Eric Richins

Eric Richins is the deceased husband of Kouri Richins, a Utah woman currently on trial for his murder. He died in March 2022, and his wife, a mother of three and author of a children's book about grief, is accused of fatally poisoning him with fentanyl. The trial began recently, with prosecutors portraying Kouri Richins as motivated by money. The defense urges jurors to withhold judgment until they hear her side of the story. The case has garnered significant attention due to the circumstances surrounding Richins' death, the subsequent publication of the grief-themed children's book by his wife, and the accusations against her. The trial's outcome will determine whether Kouri Richins is found guilty of murdering her husband.
