Lori Vallow Daybell, an Idaho woman found guilty of murdering her two kids and conspiring to murder her husband’s first wife, has appealed her conviction, according to court documents.
The notice of appeal was filed on August 31 by her attorney. The attorney cites Daybell’s multiple issues with her conviction. The appeal raised concerns about her mental competency, an opening statement made by prosecutors to the jury and her right to a speedy trial.
Daybell was found guilty of murdering her two children, Joshua Vallow, 7, and Tylee Ryan, 16. The proceeding took seven weeks, with dozens of witnesses testifying during the trial. The 50-year-old mother was ultimately convicted on two counts of murder, three counts of conspiracy to commit murder, and one count of grand theft.

I understand the impulse to give in to cynicism and despair. I also don’t think it serves anyone to ignore the facts. It’s true that gun violence has reached epidemic proportions. In 2021, nearly 50,000 Americans died from gun violence, and tens of thousands more were injured...
