In Day 2 of testimony in the Kouri Richins Trial, the jury heard from key witnesses, including the Medical Examiner, who laid out crucial forensic evidence regarding the death of Eric Richins. The Medical Examiner testified that Eric Richards' cause of death was drug intoxication by fentanyl (fentanyl poisoning/overdose). His system contained a toxic level of fentanyl and norfentanyl, despite no history of abuse. Due to the ongoing investigation at the time she concluded her report (prior to her retirement), the Medical Examiner ruled the manner of death as undetermined.

The ME's testimony concluded, setting the stage for a toxicologist to take the stand to elaborate on the concentration of drugs and the critical difference between stomach contents and blood levels—which will be vital for establishing a timeline of ingestion and death. Tomorrow, we expect the cross-examination of the CSI witness.
