Lori Daybell: Judge keeps trial on track

After days of delay by the so-called 'Doomsday Mom,' a jury has not been seated for her 2nd and final trial in Arizona. FOX 10 Investigator Justin Lum has more.

The Brief

    • Jury selection has concluded for Lori Daybell's second Arizona trial.
    • Daybell is accused of conspiring with her late brother in the attempted murder of her ex-nephew-in-law.
    • Daybell left court early on Monday, complaining of headaches, nausea and chills.

PHOENIX - Jury selection resumed and concluded on Wednesday in Lori Daybell's second Arizona trial.

Proceedings were cut short on Monday, when the so-called ‘Doomsday Mom' left early because she was sick. On Wednesday, however, FOX 10 Investigative Reporter Justin Lum confirmed that Judge Justin Beresky ordered the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office to bring Vallow from jail to the courtroom..

Ultimately, a jury with eight men and eight women was assembled. Opening statements are now set for 10 a.m. on June 5.

Lori Vallow Daybell: Doomsday Mom back in court

Days after she complained of feeling ill, Lori Vallow Daybell is back in court after she was ordered by a judge. The so-called Doomsday Mom is set to go on trial for a second and final time in Arizona.

What's next:

As a new jury is about to hear a case involving Vallow Daybell, we hear from one of the jurors on her April 2025 trail about what lies ahead.

"It's intense. It's really intense," said Tass Reed-Tucker. "If they have no idea coming into it, they have no idea what they're getting into now. Even if it's a lower-profile event, it's still gonna be just as intense."

The backstory:

For her second and final trial in Arizona, Vallow Daybell is accused of conspiring with her late brother, Alex Cox, in the attempted murder of her ex-nephew-in-law, Brandon Boudreaux.

Boudreaux was shot at outside his Gilbert home in October 2019. While Boudreaux was not hit, the incident is linked to a series of deadly events in Idaho, including the murders of Vallow Daybell's two children, Joshua "JJ" Vallow and Chad Daybell's first wife, Tammy.

In April 2025, Vallow Daybell was also found guilty of plotting the fatal shooting of her fourth husband, Charles Vallow, in Chandler.
