Idaho Court Hears Lori Daybell's Appeal for New Trial

Lori Daybell, convicted in Idaho of murdering her two children and conspiring to kill her husband's first wife, is seeking a new trial before the state Supreme Court. Her attorney argued that disqualifying him due to his representation of her late husband violated her Sixth Amendment right to counsel of choice without proof of an actual conflict. The Attorney General countered that the judge correctly found such a conflict existed. While the Idaho Supreme Court has agreed to hear both sides, it will issue no ruling until later.
