Kouri Richins Trial Day 2 FULL BREAKDOWN: Autopsy, Body Cam, 3D Crime Scene Tour

Everything that happened on Day 2 of the Kouri Richins murder trial in Summit County, Utah.

The prosecution called first responders, medical examiners, and crime scene technicians. Dr. Pamela Sue Ulmer confirmed autopsy results: Eric Richins died of a fentanyl overdose, several times the lethal amount. No evidence of injury. Ethanol and quetiapine were also found in his stomach.

Deputy Vincent Nguyen's body camera footage from March 4, 2022, showed Kouri Richins distraught in the doorway asking, "He's going to be OK, right?" She mentioned Eric had Lyme disease and may have taken a THC gummy. Under cross-examination, the defense revealed Nguyen never entered the kitchen and didn't bag an empty hydrocodone bottle from Eric's nightstand.

AEMT Margaret Offret described blood coming from Eric's mouth during CPR. His blood sugar was abnormally high. She didn't know why.

Crime scene technician Chelsea Gipson walked the jury through a Matterport 3D scan of the Richins home—room by room. Judge Richard Mrazik admitted evidence including four cell phones, THC edibles, prescription medications, and tweezers.

The defense highlighted gaps: glassware went through the dishwasher, white specks weren't tested, the kitchen wasn't entered, and investigators searched the house as recently as two weeks ago.

Prosecutors allege Kouri was $4.5 million in debt, had a boyfriend, and bought fentanyl from housekeeper Carmen Lauber. Kouri Richins is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
