I have a friend that married a PoS. At her wedding she told our mutual friend that her now husband hits her. I believe she got married because she was scared of being alone even though we’re not old enough for that to be a real concern. A week or more later the mutual friend and I were playing cards at her parent’s. The topic of the husband came up and we pushed the topic to this. I said she told us that he hit her. It turns out that they knew but had the belief that there is never a valid reason to get divorced. I shut that shit down right away and surprisingly they sort of agreed.
She divorced him months later.
Point being some people have weird and dangerous beliefs about marriage
Her husband was worth 4 million. She wanted the money.
That’s not speculation, the prosecution showed a financial motive and the jury agreed.
Not that weird. Usually these types can’t shut the fuck about it.
The internet search history from Richins’s phone included “what is a lethal.dose.of.fetanayl” and “luxury prisons for the rich America”
Lmao
As a defense attorney I would’ve immediately declared my client mentally disabled and listed the search history as proof.
Good Lord. Pic of internet searches shown in court.
iPhind. Isn’t that from GTA5?
Big “Can u get pregante” vibes.
can youur husban.get pragnet from fentonall.pioiisoneng
This is why you should always google really funny shit before committing a crime.
“How to not incriminate myself but make the query so funny that it shows up in the court docs”
“The suspect had a dozen copies of a 10hr looped video of a man shattering a jar in his anus on their phone.”
Have fun watching that, detective.
“how to tell the police that you totally did it and leave every trace imaginable, for ipohen”
You misspelled iphind
Do you mean an iphkne? Common mistake tbf.
Is that an STD?
That would almost be as bad as writing a six page letter detailing all of your attempted witness tampering and accidentally having it found in your jail cell.
Which is a thing she did.
Look up the “Walk the dog” letter. It is one of the most unbelievably damning pieces of evidence you will ever see. The prosecution literally built their entire closing argument around it because it’s so bad that they can just discard the rest of their case and still win on that alone.
Never heard of this case before. Thank you for sharing, for anyone else I think this is a link to the letter mentioned:
https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23980331-kouri-richins-walk-the-dog-letter/
For anyone who needs context, because on its face this is a confusing document, the actual letter was intended to be delivered to her mother. It conscripts said mother into a detailed scheme of witness tampering heavily involving her brother. Kouri concocts a fake history of drug use for her dead husband with numerous details designed to create reasonable doubt and open up the idea that her husband was a habitual fentanyl user, while explaining away the fact that no drugs were found in their home. She also implores her mother to send photos of her nieces to the press as an implicit threat against one of Eric’s sisters (Eric’s family were pretty firmly in the “She killed him” camp at this point). The large “Walk the dog!” heading, along with other notes throughout, is understood to be an instruction to get out of the house before reading the letter and then to dispose of it somewhere safely.
How do you be so stupid you think that people are reading the letter you sent from jail over the recipient’s shoulder but not before delivery
Lmao I followed this trial start to finish but mainly listened to it in the background podcast-style so I didn’t see most of the closing slides. Didn’t realize how many typos were in those searches haha.
She also searched for her own net worth, which is super embarrassing.
That’s interesting. On the surface one might assume she’s just dumb and doesn’t understand how to assess her finances, but I wonder if there’s more to it; maybe she already knew her net worth (or didn’t particularly care), but wanted to know what other people say her net worth is.
Ngl, if I had “people googling my net worth” money, I’d check at least once lol
She didn’t. She was in the hole $1.5M. There’s a whole series of fraud cases which are basically her singled-handed personal ponzi scheme of bad loans that are still pending trial.
What is it with these people? One thing is just never enough. If she had just killed her husband that’s fine, if he was just scamming people that’s fine, but if you can’t stick to one crime at a time honey you’re gonna get caught 👁️👄👁️💅🏾
They don’t think anything is their fault.
In her mind her husband was probably awful and abusive for not bailing out her 1.5million in debt.
I’ve dated women like this. Had a few break ups where I was told how awful horrible man I was for not paying off her debts for her. The irony was I had no money… but she thought I did… god I had one lady I was dating a month who started asking me to pay off her car loan and when I said no she threatened to beat me up.
