On Tuesday, Judge Richard Mrazik determined that prosecutors had provided sufficient evidence during Kouri Richins&#8217; preliminary hearing to move forward with a jury trial. She is facing multiple felony charges for allegedly administering a fatal dose of fentanyl to her husband in March 2022 at their home near Park City. Prosecutors claim that the 34-year-old Kouri Richins added five times the lethal amount of the synthetic opioid into a Moscow mule cocktail consumed by her husband, Eric Richins, who was 39 years old. Kouri maintains her innocence and pleaded &#8220;not guilty&#8221; to all 11 charges on Tuesday. The second day of her preliminary hearing also addressed an additional attempted murder charge from March, which alleges she put fentanyl in her husband&#8217;s favorite sandwich on Valentine&#8217;s Day, resulting in a severe but nonfatal reaction. Summit County Prosecutor Brad Bloodworth argued that Kouri learned from this initial attempt at harming her husband and used that knowledge when she allegedly carried out the fatal act just over two weeks later<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2331935,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/0d82a75496554dca8fa2558f8545bc28-scaled.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[12730,39447,7204,39448],"class_list":["post-2331934","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-author","tag-childrens-books","tag-crime","tag-trial-news"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/0d82a75496554dca8fa2558f8545bc28-scaled.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2331934","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2331934"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2331934\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2331935"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2331934"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2331934"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2331934"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
