Summary


Kouri Richins brazenly murdered her husband Eric, lacing a drink with a lethal dose of fentanyl, hoping to cash in on his business, home, and life insurance policies. 

The only hitch was that Korui Richins’ ‘girl math’ didn’t add up. Most of Eric Richins’ wealth was going to end up nowhere near his wife Kouri, and it was going to be very hard to spend from prison. 

In this concluding part of our two-part series on the murder of Eric Richins, we pull apart the trial and discuss how Kouri Richins unwittingly destroyed her own defence, all while trying to outwit the prosecution.
