Judge Steven Boyce ruled this morning that the court will stream the verdict live to the public following months of a ban on cameras in the courtroom, a decision made to give Vallow a fair trial. Deliberations will then begin and the highly-anticipated verdict could come as soon as this week. The prosecution also rested its case just a short time earlier today after four weeks of harrowing testimony that revealed salacious texts between the 'Doomsday mom' and her cult leader husband Chad Daybell, as well as insight into their alleged deranged plan to kill her children, who prosecutors say the pair believed were possessed by 'dark' spirits and referred to them as 'zombies.'Ĭlosing arguments will be Thursday, which gives the attorneys time on Wednesday to draft instructions for the jury. 'We don't believe the state has proved its case so the defense will rest,' defense attorney Jim Archibald said after a private meeting with Vallow, 49. Lori Vallow grinned from the defense table in the Boise, Idaho courthouse on Tuesday as her attorneys rested their case without calling a single witness.
