Is it ever wise to act as your own attorney when you're on trial for allegedly orchestrating your husband's murder?

Lori Vallow-Daybell—yes, the same one already convicted for the murders of her children—is back in the legal spotlight, and this time she’s defending herself in Arizona for the alleged murder conspiracy of Charles Vallow. In a twist that sounds more like satire than courtroom strategy, she’s ditched the lawyers and taken the DIY route. Former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to unpack just how spectacularly wrong this could go.

We’re talking word salad defense tactics, courtroom decorum being punted out the window, and the very real risk of mistrials stacking up like bad decisions at a Vegas wedding. Can this trial even make it to a verdict, or will Lori derail it every step of the way? And should prosecutors even consider calling Chad Daybell to the stand, or would that just throw more gasoline on this already blazing circus?

If your murder defense plan hinges on vibes and delusions of divinity, should we be surprised when everything catches fire?

What happens when the legal system collides with pure chaos?
