   Inside Lori Vallow Daybell's Doomed Supreme Court Appeal

   The appeal is fully briefed. The Idaho Supreme Court has the case. And every single argument Lori Vallow Daybell's team has raised collapses under the facts. Her appellate attorney Craig Durham filed five constitutional claims — removal of her chosen attorney Mark Means, denial of counsel during a disqualification hearing, due process violations during her incompetency, improper admission of Arizona 404(b) evidence, and speedy trial violations. Deputy Attorney General Jeff Nye responded with fifty-nine pages that dismantle each claim methodically. Means had a documented conflict — he represented both Lori and Chad, who paid for the representation and claimed Means as his attorney in a recorded jail call. The competency evaluations consumed 353 days. The venue change she requested required massive logistical coordination. And the Arizona evidence the defense calls prejudicial has now been validated by three separate guilty verdicts. What makes this appeal impossible to take seriously goes beyond the briefing. While the Idaho appeal was pending, Lori went to Arizona and represented herself in two conspiracy trials. She was convicted of conspiring to kill Charles Vallow and conspiring to kill Brandon Boudreaux. She compared conspiracy to Judas in her opening. She was escorted out of her own courtroom. She called no witnesses and presented no evidence in either trial. The Boudreaux jury deliberated for thirty minutes. Judge Beresky told her at sentencing that her manipulation was unparalleled and that she would fade into obscurity. She now has seven life sentences across two states. She told the Idaho court that Jesus Christ knows no one was murdered. She told the Arizona court that if she were accountable, she'd say so. The appeal is the same pattern — every choice reframed as persecution, every consequence as injustice. The justices have everything they need.

How Lori Vallow Thinks She’s Getting Out of Prison

Published 18 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] Lawyer's appellate lawyer, lawyer Craig Durham, argued that conflict was overblown. He pointed out that means work for Chad was brief, both signed waivers, and no one ever proved specific conditional error. Confidential info was leaked to her Lori's case. Durham's argument is straightforward. Stripping her chosen lawyer away was a direct constitutional violation. And the state can't just hand wave it away by saying her next defense team did a great job. The state's counter counter argument, though. Kind of hits like a freight train. Prosecutors point out that Means publicly claimed to represent Chad. […]
