BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Idaho jurors will soon begin deciding the guilt or innocence of a mother charged in a bizarre triple murder case. Prosecutors say Lori Vallow Daybell took part in a complex conspiracy that included unusual spiritual beliefs and efforts to kill those who stood in the way of her goals. Defense attorneys say she’s a good mom who fell under the sway of a cult-like leader, and that no evidence ties her to the crimes. Vallow Daybell has pleaded not guilty to murder, conspiracy and grand theft charges in the deaths of her two youngest kids and her new husband’s previous wife. Here, a look at the defendants and some of the key people in the trial.
