Utah woman due in court for husband’s fentanyl poisoning case

A Utah mother, Kouri Richins, is facing a court hearing on Friday ahead of her murder trial next year for allegedly poisoning her husband, Eric Richins, with fentanyl in March 2022. Prosecutors claim she attempted to kill him twice, including a failed poisoning on Valentine’s Day, and had financial motives linked to a life insurance policy. Richins, who has pleaded not guilty, is also charged with mortgage fraud related to her realty business. She remains in jail after bail was denied and maintains her innocence in an audio recording.
