Kouri Richins, a Utah woman convicted of fatally poisoning her husband with fentanyl, was sentenced to life without parole for murder on Wednesday.
The 35-year-old mother of three, who self-published a children's book on grieving following her husband's death in 2022, was found guilty on all counts in March following a weekslong trial. The Summit County jury reached a verdict after about three hours of deliberations.
Eric Richins, 39, was found dead in bed on March 4, 2022. An autopsy determined that he died from fentanyl intoxication, and the level of fentanyl in his blood was approximately five times the lethal dosage, according to the charging document.

The eldest son, identified by his initials as C.R., wanted the court to know that "my dad was a good person and very thoughtful and kind and helped whoever needed help," the filing stated.
Prosecutors said that the Utah Division of Child and Family Services supported a finding of emotional and physical abuse by Kouri Richins against C.R. following the death.
"I'm afraid if she gets out, she will come after me and my brothers, my whole family. I think she would come and take us and not do good things to us, like hurt us," the filing stated. "I miss my dad, but I do not miss how my life used to be, I don't miss Kouri, I will tell you that."

I remember when she went on morning shows all glowing and smiles with the hosts when talking about the book she wrote to help children get through their grief after losing a parent. I hope she never gets out of prison.
Children’s author Kouri Richins learns her fate for poisoning husband — after making defiant speech to judge
She was a murderer before she was an ‘author’.
"Women are nurturers."
“She was a murderer before she was an ‘author’.”
Trying to make money from both. She almost got away with it.
May God have mercy on both families. He would have been 44 today.
Wouldn’t a divorce be less complicated?
The articles explain why she didn’t want a divorce.
Exactly!
Ain’t no money in dat!............
Diabolical... It’s in her eyes... Her wheels are obviously turning in a very twisted way, and you don’t want to know what’s going on inside that head.
Evil incarnate.
Five foot two, Eyes of blue, Boy what those five feet can do! Has anybody seen my gal?????.............
Looks 5’4. I’d do it.
I figured two inches is hair.............
Am I with her?
It depends.
Who does she want to kill now?
“I miss my dad, but I do not miss how my life used to be, I don’t miss Kouri, I will tell you that.” Don’t blame you.
I am so uninvolved with illicit drugs that I don’t even know what fentanyl does to you. What would his end have been like?
She is horrible and did horrible things. She is also white.
The violent horrible criminals blsck and brown that leftists allow to run and terrify the country and citizens are a bigger threat to these children.
There are little Mamdanis popping up all around the country, and they’re openly avowed socialist Marxist ideology. This is something that we have never seen before in American history. This is about moving away from a constitutional republic to a communist utopian ideology, and that’s a dangerous thing for the future of the country.
I never came across the concept but one of the callers last night on Coast To Coast am said his father was murdered by a “serial poisoner.” The woman was later convicted. Reason for call was he had a “death sharing” incident of having the urge to call his father and on the other end a woman said: “We just got him into the ambulance. There’s an emergency. I can’t talk now.” The father apparently communicated a goodbye to his son.
By the way, serial killer poisoners are usually called “angels of death” in the healthcare field.
