00:00 You chose the most evil and destructive path possible.
00:04 You killed those children to remove them as obstacles
00:07 and to profit financially.
00:09 You justified all of this by going down
00:12 a bizarre religious rabbit hole,
00:14 and clearly you are still down there.
00:17 Jesus Christ knows the truth of what happened here.
00:22 No one was murdered in this case.
00:25 You are sentenced to life imprisonment
00:27 with no possibility of parole.
00:30 Denying the facts and showing no remorse
00:32 for killing her own children, JJ and Tylee,
00:34 their bodies found buried in husband Chad Daybell's backyard,
00:38 Lori will spend the rest of her life behind bars
00:41 with no possibility of parole.
00:43 Before Vallow's words,
00:44 it was time for the families to have their say.
00:47 The judge listening to four victim impact statements,
00:49 including from JJ's grandmother, Kay Woodcock.
00:52 JJ and Tylee could have been with us living happy lives.
00:57 Instead, she took all that away,
00:59 all because she is a money-hungry, power-mongering monster.
01:03 Pre-sentencing, Kay's husband Larry
01:05 spoke outside of court.
01:07 It's time for some more closure,
01:10 and it will never be out of our heart.
01:13 It'll never be out of our mind.
01:16 They're special people.
01:18 Along with the double murder,
01:19 Lori was also found guilty of conspiring
01:22 to murder Chad's first wife, Tammy,
01:24 a teacher who was killed just two weeks
01:26 before he and Lori married.
01:28 In court, Tammy's sister and aunt both spoke.
01:31 I helped raise Tammy's children.
01:33 Because of you, they no longer have their mother.
01:35 For you to turn her home where she lived and slept
01:38 into a cemetery.
01:40 Her two innocent and beautiful children
01:43 is one of the most horrific things I can think of.
01:46 At first, police believed Tammy died
01:48 of natural causes in her sleep.
01:49 It was months later that her remains were exhumed,
01:52 and an autopsy revealed she died of asphyxiation.
01:55 I'm just really grateful for what the verdict was
01:58 for today, the sentencing.
01:59 We know that justice was done.
02:02 So thankful for the judge, the prosecutors,
02:05 every detective.
02:06 We are done with Lori.
02:07 She is no more to us.
