Lori Vallow Daybell, Idaho mom charged in kids' deaths, could face death penalty if convicted
CBSN
Prosecutors in Idaho say they will seek the death penalty against a woman charged with killing her two youngest children and her new husband's previous wife.
The prosecuting attorneys from Fremont and Madison counties made the announcement in court documents filed Monday, saying Lori Vallow Daybell will qualify for capital punishment if she is convicted at her trial later this year because the slayings were exceptionally depraved and carried out for financial gain.
The prosecutors also said Vallow Daybell showed "utter disregard for human life" and "has exhibited a propensity to commit murder which will probably constitute a continuing threat to society." Her attorney, Jim Archibald, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
