Kouri Richins Trial Begins — But the Defense Already Drew Blood

Kouri Richins Trial Begins — But the Defense Already Drew Blood

Kouri Richins goes to trial for the alleged fentanyl murder of her husband Eric in less than a week — and the prosecution's case may not be as airtight as it looked a year ago. The man who was supposed to prove the fentanyl supply chain has recanted. The lead detective faces witness intimidation allegations. Two prosecution experts were excluded. And 26 financial crime charges were severed from the case entirely.

Former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis joins True Crime Today to break down what the defense gained before the jury ever sat down. Robert Crozier now says under oath that he sold OxyContin, not fentanyl — and the pills were never recovered or forensically tested. Prosecutors dropped the drug distribution charges after that sworn affidavit. Faddis explains why that gap matters, how Detective O'Driscoll's alleged threats to a witness could undermine the investigation's credibility, and what it means that Judge Mrazik blocked the state's domestic violence expert and limited FBI profiler Molly Amman's role.

The defense lost two venue change requests in a county where 85 percent of residents had heard of the case. Jury selection wrapped in two days. Faddis walks through whether that rapid process helps or hurts Kouri — and identifies the single biggest card the defense holds heading into opening statements on February 23rd.
