The Case Against Kouri Richins

The Kouri Richins Case EXPOSED - The Jailhouse Letter and the War Over Narrative Description: She wrote a grief book for her kids. Then prosecutors say she wrote a jailhouse letter to her mom instructing how to lie on the stand. In this episode, Eric Faddis helps us dissect one of the strangest pieces of evidence in the Kouri Richins case—the infamous “Walk the Dog” letter. Was it witness tampering? A poorly executed cover-up? Or, as the defense claims, just a draft of a fictional story? We explore how this single piece of writing could radically shift how jurors interpret Kouri’s credibility—and whether it signals guilt or desperation. Faddis brings prosecutorial insight into how this letter fits into a pattern: the narrative of a woman allegedly trying to reframe her husband's death, control public perception, and rewrite reality. We also explore how the court has handled similar “fiction vs. confession” claims in high-profile cases—and what the jury is likely to believe. It’s not just about whether she poisoned her husband. It’s about whether she tried to script her innocence in real time—and if the jury will see through it.

Is There Enough Solid Evidence To Convict Kouri Richins Of Poisoning Her Husband For Insurance Cash? Description: It’s the prosecution’s headline claim: Kouri Richins killed her husband to collect a $2 million life insurance payout. But behind that bold narrative lies a big question—does the state have the hard evidence to prove it? In this episode, Eric Faddis, a former prosecutor turned defense attorney, joins Tony Brueski to assess whether the case against Kouri is as airtight as it sounds—or whether it’s built on inference, not forensic certainty. We dig into the alleged failed poisoning attempt on Valentine’s Day, suspicious Google searches, financial fraud, and the toxicology report that confirmed a lethal dose of fentanyl. But even with all that, is it enough? Faddis explains what jurors need to see to convict someone of first-degree murder—and how the defense might use the complexity of Kouri’s financial history, the circumstantial timeline, and a lack of eyewitnesses to argue for doubt. Could this be another media-hyped trial that loses traction in the courtroom? Or is the digital trail and financial motive enough to seal the deal? We break it down step-by-step in one of the most dissected poison cases in recent memory.

Could Kouri Richins Walk Free Because Of Her Deceased Dealer Description: The alleged drug dealer is dead. The victim is dead. And now, key parts of the prosecution’s case against Kouri Richins might be collapsing under the weight of missing witnesses. In this episode, criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to explore how the death of the man believed to have supplied the fentanyl used to kill Eric Richins could complicate the path to conviction. Without testimony or cross-examination, and with hearsay limitations blocking some statements from entering court, the prosecution’s narrative faces serious structural risks. We break down why this isn't just a technicality—it's a critical gap in the case. Without the dealer, prosecutors can’t directly tie Kouri to the source of the lethal dose. And when you're relying on circumstantial connections, every missing link matters. Eric Faddis explains how the defense will seize this opportunity to frame the case as speculative, thin, and built more on suspicion than solid proof. Could the loss of this witness be enough to create reasonable doubt? And could the state’s strongest weapon—its motive narrative—start to look more like a theory than a prosecutable truth? The stakes are high. The witnesses are gone. And the question is real: could Kouri Richins walk because the case is fading before it even starts?

