Utah Headline Cases: Kouri Richins Conviction and an $81M Wrongful Death Verdict

Host Tyler Todd and co-host Jaren Sandberg discuss two major Utah cases: the nationally publicized Kouri Richins trial and a lesser-publicized but significant civil wrongful-death verdict. They describe Richins as convicted on all charges after prosecutors alleged she poisoned her husband, Eric, with a lethal fentanyl dose amid financial motives, life insurance, a prenuptial agreement, alleged prior poisoning attempts, and an affair; the defense presented no witnesses and argued the state failed to meet its burden, and an appeal is expected.
