After deliberating for just over three hours, a Utah jury found Kouri Richins guilty of poisoning her husband with a fentanyl-laced drink at their home in 2022.
Richins, a Utah grief author and mother of three, was convicted of attempted aggravated murder for a failed poisoning attempt on Valentine’s Day 2022, weeks before her husband, Eric Richins' death. In addition, the jury convicted her of forgery and fraud related to his life insurance coverage.
The verdict in the high-profile case came after jurors listened to more than 40 witnesses share testimony about the rocky state of the couple's marriage, a secret affair, and financial issues during the 13-day trial.
Wendy Lewis, one of Richins’ defense attorneys, argued at trial that the evidence does not prove Richins killed her husband.
