Morning Thread: Closings - Lori Vallow Trial

#lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Can't believe we are here. Lori is chatting with Mr Archibald and Mr Thomas. She looks a little more serious #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Judge Boyce is on the bench. Judge Boyce addressing the judgment of acquittal #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork The Judge goes through the indictment and cites evidence presented to support the charges.
#lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Motion DENIED. The case goes to the jury after closings and jury instruction #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork The jury is in. Lori watched closely as they walked in and took their seats. The jurors have been handed a packet of jury instructions.

Judge Boyce will read the jury instructions and then closings will begin #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork As the instructions are being read Lori is following along with her packet and occasionally looking up at the jurors. #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Lori has kept her head down for the most part. She hasn't reacted to the charges being read - no reaction to the names of her children or when the Judge says they were murdered. #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork We are finishing up on jury instructions. There will be one verdict form for them to fill out. #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork We are moving on to closings. Rob Wood will present for the state. Brief sidebar #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Here we go #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Brief recess #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Filing back into the courtroom. Everyone is told to make sure cell phones are silenced. Lori is at the defense table. She seems a little nervous at times to me but mostly typical court room Lori. #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork It's time for closings. Rob Wood is up for the state. He looks solid as a rock. It all comes down to this and they've done an amazing job. The tension is high in here. You can feel it. #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Rob Wood: Money power and sex. 2018 Chad and Lori set off a series of events that ended in 3 deaths. They recruited Lori's brother. Part of a larger plan to be together unencumbered.

#lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork This must end today. Tylee Ryan - Lori's 16-year-old vibrant daughter - a whole life ahead of her. She was murdered. Lori was responsible for her health and safety. Lori, Chad and Alex conspired to kill her #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Her body burned and dismembered in such a grotesque manner the ME couldn't determine a cause of death. What was left of her they dumped in a green bucket and buried in a pet cemetery on top of a piece of her skull. Tylee was gone but Lori kept collecting her money #lorivallow… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

@LawCrimeNetwork Lori never reported Tylee was missing or dead. She lied to multiple people about Tylee's location, including the police. She had to keep her body hidden to collect the money #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork 9/22 - JJ's voice was silenced forever with a strip of duct tape placed across his mouth. He was duct taped form his forehead and neck. He struggled and we don't know how long he fought until they restrained his hands and ankles. They put a bag on his head. He died. #lorivallow… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

@LawCrimeNetwork Brutal, horrific murder of a 7-year-old boy with special needs. He was buried in Chad's backyard. Like Tylee JJ was the recipient of social security benefits. Like Tylee Lori never reported him missing or dead. She had to keep receiving the money #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork She lied about his whereabouts and asked Melanie Gibb to lie about his location. #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Oct 18-19 2019 Tammy Daybell, a loving, active, healthy 49-year-old mom of 5 and librarian was murdered in her own home. She was asphyxiated in her own home. The evidence is clear Lori Chad and Alex conspired to kill Tamm
y #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork She was shot at 10 days before. Lori was conveniently gone for the attempted murder and the successful murder and those trips weren't a coincidence. There was money to be gained from Tammy's death $430k #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork 2 weeks later Lori married Chad on a beach in Hawaii. #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork In the words of her sister - Dancing on a beach in Hawaii. Living off the money that came from each of their deaths. The timeline tells the truth and she will be convicted on the timeline she created. #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork July 11, 2019 - Alex shoots Lori's husband Charles
Sept 8-9 - Tylee is killed
Sept 22- 23 - JJ is killed
Oct 19 - Tammy is killed
This is no coincidence. And Lori is the common thread and ties these all together #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Timeline graphic on the screen. Rexburg got a call about JJ and Tylee in November. Their bodies were found on June 9, 2020. Tammy's body exhumed Dec 11, Alex dies Dec 12. #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Idaho Law:
Reasonable doubt "Reason and common sense"
Overt Act - 1 conspirator does one to further the conspiracy.
#lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Conspiracy - ask yourself
Who murdered them?
Did Lori conspire to murder and grand theft
Did Lori advise or counsel the murder?
Did Lori encourage the murders?
You only need to find ONE overt act #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Tylee - there's a conspiracy (crime of agreement) and the actual murder. Who killed Tylee and did Lori aide, abet, advise, or counsel that murder? #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork He talks about jury selection - you were asked if someone aided and abetted could you find them guilty? If you find she did you must find her guilty. Same questions for JJ. Did she agree for him to be killed? Did 1 overt act happen in furtherance of an agreement? #lorivallow… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

