Kouri Richins Trial Week 1: Defense Finds Massive Evidence Gaps

Prosecutors say Kouri Richins murdered her husband Eric with a fentanyl-laced Moscow mule. But those copper mugs were never tested for fentanyl. The nanny washed them the next morning.

That's the kind of evidentiary gap that's emerging in week one of this Utah murder trial—and defense attorney Eric Faddis explains why it matters.

The crime scene wasn't properly secured. The kitchen where the drinks were made wasn't searched. White specks on Eric's nightstand—visible in photos—were never analyzed. The medical examiner testified the manner of death is still "undetermined" on the death certificate. Chelsea Gipson, the crime scene tech, found no drugs on her initial visit, but investigators kept searching the home over four years, finding more evidence each time.

The defense is building a case around what wasn't done, what wasn't tested, and what can't be proven. Faddis, who has worked as both prosecutor and defense attorney, breaks down why circumstantial evidence—even overwhelming circumstantial evidence—might not be enough when the physical proof is missing.

Can the prosecution's motive evidence survive these investigative failures?
