Closing arguments in the case against Kouri Richins began and ended on Monday. She is accused of spiking a Moscow mule and serving it to her husband, Eric, who investigators say died from a fentanyl overdose. The state claimed that Kouri intended to kill her husband using illicit street drugs, but the defense argued that prosecutors failed to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt.

The Defense closing is near comedy…if it wasn’t such a tragedy! It’s convoluted.
Nothing and more nothing that makes sense from them.
Nothing.
THAT IS CORRECT!! THAT WAS THE MOMENT SHE REALIZED THAT SHE HAD KILLED HER HUSBAND…THAT IT WAS NOT A GAME,THAT SHE ACTUALITY REALIZED THAT HE WAS GONE FOREVER…AND SHE WAS IN BIG TROUBLE!!😢
BUT ONE THING I KNOW FOR SURE: WHEN PEOPLE CRY TEARS ROLL DOWN OUR EYES..BUT KOURI ALWAYS COVERED HER EYES AND LIKE AN ACTRESS SHE CATED AND PRETENDED THAT SHE WAS CRYING…I NEVER SAW ANY TEARS, DID YOU??
Not a single one! I’ve lost a spouse to cancer almost 30 years ago. I was with him when it happened and it was a soul changing experience. The way he stared at me while on a vent and then he looked up as if he was seeing something, he then let go. Then, I lost our daughter to suicide 5 years ago. I didn’t cry right away because I was processing it. I let out a blood curdling scream when I was called by the hospital. I wanted to bang my head on the floor to confirm that it was real.
I miss them both, so much. I pick up ZERO sadness from Kouri. Zero sadness that her husband is dead, and zero sadness for her children’s loss.
The entire prosecution closing/rebuttal is flawless but I love his opening lines.
And when he goes over the 911 call. I am sure that 99% of people who listen to her call agree that she sounds like she’s fake crying and definitely faking the cpr compressions.
And pointing out that her written statement to police she began detailing the incident at 9/9:30 when they had a drink. She told on herself.
She told on herself so many times and she still has the gall to act like she is the smartest person in the room. 2 masters degrees? She paid for them. I can’t even get over how someone starts/owns a business without using Quickbooks or accounting software.
Flawless work, Mr. Bloodworth and staff.
44:26 no way would i sit there and not have ANY reaction to someone saying such horrible things about me and especially say i dd that to my husband! I would be incapable F NOT SHOWING EMOTION!
Now this is my judge
good
