As the legal saga surrounding Lori Vallow Daybell continues, a recent pretrial statement has been filed by the state of Arizona in anticipation of the forthcoming pretrial hearing. Daybell, already serving a life sentence for the death of her children and the murder of her husband Chad Daybell's first wife, faces new accusations of first-degree murder conspiracy in the case of Brandon Boudreaux, as reported by FOX 10 Phoenix . Prosecutor Treena Kay plans to present a list of 22 potential witnesses, including seven from the Gilbert Police, in the effort to establish Daybell's involvement in the 2019 Gilbert shooting orchestrated by her late brother, Alex Cox.

Daybell, dubbed the "Doomsday Mom," has chosen to personally represent herself in court. The prosecution alleges she influenced Cox to travel from Rexburg, Idaho, to Gilbert, Arizona, to carry out the shooting. Boudreaux, who is Vallow Daybell's ex-nephew-in-law, is set to directly face her when he takes the stand. Jury selection is scheduled to begin, with opening statements expected on June 2. However, the state has noted conflicts with witness availability within the first week of the trial, which is anticipated by Kay to last four to five days.

In the midst of these legal proceedings, Daybell has moved to seek a new trial, questioning the integrity of her first Arizona trial's outcome. She has alleged instances of juror misconduct, prosecutorial misconduct, and questioned the impartiality of the court—assertions that include claims of a juror being aware of her prior convictions. Yet, these claims are decisively challenged by the prosecution.

The Maricopa County prosecutor, Treena Kay, has promptly requested the court to deny Vallow Daybell's motion for a reconstruction of the trial. "There was no juror misconduct, no prosecutorial misconduct, no improper exclusion of hearsay testimony and no lack of impartiality by the Court," stated the filing, acquired by KTVB . Key to the prosecution's argument is that Juror Fifteen, post-verdict, maintained ignorance of Daybell's prior homicide convictions, an assertion confirmed in interviews conducted by other journalists outside the courthouse. The court has yet to render a decision on Daybell's request for a new trial or the response filed by the prosecutor.
