				Daybell was convicted Thursday on a charge of conspiring to 
				murder Brandon Boudreaux, who was once married to Daybell’s 
				niece, outside his home in the Phoenix suburb of Gilbert. 
				 
				An Arizona jury convicted Daybell in late April of conspiring 
				with her brother, Alex Cox, to kill her estranged husband, 
				Charles Vallow, in 2019 at her home in Chandler, another Phoenix 
				suburb. 
				 
				The mother with doomsday religious beliefs has already been 
				sentenced in Idaho to life in prison for killing her two 
				youngest children and engaging in a plot to kill a romantic 
				rival. 
				 
				She is scheduled to be sentenced in both Arizona cases on July 
				25. Each conviction carries a life sentence. 
				 
				Boudreaux said his ex-wife, Melani Pawlowski, aspired to be like 
				her aunt Lori and that the two began attending religious 
				meetings together in 2018, and soon Pawlowski was arguing that 
				they should stockpile food for the end of the world. 
				 
				In October 2019, someone in a Jeep outside Boudreaux’s home 
				fired a rifle shot at him, missing him but shattering a window 
				on his car. 
				 
				Boudreaux recognized the Jeep as the vehicle that Vallow’s 
				daughter, Tylee Ryan, regularly drove before her death. 
				 
				Vallow Daybell isn’t an attorney but chose to defend herself at 
				both trials in Arizona.
