5/3/22: Notice of Remote Hearing. Comment: Amended/Redacted. Motion hearing on 5/19/22 to find good cause to continue trial & prevent improper severance. 5/12/22: Defense's response to State's Motion to continue (trial). Does not want separate trials. If moved to 1/9/23 it will give her defense team to get ready.
5/19/22 Update: Hearing held. Judicial Officer Steve Boyce. Parties present: State: State of Idaho, Prosecuting Attorney: Lindsey Anne Blake, Prosecuting Attorney: Robert M. Wood, defendant: Lori Vallow, Public Defender: R. James Archibald & Public Defender: John K. Thomas. Motion to find good cause to continue trial & prevent improper severance. Judge is taking this under advisement & will rule via a written memorandum decision & order. There is a second motion filed under seal they are going to consider next (no broadcast). John Prior states his position is to maintain Daybell trial in January.
5/20/22: Motion to Seal: Supplemental request for discovery as to defendant Daybell's Motions to disqualify APA Rachel Smith & Rob Wood and/or to dismiss indictment.
5/26/22 Update: Memorandum Decision & Order Granting State's Motion to Continue Trial (Vallow). Idaho Judge Stephen Boyce grants state’s motion to continue Vallow’s trial from October 2022 to January 2023, meaning she & Daybell will be tried together, despite Vallow not waiving right to speedy trial during her arraignment. Murder trial set to take place in Ada County on 1/9/23 - scheduled out for ten weeks. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for both Vallow & Daybell.
5/19/22 Update: A pretrial conference to discuss a potential plea deal for murder defendant Vallow-Daybell is scheduled on 11/9/22, the conference will be held at 9:30am.
7/12/22 Update: Vallow's attorney Jim Archibald has filed 2 motions. 1) Motion to remand to Grand Jury for probable cause determination as to alleged aggravating factors. (To incorporate Federal & State constitutional grounds in support of future motions/objections) & 2) Motion to remand Indictment to grand jury for further proceedings. The first motion is a move to cast a wide net to cover federal/state constitutional rights down the road. If convicted, Vallow’s counsel will appeal which is normal in such a serious case like this.
7/18/22: Prosecutors in murder cases are asking a judge to allow comprehensive DNA testing on several pieces of evidence. In a motion filed Monday, Fremont County Prosecuting Attorney Lindsey Blake & Madison County Prosecuting Attorney Rob Wood asked Judge Steven Boyce to allow them to test the following items: Hairs on duct tape inside a body bag used to transport the remains of JJ, ridge detail (fingerprints) on the adhesive side of tape associated with JJ’s body, small dark spots on the handles of a shovel & pickax recovered from a garage/barn, swabs of tape areas & swabs from fingernails from JJ’s right hand obtained during his autopsy. Prosecutors are asking for consumptive testing on the items, which means testing can only be done one time as this type of testing would obliterate the evidence. In the motion filed this week, prosecutors note they have not had consumptive testing done on any materials up to this point but ask Boyce to now allow it. Defense attorneys often have someone observe or videotape consumptive testing as it can only be done once. And asked for a hearing date.
7/30/22: Vallow: Motion to intervene; motion to unseal; motion for Injunction relief. (Motion to unseal all documents & transcripts or recordings of past hearings & relate motion for injunctive relief. Filed by Lori A.G. Hellis). Declaration to support motion. 8/2/22 Update: Motions hearing on 8/16/22 re consumptive testing.

State's Objection to Defendant's Motion to remand to grand jury for probable cause determination as to aggravating factors. 8/11/22 Update: Judge Steven Boyce has approved East Idaho News to have a video camera & livestream for the Daybell/Vallow hearing on Tuesday. 8/12/22: Stipulation for consumptive testing of forensic evidence signed by both parties.
8/13/22 Update: The joint motions hearing on Tuesday, 8/16/22 has been vacated. The lawyers reached an agreement regarding consumptive DNA testing. But Lori will still be in court on Tuesday, 8/16/22 as her defense argues several motions.
