A jury from Arizona has reached a verdict in the last trial of Lori Daybell, the mother condemned for killing two of her children in a so -called Final Judgment Day that is now accused of conspiring with her brother to kill her fourth husband.
The jury received the case Monday afternoon before reaching a verdict on Tuesday afternoon.
The verdict is expected to be read in 30 minutes.

Lori Daybell, 51, represented herself at the Phoenix trial. She did not take the position or call any witness.
Nicknamed the “Mom of the Doomsday”, Lori Daybell has argued that her brother shot her then 13 -year -old husband, Charles Vallow, in self -defense at her home in Chandler, Arizona, in July 2019. Her brother, Alex Cox, died for natural causes months after the shooting.
Meanwhile, prosecutors said the shooting was a ploy so that Daybell would get rid of her separate husband to get her life insurance policy of $ 1 million and be with her current husband, Chad Daybell, with whom she married four months after the shooting. The prosecutors also said that he invoked his religious beliefs as justification for the murder and gave his brother “religious authority” to kill Vallow because they believed he was possessed by an evil spirit they referred to as “NED.”
Lori Daybell declared himself innocent of conspiracy to commit a first degree murder.

Both Lori and Chad Daybell were declared guilty of first degree murder for the death of their children, Joshua “JJ” Vallew, 7 years old, and Tylee Ryan, 16, who disappeared months after Charles Vallow was killed. In separated trials in 2023 and 2024, prosecutors argued that the couple thought that the children were zombies and killed them so that they could be together. The remains of the children were found in a Idaho property belonging to Daybell in June 2020 after a search for months.
Lori Daybell is currently fulfilling life imprisonment without probation for the murders of their two children. She has denied killing them.
Chad Daybell was sentenced to death after being convicted of killing the two children, as well as his first wife, Tamara Daybell, and now he expects the execution in the Idaho death corridor.
