It’s the prosecution’s headline claim: Kouri Richins killed her husband to collect a $2 million life insurance payout. But behind that bold narrative lies a big question—does the state have the hard evidence to prove it?

In this episode, Eric Faddis, a former prosecutor turned defense attorney, joins Tony Brueski to assess whether the case against Kouri is as airtight as it sounds—or whether it’s built on inference, not forensic certainty. We dig into the alleged failed poisoning attempt on Valentine’s Day, suspicious Google searches, financial fraud, and the toxicology report that confirmed a lethal dose of fentanyl. But even with all that, is it enough?

Faddis explains what jurors need to see to convict someone of first-degree murder—and how the defense might use the complexity of Kouri’s financial history, the circumstantial timeline, and a lack of eyewitnesses to argue for doubt.

Could this be another media-hyped trial that loses traction in the courtroom? Or is the digital trail and financial motive enough to seal the deal?

We break it down step-by-step in one of the most dissected poison cases in recent memory.
