Children’s book author Kouri Richins poisoned husband for a very vain reason, prosecutor says

Kouri Richins was convicted of poisoning her husband Eric with a fentanyl-laced Moscow mule and has been sentenced to life in prison after jurors said the evidence proved the charge. Prosecutors said she used about five times the lethal dose and argued the killing was driven by financial motives tied to millions in debt, life insurance policies, and an extramarital affair. The recent allegation that a former youth pastor allegedly benefited from an insurance payout after his wife's death highlights a recurring pattern in which financial gain and exploitation of trust factor into spousal homicides.
