Kouri Richins Trial Starts February 2026: Full Breakdown of Prosecution vs. Defense

Kouri Richins Trial Starts February 2026: Full Breakdown of Prosecution vs. Defense

After nearly three years in the Summit County Jail, Kouri Richins finally faces a jury on February 23rd, 2026. Jury selection begins February 10th. The trial is expected to last five weeks. And the case heading into that courtroom is dramatically different from the one prosecutors presented at her arrest. This episode is a complete breakdown of where things stand — what the prosecution has left, what the defense has won, and what the jury will actually see. We cover the Robert Crozier recantation and why the fentanyl supply chain is now in question. We explain why 26 financial charges were severed and why that evidence won't reach the murder jury. We go through the expert witnesses who were blocked or limited — including the domestic violence psychologist and FBI profiler. We detail the "Walk the Dog" letter, the orange notebook, and the suppressed statements from the 2022 search. We break down the venue fight that went all the way to the Utah Supreme Court and why Summit County residents will decide this case despite defense arguments that 80% of them already know who Kouri Richins is. Eric Richins died March 4th, 2022, with five times the lethal dose of fentanyl in his system. Prosecutors say Kouri poisoned his drink to cash in on his estate. The defense says the state can't prove she ever had fentanyl in her hands. This is the most comprehensive pretrial breakdown available — everything you need to know before opening statements.
