PHOENIX, AZ — Lori Vallow Daybell has been convicted of conspiring to murder her niece’s ex-husband, Brandon Boudreaux, marking her second murder conspiracy conviction in Arizona in less than two months, according to NBC News.
A jury delivered the verdict Thursday after deliberating for less than an hour, KSL.com reported.
The failed attempt on Boudreaux’s life occurred in October 2019 outside his Gilbert home, when a rifle shot was fired from a Jeep. The bullet missed, but shattered a window. Boudreaux testified that the Jeep matched the one regularly driven by Daybell’s daughter, Tylee Ryan, before her death.
Prosecutors argued Daybell conspired with her brother, Alex Cox, to carry out the shooting. Video evidence showed Daybell removing the Jeep’s back seat and wheel and placing them in storage.
Prosecutors believe Cox left his phone in Idaho with Daybell as an alibi while he drove the Jeep to Arizona to carry out the attack.
Daybell, who represented herself in court, denied any conspiracy, but prosecutor Treena Kay told jurors that a conspiracy was the only explanation that made sense.
This is Daybell’s third major criminal conviction. She was sentenced in Idaho to five life terms without parole for murdering her children—Tylee Ryan and Joshua “JJ” Vallow—and conspiring in the death of Tammy Daybell. In April, she was convicted of conspiring to murder her former husband, Charles Vallow, in Chandler, Arizona.
Sentencing for both Arizona convictions is slated for July 25. Each carries a potential life sentence.
After the verdict, Boudreaux stood with family members of other victims and shared a statement.
“I did not enjoy sitting and giving someone who tried to kill me the chance to question me,” he said, “but I owed it to Charles, to Tylee, to JJ and to Tammy to speak because I could.”
Boudreaux said the trial was about justice: “We owe it to victims to uphold justice for them… many victims do not get to see justice.”
Reflecting on healing, he added, “Hating a person can be like a poison to our souls… I believe we can have enmity toward someone’s actions or choices while still forgiving them for our own selves.”
Presumption of Innocence: A presumption of innocence means that any defendant in a criminal trial is presumed to be innocent until they have been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. The defendant in this case is only accused of the charges set forth in the criminal complaint. They are innocent until proven guilty.
