Sons of Utah mom killer say they’d feel unsafe if she’s released

Sons of Utah author Kouri Richins, convicted in March of murdering her husband with fentanyl and other alleged crimes, told prosecutors they would feel unsafe if she were released as she faces decades to life in prison. Prosecutors allege Richins drugged her husband in 2022 and attempted to poison him on Valentine’s Day, with broader financial foul play also alleged; the children—then 9, 11, and 13—stated fear of her release and a desire for her to remain jailed. The sentencing hearing is scheduled to coincide with what would have been the husband’s 44th birthday.
