Legal experts tell The Daily Beast that the decision to showcase how Vallow’s long-held beliefs in a renegade branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints may prove to be a double-edged sword for the prosecution.
But legal experts tell The Daily Beast that the decision to showcase how Vallow’s long-held beliefs in a renegade branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—which took an extremist turn after meeting her husband,“I think it was a mistake for the prosecution to focus on the religion aspect,” Janet Johnson, a criminal defense attorney who is not associated with the case, said on Monday.
Already the defense is trying to push against the prosecution’s allegations against Vallow—and paint her as a “kind and loving mother” with some countercultural ideals. Carole Lieberman, a forensic psychiatrist who has previously testified in murder trials, believes the decision to bring in Vallow and Daybell’s religion early is a strategic move because it leaves the defense with few options for their case.He had chosen [Vallow] to be his wife and they had already been seven times before on this earth...“The defense attorneys in Lori Vallow Daybell’s case have an uphill battle,” Lieberman told The Daily Beast.
“When Lori met Chad, she was smitten and willing to do whatever it took to snare him. Chad felt the same,” Lieberman said. “So, it was easy for them to [allegedly] use their quasi-delusions to kill and to convince others to do the dirty work.” “Chad claimed he had been [the] heavenly father and Jesus and Holy Ghost,” Pastenes said. “He would have been spiritually the highest of anybody…He had chosen [Vallow] to be his wife and they had already been seven times before on this earth… That was his companion and therefore put her in the same spiritual standing.”