As the high-profile case of Kouri Richins moves toward trial, prosecutors and defense attorneys are locked in a battle over the admissibility of key evidence that could shape the outcome. Richins is charged with the murder of her husband, Eric Richins, who died in March 2022 from a fentanyl overdose. With conflicting narratives surrounding the investigation, both sides are arguing over whether law enforcement followed proper procedures in collecting crucial materials. From the beginning, investigators struggled to determine whether Eric Richins’ death was an accident, suicide, or homicide. Detective Jeff O'Driscoll, one of the lead investigators, testified that Kouri Richins was not initially considered a prime suspect. "We knew Eric had died of a fentanyl overdose but did not know whether it was an accident, suicide, or homicide," O'Driscoll explained. He described Richins as “very cheery, very open” when he first spoke with her at her home, a characterization that has drawn skepticism. Defense attorney Kathy Nestor questioned the detective’s methods, particularly his extended three-hour stay at the house and his failure to inform Richins that their conversation was being recorded. Nestor also challenged why investigators obtained Richins’ phone records before meeting with her without notifying her legal counsel. O'Driscoll defended his approach, stating, "In order to be thorough, I was trying to investigate all of those possibilities." Further controversy surrounds how law enforcement seized Richins’ phone. During a traffic stop shortly after the initial search of her home, Eric Maynard of the Summit County Sheriff’s Office collected her phone. In a recording played in court, Richins could be heard crying, but Maynard testified, "I did not see tears." He also acknowledged an error in his report that mistakenly stated she was in custody at the time of the seizure. The defense argues these inconsistencies raise serious concerns about the credibility of the investigation. Adding to the case’s complexity is a letter titled "Walk the dog!!" discovered in Richins’ jail cell. Prosecutors claim the letter contains instructions for her mother and brother about how to handle their testimony and financial matters. The prosecution argues the document is an attempt at witness tampering, particularly with its references to a person known as "Lotto," described as an intimate acquaintance of Richins. Deputy Summit County Attorney Brad Bloodworth emphasized the significance of the letter, stating, "This is not trial preparation; it’s about controlling testimony and publicity." The defense has countered by suggesting the letter could be covered under attorney-client privilege because it references legal advice, challenging whether it should be allowed in court. Another disputed issue is the search warrants executed against Richins. Less than three weeks after O'Driscoll’s initial interview with her, investigators obtained a warrant to search her home for evidence, including copper cups and counterfeit pills. During this search, an orange notebook was seized, though its relevance remains in question. Additionally, when Richins was arrested outside a Salt Lake County business, authorities seized another phone, which her legal team claims may have been improperly handled. Beyond the murder charges, Richins faces additional allegations of mortgage fraud and forgery, which will be addressed in a separate trial. As attorneys on both sides continue filing briefs to challenge or defend the evidence, the judge will make final rulings after an upcoming hearing. With the trial scheduled for April, the battle over what evidence the jury will hear is far from over. As prosecutors push to include key materials linking Richins to financial motives and potential witness manipulation, the defense is fighting to suppress evidence they claim was obtained improperly. The outcome of these legal skirmishes could play a pivotal role in determining whether Kouri Richins is ultimately convicted of her husband's death. #KouriRichins #TrueCrime #EricRichins #MurderTrial #LegalNews #CrimeInvestigation #CourtroomDrama Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The high-profile case of Kouri Richins, charged with murdering her husband, Eric Richins, has entered a critical phase as attorneys contest the admissibility of key evidence ahead of her trial. Eric Richins died in March 2022 from a fentanyl overdose, and investigators took over a year to arrest his wife. The case is attracting attention due to conflicting narratives about the investigation process and the evidence gathered. Detective Jeff O'Driscoll, one of the lead investigators, testified about his early visits to Kouri Richins, emphasizing that she was not initially a primary suspect. "We knew Eric had died of a fentanyl overdose but did not know whether it was an accident, suicide, or homicide," O'Driscoll explained. He described Kouri Richins as “very cheery, very open” during his visit, though defense attorney Kathy Nestor criticized his approach. Nestor questioned why O'Driscoll stayed in the home for three hours and why Richins was not informed about an audio recording of their conversation. Nestor also raised issues about O'Driscoll obtaining phone records prior to the visit without notifying Richins or her attorney. "In order to be thorough, I was trying to investigate all of those possibilities," O'Driscoll replied, maintaining that his actions were standard procedure. Investigators executed multiple search warrants, but these operations have drawn scrutiny. During a traffic stop shortly after the first search, Eric Maynard of the Summit County Sheriff's Office obtained Richins' phone. A recording played in court revealed Richins crying during their conversation, but Maynard testified, "I did not see tears." He said she voluntarily gave her phone password but later admitted a mistake in his report, which stated she was in custody at the time. Another contentious piece of evidence is a letter titled "Walk the dog!!" discovered in Kouri Richins' jail cell. Prosecutors allege the letter outlines instructions for her mother and brother about testimony and financial issues, claiming it amounts to witness tampering. The letter also mentions a person referred to as "Lotto," described as an intimate acquaintance of Kouri Richins. Prosecutors argue this correspondence could link her to attempts at manipulating witnesses and avoiding suspicion. However, the defense has questioned whether the letter falls under attorney-client privilege due to references to legal advice. Deputy Summit County Attorney Brad Bloodworth defended the inclusion of the letter, asserting, "This is not trial preparation; it’s about controlling testimony and publicity." Bloodworth also pointed to its significance in explaining potential motives, including financial pressures on Kouri Richins. The timeline of events leading to Richins' arrest also came under scrutiny. Less than three weeks after O'Driscoll’s visit, he secured a warrant to search Richins' home for evidence, including copper cups and counterfeit pills. During the search, an orange notebook was seized, though its relevance is now contested. Additionally, Richins' arrest outside a Salt Lake County business involved another phone seizure, which her defense argues may have been mishandled. Eric Richins' death, initially called in as a medical emergency, has led to Kouri Richins facing charges of aggravated murder and attempted murder, alongside allegations of mortgage fraud and forgery. Her legal team is fighting to suppress evidence they believe was improperly obtained, while prosecutors argue the material is critical to proving her guilt. As the trial approaches, attorneys are tasked with submitting written briefs to address unresolved evidentiary disputes. The judge has indicated that decisions on contested items will follow a future hearing. In addition to the murder charges, Kouri Richins faces separate allegations of financial crimes, including mortgage fraud, which will be addressed in a subsequent trial. The case’s complexity and high stakes underscore the challenges of balancing thorough investigation with legal safeguards. With the trial scheduled for April, it remains to be seen how the evidence battles will shape the jury’s understanding of the events surrounding Eric Richins’ tragic death. #KouriRichins #EricRichins #FentanylOverdose #TrueCrime #LegalNews #MurderTrial #UtahNews Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

