Here are the top stories in Boise today:

1. Monday is the day for an update on the Chad Daybell/Lori Vallow Daybell case. EastIdahoNews reporter Nate Easton reports Vallow Daybell is requesting her charges be dismissed due to too much time in jail without a trial. Vallow Daybell claims her right to a speedy trial has been violated even with her time in a mental facility due to competency issues. If the trial goes on as scheduled on April 3 of this year, Vallow Daybell will have spent 1,169 days in jail. Chad Daybell's attorney has also issued two subpoenas-one for an attorney of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and a second for victim Joshua Jaxon Vallow's school records. Both have been charged with multiple counts of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder for the deaths of 7-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow and 16-year-old Tylee Ryan – two of Lori’s children – along with Chad’s previous wife, Tammy Daybell.
