Utah Woman Convicted of Murder in Fentanyl-Laced Death of Husband

A Utah jury found Kouri Richins guilty of first-degree aggravated murder, attempted aggravated murder, forgery and insurance fraud in the 2022 fentanyl-poisoning death of her husband, Eric Richins. Prosecutors alleged she killed him for financial gain, forged life-insurance paperwork, and staged an alibi, while the defense argued the death may have been an allergic reaction with insufficient evidence of foul play. Sentencing is set for May 13, with a potential sentence of 25 years to life.
