SALT LAKE CITY — (SALT LAKE CITY) -- A Utah woman who is accused of poisoning her husband with a lethal dose of fentanyl was denied bail in a court appearance Monday as she awaits trial.
Kouri Richins, 33, was arrested in May and charged with aggravated murder and multiple counts of drug possession in connection with the death of her husband, Eric Richins, 39, who was found dead at the foot of their bed last year, according to the probable cause statement in the charging document. The mom of three authored a children's book on grief in the wake of her husband's death.
Kouri Richins was visibly emotional as O'Driscoll described the scene where her husband's body was found. O'Driscoll testified that Kouri Richins said she had attempted CPR on her husband, but an emergency medical technician told O'Driscoll on scene that Eric Richins began foaming at the mouth when they attempted CPR -- a sign no one else had tried to resuscitate him.
Ahead of the detention hearing in Park City, Richins' attorneys argued in recent court filings that the realtor should be eligible for bail because there is"no substantial evidence to support the charges." She allegedly said she went to sleep with one of their children who was having a night terror and returned to her and her husband's bedroom around 3 a.m., where she found him"cold to the touch," according to the charging document.
Kouri Richins' lawyers argued in the new filings that law enforcement never found fentanyl in their family home, and that there are"inconsistencies" in witness statements from someone reported to have been present at the alleged drug deal, including regarding dates and payments of the alleged pill transactions, between the initial and amended charging documents.
