Utah mother Kouri Richins convicted of killing husband with fentanyl-laced drink; sentenced to 25 years to life.
Kouri Richins, a Utah mother of three, was convicted of aggravated murder and related charges for allegedly poisoning her husband, Eric Richins, with illicit fentanyl in March 2022.
A Summit County jury found her guilty after a three-week trial, concluding she administered a lethal dose—five times the lethal amount—via a drink and attempted to kill him earlier with a fentanyl-laced sandwich on Valentine’s Day.
Prosecutors said she acted for financial gain, citing a $100,000 insurance policy obtained with a forged signature and financial strain from her house-flipping business.
She faces 25 years to life in prison, with sentencing set for May 13.
The defense presented no witnesses, and a close friend testified, expressing shock and grief, describing Eric as a devoted father and loving husband.
Richins also faces multiple charges in a separate case involving mortgage fraud, money laundering, and bad checks.
