50 Jurors Waited—Then Lori Showed Up in a Wheelchair Inside the Trial Meltdown
On June 2, 2025, the long-anticipated Arizona trial of Lori Vallow Daybell took an unexpected turn before it even began. Known widely as the "Doomsday Mom," Lori Vallow is facing charges of conspiracy to commit the attempted murder of her former nephew-in-law, Brandon Boudreaux. But just as jury selection was about to start, the entire process was thrown into disarray.
Vallow arrived in court in a wheelchair, claiming she was too ill to proceed. Describing symptoms of nausea, chills, and a headache, she insisted she couldn’t defend herself—and as her own legal counsel, that brought everything to a screeching halt. The courtroom was filled with prospective jurors, the prosecution team, and the alleged victim himself. And yet, in under two hours, proceedings were suspended until later in the week.
This video breaks down the legal implications of the delay, the real-time reactions inside the courtroom, and what this moment reveals about the broader strategy at play. We examine how Vallow’s choice to represent herself is already complicating the case—and why the judge’s warnings about future disruptions might be the most telling part of the day.
Featuring expert commentary, timeline analysis, and direct quotes from the courtroom, this episode is your all-access pass to one of the strangest opening acts in recent true crime trial history. Why did Lori Vallow really refuse to proceed? How did the judge, jury pool, and prosecution respond? And what does this mean for the road ahead?