A new twist has emerged in the case against Kouri Richins, the Utah mother accused of fatally poisoning her husband, Eric Richins. The investigation into Eric's death, which revealed a lethal dose of fentanyl in his system, has now introduced a key witness, though he will never take the stand due to his sudden death in a motorcycle accident. William Hayden Jeffs, a 35-year-old handyman, was reportedly in contact with Kouri around the time of Eric’s death. Investigators claim that Kouri reached out to Jeffs just weeks before her husband's passing, asking him if he could obtain fentanyl and propofol, an anesthetic, for her. These substances, particularly fentanyl, are central to the allegations against Kouri, who is accused of poisoning Eric with a cocktail of illicit fentanyl. In a search warrant filed by authorities, it was revealed that Jeffs had provided investigators with text messages that confirmed his communication with Kouri regarding these drugs. He allegedly shared copies of the messages with police, further linking him to the case. Unfortunately, Jeffs died in a motorcycle crash on September 30, two months before the trial could proceed. His death has complicated the prosecution’s efforts to bring him into court as a witness, but authorities are still examining his phone, which was seized by law enforcement. The Summit County Sheriff’s Office requested the phone as part of the ongoing investigation into Kouri Richins' alleged actions. However, the documents associated with the case have not clarified whether Jeffs actually supplied Kouri with fentanyl or other drugs. Kouri Richins, who authored a children’s book about grief following her husband’s death, has been charged with multiple offenses, including aggravated murder. According to the autopsy, Eric's fentanyl levels were five times the lethal dose, and the medical examiner confirmed that the fentanyl was not medical-grade but illicit. The prosecution claims that Kouri intentionally poisoned Eric with a fatal dose of fentanyl, and they continue to investigate her interactions with other individuals from whom she may have purchased the drugs. Although Jeffs is no longer able to testify, the investigation is still ongoing, and the case remains complex as investigators search for more evidence. Kouri’s trial is set to begin in April 2025, with a pre-trial conference scheduled for December 12, 2024. As the investigation continues, the revelation of Jeffs’ involvement and his tragic death adds a layer of intrigue and uncertainty to the case, making it one to watch in the months ahead.

