Lori is proving just how guilty she is while she crosses his sister and his date. Things she asked and their direct answers stated her motives and actions to the jury and it was great to watch. Hope she continues to sink herself.
This is arizonas attempt to save face after they completely dropped the ball in the first place, she should have been stopped here before she killed her kids. Way to go arizona

She's evil and beyond.
I wonder if they are going to bring in similar fact evidence which is Alex attacking her third husband.
And Tylee’s statements can’t come in!! She’s cooked!! They DO have A LOT!!!
Yes they can get past it because they have text messages from Lori’s phone about getting rid of Charles.
There's the text to Chad saying he changed the beneficiary. it must have been Ned before we got rid of him
Excellent, BRILLIANT guest…thank you J Ritter, appreciate your work.
She is making a fool out of herself …
Charles was handsome, Chad is an Oompa Loompa. Or like Colby says, Peter Griffin.
Great insights!
I disagree. I don’t think she’s doing that good. Missing opportunities to object and going off on nowhere tangents with her questions. Not to mention her petty attacks on some of the witnesses. So much evidence not being allowed in is so sad. Hoping & praying that the jury comes to the correct conclusion!
I don’t believe the bat story Jack! It’s a lie!
Ohhh best guest from court tv!Jack is super smart! Spot on in these cases! And his sidekick Josh is too funny!
You guys seem to keep leaving out of the conversation that Lori was also convicted of conspiring to murder the first Mrs. Daybell (Tammy Daybell) not just murdering the two children.
20:21 Judge Beretsky has excluded prior bad acts. He's only allowing the prosecutor to mention that Lori has 2 felonies with no details. He's not even allowing the total number of Lori's felonies, just 2 without details of what the felonies are. The jurors don't know that Tylee & JJ are dead. I really appreciate Jack's wisdom but I don't think he's had time to actually watch the trial. Lori being a convicted murder has been excluded. The videos of Tylee & Alex talking giving their contradictory stories have been excluded as hearsay. Thank you for covering this trial. It's quite different from her other one.
The video of Tylee saying these things about the bat, etc has been excluded. It's not coming into this trial.
Always a great show! I appreciate when Jack is a guest host. You both really get the conversation going.
This scares me
Love these two
. I wish Jack could come on Courtroom Confidential with Josh!
I have been waiting for you to cover the train wreck that is Lori Vallow, either on here or court confidential
I tried my hardest to watch the footage but it was a painful watch
15:46 Isn't there established case law about prior bad acts? They've been brought into trials before.

How do you get around the fact that he left the room and returned with a gun. That's not self defense at that point.
I think there is little stress for Lori. She is psychotic -she has no emotion, empathy or concern.
Tell Jack to come join us for a CC Conversations!!
I’ve always wondered if Lori coerced Tylee to lie for her and that ultimately led to her own demise knowing the truth and that was an issue for Lori. She had to have been feeding her the same brainwashing bs that constantly flies out of her mouth. Great guest
I still think she's guilty
They are not letting Tylee's interview into evidence because Lori doesn't get to benefit from killing the unavailable witness. So the jury won't hear any of that.
