An Idaho mother convicted of the gruesome killings of her two youngest children and her husband’s former wife was sentenced Monday to life in prison without the possibility of parole, the maximum sentence possible.
Lori Vallow Daybell was sentenced more than three years after the bodies of her son, Joshua “JJ” Vallow, 7, and daughter Tylee Ryan, 16, were discovered by authorities in her husband’s backyard in rural eastern Idaho.
She was sentenced to the maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole for the two first-degree murder charges of JJ and Tylee and conspiracy to commit murder of her husband’s former wife, Tammy Daybell. The three sentences are to be served consecutively because Vallow Daybell “needs to be held accountable separately for each of the three murders,” Judge Steven Boyce said.
Vallow Daybell was also sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for two separate charges of conspiracy to commit murder of her two children. She was also sentenced to a total of 10 years in prison for a grand theft charge. The counts will run concurrent to the three consecutive murder charges.
Vallow Daybell addressed the court Monday, saying: “Jesus knows me and Jesus understands me. I mourn with all of you who mourn my children and Tammy. Jesus Christ knows the truth of what happened here. Jesus Christ knows that no one was murdered in this case. Accidental deaths happen. Suicides happen. Fatal side effects from medications happen. Boyce said during the sentencing he doesn’t think Vallow Daybell “has any remorse for the effort and heartache you caused.
“It’s unbelievable that are your age, you have no prior criminal history and now, you sit here convicted of the most serious charges,” Boyce said. “The most unimaginable type of murder is to have a mother murdering her own children and that’s exactly what you did. Despite the jury convicting you with overwhelming evidence, you still sit here before the court today and said you didn’t do it.
