Summary
In this episode, we’re breaking down the latest developments in the Kouri Richins murder trial. Kouri is accused of poisoning her husband, Eric Richins, with a lethal dose of fentanyl in 2022. Prosecutors say the motive was financial — pointing to life insurance policies, mounting debt, and an alleged affair — while the defense argues the state’s case is built on circumstantial evidence.
Each episode in this series walks through one full day of testimony, highlighting the key witnesses, evidence presented in court, and the major moments that could shape the outcome of the trial.
