A Utah mom who wrote a children’s book on grief after fatally poisoning her husband was sentenced to life in prison.
Kouri Richins laced her husband Eric Richins’ Moscow Mule with a fatal dose of fentanyl in March 2022.
At first, authorities believed Eric Richins accidentally overdosed; however, a year after his sudden death, police accused Kouri Richins of killing her husband.
Prosecutors said the motive was financial. Kouri Richins was reportedly in more than $4 million in debt, and she took out a $2 million life insurance policy on her husband without his knowledge.
Prior to her arrest, Kouri wrote a children’s book about grief titled “Are You With Me?”
The grieving widow actually went on a morning talk show and promoted her children’s book.
In the Spring of 2023, Kouri Richins was arrested and charged with her husband’s murder.
Kouri was convicted this March and sentenced to life in prison on Wednesday.
The Utah grief author convicted of murder after prosecutors said she laced her husband’s cocktail with a fatal dose of fentanyl was sentenced to life in prison without parole Wednesday, on what would have been his 44th birthday.
Richins, handcuffed in the front and wearing a neon green t-shirt over a grey long-sleeved shirt, addressed her sons who said earlier in victim impact statements they’d feel unsafe if she were ever released.
