Vinnie, I think Kouri’s defense attorney is shady!
She could have written a book about divorce, but no. Greed and money made her do this. Prayers for his family.
right! what a psycho
Some people want more and more it will never be enough i hope she gets life
The only thing that was in that woman’s mind was money. My heart goes out to the kids. What an awful situation for them. That’s putting it lightly.
"Mommy's Orange Jumpsuit" will be the name of her next book.
I think she is totally guilty
You’re thinking is 💯 %
I wonder 🧐 …..is there really anyone out here that actually believes she is innocent?
@@jomolandThere’s people out there that believe Bryan Kohberger is innocent, two very different cases but similar in how the evidence is so stacked against them that it’s impossible to think they didn’t do it. These people are called conspiracy theorists
Ditto! TOTALLY GUILTY. Evidence is overwhelming!
@@kinnyg27I have friends like that, like Robert Blake didn’t do the 🎶crime or the time 🎶, that it was Brando. It doesn’t matter how much evidence, they get their mind set. I cannot share and enjoy my true crime watching hobby with them. 😂
Funniest part is she wrote "Attorney Privilege" on the envelope with the letter, and is now trying to claim the letter was improperly obtained because it was privileged. Sorry Kouri, you can't just write "Attorney Privilege" on something, and magically make it privileged. I mean, cmon! 🤣
She thinks she is smarter and no criminals haven’t tried this before. Jail guard know what they are doing! 😂
Unbelievably evil and stupid. I just feel so bad for the kids.
Yes you can. That’s more than declassifying SCI information from the White House.
She has Trump syndrome and thinks just because she said it was classified and privileged that makes it so 😂😂😂
You can. You are the stupid one, you still have rights while incarcerated, and attorney client privilege is one of them.
When someone feels that ANYONE is out to murder you it should be taken very seriously. By family and friends and especially the police. If I felt my husband wanted to murder me, I damn sure wouldn’t drink some thing that he made for me. Sad situation. I hope she never gets out.
I feel so much for this man and his children and other living loved ones. ❤ 🙏 It's just not fair how he left this world and how this non-human gets to complain/or ask for teeth whitener or anything forr that matter.
@@boowill7509 Right? Her f ing teeth needs strips? She is a really sick individual. With this new evidence I don’t know how she think she has a snowball chance in hell.
It's more likely that she sabotaged a drink he had already made. Maybe his back was turned, maybe he went to visit the loo and she she spiked the drink.
Where I live, the police don't care and they won't help you until after you've been murdered. Then they might consider investigating. Might.
You'd be surprised how easy it is for people to convince themselves that they're overreacting. That's probably what he did and it's heartbreaking.
poor guy :( this is a lesson: NEVER STAY FOR THE KIDS! he knew she was poisoning him :( he deserved better! now 2 kids have lost both parents, 2 families destroyed :(
Correction: They have 3 sons.
He was being really stupid! Sorry but, facts! How stupid could you be!!! He should have moved out with his children or something smh
Kourie Richins keeps doing crooked stuff and getting caught. She wrote this letter to her mother. Is this how she was raised to handle her business?
Yes that’s why she’s like this
She’s a baby in big girl panties
The fact that she knew she couldn't send the letter via a normal way in jail already speaks volumes. She knew that the contents were incriminating/untrue/eyebrow raising.
You don't want prosecution to know how you are preparing or whom will be witnesses. Trial is a game and if the person knowing your moves ahead you will lose.
Wow. Kouri and her lawyer are something else.
During her trial she'll be wearing a turtleneck sweater eyeglasses and a crucifix
Yes! And hair in a bun.
Amber turd style.
It chills me that she is doing that "look at the passed out pictures of him on my phone" tactic. My husband works his ass off and falls asleep with the kids in all sorts of places, playing on the floor, reading in a chair, watching movies together. For her to use those intimate, tired out, hard working dad moments for her own sick benefit is nauseating. This man was a stone mason! I hope those boys get the love and therapy they will most certainly need after this demon ruined their lives.
And why was she filming him like that? Would a loving, caring wife film her husband like that? Was she thinking, “I might be able to use this one day”?
Makes one wonder why Amber Heard was taking all those pics of JDepp asleep in chairs or having 'nodded off' with ice cream running down his legs.Perhaps they take those pics to show the person was at risk of a lethal overdose. They can feign innocence and collect the big bucks and/or freedom from a man they no longer want in their pathetic lives.
Same thing that Amber Heard did to Johnny Depp.
Not that this applies to him but when you are living with an addict or have one you are very close with in the family or even a good friend you take pictures because they nod out all the time and they DO NOT believe they are doing it. It will happen in mid conversation! They will be smoking a cigarette and nod off and burn themselves or furniture nod off while driving! And yeah you take pictures and videos to show them in hopes that they will be disgusted and get help. Nodding off and passing out is not the same as falling asleep for those of you who don’t know it’s totally different. I was very naïve in my 20s my husband worked his butt off doing drywall and he would pass out sitting on the floor smoking a cigar or cigarette and burn himself or the carpet and I’d think ohhh my poor husband works so hard.. he was on opiates!! Haa found out years later when it got really bad!
