0:00.0	Hey y'all. So we talked about this a little bit, and I just wanted to give you a heads up that I'm
0:07.5	finally doing it. Today's episode is actually going to be audio from a video I made on the
0:14.6	Lori Vallow closing arguments in her case. If you are not familiar with that case, let me give you just a very brief
0:23.5	rundown. Lori Vallaud-Daybell is now serving three life sentences for murdering her children,
0:29.8	JJ, and Tiley, and also conspiring to kill her husband, her fifth husband, Chad Daybell's
0:36.5	former wife. She's also deceased.
0:40.0	She just finished up her next trial in Arizona for conspiring to kill her fourth husband,
0:48.4	Charles Vallow. Spoiler alert, she was found guilty. But this is the closing arguments from that trial.
0:56.9	I go over kind of the highlights of her closing. Well, I think I end up playing her whole
1:02.5	closing argument and kind of discuss it and some other things that came up in the trial.
1:08.1	And then the prosecutor's rebuttal to that. Again, she ended up
1:12.3	being found guilty. I think we all knew she would. If you're familiar with this case, you knew that
1:15.9	was coming. She represented herself in this. So that was one reason I was pretty interested in it,
1:20.1	just to see how she managed that for herself. And she does have one more trial in Arizona for the
1:26.1	attempted murder of her niece's estranged
1:28.7	husband at the time, Brandon Boudreau. She is representing herself in that one as well. So we'll do
1:35.5	some more trial coverage there. And I've also started doing trial coverage on the Karen Reed
1:41.6	retrial. That is also over on the YouTube. So if you're not following us on
1:45.0	YouTube, you're missing out on some fun episodes over there. Nikita and I do some things over
1:49.9	there, and I'm starting to do some more trial coverage and breakdown. So I wanted to give you
1:54.8	guys the audio of it, just so you could hear it here and just know what we have going on over on
2:00.1	the YouTube. If you listen here,
