Utah Mom Accused of Killing Husband and Writing Grief Book to Appear in Court

Kouri Richins, a Utah woman who wrote a children's book about coping with grief after her husband's death, is scheduled to appear in court to determine whether she should remain detained or have an opportunity to post bail. She is charged with murder and drug possession for allegedly poisoning her husband with fentanyl. Prosecutors say she slipped five times the lethal dose of fentanyl into a cocktail she made for her husband amid marital disputes and fights over a multimillion-dollar mansion. The case has become a true-crime fixation, and if it goes to trial, it could hinge largely on an unidentified informant who prosecutors say sold Richins the drugs that medical examiners later found in her husband's system.
