some more quotes from the new york times
Forensic analysis of burner phones used by Ms. Richins showed searches for “women utah prison,” “can cops.uncover deleted.messages iphone,” “if someone is poisned what does it go down on the death certificate as,” “how long does life insurance companies takento.pay” and “what is a lethal.does.of.fetanyl.”
Prosecutors said that weeks earlier, on Valentine’s Day, she had tried to kill him by poisoning his favorite type of sandwich with fentanyl. Mr. Richins became extremely ill that day but recovered after using Benadryl and an EpiPen, charging documents said. Afterward, Ms. Richins asked the housekeeper, Carmen Lauber, for “something stronger,” Ms. Lauber told prosecutors, specifically asking for “the Michael Jackson stuff.”
Ms. Richins’s lawyers argued that Mr. Richins was addicted to painkillers and had asked his wife to buy painkillers for him; they suggested he may have overdosed. They argued Mr. Richins could have purchased the drugs himself, and contended during the trial that there was no evidence that showed how Mr. Richins had ingested the fentanyl. Detective Jeff O’Driscoll, the lead investigator on the case, testified that law enforcement authorities did not find evidence of fentanyl on any glasses or straws in the home.
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
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…
Some kinks are unhealthy
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”
Sex must have been amazing
Oh so it’s not Erika Kirk… This time
Interestingly, the same defense team who defended Kouri Richins (the Utah mom) is defending the guy who killed Charlie Kirk.
Someone who is good with .gifs needs to add the coffee pouring right out his neck.
And of course it happened in Utah - the Florida of the West.
Defendant’s first name checks out.
(Kouri)
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.
Big “Can u get pregante” vibes.
“how to tell the police that you totally did it and leave every trace imaginable, for ipohen”
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.
It could only be worse if that letter included instructions to make threats against someone’s children.
Oh. It 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.
You misspelled iphind
Do you mean an iphkne? Common mistake tbf.
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 👁️👄👁️💅🏾
Reminds me of “‘How to murder your husband’ writer sentenced for murdering husband”
At least she didn’t name it “How to murder your husband and get away with it”.
Real OJ Simpson “If I did it” vibes.
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
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.
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.
Needed material for the sequel?
Can’t write books without doing some research, I guess?
Write what you know.
Hey when you do something its a good idea to benefit from it in all ways possible.
That fucking bitch! He was really hot!
Justice was done
They’re both average homie
Not in the Supreme Court, you piece of shit