And the scary part is lots of people who are like this are out there, and people like them because they are so superficially charming and sociable. It’s only once you have a legitimate relationship with them that the crazy starts to show, and for some people, they can’t walk away and can’t see the red flags due to the charm.
Causality is hard at work; as certain as death and taxes.
She tried to kill him once before and failed, and he not only stayed together but continued to let her get near his food and drink? My guy…
Maybe they were Mormons. Their views on marriage are kinda…unique.
“yeah it’s risky but that I can beat that pussy up like Muhammad Ali and drive her wild even after I’m done with her sister so it’s a fair trade”
Some kinks are unhealthy
Mushroom lady ex hubby ate food from her for yonks after he suspected she had started poisoning him.
The only justice for these people is to poison them a little bit sometimes so they are suspicious of their food for the rest of their lives.
Sex must have been amazing
The crazy ones are usually pretty good at it.
That fucking bitch! He was really hot!
Justice was done
They’re both average homie
Not in the Supreme Court, you piece of shit
Calm down man, lol
Why? Who the fuck are you to tell me what to do?
Reminds me of “‘How to murder your husband’ writer sentenced for murdering husband”
Real OJ Simpson “If I did it” vibes.
Or I Killed Darnell Simmons by the legendary rapper Gun Rack.
At least she didn’t name it “How to murder your husband and get away with it”.
Hey when you do something its a good idea to benefit from it in all ways possible.
And of course it happened in Utah - the Florida of the West.
Defendant’s first name checks out.
(Kouri)
what are you trying to say?
Mormon culture is prevalent in Utah, and for some reason they have a peculiar obsession with weird names and spellings.
Gotcha - thanks for the explanation. Although I read her alleged notes from jail and - as suspected - she sounds in parts like someone with a borderline personality disorder. Definitely in need of treatment. Somehow I have my doubts that’ll be provided in jail.
She was also convicted of other felonies, including attempted murder for trying to poison her husband weeks earlier on Valentine’s Day with a fentanyl-laced sandwich that made him black out.
Look, I don’t want to blame the victim here, but I probably wouldn’t let my wife make me a cocktail if she once gave me a sandwich so strong I blacked out.
Munchausen syndrome.
I don’t see how. Munchausen syndrome is where you pretend to be or make yourself sick for the attention.
Can’t write books without doing some research, I guess?
Write what you know.
digital forensic analyst
Of course this is a thing already
That’s been a thing for decades… Who do you think goes through the data on seized computers?
I thought some normal prosecuter/police guy
Forensics is scientific analysis. Prosecutors and police don’t perform medical forensics and never have.
oh yeah a lawyer and a cop, the very best at using tech
Lmao, right up there with doctors.
Nah, they barely know how to send an email in most cases. It’s a specialized role with specialized knowledge. 🙂 Congrats on being one of today’s lucky 10000!
I wonder if her lover knew. They were already planning a future with the money she thought she would get from the insurance.
Oh so it’s not Erika Kirk… This time
Someone who is good with .gifs needs to add the coffee pouring right out his neck.
Interestingly, the same defense team who defended Kouri Richins (the Utah mom) is defending the guy who killed Charlie Kirk.
The psychology of this case, and other cases like it, is really baffling. The article didn’t go into much detail except mentioning the prior attempt, the millions of dollars of life insurance, and her cover story about him being addicted to opioids.
When investigators found those details the picture must have became clear.
What causes one person in a long-term relationship to off the other one? Why not just, you know, do what everyone else does and divorce? I’m sure being a divorcee sucks but it can’t be as bad as a convicted aggravated murderer who will live life behind bars
People tell themselves stories to rationalize everything. Some make sense to most people, some dont. The story this lady told herself to enable her to murder her husband instead of just divorcing him is surely going to sound insane.
You assume the relationship was the cause, and that it wasn’t just an underlying latent psychopathic person.
Lots psychopaths don’t start killing people well into adulthood, and otherwise lead normal lives.
Money. He was worth 4 million. And had multiple life insurance policies, which she tried to make herself the sole beneficiary of before killing him.
She, on the other hand, was carrying 4.5 million in debt.
Fun fact, he wrote her out of his will. So even if she’d gotten away with the murder, she still got nothing.
Needed material for the sequel?
