Sons urge lifelong imprisonment for Utah mother in fentanyl killing case

Ahead of her sentencing in Utah, Kouri Richins’ three sons urged the judge to keep their mother behind bars after she was convicted of murdering their father with fentanyl, saying they would feel unsafe if she were released. Prosecutors seek a life sentence without parole, noting she allegedly planned to inherit more than $4 million, opened multiple life insurance policies on her husband, and even attempted a fentanyl‑laced sandwich on Valentine’s Day; Richins faces decades to life on five felonies, plus a separate money‑related case.
