Full Episode
Good morning. You are listening in to Dateline's morning meeting here at 30 Rockefeller Center.
This story is getting some attention.
Our producers are catching up on breaking crime news around the country. She and the husband both meet with the police to report the stalking incidents.
How long after the interrogation was he arrested?
As you may have gathered, you know, these open marriages can get a little crowded.
Welcome to Dateline True Crime Weekly. I'm Andrea Canning. It's April 10th, and here's what's on our docket. Earlier this week, Lori Vallow Daybell gave the opening statement at her own trial in Arizona. Accused of conspiring to murder her fourth husband, Charles Vallow, she's decided to represent herself. But will her high-stakes legal gamble pay off?
I guess it will be seen if it really goes off the rails.
So far, it has not.
Later on, we'll be talking to NBC News legal analyst and defense attorney Danny Savalos about his take on defendants like Lori who choose to represent themselves.
