Summary
Before the Kouri Richins jury ever decides whether she murdered her husband, they've already learned who she is. Phone searches for "fentanyl poisoning." Deleted memes accessed minutes after first responders left — one saying "I'm really rich." A jailhouse letter coaching family on testimony. A forged signature on a life insurance policy a month before Eric died. And three days after his death, a text to her alleged drug source asking if she still had her connection.
That's the deception pattern the prosecution has laid in front of the jury. And now Kouri has to either take the stand and explain it — or stay silent and let the jury sit with all of it.
On Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski and Eric Faddis examine what a documented pattern of deception actually does in a criminal trial. Eric has prosecuted defendants whose behavior told the story against them, and he's defended clients who had to fight through records that made them look guilty. His read on where Kouri stands right now is worth hearing.

| 1:25.8 | How is all of this at the end of the day going to play |

| 1:43.0 | You know, Tony, there's this legal fiction that judges impose in trials whereby they presume |
