Hey everybody. Welcome back to Drop Dead Serious. I'm Ashley Bannfield. We are now three days into

Lori Vallow's Arizona trial for the murder of her fourth husband, Charles Vallow. And this courtroom,

it is on fire. Today, Lori showed us once again that she is not

just the defendant in this trial. She is the star. She is the lawyer. And sometimes she is the

loudest voice in the room. Who knew that things would get so crazy on day three? Day three is when I'm used to hearing from like AT&T cell phone experts or like super boring DNA specialists.

And it's really hard to stay alert during some of that kind of dry testimony.

But today, today was not that.

Today things got juicy, like grapefruit juice. Like I'm talking bitter,

party of one. They say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. And Lori was that woman today.

That scorned woman. Acting as her own lawyer, she had to cross-examine a woman who went on a secret date with her husband,

you know, the husband that she's accused of killing. So imagine for a moment the like cat fight

vibe that erupted when things got personal with that witness. The judge had to actually save Lori

from herself. And the rest of the day was action-packed, too, from like fiery cross-examinations

and heated back and forth to a witness who says that she overheard some pretty incriminating

things. Like Lori saying, she drugged her husband, Charles. And her brother

Alex saying, he wanted to kill Charles. We're now knee-deep in the strange, the spiritual,

and the downright chilling. So let's get into it. Lori came out swinging today,

resuming her cross-examination of retired Chandler police detective Daniel Coons. She challenged his findings on everything, from gunshot trajectory to bullet fragment locations. And that's important because the state says that the forensics show that Charles was shot twice,

once while he was standing and once while he was on the floor.

And if you shoot somebody who's already lying on the floor, that does not amount to self-defense

anymore.

That's murder.
