The defense, led by attorney Jim Archibold, responded by suggesting that Chad had manipulated Vallow Daybell through his apocalyptic teachings, painting her as a victim rather than a willing participant.
The shocking trial exposed the darker side of a cult dynamic and revealed the devastating consequences it brought on innocent lives. As the hammer fell on the guilty verdict, the nation grappled with the chilling reality of “Doomsday Mom’s” actions and the tragic consequences of a twisted plot.
“She wanted to be with Chad. They were obviously having an affair. But Lori had no plan to kill her children.” Archibold told the court.
Vallow’s grandfather, Larry Woodcock, came to court wearing a T-shirt that proudly proclaimed him “World’s Greatest Dad.”
