Overview

• Vallow Daybell chose to represent herself in both trials, repeatedly clashing with Judge Justin Beresky over evidence and courtroom procedure.
• Prosecutors presented messages and testimony showing she enlisted her brother, Alex Cox, to kill her estranged husband for his $1 million policy and later to target her niece’s ex-husband.
• Victim impact statements detailed ongoing trauma, with Charles Vallow’s son describing lifelong sorrow and Brandon Boudreaux’s family recounting months of fear after the failed shooting.
• Judge Beresky declared she “should never be released from prison,” ordered the Arizona life terms to run consecutively and imposed a lifetime no-contact injunction for victims’ families.
• These sentences conclude her Arizona legal saga and augment her Idaho life terms for the 2020 murders of her two children and the conspiracy against Tammy Daybell.
