Is Lori Vallow Mentally Ill or Legally Responsible? Motta Dissects the Case
What if one of America’s most infamous convicted killers got a second chance to defend herself—and actually did a halfway decent job? In Lori Vallow Daybell’s Arizona trial, the once-apocalyptic mom ditched the theatrics and came surprisingly prepared. No doomsday visions. No courtroom outbursts. Just a self-represented defendant who, shockingly, managed to land a few arguments.
Defense attorney Bob Motta joins to dissect Lori’s unexpected legal performance, the prosecution’s late-inning rally, and the judge’s tightrope walk between patience and control. Why did this seven-day trial feel like it could have gone either way? What role did circumstantial evidence—and the things the jury didn't hear—really play? And how close did Lori come to walking free?
This isn’t just another chapter in a bizarre case—it’s a rare look at what happens when justice, ego, and strategy collide in real time.
