Summary
Prosecutors allege that Lori Daybell and her deceased brother Alex Cox planned to kill Brandon Boudreaux in October 2019. Investigators believe Cox shot at Boudreaux outside his Gilbert, Arizona home, shattering his car window while he was driving, though Boudreaux escaped uninjured.
At the time of the shooting, Boudreaux was recently separated from Lori's niece, Melani Pawlowski. According to police reports, Lori and her fifth husband Chad Daybell, along with Cox, told Pawlowski that Boudreaux had a "dark" soul when they allegedly began plotting his murder.
This trial comes after Lori was convicted in Arizona in April 2025 for conspiring to kill her estranged husband Charles Vallow adding to her existing life sentences from Idaho for murdering her two children and conspiring to kill Chad Daybell's first wife.
After jury selection delays this week - including Lori being wheeled into court in a wheelchair claiming illness - Judge Justin Beresky ordered her presence, stating there was no medical reason preventing her from attending court. Sixteen jurors were seated Wednesday afternoon, with twelve set to deliberate and four serving as alternates.
As the courtroom drama unfolds, we examine what prosecutors must prove in this final conspiracy case and whether justice will finally be served for all victims of the Daybell doomsday plot.

| 0:00.0 | This is continuing coverage of the case against Lori Vallow Daybell from the Hidden Killers podcast and True Crime Today. |
| 0:09.5 | Lori's last stand, here we are. |
| 0:13.0 | Immediately, magically, maybe it was the power of Zeno or what were the other ones that she, I mean, Zeno is Scientology, but what was the other |
| 0:22.9 | ones she was claiming to have? |
| 0:24.5 | Was it, um, I want, the first thing I popped in my head was Loki, but I think I, I just |
| 0:29.8 | watched like some Marvel stuff. |
| 0:31.4 | It's not lucky. |
| 0:32.4 | It's some other. |

| 0:35.7 | Some other magical one that, you know. |

| 0:50.0 | So, opening statements today. |
| 0:52.3 | The judge called her bluff on the wheelchair and, oh, I'm too ill. And she was laying her head literally on the desk yesterday in open court when the jury selection was going on. And today she showed up all bright and cheery and ready to go. Before we see Lori, though, we're going to see the opening statements from the |
| 1:11.6 | prosecution as we dive into Lori Valo-Dabell's trial number three. This is the trial of the |
| 1:18.9 | attempted murder of Brandon Boudreau. It's one of the lesser of charges against her, |
| 1:24.5 | but still a pretty big charge, attempting to murder someone. |
| 1:29.8 | Mm-hmm. |
| 1:30.7 | And this, for whatever reason, seems to be the trial that Lori is trying to get out of most |
