LISTEN: Prosecutor closing arguments in Lori Vallow Daybell case

Someone on the other side of the country was telling me the only reason they know about this case, is because of "that one reporter from Idaho". You know they're talking about Nate! And prbly saw him in Hawaii saying "Lori where are the kids?! The entire country is praying for your children" etc etc.

[@stephwhi2]

I agree. I thunk the reason why they didnt show this by television was because of the graphic pictures being shown but also because of how lori acred in front of the cameras when she was brought in on the charges against her.

I find it exciting, psychologically speaking, how much Lori Vallow has aged. Before her obsession with Chad and mentally ill ideas about her own grandiosity, about zombies, etc., she was an outwardly pretty woman.

Where in the Bible do you see when Jesus crossed the path of someone possessed by a demon so he killed them? Nowhere. There's a commandment about murder. I think it's clear who was taken over by demons. What a nightmare

As a matter of fact, she was not the best mother...

She even managed to gaslight and brainwash Colby, she was the actual abuser and she must have been really really talented at it because now he's 27 and he still believes that Joe Ryan sexually abused him. I'm sorry Colby but common sense tells us and your mother's soulless husk tells us that you were broken, abused and cheated of your own reality, you had your childhood defrauded just like she kept de frauding the government after she killed your most innocent and beloved siblings.

So much weight went to forensic science. The jurors seemed to reject circumstantial evidence back then. Before Casey’s case, was OJ. Very obvious who did it based on the circumstantial evidence and forensic science. Dna was brand new. The jurors didn’t understand it at all. Just wasn’t enough evidence maybe but that case turned into a racial case. The victims were lost in the hatred of race and hate for the wrong people. This case may not have a ton of forensic evidence but all the circumstantial evidence is so strong. It is literally written out for us all to see.

If they don’t find this B______ guilty, I will have lost all faith in our judicial system. UGH! Horrible how these poor people died😭😭😭

[@lisapreston918]

If they don't find her guilty there is no place in the world that would be safe for her

[@FatBabyToodles]

Prayers she's guilty 🙏

[@melaniegaribaldi6724]

Great work prosecution 😊

[@patricktompkins1103]

Your prayer will come true!

[@mrsrichter8586]

Here's a thought. If Lori was telling everyone that her kids were fine and safe somewhere, then why was she keeping their money for herself and not sending even a part of it to whomever was supposed to be taking care of the kids? And, why was there not one iota of her speaking to protect her kids from any of the 'plans Chad had'? So there's no caught red handed evidence but there is also not 'please don't hurt my kids' evidence either.

[@teresathayn5170]

No matter what happens to her Tylee, JJ and Tammy are still gone! Ron Wood, you did great dude!!! Thank you, thank you!!❤

[@MichelleKavarnos]

Rob Wood knocked it out of the park!!

[@lulu5374]

He sure did!

[@handywoman840]

We need to start recognising the danger signs of narcissistic behaviours in parents. Lori murdered her children, but her narcissism seems indicated before that: i think she inhabited the social role of loving mother because it brought her a level of recognition, admiration, and even sanctity.

[@carrollcordell304]

I believe Chad would have been another target of her’s later in life, for another payout of insurance money.

[@HomewardBound961]

I wonder just how many others would have ended up on their dark list, had they not been stopped.

[@shay4415]

@@HomewardBound961 well we know they attempted to k!ll Brandon and Melanie P’s children were on there. And I’m sorry but I know they ruled Alex’s death natural but NO ONE can make me believe he was not murdered… dying literally the day after Tammy’s body was exhumed and shortly after he said to Zulema he is scared Lori and Chad are going to make him there fall guy. No way it was natural

For sure. She would have tired of him within the year had they not been arrested.

[@patriciafoster3347]

Interesting how she assumed no one would ever notice that the kids were missing.

[@anya44159]

Why the jury deliberated for so long?! It’s obvious she’s guilty!

[@AuntChuck]

Excellent job, Rob!

[@contentedspirit9022]

HOW could anyone toeture and kill children? My youngest daughter is on the autism spectrum and Tylee resembled my oldest daughter. This case has horrified me from the beginning. First of all, killing Charles to be with Chad?🤢 And the disturbing texts between them. Ugh. But to kill those beautiful kids, especially in the horrific mamor they did, is the worst thing imaginable. Lori makes Casey Anthony look sweet. Then to kill Tammy so they could be married was unbelievable. All that, but to believe that Jesus was in favor of all of this, is the most vile thought they conjured up. I pray both of them get full justice for their acts.

