This specific case is connected to the attempted murder of her niece's ex-husband, Brandon Boudreaux. Representing herself, Vallow Daybell argued that her case should be dismissed due to not being granted a speedy trial. The judge disagreed, acknowledging the delays but stating they were justified. Consequently, the trials are expected to proceed back to back.
