Kouri Richins was found guilty of murdering her husband Eric Richins with fentanyl in Utah
A Utah jury convicted Kouri Richins on Monday of fatally poisoning her husband Eric Richins with fentanyl in March 2022. Prosecutors alleged she killed him to collect his $4 million estate while her house-flipping business was in debt and she was having an affair. Richins, who published a children's book about grief after her husband's death, was found guilty on all charges after about three hours of jury deliberation.
