Summary

The state requested a ruling that Kouri Richins attorneys are in contempt of the court’s authority for violating the protection order with certain statements they made during an interview with KUTV2.

The state asserts defendant’s counsel violated the protection order which incorporates Rule 3.6 of the UTAH Rules Of Professional Conduct by participating in an interview with KUTV2 News to influence future sworn jurors because counsel believes that the playing field in the courtroom is not level. In response, the defense says they complied with the safe harbor provisions of Rule 3.6 and their public statements were necessary to respond to numerous false narratives.

Next in line was Wendy Lewis, Kathy Nestor, and Alexander Ramos.

They took over in May of 2024.

There was a ruling on November 20th regarding the state's motion for an order to show cause.

important parts they talked about. So let's go over that first. First up was a co-worker of

Corrie's from Home Depot, which is where she met Eric.

1:14.1

She said you would never forget Eric's laugh.

1:17.8

She encouraged Eric to talk to Corey after Corey caught his eye.

1:22.1

And after the first date, they were glued to each other and she said it was perfect.
