‘Doomsday Mom’ Lori Vallow Appeals Murder Conviction
Archibald listed 16 issues that include questions surrounding decisions about Vallow’s competency, whether the court’s decisions violated her right to a speedy trial, several inquiries about the technical details of the conspiracy charges and alleged conspirators, and whether the sentencing court properly reviewed evidence and if it abused its discretion in handing down the three life sentences without parole.
In the filing, Archibald also asked for a number of transcripts from the trial, including some that were sealed, officials said.
In May 2023, a jury found Vallow guilty after her weeks-long trial in Boise came to a close, as Front Page Detectives previously reported.
Vallow, who did not take the stand in her own defense, was accused of killing two of her children, 16-year-old Tylee Ryan and 7-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow, who were last seen in September 2019, as Front Page Detectives previously reported.
