He is the father of Cooke&#8217;s two teenage girls, who were Lambert&#8217;s stepdaughters in 2015.<br />
The two women argued bitterly about visitation rights, which is what led Lambert to arrange for Cooke to be killed.<br />
&#8216;I need her away. Gone,&#8217; Lambert told the detective.<br />
&#8216;Just put her in a chopper, you know like one of those lumberjack chopper things.&#8217;</p>

<p>Lambert, who only recently gave birth to a girl, was told to report to the county jail at 8am on July 30 while she deals with another legal matter.<br />
Physiologist Jolie Brams previously told the jury that Lambert was &#8216;developmentally challenged&#8217; and said she had drink and drug problems.<br />
She also suffers from eating disorders and has issues with her body image, leading to her more than two dozen cosmetic surgeries.<br />
Brams said that on one occasion, Lambert was told her sweater did not fit so she immediately went to her plastic surgeon for an operation.<br />
Lambert&#8217;s defense attorney James Kingsley said at an earlier hearing: &#8216;Tara Lambert doesn&#8217;t know what&#8217;s appropriate for a situation. She&#8217;s childlike. Life&#8217;s a fantasy to her.&#8217;</p>
