Brad Bloodworth

Brad Bloodworth is a Summit County Prosecutor who recently presented the state's final arguments in the case against Kouri Richins. Richins, a Utah woman and author of a children's book about grief, was accused of fatally poisoning her husband, Eric Richins, with a lethal dose of fentanyl in March 2022. Prosecutors argued that Richins was motivated by money. Bloodworth's role was pivotal in securing the conviction of Kouri Richins for aggravated murder and fraudulently claiming insurance benefits. The case has garnered significant attention due to the unusual circumstances of an author writing about grief after allegedly causing her husband's death, making Bloodworth's successful prosecution a noteworthy event.
