YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Lori Vallow, already serving a life sentence for the murders of her two children and her husband’s first wife, faces new complications in her additional murder and attempted murder cases. Scheduled to stand trial for the murder of her ex-husband and the attempted murder of an in-law, Vallow was a no-show at a recent hearing. She’s refusing to cooperate with doctors tasked with determining her competency to stand trial. If deemed incompetent, could the court force her to become competent through medication? Brett Tolman, executive director of "Right on Crime" and the former U.S. attorney who prosecuted Brian David Mitchell, the kidnapper and rapist of Elizabeth Smart, joins NewsNation's "Banfield" to discuss.

Ashleigh Banfield is *the* definitive authority on the nation’s biggest true crime stories.
