Summary

A Utah jury has convicted Kouri Richins of murdering her husband Eric Richins with a lethal fentanyl cocktail — and the case is more disturbing than most headlines captured.

The night before Eric died, a text message entered into evidence showed Kouri's boyfriend had already lost hours of consciousness after eating something she gave him. The next morning, Eric was dead from five times the lethal dose of fentanyl in a Moscow Mule she made him.

True Crime Today's coverage of the Kouri Richins verdict goes deeper than the verdict itself — breaking down the full timeline of evidence prosecutors used to convince eight jurors in just three hours. The $4.5 million in debt. The secret life insurance policies. The forged signature. The Valentine's Day poisoning attempt. The Google searches she ran after Eric died. And the children's grief book, written by a ghostwriter, that briefly made her a sympathetic public figure before her arrest.

Forty-two witnesses. Zero defense witnesses. Three hours to decide. Guilty on every count.

Sentencing: May 13th.
