'Was He A Good Kisser', Breaking Down Lori Daybell's Crazy Cross Exam With Attorney Eric Faddis
In this riveting episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we explore the opening days of Lori Vallow-Daybell's highly publicized trial in an Arizona courtroom. Lori, notoriously dubbed the "Doomsday Mom," is facing charges of conspiring to murder her fourth husband, Charles Vallow, and has chosen the unconventional path of representing herself. Tony Brueski, alongside former prosecutor and defense attorney Eric Faddis, scrutinizes Lori’s risky decision to serve as her own legal counsel, likening her courtroom tactics to a "slow-motion legal train wreck." The episode meticulously dissects the prosecution's robust and detail-oriented presentation, contrasting sharply with Lori’s unpredictable and often perplexing defense strategy. Tony and Eric highlight significant courtroom moments, such as discussions surrounding life insurance policies, accusations of infidelity, and unsettling testimony involving dark spiritual beliefs used to rationalize murder. The intricate web of evidence and narrative presented by the prosecution is analyzed, offering listeners insights into how such arguments might influence the jury’s perception of Lori’s culpability. Finally, the conversation delves into Lori Vallow-Daybell's intense and emotionally charged cross-examinations, particularly her peculiar fixation on the personal details of her late husband’s interactions and relationships. Tony and Eric consider whether Lori’s self-representation, marked by apparent narcissism and irrelevant lines of questioning, might ultimately harm her defense rather than help.
