LORI SPEAKS! Lori Vallow Daybell in court, judge denies request to cancel mental health evaluation

#eastidahonews #daybell #Vallow
PHOENIX -- Lori Vallow Daybell will need to undergo mental health evaluations before court proceedings in her Arizona case can resume.
Judge Justin Beresky made the decision during a hearing Wednesday morning, denying a request from Daybell's attorneys to withdraw a motion her former defense team filed requesting a Rule 11 evaluation. Rule 11 governs competency evaluations for defendants who may be mentally incompetent to stand trial.
"She has sufficient mental capacity to understand the nature of this dispute and there has been no history of irrational behavior," said Pamela Hicks, one of Daybell's attorneys.
Daybell was extradited from Idaho to Arizona a year ago on two charges of conspiracy to commit murder in connection to her fourth husband, Charles Vallow, and her former nephew-in-law, Brandon Boudreaux.
Her former attorneys withdrew from the case last month, citing a conflict of interest, and new defense counsel was appointed. They immediately filed a motion to withdraw the Rule 11 evaluation that Beresky had issued weeks earlier.
Daybell's competency was an issue before her murder trial in Idaho. She was admitted to an Idaho Department of Correction mental health facility after being found incompetent for trial in June 2021. Ten months later, she was deemed competent. Court proceedings were again paused for about a month in 2022 due to competency issues, but Judge Steven Boyce ultimately deemed Daybell fit for trial.
Earlier this month, Daybell made it known she wanted to represent herself going forward in the Arizona case. Beresky asked her Wednesday if she had ever been found incompetent in the past.
"Not to my understanding. My understanding was the judge did the same thing you did in an abundance of caution and I came out competent," Daybell responded.
Daybell explained she went through "a process of several things" while in the Idaho facility - including competency classes, meeting with doctors and "many, many evaluators."
Hicks said her client has already spoken briefly with one mental health evaluator in Arizona and Maricopa County Prosecutors asked Beresky to order Daybell to speak with another expert, to which her defense team objected.
"We're going down a rabbit hole," said defense attorney Robert Abernathy as Daybell nodded her head. "If she doesn’t want to talk to the doctors, she doesn’t have to talk to the doctors."
Despite arguments against the Rule 11 evaluation, Beresky said it will remain in place and another expert will evaluate Daybell. The next hearing in the case is scheduled for Dec. 5.

Seriously - He was going so far as to set up an intervention for HER sake - for the sake of the children and their marriage. Instead he was met with MURDER. Ugh!

[@RoxyAndHerDude]

And he was not the only one. Someone else, very close to her, called the police to express concern. He too was ignored. It’s heartbreaking… and absolutely infuriating, considering the cost. I’m NOT now, nor have I ever been, a litigious person. I’ve been hit by a drunk driver (while I was on foot) in a store parking lot (turned out to be the store’s assistant manager who had been sent home due to being intoxicated on the job), slapped by a female supervisor because her husband hit on ‘me’ 🤦🏼‍♀️, had my arse grabbed and then propositioned by a car salesman who worked at the dealership where I was too employed, and, years later - caught one of our employees - via security camera - entering the warehouse at 2 am, then stealing 10K worth of printing equipment from our custom apparel shop. I handled each situation - but never in court. Having a reason to sue someone isn’t in and of itself a good reason to take them to court. Having said all that, I truly believe that the grandparents of those precious babies, as well as the family of Charles Vallow, should ABSOLUTELY go for every red cent possible from the Gilbert Police Department, and demand an investigation be done by the Arizona Attorney General’s office (although they too are corrupt arsehats). These were not just mere ‘oversights’ or basic human errors. It’s dereliction of duty and a failure to protect at a criminal level. Money will not bring those people back, but it has a strange way of enacting change - both in terms of practice and regulations, as well as in personnel. It was gross incompetence at its worst the first time… to not knock down every peg to prevent a repeat of the injustice is shamefully abhorrent.

[@EffSharp]

That is in fact not true. The police did everything they could, including getting Lori a psych eval. She was able to fool the evaluator The failure occurred after his, when they bought the self defense claim way too quickly.

[@Knucklehead123]

@@RoxyAndHerDude Agree with you that out society is overly litigious - however - and sadly - until a crime is committed - police cannot do much except be aware and keep an eye on things. Am not sure which phase of this debacle you are responding to - so this comment may not be germane. True police investigation is not as cut and dried as it is in crime dramas and sometimes a single hair found years later can make all the difference (see An American Nightmare - where the police blamed the victims - a kidnapped woman and her boyfriend - until a smarter police woman WOULD NOT GIVE UP researching a single blond hair found at a crime scene - not related to the current crime - but to a crime done previously by the kidnapper rapist. In that case the police coughed up $2.5 million to the victims for their poor efforts and negligence.)

I believe Lori will stay in a delusional state for the rest of her life behind bars. Lori is too narcissistic to ever admit fault!

[@naomitims4521]

I agree

[@S.Blonde]

That is because she has evaded prison so far. She was sentenced to prison in Idaho yet she gets to be in a modern jail in Arizona awaiting this trial. They should let her do her prison time in Idaho since DP is not on the table for her case in Arizona and put the Arizona charges on hold just in case she files an appeal again. Prison will hopefully wake her up to what she has done so she can start experiencing some regret and remorse

[@Psychiatricnerd]

She will be. Delusions are very difficult to break and religious delusions are by and large the most difficult. They need to move on from that and get the ball rolling.

She isn't insane, but she is pretty crazy. Grandiosity is the weirdest mental illness I ever dealt with. I had clients that were convinced they owned the world. Were Jesus. Wrote every hit song in history. They could talk on a normal basis but then the grandiosity kicked in and it was off to the races that they owned, won, and were trillionaires from and would I please call the bank to release their money? She is all that with the dangerousness and willingness to kill. I did work with murderers, but they were inpatient usually and if they were in shelter homes it was because medication was effective.

[@lstewart91267]

@@dawnhasbroken6304 ​​⁠I agree with you. Grandiosity is very complex especially since it really is a symptom of various mental health conditions. I live in Idaho Falls, Idaho, so this case has been one I have followed very closely due to the impact it had on our community, and surrounding communities. I also had the very unfortunate experience of dealing with someone with Narcissistic. Personality Disorder. While I am in no way a doctor I truly believe she has all the signs of Grandiose Narcissism, which is a sub category of NPD. By its definition, she fits every trait, however people with GNPD do know right from wrong, but just justify their behavior based off their own internal beliefs. Which in itself makes them incredibly dangerous to anyone around them. Charles Manson was diagnosed with both NPD and ASPD and we all know the pure evil acts he was a part of. He also never directly committed any of the heinous murders, but instead, like Lori, got other people to commit them for her, so in her mind she wasn't responsible for them. She and Chad were a horrific storm of Grandiose Narcissism and Vulnerable Narcissism, which left a trail of death all around them.
