Kouri Richins Convicted: The Rulings Inside This Trial That Could Fuel an Appeal

Kouri Richins has been convicted of aggravated murder. Her defense team preserved a record throughout this trial that now becomes the foundation for what comes next. Tony Brueski, defense attorney Bob Motta, and retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke break down what's in it.

The video of investigators telling Carmen Lauber they needed details to convict Kouri — the jury saw it and convicted anyway. The hearsay ruling that blocked testimony about Eric allegedly asking someone about obtaining fentanyl — a ruling the defense ultimately chose not to fight on the stand. The pill bottle that went to the medical examiner and was never returned — and the instruction the judge refused to give the jury about it. The Lauber informant instruction language a higher court may now be asked to scrutinize. Bob Motta identifies the real appellate targets. Robin Dreeke examines what the behavioral record of this case looks like on the other side of a conviction.
