A writer says the judge overseeing Lori Vallow's murder case has ordered 'an unusual number of documents sealed,' and she has filed motions several times to unseal them.

"Since the case began in March 2020, Judge Boyce has ordered what is, in my experience, an unusual number of documents sealed," Lori Hellis, author of the blog "The Lori Vallow Story" and retired criminal defense lawyer, wrote in a letter to Idaho Supreme Court Justice Gregory Moeller. "The number of sealed documents led me to research the criteria for sealed documents in Idaho cases. I discovered that Judge Boyce has not followed the procedures set out in ICAR 32."
Hellis had previously filed motions to unseal certain documents on Aug. 18, which Boyce had denied days later. The writer then stated that her motions had been returned to her for errors that the Seventh District clerk had found in her filings.
