THE GRIEF AUTHOR GETS LIFE: KOURI RICHINS SENTENCED ON ERIC'S BIRTHDAY

May 19, 2026·20 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Daily Crime and Justice returns from its two-week vacation hiatus with an entire episode devoted to one case: the sentencing of Kouri Richins. In March, a Utah jury convicted the children’s grief-book author of murdering her husband, Eric, with a lethal dose of fentanyl. Last week, on what would have been Eric’s 44th birthday, a judge sentenced Richins to life without parole. Garret Fisher recaps the case, walks through a wrenching sentencing hearing where three young sons asked a judge to keep their mother imprisoned forever, and examines Richins’ defiant, tearless courtroom statement — a self-described love letter that never once said sorry.Join our new FB groups page here.
