LIVE! Vallow Speaks In Court! Says She Was Never Incompetent

[@alidadebruyn36]

I don’t blame the doctor, you cannot blame the doctor because Lori refuses to co-operate so how can they do a proper assessment? This is for Lori’s benefit, she needs to grow up and get it over with, she is delaying her own case, she knows she is guilty. Thank God she is already charged with the other 3 murders, let’s hope Charles can get his justice swiftly 🙏 justice for Charles Vallow. The police failed him, he begged them for protection, he told them how crazy she had become but no one listened, 💙

[@mynameiseve.1]

Yikes, whats up with the lawyer? She sounds like shes about to burst into tears😬

[@robinrogers6655]

My initial thoughts too! Her voice sounds so shakey, like she’s super nervous!

[@misstuxbrandi]

Maybe she's new and in the beginning of her career and still has stage fright🤷‍♂️

[@Ichneumonxx]

I guess I'd be at my wits end too with LV as a client.

[@debhorne150]

I was thinking maybe she's got a cold, and stuffy nose, Lol. Sounds like that a little bit. But her voice is definitely shaking also..

[@SeattleJeffin]

I think the playback of the court video has been speed up to 1.5x speed and that makes everyone sound kinda manic or nervous.

[@taylorburton7820]

Even at normal speed, the attorney needs vocal coaching. She needs to breathe deeply into belly and allow calm, more professionally effective voice. She comes off as hysterical, in trying to be persuasive, perhaps.

[@kathrynjavandel4357]

When Lori Vallow was found incompetent to stand trial in Idaho, she was transferred from the jail to a mental hospital for 10 months of competency restoration treatment. In Arizona, inmates remain in jail while they receive competency restoration treatment. I wonder if Lori pretended to be incompetent in hopes of getting transferred out of the jail to a mental hospital again but then when she discovered that Arizona doesn't work that way, she told her attorneys "Never mind."

[@christinametal1071]

maybe!!!!

[@JoBeth-tw6ki]

Not a chance I don’t think. She will never give the slightest indication she is incompetent. She wants control over her narrative and wants to tell her rubbish story, she wants to be seen as a prophet so to speak who does what Jesus tells her. She is delusional but in her mind she isn’t and everyone else is. It’s not lost on me that her lawyer filed the Rule 11 right after her new story to Colby about what happened to the children was made public. The lawyer then deemed her possibly incompetent as it was utter nonsense. After that she wants to represent herself as she knows lawyers will likely not go with her stories as they just don’t add up to evidence.

[@dbentleyto95]

Agree with the judge. I can see her wanting to come back after found guilty and say it wasn't fair because she didn't know (fill in the blank) and want another trial. She definitely is manipulative, but this court must have confidence in her competency.

[@Harlem55]

Except you cant do that as a matter of precedent - Strickland v. Washington.

[@katego370]

@@Harlem55 Imagine if a lawyer had raised the issue in the Darrell Brooks case. Had the judge not done the whole competency process, she would've then practically been forced to halt the trial the minute Brooks went crazy during the trial. People are presumed competent but if there are questions raised about competency, the court then has to hand it over to mental health professionals to diagnose what's actually going on in her brain. It doesn't mean the court believes she's incompetent, it simply means there is a question that needs to be solved properly before the time comes for the defendant to think of every possible excuse to get a second shot at a trial.

[@April700]

Oh she’s competent alright. She’s evil and manipulative. She know exactly what she’s doing

[@susanmehrlebrun9439]

April - she’s crazy like a Fox.

[@Theworstwitch72]

I go back and forth because anytime she is talking about anything other than the murders she is 100% lucid .When she spoke to Colby she could recall events and people places ect .Being super religious doesn’t make you not competent!!! Either way there is no god waiting for Lori just the depths of hell

[@cheryldavidson-Godandguitars1]

Yup!! 100% agree. She’s evil and evil KNOWS what it’s doing!!! If she’s deemed incompetent does that somehow mitigate her guilt in this?? She did what she did for her own gain. She’s the epitome of depravity - evil does exist. Yes, she has crazy beliefs (we think) she thinks that she’s a goddess etc. but she’s a true narcissist as well. This does not mean she’s incompetent. I’m Not sure what this is all leading up to , but i believe she wants to defend herself to grandstand before the jury and the country. She’ll take any attention she can get! I say buzz her hair off and let her defend herself if she is that dumb, or don’t let her - either way, she’ll bury herself!

[@ellietaylor7618]

That giggle alone proves she competent as it was manipulative and she thinks she is running the show.

[@GlamGam1964]

I got a kick out of the judge when he said that the doctor should have been sure or not make a report. I laughed out loud the first time I heard it.

[@annemarieallaire6564]

Proceed with caution is always good. Let her be evaluated for competency; if she's competent we move forward and if not, she goes back into care until she is deemed competent. Thank you Peter for the breakdowns.

[@BjBeam]

I wonder if the judge heard the defense lawyer turn to Lori and say, "This is crazy. I've never seen anything like this." It was during the part when judge was reading that Pete fast forwarded through.

[@coldisle]

Is she competent???? That question has been answered 1000 times, and she clarified it…and her “competency “ when she she let us know that JJ and Tylee are “ happy..and BUSY.”

[@AnneStewart-oe7rj]

[@EmilysDismantlingDelulus]

I think Lori is completely competent and extremely manipulative..IMO she is a psychopath

[@e.starling141]

Yes, and to your point I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if she was diagnosed with an antisocial personality disorder (psychopathy, narcissism). And I could see her not wanting that made public.

