Here We Go Again: Arizona Judge Grants Lori Vallow Daybell’s Request for Competency Evaluation

An Arizona judge has delayed Lori Vallow Daybell’s conspiracy trial and granted her request for a full mental competency evaluation.

According to KSAZ, Vallow Daybell’s defense attorney filed a motion for a “Rule 11 evaluation, and it was granted on Monday by Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Justin Beresky.

Vallow Daybell was set to go on trial in February for conspiracy to kill her fourth husband, Charles Vallow, and the attempted murder of her niece’s ex-husband, Brandon Boudreaux. The judge’s ruling vacates that court date.

She was extradited to Arizona nearly a year ago, as CrimeOnline reported, after she was convicted and sentenced to life in prison in Idaho for the murders of her youngest children, 7-year-old JJ Vallow and 16-year-old Tylee Ryan, and her fifth husband’s first wife, Tammy Daybell. That trial was delayed twice for competency exams.

Her fifth husband, Chad Daybell, was convicted on the same charges in Idaho and sentenced to death. He is not charged in the Arizona case.

Vallow Daybell was last heard from in a hour-long recorded chat with her surviving son, Colby Ryan, which he broadcast on his new podcast, “The Scar Wars Podcast.” In the recording, she said that Tylee Ryan killed JJ Vallow “by accident” and then killed herself. She also said she frequently spoke to Jesus, who had given her a mission, and that she was not crazy.

Beresky ordered that two “qualified mental health experts” would be appointed to conduct the examination.
