Last week, jury selection wrapped up with 12 jurors and six alternates being chosen from nearly 2,000 Ada County residents who received a summons. The trial is being overseen by Seventh District Judge Steven Boyce, who previously explained to would-be jurors that the complicated case is expected to last as long as eight weeks.

On Monday, jurors heard testimony from Kay Woodcock, JJ Vallow’s grandmother, who described how the defendant, over the years, made the metamorphosis from a “very engaged” and “doting mom” to someone who “didn’t want” her adoptive son anymore.

The state’s second witness was Brandon Boudreaux, the ex-husband of Vallow’s niece, Melani Boudreaux Pawlowski. Boudreaux and Pawlowski have children together, and the father, in child custody filings, has claimed that Pawlowski shared Vallow’s alleged doomsday belief system and knew where the then-missing children were. In one court filing, Brandon Boudreaux accused his ex-wife of conspiring with her uncle, Alex Cox, to kill him.

Brandon Boudreaux recounted the day of the shooting in Ada County late Monday afternoon.
