Lori Vallow verdict updates: Cult mom found guilty of murders of her children and Chad Daybell s wife Tammy | The Independent

Doomsday cult mom Lori Vallow has been found guilty of the first-degree murder of her two children and conspiracy to murder her husband Chad Daybell s late wife.

Closing arguments concluded in Ada County Courthouse, Boise, Idaho, and the jury of seven men and five women began deliberations on Thursday afternoon. The jury reached a verdict at around 11.45am on Friday after nearly seven hours.

While the judge banned cameras from the courtroom, the hotly-anticipated verdict was live-streamed and Vallow appeared emotionless.

Vallow, 49, was found guilty of first-degree murder, conspiracy, and grand theft over the deaths of her daughter Tylee Ryan, 16, son Joshua JJ Vallow, 7, and Tammy Daybell, 49.
