Jury Selection Continues in Trial of Cult Mom Lori Vallow Daybell Date
Daybell faces the same charges, but Judge Steven Boyce severed their cases, and no date has been set for him. Daybell waived his right to a speedy trial, but Vallow Daybell — who has twice been deemed incompetent to stand trial and sent for treatment — has not.
Tuesday was the second day of jury selection, and more will be questioned on Wednesday.
Potential jurors face questions about what they know about the case, where they learned their information, and any opinions they have formed, KUTV reported.
Vallow Daybell has been in court both days, sitting between her attorneys at the defense table. Boyce previously barred cameras from the courtroom, so the time-honored tradition of using a courtroom sketch artist is in full play.
For jury selection, only potential jurors, the attorneys, and Vallow Daybell herself are allowed in the courtroom. Media and other observers are allowed to listen to the proceedings from an overflow room.
