The trailer video at the bottom right of the page is worth a couple minutes of your time. It's hard to decide if she is really that much of a religious fanatic, or just nuts, or both.
She did remind me of Manson. IMO, Lori knows she's never getting out and she's guilty. So like Manson, she is going all in with her delusions. Dateline is interviewing her because it's a ratings hit.
Her evasive and grandiose speaking style is pretty typical of those guys. Ted Bundy spoke that way, so too the BTK killer, who bizarrely sought sympathy by saying he was like one of his victims.
What I'm suggesting is that that manner of speaking--constantly shifting the parameters, turning questions back on the questioner, suggesting hostile conspiracies, hinting that one is far more intelligent than the interlocutor, exhibiting paranoid grandiosity--is part of the personality disorder. It's self-defensive and manipulative.
And sometimes, particularly in limited doses, it works.

She started out in court saying she couldn’t get a fair trial because of all the media attention she caused. Now she accepts an interview on prime time during the first of her two trials.
I am interested in knowing what the judge feels about that. She sure has lost her botox. So many wrinkles.
Now that you mention it, she does act and speak like manson.

During the Viet Nam era, bone spurs weren’t the only malady people tried/ used to bail out; I worked in an essential industry (railway), went on a mission, then to college; were there any ‘draft police’ that arrested evaders? I never heard of such…
Psychologists & Psychiatrists are highly trained to detect frauds; it’s not 100% certain or foolproof, but most likely Lori won’t be executed regardless to die in prison anyway.

Just finished one of the books on Lori Daybell. A little more comprehensive than all the interviews and Dateline. Took away a few nuggets like the Mormon splinter group in Manti. The book covers a lot of history of the Mormon church. My never Mormon wife read the book and kept asking me ,do the Mormons really believe this? Alas, they do.
Um, she’s already serving two life sentences. Now they are just trying to fill her dance card up into the 23rd century. Even if she is immortal, the joke’s still on her. She’s not going anywhere, except maybe between prisons.
