JOSHUA "JJ" VALLOW, TYLEE RYAN, TAMMY DAYBELL, & CHARLES VALLOW: State of Idaho/Arizona vs. Lori & Chad Daybell *GUILTY*

1580704661510.png

Police seem to be no closer to finding 7-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow and 17-year-old Tylee Ryan than they were when this story began months ago.

Since that time, the story has gained international attention as it’s taken twists and turns involving a purported cult, dead spouses, delusions of divinity and preparing for the end of the world. Despite all the angles, and the ever-growing number of people related to the case, the facts remain essentially the same as when it was first announced.

The two children remain missing and the parents, Lori (Vallow) Daybell, and her new husband, Chad Daybell, refuse to disclose their whereabouts to police. Both have been named persons of interest in the disappearance of the children. Law enforcement is also investigating the deaths of the Daybells’ previous respective spouses, Charles Vallow and Tammy Daybell, though neither Chad nor Lori have been named suspects in those cases.

Not that it matters to her time in prison, but why aren't JJ and Tylee's murders consecutive?
They are consecutive. JJ's murer, Tylee's murder and the conspiracy on Tammy. Those three are consecutive. The conspiracies on the children are then concurrent. I watched what I could on breaks. Left when they were just coming back in from Boyce's first break and then caught up from that point when I got a break or two. When I got home well after 9 I watched the rest where he sentenced her.

It was very clear, each murder sentence is consecutive, with Tammy all he had was conspiracy so he made that one consecutive for Tammy's family/her murder. So those three are consecutive no parole life sentences.
 
12:35 p.m. Judge tells Lori can appeal the sentence to the Idaho Supreme Court but it must be done within 42 days.

12:34 p.m. Lori also ordered to pay restitution and fines.

12:33 p.m. Three of the life sentences will run consecutively – meaning one after the other. The other two will be consurrent. Lori Vallow Daybell will never walk free again.

12:31 p.m. Grand theft charge – 5 years fixed, 5 years indeterminate.

12:30 p.m. All three conspiracy charges – life no parole on each.

12:29 p.m. Tylee murder – life no parole. JJ murder – life no parole.

12:28 p.m. Boyce ready to pronounce sentence. Lori and her attorneys rise.

12:27 p.m. Boyce says Lori destroyed family relationships, took people away who were loved, cared for and needed. “You may not believe to this day that you’ve done anything wrong but I don’t believe a God in any religion would want to have this happened what happened here.”

12:25 p.m. “JJ and Tylee’s lives were cut way too short because of you…It is a loss for everyone that you took them away from this world. It is the most shocking things I can imagine that a mother killed their own children and you simply have no remorse for it. There is no remorse for what you did.”

12:24 p.m. “Tammy Daybell was murdered as a result of your conspiracy. She was by all accounts a happy, healthy mother and wife and you were out shopping for wedding rings to marry her husband while she was still alive. You were planning a wedding. You haven’t shown any remorse for any of your actions.”

12:23 p.m. Boyce notes that during the trial when photos were shown of Lori and Chad in Hawaii while the kids were buried at Chad’s house, jurors showed disgust on their faces. Boyce says there are images he will never get out of his mind “and I was just looking at the pictures.”

12:22 p.m. Boyce tells Lori she used “blood money” to fund her lifestyle in Hawaii as police and the public were searching for her children. “You wanted to be excused and not have to watch the evidence and were find to let everyone else in the courtroom – including the jurors – sit through that.”

12:20 p.m. “You came here from east Idaho where I’ve spent my life and came here from somewhere else to make your children disappears. You removed your children, alienated them from friends and family. You moved to Rexburg – a community where you could find 1,000 random families to take your children – and you brought them here to murder them. You had so many other options. You chose the most evil and destructive path possible. You killed those children to remove them as obstacles and profit financially. You justified all this to go down a bizarre religious rabbit hole and clearly you are still there.”

12:18 p.m. Boyce says he learned and saw all the facts with the jurors during Lori’s trial. “Having considered all the evidence I saw at trial, it’s been a difficult task for me to narrow down and articulate all the aggravating factors because there are so many here.”

12:16 p.m. Boyce says he will not comment on Chad as his trial has not happened yet. Boyce says typically people without a criminal history are often given probation or a chance to prove themselves. “You’ve been convicted of and committed the more serious crimes possible and those crimes deserve the most serious punishment.”

12:13 p.m. Boyce commends Lori for being a good inmate in the Madison County Jail. She has served over 1,000 days. He tells her she has been respectful of the court. “You do have mental health issues. I’ve dealt with those throughout the context of this case. I have reviewed those reports. The most current diagnosis the court has is from February of this year, which shows she suffers from delusion disorder with hyper religiosity and personality disorder.

12:11 p.m. Boyce explains the factors he considers in handing down a sentence including the likelihood to re-offend.

12:09 p.m. Boyce says he’s reviewed Idaho case law about whether Lori should go to prison and whether a long prison term would be appropriate.

12:07 p.m. Boyce says normally he would rely on other information from the PSI but she did not cooperate with the PSI investigator and intended to remain silence. She did not complete the packet or any court-ordered screenings. “That was your choice to not cooperate but it left me without additional information.”
Well she is a threat to everyone. Children obviously. Funny how many adults died around her too. She's a threat to everything. She's worried about herself. And IMO would do anything if it would benefit her. Too bad you can't go see the new "Barbie" Movie Lori. But you probably already think it's your life story. Crock pot.

Ah ok. Thanks for clarifying that.
 
I just listened to Lori’s complete statement. Oh my! All she did was confirm that the prosecutors were correct in the reason she murdered her kids. What a lunatic.

Goodbye!
I heard it on break. I have a lot to say but can't catch up now. Like you said OH MY! Half listening to some that were there covering it. Listening to Gigi right now.

Loir had to, she had to, she can't help herself imo. As Gigi said Tammy's sister said, something on the order of I don't know who the heck visited her but it sure wasn't Tammy...
 
Ah ok. Thanks for clarifying that.
yeah to put it better, three consecutive life sentences for the highest charge on each so each gets justice imo. Five total life sentences without parole, but the "lower" two of the kids run concurrent but all got one, three consecutive on the "highest" charge for each. Boyce said first he struggled with what is the point of consecutive life sentences when Idahol without parole with life is LIFE. Then he realized each murder was a different date, each murder a separate murder, etc. and to just have one life sentence served would be like not giving life for the other victims. I am VERY MUCH paraphrasing but that's the gist of it.

What I found interesting in her ramblings was this nugget:

Accidental deaths happen, suicides happen, medication reactions happen. (Not word for word)

So, she presented 3 alternate causes of death for 3 people.

I'm wondering if we just got a glimpse into Chad's planned defense.
 
Pocatello website. Lori may or may not spend her life sentence in this particular prison.


PWCC is the department's first facility designed specifically to meet the unique program needs of female residents. It opened in April 1994, has an operating capacity of 331 female residents and houses all custody levels. The facility operates the reception and diagnostic center for women. PWCC also has vocational work projects, Correctional Industries, education, programming, pre-release program and work-release program.

Do they have a Mrs. Prisoner pageant?

I wonder the same exact thing! Have they been in contact? I guess their attorneys could pass messages.

Maybe? I mean, her explanation there doesn't explain why she would conceal a death or abuse a corpse or a million other things.

Trying to figure out who is who in her neat little list.

Tylee suicide? Guessing she would try to pass JJ off as accidental.
