Poisoned Husband Murder Trial -UT v. Kouri Richins- Preliminary Hearing Day 1 Part 4

Utah Children's Book Author Kouri Richins to Stand Trial for Alleged Murder of Husband A Utah mother of three who published a children's book about grief after her husband's death has been ordered to stand trial on charges of murder, attempted murder, and other crimes in relation to his death. Kouri Richins, 34, has been accused of drugging her husband's Valentine's Day sandwich in February 2022 in an alleged murder attempt that he survived, and then spiking his cocktail with a fatal dose of fentanyl 17 days later. Prosecutors have also alleged that Richins was in debt when she fraudulently obtained a $2 million life insurance policy on her husband before his death. She was charged with multiple counts of fraud and forgery in connection with the allegations. Richins has pleaded not guilty to the charges and has previously claimed innocence, telling "Dateline" this year that she had been taken away from her "babies." "This means war," she said. Despite her claims of innocence, a judge has ruled that prosecutors have shown probable cause to try Richins on the allegations of financial crimes and murder charges in the death of her husband, Eric Richins, 39. Richins' trial is scheduled to begin in the last week of April. One year after her husband's death in March 2022, Richins published a children's book called "Are You With Me?" which sought to help children struggling with the death of a loved one. The book follows the story of a child who has lost their father, but is reminded that his presence still exists all around them, just like an angel watching over them. The case has drawn significant attention due to the tragic circumstances surrounding Eric Richins' death and the allegations against his wife. The trial is expected to be closely watched by the public and the media as it unfolds. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
