'Cult mom' Lori Vallow appeals conviction after being found guilty of murdering her 2 children
Fox News
Lori Vallow is appealing her conviction after an Idaho jury found her guilty of murdering two of her three children and plotting to murder her husband's first wife in 2019.
Vallow's attorney, Jim Archibald, is asking the Idaho Supreme Court to consider 16 different possible issues related to her conviction, including whether the court made a mistake in deeming his client "competent to stand trial" in April 2022 after she spent "10 months in a mental hospital," the court filing states.

He is also asking the Supreme Court whether Idaho prosecutors' "repeated requests for a continuance" violated Vallow's right to a speedy trial and the court's setting and whether the court erred in allowing prosecutors to amend the grand jury indictment filed against Vallow, among other requests for consideration.
