An Idaho judge has postponed the trial of a woman charged with conspiring to kill her two youngest children and her fifth husband's wife until officials can determine if she's mentally competent.
Seventh District Judge Steven Boyce ruled Thursday, a few days after Lori Vallow Daybell's defense attorneys asked that the case be paused. The documents detailing the request were sealed and a short hearing on the matter was closed to the public.
The trial had been set for next January.
