Kouri Richins, author of a children’s book on grief, gets life sentence for killing her husband

Ding Ding!

What's wrong with you?

What part of this definition do you disagree with? evil /ē′vəl/ # adjective 1. Morally bad or wrong; wicked. "an evil tyrant."

Hold up did you just call the guy that knew his wife was trying to take him out for months Smart and observant when he literally stayed and got taken out? That's the opposite. That's Observant and compliant or negligent or something. If I knew for a fact my wife was trying to end so much so that I felt the need to take her off my life insurance policy I wouldn't be sleeping in the same house or eating/drinking anything she gives me.

1000% agree. I’m a true crime podcast junkie and the podcasts that stick with me the most are the ones where a spouse warns other people to look at the other if they die. I can’t imagine living that nightmare.

Eric Richins put his assets into a living trust for his kids and named his sister as trustee. He did this because he found out Kouri had withdrawn $100,000 from his bank accounts, borrow $30,000 from his credit cards, borrowed money using a fraudulent power of attorney, and opened a bank account with a revolving line of credit and borrowed $250,000. She opened the account with a deed of trust that she'd signed Eric's name to. Kouri kill Eric on March 3, 2022. She wasn't arrested until May 8, 2023. She could have burned through a lot of money in that year if Eric hadn't safeguarded it for his sons with that living trust.

Right, but if her original plan succeeded then there would be no "Slayer Rule" to enforce. His death would've been ruled an overdose. He prevented that possible scenario with the trust and naming his sister as trustee

Listen to the Dateline episode called Book of Lies. It really doesn’t answer that question but what I perceive is that it was complicated. She had put them deeply in debt and was basically running a shady house flipping business and scamming people out of money/running a Ponzi scheme. He had more assets than her, and it appears to me from the podcast that he really didn’t figure out what was going on until closer to his death. Something must have happened a year and half before that triggered him to make the change to his will, but in that time, she would go on and try to kill him a total of 3x! But they were celebrating a “win” for her business when she handed him that drink. I feel the worst for her two young boys and the manipulative shit she said to them in her statement.

Lots of therapy over the years

I guess, but that was a really big gamble, since it is pretty rare for a defendant to testify.

It was released on 05/11 and they have 3 lawyers on the team.

I understand

Got it. Weird enough always has potential for the worst of the worst, ya just never know.
