Kouri Richins Trial Preview: What Both Sides Bring to Five Weeks of Testimony

Kouri Richins Trial Preview: What Both Sides Bring to Five Weeks of Testimony

The Kouri Richins murder trial is here and the case is as contested as it is disturbing. Prosecutors allege she poisoned Eric with fentanyl twice — once in a sandwich, once in a Moscow Mule that killed him. Five times the lethal dose. Google searches for lethal fentanyl levels and luxury prisons. Texts about wanting Eric to "just go away." Nearly two million in life insurance allegedly taken out without his knowledge. Defense attorney Bob Motta says the prosecution's case has vulnerabilities they can't ignore. The key supplier recanted — now saying he sold OxyContin, not fentanyl, while detoxing. No pills ever recovered. Abuse evidence excluded by the judge. A jail cell letter partially admitted despite the defense calling it manuscript fiction. And Kouri's mother Lisa Darden — whose romantic partner died of an oxycodone overdose in 2006 after naming her as beneficiary — was present the night Eric died. Motta previews every battleground the jury will face.