@LawCrimeNetwork Tammy - did Lori agree to it. Was there an overt act #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Grand theft - she deprived the USA of money that belonged to them and not her. Did she intend to keep the money? #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork The state has proven these elements beyond a reasonable doubt. " It's not an imaginary doubt. It's based on reason and common sense" Use your reason and common sense. #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Malice can be expressed (verbal or implied) You will find expressed and implied in this case. There's an abundance of malice. Aide and Abetting - just as guilty as anyone else involved in the crime #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Aiding and abetting is just as guilty as pulling the trigger. You need to find just 1 overt act for the purpose of carrying out the agreement. Over acts done if furtherance of the conspiracy makes it part of the crime #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Overt acts
Tylee, JJ, Tammy - Enspoused religious beliefs for justifying murder.
Move to D - Couldn't kill the kids in AZ. Moving was the catalyst for the murders
Tylee- Aug 16, 2019 - changed bank info. #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Tylee - Chad googles SSW Wind. Lori refused to contact social security to let them know of Tylee's death and collected those benefits.
9/23 - Alex took JJ
Nov 26 - Lori provided false info to law enforcement about the location of JJ and Tylee.
#lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Texts between Chad and Lori about death percentages for Tammy and JJ
- Burner phones bought to further the conspiracy
- Texts about Tammy being in limbo. Chad co-signed the life insurance he would collect.
10/9 - Alex Cox tried to shoot Tammy and the next day googled in… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

@LawCrimeNetwork These are all overt acts - steps taken to get to murder #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Digital evidence:
HomerJMaximus - google searches for Brandon's address, Grendel drop, Prep AR for cold, 2008 Dodge steel body thickness
#lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Rob Wood is facing the jury. Lori is writing and looking up at times #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Overt Acts- Chad:
9/8 - searches SSW wind because the next day he would be burning Tylee in his fire pit.
Lori 8/25/2019 - searching for wedding bands made of malachite. Tammy is alive.
9/30/19 - How to take backseat out of Jeep Wrangler. #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork The day Tammy is being buried she is looking for wedding dresses in Kauai. #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork 9/9/19 11:53 AM - he reads the text from Chad to Tammy I felt I should burn all the limb debris by the fire pit. I spotted a big raccoon. I grabbed by gun. One shot did the trick. He is now in our pet cemetery. Chad told us he burnt HER limbs #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork You saw satellite footage of disturbances in the ground in the pet cemetery the day after Tylee is last seen alive. She turned up in that pet cemetery. #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Lori's iCloud:
- Affair (James & Elena story)
- Future without obstacles (JJ, Tylee, Charles, Tammy)
- Lori is the conduit to info for Alex.
- The need for money. Colby said every 2-3 months Lori would say she was out of money. #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork 9/9/19 - Alex went to Lori's apartment from 2:42 AM to 3:47 AM . That morning she is buried in Chad' backyard. 8:11 AM 3 min call between Chad and Alex. 8:49 Alex is moving and 9:15 just south of Chad's house #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork 9:21- 10:57 - they show Alex's GPS hits at the gate and fire pit. Same time frame as the text to Tammy. #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork 11:47 Alex is just north of Chad's house. They burnt and dismembered Tylee and buried her. #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork The same day - phone calls.Chad calls Lori at 11:45 as Alex is leaving.
9/23 - Lori tells Melanie G JJ is a zombie. An overt act.
David inquires where JJ is. Lori says he was climbing the refrigerator and Alex took him. An overt act.
#lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork 38 second call from Chad to Alex that next morning at 9:25.
9:45 Alex is again on his way to Chad's house with JJ in tow.
They show Alex's pings near JJ's burial site #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Alex shows up at 9:55 and leaves at 10:12 - 17 min. That grave was not dug in 17 min. It was too precise. This was planned - premeditated murder. She handed her boy off to Alex. #lorivallow @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Digital evidence 10/9 - attempt on Tammy
12:00-1:23 PM - Alex is at Lori's
You know what he bought at Sportsman Warehouse. You know what he bought. Then he goes by Chad's residence - follow his phone as he scopes out the property #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork They show the visual of the contacts that day. 15 texts between Alex and Chad. What ties them? Lori Vallow #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Zulema says she heard Lori say "He can't do anything right" - Alex failed to kill Tammy. #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork 10/19 - Tammy's murder
Alex's phone at Salem church 2.6 miles away from Daybell's residence.
10 texts Alex and Chad 10:23=10:54
11:53 - Alex calls Lori. She is in Hawaii. #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Crime scene:
Chad's residence. The overhead of the crime scenes highlighted. Upon discovering the raccoon texts and Alex's phone we serve a search warrant at his house. #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork You heard the phone call between Lori and Chad. You can hear the fear in their voices. They know what is about to happen. #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Closeup of fire put and excavation being shown. They found pieces of Tylee in the firepit. They found her necklace in the fire pit and the charm 30 ft from the firepit. #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Going through photos showing Tylee's remains #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Wood - this is what was left - charred bones and dismembered. The next day they found the green bucket. They found Tylee. #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork They found pieces of her in the shed. Pickaxe shown. The eye of the pickaxe looked different and tested for DNA and it was Tylee. #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Shovel photos: On the kickplate was organic material and the DNA matched Tylee #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Blood on the handle matched Tylee #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork JJ Vallow:
Meticulous placed rocks and boards. You heard about the smell. They began to see a human head. Look at this grave - roots cut. Just the right size for JJ. This was done in advance. #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Lori is shaking her head no when Wood says Lori handed JJ to Alex Cox. #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Daybell Crime Scene -
Tylee - puncture wounds in the pelvis
JJ- Gagged and bound
Tammy - no evidence of anything other than murder.
- Bruises consistent with restraint
Homicide by Asphuxiation #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Those marks are consistent with a stabbing on Tylee's pelvis. JJ's body shown wrapped and bound. Lord have mercy. It just hits hard, y'all. #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Tammy's body on the screen - she was healthy. She had bruises on her arms - as JJ did. #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork Consistent with restraint.

