Lori Vallow Daybell is set for sentencing in the murders of her two youngest children and her husband's former wife.
In a case that has garnered widespread notoriety around the world, a seven-man and five-woman Idaho jury found Vallow Daybell guilty after deliberating for seven hours following a five-week trial.
The verdict came nearly three years after the bodies of Joshua "JJ" Vallow, 7, and Tylee Ryan, 16, were discovered by authorities in Vallow Daybell's husband's backyard near a "pet cemetery."
Vallow Daybell was convicted of three counts of first-degree murder, three counts of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and grand theft by deception.

Kay Woodcock, JJ Vallow's grandmother, said the family "absolutely" wants Vallow Daybell to get a life sentence without parole. They also hope to "do right" by giving the kids and Tammy Daybell proper memorial services.
Vallow Daybell also faces charges in Arizona after being accused of conspiring to kill her niece's ex-husband.
The Monday hearing was scheduled to start at 9 a.m. MT at the Fremont County Courthouse in St. Anthony, Idaho.
