Summary
Former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis takes on two of the biggest criminal cases in the country in one comprehensive interview — the Kouri Richins fentanyl murder trial and the Colin Gray parental accountability case.
In the Richins case, the defense has won real pretrial battles: a recanting drug source, excluded experts, severed financial charges, and witness intimidation allegations against the lead detective. But the prosecution has an alleged prior poisoning attempt, a firsthand witness who says Kouri requested fentanyl and "the Michael Jackson stuff," damning Google searches, forged insurance documents, a jail cell letter allegedly coaching testimony, and more than five times the lethal dose of fentanyl in Eric's system.
In the Colin Gray trial, prosecutors presented what they allege is years of warning signs — an alleged 2021 search for "how to kill your dad," an FBI visit over school shooting threats in 2023, the alleged Christmas gift of an AR-15, a text allegedly about blood on his hands, a reported Parkland shrine, and Colin's alleged words when officers arrived: "I knew it." The defense says Colt hid his plans. The prosecution says the alleged evidence was visible inside the home.
Faddis breaks down both sides of both cases, explains the legal theories at play, and gives his honest assessment of where each trial is headed.
