Speaker 1 (01:16):
The trial concluded a series of legal battles for day Bell,
who has faced serious charges related to the murders of
her former spouse, her two children, and the ex wife
of her current husband, Chad day Bell. The cases have
been heavily influenced by Dabell's apopolytic religious beliefs. Prosecutors from
Idaho and Arizona contended that she orchestrated a plan to

(01:39):
eliminate those who obstructed her desire to live with Chad
while benefiting from various life insurance policies. Currently, day Bell
is serving a life sentence in Idaho after being convicted
for the murders of her children, Joshua jj Vallo and
Tyler Ryan, as well as for conspiring to kill Tammy
day Bell, Chad's first wife. In Arizona, she faced charges

(02:02):
for conspiring with her brother Alex Cox to murder her
then husband, Charles Vallow, who was shot in twenty nineteen.
On June twelve, the jury began their deliberations, marking the
start of the day with a focus on the evidence
presented during the trial. Bourdeaux was the first witness to testify,
describing the destruction of his marriage to Melanie day Bell's niece,

(02:24):
and expressing his suspicions about day Bell and Cox. He
recounted the harrowing morning of the shooting when he was
fired upon from a jeep outside his home, stating, as
I let the car coast in that back window pops up,
I see a muzzle. I hear a bang, and in
that moment, your fight or flight instinct kicks in, he said.
He immediately suspected both day Bell and Cox. Prosecutor Trina

(02:48):
Kay reinforced her case by introducing cell phone data receipts
and video evidence that placed Cox at the scene in
day Bell's vehicle. She asserted that day Bell played a
key role in orchestrating the crime, providing an alibi, and
arranging the phone used in the attack. She is responsible,
she is the co conspirator, She is assisting, she is

(03:09):
promoting this crime, Kay declared during her closing arguments. In
her closing statements, day Bell framed the allegations as a
personal vendetta, claiming that Bordeaux had unfairly blamed her for
the breakup of his marriage. Bordeaux decided that I was
responsible for his family tragedy. I'm really sorry, he feels
that way, said Laurie Valoda Bell. In the end, the

(03:33):
jury found her guilty or Crime and Justice News. After this,
a woman from Michigan found herself kicked out of virtual
court after being spotted making a peanut butter and jelly
sandwich during a hearing. Asia Outerbridge was logged into the

(03:54):
thirty six District Court hearing in Detroit, where she was
facing a misdemeanor charge. According to CBS News, While the
proceedings were underway, Judge Sean Perkins noticed that Outerbridge, who
had joined the call late, was busy spreading peanut butter
on bread and instructing her to set the food aside.
Please put down whatever you're preparing, Judge Perkins said. He

(04:18):
also mentioned that she should have properly dressed. Outerbridge insisted
that she was appropriately attired. When the judge questioned if
she was wearing a robe, she explained that she was
attempting to feed her daughter, who was sick, who was
unable to attend school. I'm just trying to take care
of her, she said. The judge acknowledged her situation, but
reminded her, I understand your daughter as unwell, but you

(04:40):
are in court and we must maintain a level of decorum.
Outer Bridge later expressed her regret to CBS News, admitting
I definitely could have done better. She reflected on her attire,
wearing a bathrobe and preparation of a sandwich. I don't
want to be disrespectful to the judge, she said, as
I genuinely do apologize for my actions. As a personal stylist,

(05:05):
she shared, I know how to present myself, but that
day was particularly challenging. Moving forward, I planned to showcase
appropriate court attire and emphasize the importance of not being
caught off guard in a robe while making a sandwich
in court, She said. It's just not the ideal situation
for the latest crime injustice news. Follow Crime Alert hourly
