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?
