Fox News
Lori Vallow Daybell, the so-called "Cult Mom" who is set to go on trial in April for allegedly murdering her children, is seeking "strategy sessions" with her husband and co-defendant.
"With settlement proposals, mediation, motions and trial fast approaching, Lori and Chad would like to be able to talk together in person and on the phone about their options," her attorneys wrote.

Prosecutors wrote in a motion opposing the strategy sessions that they have "serious reservations" about the two defendants communicating directly with each other.
"While the state recognizes that the defendants may communicate through their counsel, and also may strategize together through their attorneys, which the State would not be a party to or have input on; there is no inherent right or privilege for the defendants to have direct communication," prosecutors wrote.
