CBS2 reports Lori Vallow Daybell’s attorney, Mark Means, has filed several motions on her behalf while she undergoes rehabilitation.
The first being a motion to transfer her trial out of Fremont County. Means claims a fair and impartial jury can’t be found in the county.
Means also filed a reservation of rights and defenses, which notifies the court that Vallow Daybell will not waive her right to defense against charges she is facing.
Means filed another motion to show contempt for failure to comply with a served subpoena for Heather Daybell (Chad Daybell’s sister) and Melanie Gibb.
Here is an excerpt from the motion regarding Gibb:
“To date, no response whatsoever, has been received by Ms. Gibb and or by a legal representative of Ms. Gibb. At the time of service, Ms. Gibb stated she would “refuse service and was calling Prosecutor Wood”. Ms. Gibb was lawfully served with the attached subpoena while Ms. Gibb was physically present in the State of Idaho and allowed ample time to comply with said subpoena. Ms. Gibb has chosen to ignore the rules of law and as such should be ordered by this Court to show cause as to why she should not be held in Contempt. Any such order by this Court should be drafted to allow out of state service regarding said Order as Ms. Gibb is believed to be a residence of the State of Arizona.”
The motion regarding Heather states she hasn’t presented the defense with communications between Gibb.
“To date, H. Daybell has refused to provide the communications between H. Daybell and state witness Mrs. Melanie Gibb,” the motion explains. “These communications are believed to be of the utmost importance and relevant to this matter as Mrs. Melanie Gibb is the State’s witness of priority.”
Lori has been charged with grand theft, two counts of conspiracy to destroy, alter or conceal evidence, two counts of desertion and nonsupport of dependent children, contempt of court, criminal solicitation, obstructing officers, two counts of criminal conspiracy, two counts of conspiracy to commit murder, and two counts of first-degree murder.
