Kouri Richins Trial Update: Court Documents Reveal Eric Suspected Poisoning for Years Before His Death
The Kouri Richins murder trial is underway in Park City, Utah—and the court documents paint a picture far more disturbing than the headlines suggest. According to prosecutors, Eric Richins didn't just die suddenly. He saw it coming. Court filings reveal he told his family that if anything happened to him, Kouri was to blame. His sister testified he believed Kouri tried to kill him during a trip to Greece years earlier. And on Valentine's Day 2022—just eighteen days before his death—Eric told two friends he thought his wife tried to poison him after a sandwich left him unable to breathe. So why didn't he leave? Family spokesman Greg Skordas put it simply: "I can give you three good reasons he stuck around and they're all under the age of ten." Eric had secretly changed his will, created a trust naming his sister as trustee, and removed Kouri as his life insurance beneficiary. He consulted divorce attorneys. But according to those close to him, he stayed because leaving meant handing his three sons to the very person he feared. Prosecutors allege Kouri was deeply in debt—over $4.5 million to more than 20 lenders—while Eric's estate was worth roughly $4 million. They say she was having an affair, texting her boyfriend "love you" just thirty minutes before allegedly handing Eric a fentanyl-laced drink. Kouri Richins has pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder, attempted aggravated murder, insurance fraud, and forgery. Her defense says there's "zero evidence" of how fentanyl entered Eric's system. The trial is expected to last through late March. We're tracking every development.