[@sinahaase9923]

If lori died in 2018 or early 2019, 4 lives would be spared…5 including Alex. She’s connected to every death. They didn’t kill chads kids cuz they weren’t “obstacles.” Only her children were. If she was gone, they would all be alive; that’s how you know it was truly loris fault and not just chads.

[@lisapreston918]

Also Chad's kids were not getting social security benefits. There was no profit from their deaths

The irony here is amazing, in 2018 Alex Cox gets into an altercation with Joseph Ryan allegedly because of him being an abusive person towards Tylee Ryan. Flash Forward less than two years later and he's dismembering and burning her body.

[@bethanywhite877]

I listened like a juror would on this case. I didn’t miss much. It seemed pretty obvious she was guilty early in the trial. For me, the texting between everyone, is what brought me to guilty with a reasonable doubt. I’m not sure when we get to Charles. If he is watching I’m sure he wouldn’t care if we got to his trial at all. Tammy feels the same way I’m sure. They want verdicts for the children over and above anything else. That is what good parents do. Protect their children. I can picture Tammy, Charles, JJ and Tylee right now. They won’t celebrate the convictions per say, but I see hugs and kisses with a huge sigh relief on all their faces. I see them satisfied but grieving for the the lost souls of three people, Alex, Chad, Lori, they once loved very much.

[@cougsrule54]

The horrific way that seven year old child died, while no doubt the adult watched . Burn in hell, nothing else is punishment enough. I’m hoping for some jailhouse justice.

[@loveforeignaccents]

Very good and precise closing argument; well done! No doubt in my mind she's guilty. Hope the jury makes the right decision and reaches their verdict tomorrow.

[@annohalloran6020]

JJ. First they took his daddy. Then his dog. Then his sister. Then his life. She would have been so very mean to him in those final weeks. Poor sweet prince. Angels sing thee to thy rest.

[@ShyFly1000]

I know she was upset after the defense arguments. Was Lori at all impacted by the closing arguments from the state? Or was it only that they impugned Chad that she showed any emotions?

[@kimhaughton3771]

Right? If that was the reason, it shows that Lori still firmly believes in this crap! It's hard to imagine that level of delusion!!!! Perhaps she believes because she needs to believe it because if it's not true she in a crap heep of trouble both on Earth and in the hereafter. SMH

[@TAZ-yh3hy]

My thoughts exactly!

[@bonnienelson7373]

I can't believe Defense didn't tell her what they were going to say....wouldn't that be illegal??

[@shieh.4743]

These people are so disgusting. What they did to Tylee in particular is beyond comprehension. And why? Because she was a typical teen who "didn't like Chad". 🤬

[@lesliebee8918]

What I can't piece together is what happened to Tylee? Did Chad shoot her like the raccoon he alluded to? Or did Alex kill her in the early morning hours at the apartment then take her to Chad's a few hours later? If Alex transported poor Tylee's body wouldn't her blood have been discovered? Were his vehicles ever checked?

[@bonnienelson7373]

Great question! I'd like to think they ended her life quickly before the diabolical treatment!

[@JaneMetcalfe]

@@bonnienelson7373 Tylee WAS the raccoon, if you get my drift. Sick beyond words.

[@danishpastries3941]

Alex could not carry Tylee alone. He would have needed help. I doubt he butchered her at his place and took her to Chad's house in pieces. There would have been lots of blood wherever this horrible crime happened.

[@VionaRG]

Brilliant closing argument👏👏👏

[@t5l239]

For sure, Lori was jealous of Tylee. Prettier, more confident, with a will to do what's right. She knew too much and loved JJ in a way Lori was incapable of.

Remembering Charles Tylee JJ Tammy 🙏 great work Rob Wood you stayed very professional and dedicated even during Lori’s circus at the start ✊

Both Melanie's and Alex's wife needs to be held accountable I think that's why the prosecution says Co conspirators without naming names. If it wasn't for Brandon Melanie's kids would be in Chad's back yard.and I don't buy Melanie' Gibbs story she knew at least about jj and Charles.

[@reynaolvera7526]

She was. People in interviews have said they had a very strange, and far too close, relationship. I think Alex was mesmerized by Lori, and Lori knew that and used his disability and loyalty to her benefit. I’d love to know how Joe Ryan, and loris sister, died.

[@dawnb3194]

He was said to have the decision making skills of a 16 year old after a brain injury in a vehicle crash. He was possibly vulnerable to his sister’s manipulation - another easy victim.

[@joycemeadows1821]

ALEX was under her spell always. Even when she was married to Joe Ryan.

[@danishpastries3941]

I think Lori used sex to controll Alex. Alex ex wife said they had a very inappropriate relationship. Sex and making him feel special and her hero.
