Utah grief author to be sentenced for fentanyl murder of husband on his birthday
Kouri Richins, a Utah grief author, was convicted in March of aggravated murder, attempted aggravated murder, fraud and forgery in her husband Eric Richins’s 2022 death, which prosecutors say involved a lethal, illicit dose of fentanyl. She faces a life sentence without the possibility of parole for the aggravated murder charge, and prosecutors sought a standing protective order for Eric’s family—though a judge said he could not issue it under current law. Three children provided victim-impact statements describing fear if she is released. The sentencing follows weeks of trial testimony detailing alleged infidelity, a potential poisoning incident with a sandwich, and accounts from a housekeeper; Richins did not testify. Her grief-focused book Are You With Me? was removed from Amazon.
Programmable DNA nanorobots target cancer and viruses in the bloodstream
Scientists are turning DNA into programmable nanomachines that can move, sense, and deliver therapies, using DNA origami and strand displacement to create DNA robots that could autonomously seek out cancer cells or viruses in the bloodstream; while early demonstrations show targeted drug delivery and precise nanoparticle placement, major challenges remain in controlling motion, ensuring stability in the body, and scaling production for real-world medical use.
DOJ memo links Trump’s post-presidency docs to his business interests
An internal DOJ memo from former special counsel Jack Smith’s office, shared with the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, says Donald Trump kept documents relevant to his business interests after leaving the White House. The memo notes some classified materials were commingled with post-office documents and that only a handful of officials had access to particularly sensitive items. The findings come amid Smith’s investigations into mishandling classified materials and attempts to overturn the 2020 election, and could inform Senate hearings and calls for broader release of Smith’s full report; Democrats urge transparency, while Trump allies dispute the interpretation.
