Lori Daybell Faces Off with Judge During Murder Trial
PHOENIX, AZ — In a dramatic courtroom scene on Friday, Lori Vallow Daybell was escorted out by officers after clashing with Judge Justin Beresky during the second day of her trial for the conspiracy to murder Brandon Boudreaux. Tensions escalated when Daybell accused the judge of yelling at her and disputed his authority, stating, “I’m very courteous to you.” The judge countered, “You have been nothing near courteous to me during the proceedings.”
Daybell, already convicted of multiple murders, is accused of planning the shooting of Boudreaux in 2019, with her brother, Alex Cox, identified as the gunman. Prosecutor Trina Kay highlighted Daybell’s role in orchestrating the crime, asserting that she acted as Cox’s alibi.
As the trial unfolded, Judge Beresky cautioned Daybell against discussing her character. He warned that her claims of being a loving individual could allow the prosecution to introduce evidence of her prior convictions, which include her involvement in the murders of her two children and ex-husband. This prompted a contentious exchange regarding Daybell’s motives and the nature of her relationships.
Testimony included Boudreaux, who denied a close friendship with Daybell, stating their relationship was contentious at times. Other witnesses recounted instances related to the shooting, including the sighting of a suspicious Jeep.
Daybell’s current trial is set to continue into next week, following her earlier convictions, which resulted in five life sentences without the possibility of parole. Her husband, Chad Daybell, awaits sentencing for his role in the murders of Lori’s children and his former spouse. This high-profile case continues to capture significant media attention as the legal proceedings unfold.
