Legal Battle Over Definition of 'Victim' in Lori Vallow Daybell Case Could Change Course of Trial #LoriVallow #Justice

A hearing was held in the Ada County Courthouse to determine the legal definition of a "victim" in the Lori Vallow Daybell case. The decision would dictate who would be allowed to listen to certain portions of testimony and evidence and potentially influence a witness's testimony when called to the stand. The prosecution argued that the definition should include anyone who suffers emotional harm as a result of an offense, including JJ's grandparents, Lori's sister, and her son. The defense countered that only Colby Ryan, as a sibling of the deceased victims, truly fit the legal definition of a victim. Lori's defense team also questioned whether JJ's grandmother was still considered his legal grandmother under Idaho adoption laws. The judge must now consider both sides and issue a written ruling determining who will be considered a victim and therefore be allowed to be present during certain portions of testimony.
