains in effect pending determination of the issue of competency. Order signed by District Judge Steven W. Boyce.

6/8/21: Order of Commitment pursuant to I.C. Sec.18-212: Lacks fitness to proceed/competency filed by Judge Steven W. Boyce. 6/10/21: Discovery Disclosure filed by State: https://coi.isc.idaho.gov/docs/case/CR22211623/Discovery Disclosure.pdf
6/11/21: In the document filed Friday, Mark Means is making the requests because of Daybell’s “fragile mental state of incompetency, as a direct result of the historical & systematic mental, emotional & physical abuse she suffered.” Means did not detail the abuse but said he is raising concerns due to allegations of conversations between the Director of the IDHW & prosecutors over Daybell’s situation while excluding Means. Means states that he wants to be directly involved in Daybell’s treatment & asks for the names & credentials of all people involved in her care. Means also wants to know proposed treatment, medications & plans before they are administered to Daybell. Means also addresses concerns after Daybell was declared indigent, meaning she has limited ability to pay for legal services such as a defense attorney or investigative or expert fees. Means, an attorney privately retained by Daybell, goes on to say no funds have been made available to him from the county & his costs have included subpoenas of Daybell’s close friend, Melanie Gibb, the Madison County Sheriff’s Office, costs to buy hard drives & transportation costs to meet with prosecutors. He said by allowing private access to Daybell, future additional costs can be avoided.
6/16/21: Special Prosecutor Rob Wood says a recent motion filed by Lori Vallow Daybell’s attorney is “inappropriate” and “absurd.” Wood is responding to the motion in court documents filed Wednesday by calling Means’ arguments “unfounded” and “legally unauthorized.” “The State is unaware of any legal, psychiatric or medical authority that would allow the Court, Defense Counsel or the Prosecutor, all of whom lack medical degrees, to interfere with the daily treatment of the Defendant or dictate how any such treatment should proceed,” Wood wrote. Means also asked Boyce to place a gag order on anyone caring for Daybell while she is in custody. Wood says all medical information is protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act so making such an order is not needed. Wood asks District Judge Steven Boyce to deny Means’ motion and says a hearing on the matter is not necessary because the requests are “unfounded and legally unauthorized.”
6/17/21: Vallow is now a patient at Intermountain Hospital (?) in Boise, ID on 6/24/21. 6/17/21: Order to unseal hearing. 6/18/21: Declared Motion to Compel / Notice of transfer of discovery documents. Means says the State has not complied with his request for discovery served on 5/27. The State responded on 6/10, saying discovery would be provided by 7/15. Means wants a hearing & sanctions against State. 6/18/21: Order to Seal re State's emergency motion to seal 2nd declared motion to compel & request for sanctions (filed by Mark Means) & notice of hearing & status conference hearing scheduled on 7/1/21. 6/25/21: Order Unsealing 6/18/21 Orders. Upon further review the Court determines that I.C.A.R. 32((i)(l) does not require that the Orders to Seal be sealed, but the pleadings referenced in the orders shall remained sealed.
