Lori Vallow Daybell receives two life sentences in Arizona
PHOENIX (NBC, KYMA/KECY) - Another sentencing day for the so-called "Doomsday Mom," this time in Arizona, and another life sentence handed down.
Lori Vallow Daybell is already serving life sentences in Idaho for the deaths of her two youngest children and a romantic rival.
The Phoenix judge sentenced Vallow Daybell to a second life sentence, with parole after 25 years, for conspiracy to commit murder in Arizona, but the no-parole sentence in Idaho means she will never be released.
Vallow Daybell represented herself in the trial and said she had nothing to do with any of the murders.
She says she shot her husband in self defense. Remains of her two missing children were found in her new husband's back yard.
Several family members spoke in court before the sentencing, including Vallow Daybell's eldest son via audio link, and the grandparents of one of the young victims, via video link.
"You will miss out on wearing nice clothes, driving your Range Rover, thick juicy steaks, barbecues, and no more quiet. Only rules," said Kay Woodcock, grandparent of the victim.
"You are nothing. You are nothing. You killed Kylie. Did you enjoy it? Look at me Lori! Did you enjoy it??" said Larry Woodcock, another grandparent of the victim.
"I know I'm here to tell you the effect that this has had on me. In simple terms, each one of my family members was taken from me in one swoop. My father was gone in an instant and later my sister and my brother disappeared until they were later found in Lori Vallow's new husband's backyard," said Colby Ryan, Vallow Daybell's eldest son.