@LawCrimeNetwork This isn't about religion. It's about money, power, and sex. She learned from Charles get the money before you commit the murder. #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork They show texts between Lori and Chad when she knows she isn't the beneficiary and within a week she is talking about the social security she would get. Tylee got SS from her dad's death #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Lori changes the deposit. Tylee was receiving her own money. She paid for her Jeep, lived like a normal teen. Lori takes that money. She learned the lesson. She gets the next check after Tylee died. #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork JJ gets social security after Charles is killed and Lori gets money as a caregiver. #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Let's talk about grand theft. What do you need to find to find her guilty? She used deceit or took money didn't belong to her. She had no right to any of this money. $1000 is grand theft. Lori collected $7,835 #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Benefit of murder
- Thought she was getting $1m from Charles
- Tylee and JJ's social security
- Chad got $430k
- Lori said Melani P would take care of us. Brandon was shot at. Money is the motive #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Religion
it doesn't matter what they believed. It matters what. they did. When they use that to justify homicde that changes it. They uses religion to manipulate Alex and with Chad - manipulated with sexual control, #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Texts where Lori tells Alex early on she's learned amazing things about him. Alex is eager.
Text 9/3 when Alex needs to go sight in his rifles. Lori says you do. Lori always told him what to do - not him to her. Zulema says he believed all of it. Why? Lori justifying murder… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

@LawCrimeNetwork The only reason it matters is religion was a manipulation tool against all in the group. Who is the common thread here? Lori Vallow #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Sex - texts brought up - Chad wants to kiss her for hours. Leads to nakedness,. Lori says as long as it ends with you it's all good. Lori uses sex to manipulate Chad. Chad seeks confirmation from her many times #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Lori and Chad are driving this together - their plan is to get rid of the obstacles and be together forever. #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Lori doesn't say maybe we shouldn't kill my kids. She says to find the death percentage for my kids. JJ needs to follow Amy into the light. He's talking about JJ's death and assures JJ "James" would be there to take care of his mommy. #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Lori doesn't say don't kill my kid. She says, "Sweet" #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork 7/23 - check JJ. Check Tylee she's being sweet. They're using religion to justify murder. This isn't fantasy. They were found dead in real life in Chad's backyard. #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork 7/30 - Chad - Tammy is very close - they're talking about murdering Tammy
Lori asks Chad - WHat is the percentage now? What about JJ's too?
She's planning for JJ to go the same way as Charles - to be murdered. #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Lori says 2-3% NOT zero? - then she texts sexual things. #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Chad- this afternoon Tammy said she felt lightheaded and her body and spirit weren't connected.
8/10 - Lori - please check JJ. Is he at 0 yet? Chad says yes. 6 weeks later JJ would be dead

#lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork 8/10 - Lori - do you think there's a perfectly orchestrated plan to take the children. I feel lost like I should be doing something to help. Chad says there's a plan. Lori didn't say let's not kill my kids she asks what can I do to help. #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Think about JJ was talked about by Lori - she said he was difficult.
Lori says she can't wait - no patience - I want you now. She's using sex to reinforce #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork 8/11 - Chad says we are surrounded by telestial relatives that are simply obstacles. I am so sick of it #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork WiFi password - 2 ManyKids. Lori said, "funny". Her children are dead. Lori says we are trying to get to the bottom of what we need to do to eliminate them completely #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork 10/5 - Chad says Tammy has been switched and he asks Lori to seek confirmation on this. He isn't going to act without Lori's confirmation #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork The day of Tammy's murder Lori texts - not fun without you. The next day - I miss you more. I can't wait.
The same day - texts about the Lily workout plan #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork 10/20 - not soon enough. This is torture. She is moving this along herself. #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Pic of Tammy, Tylee, and JJ on screen. He is finishing up now. #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Lori is looking at the photos of them on the big screen #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Who had a motive? Lori and Alex. Lori is the common thread between Chad and Alex. Lori benefits financially and they get Tammy's insurance money #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Wood talks about reason and common sense. She lied, and never reported them missing. And while she lied she collected JJ and Tylee's money. She moved to Rexburg to move the plan forward. #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Who is the common thread? Lori Vallow. What is justice for these victims? To be found guilty. She conspired, aided and abetted these murders. #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Look at the timeline. You must convict her #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork State is finished. #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Defense is up AFTER a recess. #lorivallow
@LawCrimeNetwork

@UnrollHelper unroll please
