Why Kouri Richins jurors decided Utah mom was a killer - CBS News
Overview
At Kouri Richins' sentencing, jurors explained that the evidence presented at trial convinced them she killed her husband, despite her repeated claims of innocence. Prosecutors, led by Brad Bloodworth, detailed that Eric Richins' Moscow mule was laced with about five times a lethal dose of fentanyl and argued financial motives including heavy debts, life insurance policies, and an extramarital affair. Jurors pointed to the totality of the evidence — including the timing of a children’s book about grief she published after his death — when deciding she was the killer, aligning with earlier reporting about her conviction and life sentence.
