Lori Vallows surviving son broke down in tears and slammed his lying mom as the convicted child killer was found guilty of also conspiring to murder her ex-husband.
The doomsday cult mom opted to represent herself in a mammoth trial defending allegations she conspired to murder her forth husband Charles Vallow in an effort to access his $1million life insurance policy.
But jurors took just three hours to return a guilty verdict on Tuesday. She is already serving three life sentences for killing her daughter Tylee, 16, and son JJ, seven, in 2019, as well as conspiring to kill Tammy Daybell, her fifth husbands previous wife.
Charles was shot dead by his brother-in-law Alex Cox on July 11, 2019 while visiting his estranged wife and little JJ. Months earlier, he told police that Vallow had threatened to kill him and lost her mind after developing extremist doomsday beliefs.
Vallow chose to delay her sentencing hearing in this trial until after she faces court in June for the attempted murder of Brandon Boudreaux, the ex-husband of Vallows niece. Boudreaux survived the attempt.
Her eldest son Colby Ryan was unable to make it to the courtroom to watch the verdict be handed down, and instead watched online along with thousands of others.
The 29-year-old livestreamed his genuine reaction to the verdict, waiting with bated breath as the juror went through the charge and circumstances before finally delivering the jurys one-word summation of the facts: guilty.
Damn, Colby said as his head fell into his hands.

Lori Vallow s surviving son broke down in tears and admitted he was a mess after the convicted child killer was found guilty of also conspiring to murder her ex husband
He wiped away tears as he said the verdict had been a long time coming.
Colby was comforted by someone off screen, who rubbed his back and allowed him to rest his head against her as he fought back tears.
He then watched as Vallow said she would be willing to stipulate a series of aggravating factors relating to the case, which meant jurors did not have to deliberate further.
Do you agree that pursuant to the jurys verdict of guilty... this would be a dangerous offense? the judge asked.
Correct, she said.
Youre further stipulating that as a result of your conduct, the victim or the victims family suffered emotional or financial harm? the judge asked.
Absolutely, she said, to the bewilderment of viewers at home.
The offense involved the presence of an accomplice, the judge added.

Yes, she answered.
Vallows admissions further enraged Colby, who repeatedly said: Its all three. Its all three.
Shes such a liar, he said. She lied her a** off about my entire family. She tried to lie to me about Tylee and JJ.
Shes lied about every single thing... so for people to see that and recognize that, its everything you need.
Colby went on to say that jurors delivered he and his family justice through their decision.
But at the same time, it makes you realize shes such a liar. I dont have words right now for this.
He reflected that she has now been found guilty of killing three of his beloved relatives, saying through tears: Its everybody.
All three. Everybody, man. Now, its just Brandon, he added.

Im a mess. Holy crap. Ive been waiting for that for a long time. A very long time.
After all the stuff we went through and all the pain... for her to not get away with it, thats all I was worried about.
Such a relief, such a relief. Shes just such a liar and Im so sick and tired of her lying. she wants to pretend that everybody else is against her, she probably thinks that everybody is mad at her. its ridiculous.
One of the jurors, Victoria Lewis, told reporters outside the courthouse that Vallow didnt do herself any favors by choosing to represent herself.
Many days she was just smiling and laughing and didnt seem to take anything very seriously, Lewis said.
