Idaho Supreme Court hears request to retry Lori Vallow-Daybell in killings

An attorney run amok and a case “whipsawed on steroids.” That’s how the Lori Vallow-Daybell murder case was described during Monday’s Idaho Supreme Court hearing on whether the convicted killer should get a new trial. The arguments centered on whether Vallow-Daybell was wrongly denied the attorney of her choice, Boise attorney Mark Means, and whether he could have represented her in the first place. In May 2023, an Ada County jury found Vallow-Daybell guilty of murdering her two children, 7-year-old J.J. Vallow and 16-year-old Tylee Ryan, and of conspiring to kill Tammy Daybell, the wife of her lover, Chad Daybell. 7th District Judge Steven Boyce sentenced Vallow-Daybell to multiple life sentences. Before trial, Boyce removed the death penalty as a possible punishment after defense attorneys argued that evidence turned over two weeks before trial couldn’t be adequately reviewed in time. Vallow-Daybell was later convicted in Arizona in 2025 of conspiring to murder her estranged husband, Charles Vallow, and her niece’s ex-husband, Brandon Boudreaux, and received two additional life sentences. She is serving her sentences at the Pocatello Women’s Correctional Center. Chad Daybell is on Idaho’s death row awaiting the appeal of his own case. Vallow-Daybell’s state-appointed appellate attorney, Craig Durham,

Liberty Park to feature fencing, a first for Boise

BOISE — A 50-year-old park on the Boise Bench will be getting a much-needed facelift following a Thursday ground breaking. Liberty Park off of Emerald Street is undergoing renovations for improved accessibility, the addition of bathrooms and new playground equipment. The park is the oldest city park to have gone so long without any renovations. It was first opened in 1975. “I have heard loud and clear … how important it was to invest in this park,” Mayor McLean said Thursday. “This park, the playground, is old as I am and the city hadn’t reinvested in it yet.” The renovations will include accessible swings, slides, climbing structures and more aimed towards inclusivity. During construction, the park will remain closed to public use. The $2 million investment comes from multiple sources according to Boise Parks and Recreation Director Sara Arkle, including the Funded by Land and Water Conservation Fund and the city’s general fund. “One of the things we’ve been challenged with, and I know many people have, is just the increased cost of construction,” Arkle said. “So it does take a really creative mind and a good partnership between our city departments to make good work happen.” The final design

LIVE BLOG: Broncos take on Rams with Cutforth getting the start

FORT COLLINS, Colo. -- The Boise State football team is at Canvas Stadium, getting ready for a game against Colorado State. With a win against the Rams, the Broncos (7-1, 4-0 Pac-12) will need just a win against Oregon State next week to not only clinch a spot in the Pac-12 Championship game at the end of the season, but also clinch home field advantage for the game. The Broncos will be without quarterback Maddux Madsen who was injured in the fourth quarter of last week’s win against Texas State. Max Cutforth, who led the Broncos to a comeback victory against the Bobcats, will get his first start of the season against the Rams (3-5, 1-3). Cutforth started three games last season with Madsen injured, including a 49-21 win against Colorado State. The game is scheduled to kickoff at 4 p.m. and be televised on USA. Until then, here are some links from Blue Turf Sports and the Idaho Press from throughout the week.
