The jury weighs in at the trial of Kouri Richins, the Utah grief author and mom of three accused of murdering her husband.

In Dateline Round Up, the ex-lover of convicted killer and former MLB pitcher Dan Serafini learns her fate. And a potentially game-changing ruling in a 30-year-old murder case. Plus, AI is being used to write police reports and predict crimes. Does it work? This episode discusses suicide.
