Lori Vallow Daybell trial opens for ex-husband's murder conspiracy

Lori Vallow Daybell, known as the 'Doomsday Mom,' has begun her trial in Maricopa County, Arizona, facing a charge of conspiracy to commit murder in the death of her fourth husband, Charles Vallow. Jury selection commenced on Monday, with Daybell representing herself and pleading not guilty to the charge. She is already serving a life sentence in Idaho for the murders of her two children, J.J. Vallow and Tylee Ryan, and has been implicated in other alleged conspiracies, including the death of her fifth husband's previous wife. The trial is expected to last up to six weeks, and the high-profile nature of the case has led to special considerations for juror anonymity. Daybell's brother, Alex Cox, fatally shot Charles Vallow during an argument, claiming self-defense, but Lori has been indicted for her alleged role in planning the murder. The courtroom proceedings are being closely monitored, reflecting the significant public interest in this case.
