Overview

• On July 25, Judge Justin Beresky denied Vallow Daybell’s latest retrial motion and sentenced her to two consecutive life terms for separate murder conspiracy convictions in Maricopa County.
• She was convicted this spring of conspiring with her late brother, Alex Cox, to kill her estranged husband, Charles Vallow, and her niece’s ex-husband, Brandon Boudreaux.
• Prosecutors argued the plots were motivated by a $1 million insurance payout and extremist doomsday beliefs that labeled victims as evil spirits.
• Vallow Daybell, 52, represented herself at both Arizona trials, frequently clashing with Judge Beresky over evidentiary rulings and courtroom conduct.
• Once her Arizona sentence is official, she will be returned to Idaho to continue serving multiple life terms for the 2019 murders of her two children and the conspiracy to kill Tammy Daybell.
