A Utah jury found a mother of three guilty of fatally poisoning her husband with a fentanyl-laced cocktail, a crime that drew national attention when the woman wrote a children's book about grief and the loss of a loved one.
Jurors deliberated for just over three hours on March 16, before finding Kouri Darden Richins guilty of first-degree aggravated murder, attempted aggravated murder, forgery and insurance fraud in the death of her husband.Eric Richins, 39, died on March 4, 2022, of a fentanyl overdose at the couple's home in Kamas, Utah, a small mountain town about 40 miles east of Salt Lake City.
It only took the jury less than 3 hours to come to their verdict. Richins' former housekeeper admitted that she had procured illicit fentanyl pills for her. Richins was also having an affair while she was poisoning her husband and of course, there's the large insurance policies taken out before the husband's death--yeah, throw away the keys and put this evil witch away for life.
