KSL's Inside Sources

After years of legal back-and-forth, Kouri Richins was sentenced to live in prison without parole for killing her husband Eric. In a bit of poetic justice, the sentencing took place on what would have been Eric's 44th birthday. Greg and Holly go into the details of the case and the legal timeline that led to this point.

Most Americans -- 71% according to a new poll -- seem to have a case of NIMBY-ism... "Not in My Backyard" ... when it comes to data center expansions. We've already talked a lot about the development in Box Elder County, but it's not just there -- this is a nationwide issue. It has a lot of people questioning -- even some on our Facebook page -- why political leaders are pushing so hard for these centers when the general public vehemently opposes them.

This evening, the names of two fallen police officers from Utah will be added to the National Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington, D.C. Tremonton-Garland Police Officer Eric Estrada and Sergeant Lee Sorensen both died in the line of duty last summer. Today, they'll join other officers from around the country who died in the last year, all while protecting their communities. Ahead of a major vigil tonight in our nation's capital, we're taking a closer look at policing in the state.

For some perspective on the state of policing, we're joined by recently retired Chief of Police in West Jordan, Ken Wallentine. Greg provides perspective on the legal challenges facing law enforcement officers. We then shift to a discussion on support for officers and their families; Utah Department of Public Safety Commissioner Beau Mason and Pat Evans, a member of the Utah Chapter of COPS (Concerns of Police Survivors) also join the conversation.

Many of you probably know the story of Gail Halvorsen -- a transport pilot in World War 2 who helped bring supplies to those trapped in West Berlin.

As President Trump heads to China for talks with President Xi Jinping, he says the ongoing financial situation affecting many Americans right now isn't a motivating factor for reaching a deal to end the war in Iran. The President made those comments as he left the White House for the high-stakes trip to China. Holly and Greg share their thoughts on the president's latest comments on the economy.

After a long, drawn-out process, the woman convicted of killing her husband with fentanyl -- then writing a book about grief -- is set to be sentenced today. Ahead of the sentencing for Kouri Richins, Inside Sources hears a powerful victim statement from one of Eric Richins' sisters. Greg offers legal thoughts on how the rest of the sentencing process will play out.

When someone speaks at a graduation, they're meant to inspire the graduates. But one real estate executive in Florida got an unexpected surprise when she decided to praise the expansion of artificial intelligence. Gloria Caulfield spoke at the commencement for the University of Central Florida, and let's just say… her message came off a bit tone-deaf.

Kevin O'Leary, the man backing the massive data center development in Box Elder County, continues to make some pretty serious claims about those who are opposed to the center. Most recently, he called out two Utah groups as working for China. One woman he specifically called out by name is Gabi Finlayson, Senior Partner at Elevate Strategies. She joins the show to dispel rumors that she's a Chinese spy, and tells Greg and Holly why she's opposed to the development.

One of the biggest discussions within the Utah political circles is that of Senator John Curtis' political future. Several rumors are swirling that Utah's junior senator may leave the Senate in two years and run for Governor. But other reports say he's happy where he is in the Senate.