The Infamous Kouri Richins TV Interview Before Her Arrest For Murder Kouri Richins, a Utah-based author and mother of three, has been charged with aggravated murder and possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute in connection to her husband, Eric Richins' death in 2022. Family members voiced suspicions about Kouri's involvement in Eric's death, noting that he had feared she might harm him. According to court documents, Eric became ill on multiple occasions after consuming food or drinks provided by Kouri, culminating in his death due to a fentanyl overdose in March 2022. Investigators discovered messages on Kouri's phone with an individual from whom she obtained prescription pain medication, including fentanyl. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Kouri Richins, a Utah children's book author accused of fatally poisoning her husband with fentanyl in 2022, will remain behind bars after a judge denied her bail request. Richins, who wrote a book on coping with grief called *Are You With Me?* following her husband’s death, faces charges of aggravated murder and attempted murder. During a hearing in Utah’s 3rd District Court, Judge Richard Mrazik outlined his reasons for rejecting Richins' bond request. “There simply are not reasonably available means of mitigating her risk to the community and to herself or the strong incentive for her to flee the jurisdiction of the court,” Mrazik said. He emphasized the severity of the charges and her diminished ties to the community as critical factors in his decision. Prosecutors accuse Richins of spiking a cocktail she made for her husband, Eric Richins, with a lethal dose of fentanyl. They also claim she attempted to kill him previously, on February 14, 2022, by giving him a drugged sandwich. Eric Richins, a father of three, died at their home near Park City, a small mountain town known for its scenic beauty. Richins was arrested in 2023, just a year after her husband's death, and gained further attention for her public appearances discussing her family’s grief. Her book, marketed to help children deal with the loss of a loved one, has become a focal point in media coverage of the case. The defense team, led by attorney Kathy Nester, argued that the case against Richins is weakening. “With two charges dismissed and four others severed, the defense stands more confident. The case against our client is rapidly narrowing, exposing deeper weaknesses with each step,” Nester said. Judge Mrazik dismissed two counts of distributing a controlled substance and agreed to separate four real estate-related fraud charges from the upcoming murder trial. However, he denied a motion from the defense to try the murder and attempted murder charges separately. The judge also refused a motion to increase the jury size from the standard eight to twelve members. Despite acknowledging that Utah’s law “may be on the wrong side of history,” Mrazik said he is bound by his oath to uphold it. The trial, set to begin in April 2025, will cover multiple charges, including aggravated murder, attempted murder, two counts of filing fraudulent insurance claims, and one count of forgery. To ensure a fair jury pool, both the prosecution and defense agreed to select jurors from a broader geographic area, spanning Salt Lake and Summit Counties. Richins' defense team emphasized her connections to the area and disputed the notion that she poses a flight risk. However, Judge Mrazik pointed to several concerns, including her loss of business and strained relationship with her children, which he said could increase her motivation to flee. "Structurally, she just doesn't have the same connections to the community that she had then," the judge concluded. Richins remains in custody, awaiting her day in court, as both sides prepare for what promises to be a closely watched trial. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Utah Children's Book Author Kouri Richins to Stand Trial for Alleged Murder of Husband A Utah mother of three who published a children's book about grief after her husband's death has been ordered to stand trial on charges of murder, attempted murder, and other crimes in relation to his death. Kouri Richins, 34, has been accused of drugging her husband's Valentine's Day sandwich in February 2022 in an alleged murder attempt that he survived, and then spiking his cocktail with a fatal dose of fentanyl 17 days later. Prosecutors have also alleged that Richins was in debt when she fraudulently obtained a $2 million life insurance policy on her husband before his death. She was charged with multiple counts of fraud and forgery in connection with the allegations. Richins has pleaded not guilty to the charges and has previously claimed innocence, telling "Dateline" this year that she had been taken away from her "babies." "This means war," she said. Despite her claims of innocence, a judge has ruled that prosecutors have shown probable cause to try Richins on the allegations of financial crimes and murder charges in the death of her husband, Eric Richins, 39. Richins' trial is scheduled to begin in the last week of April. One year after her husband's death in March 2022, Richins published a children's book called "Are You With Me?" which sought to help children struggling with the death of a loved one. The book follows the story of a child who has lost their father, but is reminded that his presence still exists all around them, just like an angel watching over them. The case has drawn significant attention due to the tragic circumstances surrounding Eric Richins' death and the allegations against his wife. The trial is expected to be closely watched by the public and the media as it unfolds. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

She was charged with multiple counts of fraud and forgery in connection with the allegations. Richins has pleaded not guilty to the charges and has previously claimed innocence, telling "Dateline" this year that she had been taken away from her "babies." "This means war," she said. Despite her claims of innocence, a judge has ruled that prosecutors have shown probable cause to try Richins on the allegations of financial crimes and murder charges in the death of her husband, Eric Richins, 39. Richins' trial is scheduled to begin in the last week of April. One year after her husband's death in March 2022, Richins published a children's book called "Are You With Me?" which sought to help children struggling with the death of a loved one. The book follows the story of a child who has lost their father, but is reminded that his presence still exists all around them, just like an angel watching over them. The case has drawn significant attention due to the tragic circumstances surrounding Eric Richins' death and the allegations against his wife. The trial is expected to be closely watched by the public and the media as it unfolds. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
