Summary
Prosecutors’ sentencing memo in the Kouri Richins case reveals a pattern of retaliation that went far beyond the courtroom — and every target was someone connected to her children, her case, or the man she was convicted of killing.
According to the memo, Kouri filed what prosecutors describe as false DCFS reports against her sister-in-law Katie Benson while Katie was raising Kouri’s three sons. She hired a lawyer to pursue Katie’s criminal prosecution. She had family members pursue federal firearms charges against Eric’s father for securing his dead son’s guns. She had family post a fake gay dating profile of the lead detective. She reported Eric’s sister to police. She filed bar complaints against both prosecutors. None of it had merit, prosecutors say. All of it had a purpose.
And then she gave a forty-minute speech in court about forgiveness, love, and the importance of not holding hate — while, according to the memo, she’d been holding lists. Tony Brueski puts the speech next to the receipts and breaks down the psychological pattern prosecutors described as “irredeemable.”
