Prosecutor alleges Lori Vallow manipulated accomplices in murder trial.
Prosecutors in the trial of Lori Vallow, the "cult mom" accused of killing her two children and new husband's ex-wife, argued in their closing statement that Vallow "groomed" and "manipulated" her alleged accomplices to carry out the murders. The prosecution claimed that Vallow was driven by "money, power, and sex" and used religion as a tool to manipulate others. The defense argued that Vallow was not a killer, but the prosecution pointed to evidence showing that she altered her children's Social Security payments to go directly to her just days before they were killed. Vallow faces life in prison on charges of first-degree murder, conspiracy, and grand theft.