[@Gringa_L]

Is it just me, or was that one of the most chaotic hearings I've ever seen? And, of course Lori is competent. She's an intelligent narcissist. Manipulation takes a sound mind.

[@boredinmichigan]

I don’t understand why a person with a delusional disorder would be assumed to be competent.

[@MKM508]

It hasn't been determined by this court that there is a delusional disorder. If there is one, it should come out in the evaluation by the next interview with the doctor. Then perhaps she would be found incompetent. Personally, I think she will be found competent. LV knows what to say to present herself as competent because she IS competent, previous delusions aside.

[@JessCatlessi]

Peter, we always want more with you. More lives, more pre-recorded. The more the merrier! Happy Thanksgiving week and thank you for sharing your time with us!

[@BeeMcDee]

Hey Peter, this discussion around competency motions prompted me to ask this. International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD) is coming up on December 3. Could you maybe do a video about the laws and limits for people with intellectual disability, brain injuries or speech disabilities, how they’re assisted to testify or otherwise give evidence? To my understanding, just having an intellectual disability doesn’t preclude a person from standing trial, testifying or being a witness. But I’m curious how their rights vs risks are weighed up. Not that Vallow has an intellectual disability! But the same laws are applied to psychological capacity as to intellectual/cognitive, yes?

[@SerJorahBorealis]

This is an excellent idea

[@BeeMcDee]

@@SerJorahBorealis I figured that he would have had clients who acquire brain injuries or other kinds of cognitive difficulties, so he might know the ins and outs of an often forgotten part of law. 😊

[@lilnikki3233]

I believe Lori is stalling as much as possible. Lori wants to be in Arizona vs Idaho. Her family is there, she prefers the warm climate, etc.

[@suzque]

She knows exactly what she is doing. If she stops “believing” all this crazy, then she has to come to terms with what she did to her own children (and others). She will never admit her beliefs are false because then she will also have to admit she’s guilty.

[@erikaxchristine]

Yes! 100%

[@KatB79]

[@ValeskaTruax]

Wonder how Kay and Larry will feel if Lori represents herself? Lori just wants center stage.

[@Katrina-qs2rl]

Virtually all pro se defendants I've watched appear to have chosen to represent themselves for exactly that reason: they want a platform for their strange beliefs. 😮

[@lieke9460]

I think it gives a lot more insight if the defendent talks herself during her own trial.

[@vickieliupakka2975]

This attorney seems anxious

[@UnicornsNana-fx8oo]

I would certainly be nervous if I had to represent LV!

[@alidadebruyn36]

Like Jodie Arias who tried to represent herself. Seriously do they honestly think they can come up against lawyers who have studied hard for years and who work daily on cases and constantly updating themselves with the law. Do they think they can do a better job than these lawyers. Another Darryl Brooks in the form of Lori Daybell. I would rather give her that surname than that of sweet handsome Charles Vallow

[@WiseChild1987]

IMO: The State isn’t doing its job very well if they didn’t know she was found incompetent in Idaho; it was all over the news and part of the official record of proceedings. I hope they step up their game for the trial! Justice for Charles and Brandon! 🙏

[@justMelissa72]

Let's ask Colby if she's competent. I'm quite sure he will say that she's not

[@barbaraanne2136]

I remember hearing about this case locally . Our news reported the killing of Charles as a self-defense shooting. The reporting seemed fine with the self-defense claim. As a gun owner, I would never shoot a person over an argument. I would leave. How many cases have we heard recently where self-defense is claimed and the the defendant is found guilty?

[@marthastancil6188]

[@ethanmacomber1452]

Most Prosecutors/Attorneys weaponize the Competency process as a delay tactic or as a defamatory/ inflammatory dog and pony show hoping to get a rise out of the defendant or cast a subconscious bias to the Judge in an effort to help either sides case. They have absolute immunity so they always get away with it and don't care about any damage mentally, reputation wise to the defendant because they like to use Competency as a Lawfare tactic against you to get the plea deal they want (especially for people already in jail it adds extra time for them to use as credit served as part of a downward departure when the state knows they have a weak case) . They only have to file a "Suggestion" as " Good faith" (which is of course extremely vague and hard to prove bad faith).

[@jensilberberg196]

Peter, you WILL be covering this case, won't you? I have been following this case/story since watching Netflix's docuseries "Sins of our Mother". So I have seen both Lori's first trial as co-conspirator and murderer of Tami (sp?) Daybell, Tylee and JJ, as well as Chad's trial for the same crimes, and now I am glad that the other victim(s)are having justice sought on their behalf. I do feel like of course her choice to represent herself falls into the whole "He who acts as his own lawyer has a fool for a client" category...her statement at sentencing for the Idaho trial is an example of how she could well use this opportunity to get up in court and say whatever she wants put out there. Also....it's interesting to me that she's finally gone back to Vallow after quite loyally (and for awhile, according to family members) clinging to her husband and at least his last name long after he threw her under the bus at his trial. At which he was sentenced to death. I predict she seeks to marry yet again! Just a crazy, crazy story and set of circumstances.

Honestly, Peter, after watching some trials and listening to you, explain legal issues that come up in trials. I don’t know why any late person would want to represent themselves.

I seriously doubt that anyone, who is not an actual trial attorney could safely and confidently way through the waters and get to the other side in one piece. I know I wouldn’t want to try it. Although I am well educated, with a masters degree, I would never ever dare to represent myself in any legal proceeding. No telling how much trouble I would create for myself.
