Summary
In less than seven hours of deliberations, twelve Idaho jurors found Lori Vallow guilty of killing her two children and her current husband’s then-wife,
The most shocking event in court this week is the fact that the defense did not put on a defense. After the prosecutor ended its case, defense attorneys told the judge that Vallow's team did not believe the state proved its case, so they did not have a reason to present a case.
A date for sentencing has not yet been set, however Vallow could get life in prison.
