Lori Vallow Daybell murdered her children. A jury confirmed it. And now she wants the Idaho Supreme Court to give her a do-over.

Her appellate attorney filed five constitutional claims — her chosen attorney was improperly removed, she was denied counsel during a critical hearing, the court acted while she was incompetent, Arizona evidence prejudiced the jury, and her speedy trial rights were violated. The state fired back with a fifty-nine-page rebuttal that leaves nothing standing. Her lawyer had a real conflict — he simultaneously represented her co-conspirator husband, who paid for the representation. Her competency stays consumed 353 days. She requested the venue change that added months. And the Arizona evidence the defense calls prejudicial? Three separate juries have now confirmed it was accurate.

But the most damning evidence against this appeal didn't come from any brief. It came from Arizona. Lori represented herself in two conspiracy trials and lost both. She compared conspiracy to Judas in her opening statement and was told she was arguing, not presenting. She confronted the judge and was removed from the courtroom. She presented no evidence, called no witnesses, and maintained her innocence through sentencing — where the judge told her she'd shown blatant disregard for humanity and should never be released.

The appeal follows the same pattern as the crimes. Every choice reframed as someone else's failure. Every consequence treated as persecution. At her Idaho sentencing, she said Jesus Christ knows no one was murdered in this case. At her Arizona sentencing, she said if she were accountable, she'd acknowledge it. Seven life sentences later, the performance continues. The justices will see through it.
