UTAH – A jury convicted Kouri Richins of aggravated murder after prosecutors proved she poisoned her husband, Eric Richins, with a lethal dose of fentanyl in March 2022. The 38-year-old victim collapsed after drinking a cocktail laced with five times the fatal amount. Prosecutors said Richins, a real estate agent, was $4.5 million in debt and believed she would inherit her husband’s $4 million estate. She had also opened life insurance policies worth $2 million without his knowledge.
guilty of murder
Jurors heard evidence of an alleged Valentine’s Day attempt weeks earlier, when Eric blacked out after eating a fentanyl-laced sandwich. Richins was also convicted of forgery and fraudulently claiming insurance benefits. Her internet searches included “what is a lethal dose of fentanyl” and “luxury prisons for the rich America.” Sentencing is scheduled for May 13, Eric’s birthday, with the murder charge carrying 25 years to life.
