What Was Kouri Richins Doing From Her Jail Cell This Entire Time?

Kouri Richins told her sons to forgive. Prosecutors say she spent every day before that speech attacking the people around this case from inside her jail cell — and the sentencing memo has all of it.

A fake dating profile made for the lead detective and posted online. What prosecutors call false reports filed against the family raising her boys. Hired a lawyer to go after her sister-in-law. Federal firearms charges pursued against Eric's father — for removing his dead son's guns to keep them safe. A marijuana report on Eric's sister. Bar complaints against the prosecutors that went nowhere. According to the memo, not one of those actions had merit. Every one had a name attached to it. Prosecutors called her character "irredeemable." Then she stood in court and preached forgiveness.

Cameras caught her scoffing and rolling her eyes while her own sons' impact statements were read. Those boys described locked rooms, dead animals, and taking care of each other because nobody else would. When her family took the podium and called her innocent, the tears showed up instantly — reserved entirely for herself.

On what would have been Eric Richins' forty-fourth birthday, Judge Mrazik sentenced her to life without parole. Kouri spoke for forty minutes. She told her boys to "be like your dad" — the man she was convicted of killing. She told them their memories were "an absolute lie." She told them to stop trusting the people keeping them safe. She didn't acknowledge a single word her children said.

After the conviction, prosecutors obtained a message Kouri sent to an "admirer" that ended with a winking emoji and five words: "They haven't seen anything yet."

One of her sons is nine. His message was shorter. "Once she is gone, I will feel happy."
