Utah mother convicted of fentanyl murder of husband, could face life in prison

A Utah jury found Kouri Richins guilty of murder and related charges in the 2022 fentanyl poisoning death of her husband, Eric Richins, including attempted murder, forgery, and two counts of life insurance fraud; sentencing could be life in prison without parole on May 13. Prosecutors argued motive tied to debt, a desire to keep up appearances, and a failed attempt to kill him earlier, while the defense said the investigation was biased and she was wrongfully blamed.
