NOW: Hundreds gathering at #MarchForOurLives rally at the Arizona State Capitol. These rallies are happening across the country today to push for gun reform after recent deadly mass shootings in Uvalde to Buffalo. #fox10phoenix
Sam Crowell came from Chandler. She’s wearing Converse sneakers w/ a heart on them in honor of Maite Rodriguez. The 10yo victim in the Uvalde shooting wore similar shoes which reportedly helped identify her because she was mutilated so badly. #fox10phoenix#MarchForOurLives
An armed group arrives at the #MarchForOurLives rally. Probably at least seven people in tactical gear with rifles.
Hoffman: “I’m a mom and today I am angry… I am sick of being the whole country where guns outnumber the number of people.”
Hoffman: “As a mom and as an educator, I want our lawmakers to act now.”
.@JenLongdon - a gun violence survivor spoke at the rally and with us about the slow changes she sees happening. She was left paralyzed after a drive-by shooting in 2004. #MarchForOurLives

VALLOW DAYBELL: A motion to dismiss case for lack of speedy trial was filed by the ‘Doomsday Mom’, making some bold statements. I’ll break down the motion seen below. LVD says speedy trial should happen within 150 days of arraignment which was 12/7/23. 🧵
She is charged with conspiracy to commit murder in the death of former husband Charles Vallow, and attempted murder of ex nephew in law Brandon Boudreaux. Complex case mad it 270 days to hit speedy trial, previously scheduled for 8/1/24.
LVD cites former defense filing motion for trial continuance which she didn’t want. Then the Rule 11 motion that was granted to evaluated her mental competency, setting the current trial date of 3/31/25. “It has now been 314 days since the defendant was arraigned,” motion states.
Lori’s attorneys have just arrived. Commissioner Marderosian is here on the bench as well. I’ve reached out to MCSO to see if Lori refused transport today.
We have one prosecutor representing the State at the moment. Should be starting up soon.
On Election Day, Judge Beresky set a last minute hearing for Lori Vallow with her new defense, this filing came in this morning. We didn’t have time for a camera request but I’ll be there in the courtroom to see what’s next w/ her Arizona murder conspiracy cases ahead of Rule 11.
Thanks to @cathyrusson for putting this on my radar!
I’m told Vallow did not refuse MCSO transport. She will be here. Her new counsel is seated and waiting in the courtroom.
