I believe I read that a strand or two of Lori's hair was caught up in some of the tape wrapped around one of her deceased kids, and that supports the notion that she was in the vicinity when that child's death was being arranged.
And I believe she was present when Alex was 'forced' to kill her previous-to-Chad husband.
She doesn't come across as a shrinking violet.
While there are those men who wouldn't mind having sex with her, I have to wonder about falling asleep in her presence afterward.
Who was present when Tylee was murdered. She was a big gal. Unless she was drugged to unconsciousness, she would have fought like hell. The fact that JJ showed evidence of a struggle, makes me wonder if he was not sufficiently drugged. So maybe Tylee wasn't either.
And who did the stabbing to her pelvis? Why? If she was asphyxiated like JJ and Tammy, why the stab wounds? The forensic witness said that they weren't part of the dismemberment.
I want to know is how Alex died? Was he told he needed to be in heaven, "happy and busy", his work here was done and to move along. IE. Suicide ? Or did Zulema help him get to the CK? Alex was suspiciously absent from Lori's tales of heavenly visits.
What about Joe Ryan? Will that be investigated further? And Brandon Boudreaux? Will Melanie be charged in a conspiracy?
I hope Chad doesn't plea. I want to hear the rest of the evidence that has been gathered in AZ.
Too Bad Ann Rule isn't living to interview her & Chad, write a book, sell the movie rights, and retire in her choice of locations;
I think I heard that her daughter is following her footsteps, I'm sure someone has sharpened their pencils, put fresh ink in their printer for this....
I was reading Patricia Highsmith's The Talented Mr. Ripley the other day and came across this sentence: "His stories were good because he imagined them intensely, so intensely that he came to believe them."
That woman surely understood psychopaths. Probably the foremost reason they do well on lie detector tests is that they have come to believe their own claims. Put differently, their egocentrism is so extreme that they perceive their own wishes as the standard for truth. They are utterly sincere.
Is that not the same as Boyd Packer's admonition that "a testimony is to be found in the bearing of it?" Was he not telling people to lie to themselves and others until they believe what they say? Wasn't Lori doing precisely that?
Once again we see how Mormonism sets up a minority of believers--the Laffertys, LeBarons, and others--to do truly evil things. To be a faithful Mormon, you must surrender your moral judgment and do as you are told; you must believe that God asks righteous people to kill strangers (Nephi) and even their own children (Abraham, Jesus); and you must learn to lie persuasively.
Is Vallow a psychopath? Is she a sincere Mormon? Or is she both?
there's always a minimum of interpersonal activity (I applied for employment at a prison so I know a bit about it...)
laundry, meals, minimum exercise, being monitored by staff, interviews with psychologists (to assess your attitude, how well you'll adapt to incarceration, etc) possibly visitors (Prison Bishop!!!);
prison life isn't just sitting in a solitary cell all day.

in general, all laws apply equally the same to prisoners.
Yes! butt (pun intended) what are they gonna do?
prison admins have ways to make your life inside miserable too.
prisoners 'residents', 'offenders' 'criminals' are no more likely to accept or tolerate nudism more than others.
IMO, Lori knows exactly what she did but now is in too deep to say, "Just kidding". After 5 years in prison, her story will start to change. I'm more interested in her cherub husband Chad. Again, IMO, I think he will through her under the bus at his trial.
I predict no trial for Chad. Lori's trial practically convicted him. I think he'll plead. He's still eligible for the death penalty and as much as he loves death and craves another NDE, I think he'll opt for LWP.
His lawyers will probably drag it out to collect max $$ for themselves in legal fees prior to the plead.
Prison is a good place for both of them. Look how many of the 144,000 (72,000 each) they could round up.
And nothing says they can't have portals in their cells.
