. But true or not, what kind of mother broadcasts all those things about her children’s father?! Those kids must already be getting an onslaught of questions/snarky comments about their potentially murderous mom, murderous great aunt, murderous (and now dead) great uncle, murdered great uncle and two missing cousins. Adding their father’s alleged abuse, alleged homosexuality and alleged *advertiser censored* addiction to the mix may be more than those poor kids can bear.
All that statement accomplished IMO is establishing MB’s a horrible mother and BB is right to keep his kids away from her. And her lawyer has terrible judgment
I hope like h*** those kids are NOT currently in public school.
I'm looking for a source and can't find it. Maybe I dreamed it. I thought I saw an article from Lori's initial hearing where *someone* from Idaho was quoted as saying "we can have people there in a couple of days" to escort her back to Idsho. I just assumed they would just fly commercial. Does anyone remember that? Jmo
I'm googling all kinds of combos and can't find it.
It's there somewhere; I remember it, too.

Clarification on the March 4 status hearing in Hawaii from Lori’s attorney Craig De Costa. “They can come get her anytime. The status hearing is to see if she’s still here or got picked up. If she’s picked up she doesn’t need to be here for the hearing.”
I thought that was obvious from the hearing.
Her attorney wants rid of her.
Oh, totally. I kept getting so sidetracked watching his body language and speech patterns that I forgot to watch her! IMO, he did not have any belief that the hearing to reduce bail was going to accomplish anything, and was just doing what his client wanted him to. Compare his mannerisms and the way he's speaking during the first portion, about the request for bail reduction, with the way he speaks and behaves after the judge has made her decision and he moves on the the waiver. Much more confident and comfortable. Honestly was surprised at how much he was broadcasting his discomfort with having to make the request; it didn't fit with his apparent years of experience. It screamed of "just doing this because I have to, not because I believe in it". And, since Kauai seems to be a very small community with very few judges, the judge is almost certain to be very familiar with his typical courtroom demeanor. Her words - and disdain - were for Lori, IMO, and not the defense attorney, who was simply doing his job. However, I'm doubtful Lori picked up on any of that.
A defense attorney does not necessarily believe their client is innocent. A good one will not make unrealistic promises to their client; rather, they will help them seek the most favorable option available to them. Often, an attorney will encourage their client to plea bargain to lesser charges because they believe the client is likely to be convicted at trial and thus have much greater punishment. It can be pretty difficult for an attorney to deal with a client who will not accept reality. In this case, I suspect that Lori demanded that he fight extradition and for reduced bail, and that a compromise was reached where he convinced her that if the judge denied the reduction, her chances of reduced bail would be better once she was back in Idaho, which made her willing to sign the waiver.
EXCLUSIVE: Cult mom Lori Vallow's husband Chad Daybell is seen leaving jail after an unscheduled visit with his wife as it's revealed he and his dead spouse had debts of $350,000 and filed for bankruptcy in 2008

I can't figure out why the media even thinks that 10+ year old debt and bankruptcy filing is relevant to the case. Heck, they could have ignored the debts and had them off their credit report by now.
Does anyone have any thoughts on how Lori and Alex got a Sugar City, Idaho PO Box without having lived in Sugar City? It's been several years, but the last time I tried to get a PO Box right after moving to a new city I needed to present evidence of my address to get the box. I didn't have any utility bills or my ID changed yet. I ended up having to take a copy of the lease agreement I had just signed into the post office. I was told at the time that these were rules that were made after 911, whereas in the past anyone could come from out of town and set up a PO Box without proving they lived there... What would Lori and/or Alex have demonstrating they lived in Sugar City? Could Alex have moved there first and then added Lori's name to the PO Box?
Um... I've never had to prove that I lived in the same city as where I got a PO Box. In fact, I've usually gotten one months before I moved, before I even found housing, so that I had somewhere to forward mail to ahead of time. For both same-state and different-state moves. You have to have ID, and you have to prove your current physical address, but it doesn't have to be local to the PO Box. It's incredibly common in the region I'm from for people to get boxes at a different office because the size they want is unavailable at the nearest one. (Or, they're completely full up, which happens at one particular location at least once a year.)
The last time I had to add multiple adults to my box, I simply added all their names. The only reason they needed to show ID was if they were going to want to be able to enter the post office and be handed the mail; the post office doesn't care who picks it up with a key. And any name will end up in the box at most post offices, so long as it has the correct address. Even using a pseudonym on a PO box is relatively simple, just add it to the list. The ID proof is so they can track down at least one real person in connection with the box, if necessary. (I've had a lot more difficulty trying to get them to STOP delivering mail to me that was not for me/my household. That's pretty much futile, IMO.)
