3 Shocking Developments in Utah Mom Accused of Poisoning Husband
Ойын-сауық
Lawyers representing Kouri Richins filed a flurry of motions asking to withdraw from the case and to disqualify prosecutors. Richins is accused of murdering her husband, Eric Richins, in March 2022. Richins claims prosecutors have violated her rights by listening to her phone calls with one of her lawyers. They're also asking the judge to suppress the so-called "Walk the Dog Letter." The moves come after a long-awaited preliminary hearing was delayed until June. Law&Crime's Angenette Levy talks about the new developments with the spokesperson for Eric Richins' family in this episode of Crime Fix - a daily show covering the biggest stories in crime.

It’s been said that her mother also poisoned her lover (a female) several years ago and received a substantial amount of death insurance. She would never plead guilty because she knows her mother got away with murder she thinks she will too. By the way mom is also being investigated in both murderers. So they say

There has been a few articles about him. He is a witness for the state, witness #3. I think KR only had the relationship with him in an attempt to get him to help with her plan. He was a handyman working for her in her realty business, she gave him a truck and an apartment, and engaged in their relationship. She evicted him and stopped contact with him shortly after Eric passed. He seems to be a cooperating witness for the state, so I assume he has lots of juicy nuggets and will give very interesting testimony. Hopefully he is credible.

She's not going to admit her guilt, and she's not going to leave any stone unturned to get off of these charges on a technicality. The lawyer is playing games by not using the private communication app. Justice delayed is justice denied.

Contrary to what was said in the intro, the Walk the Dog letter was not 'determined to be' part of a fictional account. That is merely what the def. claims it to be. She says she was writing a story.🙄Whether or not the contents were ever disclosed to her mother and brother remains unproven, however.
What is wrong with a divorce?
She has so many rights. And she is tired of being there. She thinks she is going home soon. I was wondering how long it would take for her attorneys to drop her.

The judge has approved defence council to withdraw. Whether that is due to KR not paying attorney fees or internal conflict isn't known, but she will have to find new attorneys. This prosecutor doesn't fill me with confidence either, so a new prosecutor wouldn't be a bad thing, it may help gain a conviction.
Fictional manuscript! What a joke😂😂😂
This is what I have been talking about, the defense seems to be angling for a mistrial
Why would a fictional manuscript be privileged? That’s a silly argument. It’s witness tempering and scheming to smuggle aided by a licensed attorney. That makes Lazaro look like a criminal right along with her client. She’s colluding with a defendant for commit crimes. She needs to be investigated if she’s claiming that letter is work product.
Let her sit and wait then and that letter needs to be seen by the jurors
What happen to divorce as a first option? When did murder become the go to?