So her mother and brother would help her lie ⁉️ I don’t understand why he drank anything from her because he told someone he think’s she’s trying to kill him😢
Sounds like she expected HER OWN BROTHER to go to prison door her? What a manipulative evil person
I highly doubt he did drink anything she brought him. That's only her story and the police did not get a glass into evidence. I suspect she made a meal, one he thought she was serving the kids and that's how she killed him.
They were FIGHTING that night - dude is not going to accept anything she hands him.
oooh i hate the fake crying in court!!!
No way her lawyer told her to do this. She thinks she can outsmart everyone. This is going to bite her in the ass.
What was this guy thinking. He knew his wife was trying to kill him and he did nothing to stop it. Damn.
Men that love their wives and children and wants to keep their family in one piece, are always in denial that their wives would ever do such a thing. Then, it becomes too late.
I know. And to take a drink from her. I wonder how many actual times she offered him a laced drink
Julie Jensen died the same way. She thought her husband was poisoning her. He was.
@@tab8896he told friends that she tried to poisoned him 3 different times .
Probably hoping she'd stop,she's tried many times to do it
I do not believe her lawyer said to do this. More like…Kori said the Mexico thing and her lawyer says we can’t use that as a defense unless we have a link of some sort. And she then went out and tried to get that link.
Agreed
Exactly!
🎯
Tried to *_invent_* that link.
Yup right on the money
It’s not easy to put a spouse out of the home during divorce litigation. The real question is why was she procuring fentanyl and moving large sums of money out of his bank accounts.
Her phone proved she was active on her phone before and after his death, not in her child’s room for a nightmare.
The nightmare was a greedy self seeking woman murdering her sons father as he laid choking and dying in the next room.
Oh yeah, she was awake taunting and watching him die in the bedroom….. she would never have missed that!
It was his money and success that she fell in love with, it WAS ALWAYS ALL ABOUT HIS MONEY and stature in the community.
If she wrote this letter knowing that her lawyer was going to read it, would she have added the part about "outing" her nieces by sending pictures anonymously to the press? Surely she would want her legal team to believe that she was a good, kind person...not a vindictive pos. That's what really showed her true colours, the nastiness at the end.
If her husband had died tragically of an overdose, and if she had loved her husband and loved her young children who had lost their father, would she have been showing so much hatred toward her husband’s family from the moment of his death? The hatred she expresses in this letter toward her husband’s sisters is scary. THAT is what she felt toward her husband too. She didn’t want him, she wanted what he had. She stupidly gives herself away.
Surely a hair follicle test of the victim Eric will determine whether he was a long term addict and long term user of fent as Kouri claims, or if he was poisoned as a one time event. In terms of toxicology the body truly does keep the score, and hair follicle tests will reveal a lot which I'm sure the prosecution will use as their ace.
I know someone like this. A sociopath obsessed with money. Money is nice but if your life revolves around it then you're missing out on what's supposed to matter.
She is totally screwed!!!!
Her already knowing how to pass secret messages to tamper with witnesses, and flush other letters down the toilet before they are found show that she is a proper criminal. She knows how to play the game. Lock her the eff up.
Korie RICHEN IS A NEW LOW. Love COURT TV AND ALL THE LAWYERS AND REPORTERS..
Anyone else think “walk the dog” is code for something? It’s written in huge letters and seems odd to include with the rest of the letter.
I have trouble understanding why he’d accept any food and drink from her suspecting being poisoned, then telling his sisters that if anything happens to him, to investigate Kouri….
Yes, that is very strange!
Keep in mind that was her story
The police couldn’t find any residue in the mugs she served him a drink in.
She could have put it in any type of food or drink when Eric wasn’t looking 😢
Why in the hell people do such evil to one another I’ll never understand. And they think they’ll get away with it is even MORE stupid.
I LOVE watching you, Vinnie! You say,
OUTLOUD, the things we are all thinking!!!!! You are brilliant! I love it!! New to true crime….you guys are the best!!!! Thank you for breaking these cases down for newbies like me!!!
Prosecutors are loving this just 1 more crime stacked up against her if your telling the truth ya don't have to have family friends lie for ya 😂K.R. acting like all this is just a misunderstanding her lawyer must be thanking her for making their job much harder to defend her😮😂😂
I think she just confirmed a life sentence or death penalty.
@@brendaford5542 IKR 😂😂
In her letter, she never once mentions her 3 children. She is only worried about herself
She took out life insurance on them too 🤔
she should probably never use a writing utensil again. including a typewriter, computer, etc.
Guilty
Guys, if she spells it “Kouri” - RUN!
In her defense she didn't name herself lol but he should have anyway
😂 I'd be scared to have her in my house period 😅
Wow she's unbelievable!
I would not mind but she had a ghost writer for her children's book. What a tool. I will say there's nothing wrong with separate bank accounts. She had a business afterall.
Gulity
How do these crazy women find these good men. Then kill them. Unbelievable.
Hopefully the wife of the victim would get death penalty or life behind bars for good! That’s justice! I don’t want to see another slap on the wrist verdict just like what happened to that criminal wife who killed her husband, the guy who had so many snakes? I forget his name.
Yes I need to go look at that again, they need to give her life without parole
I don't care if she sent it in a bottle down by the seashore it's still incriminating 😮😮
When will trial begin?
Maybe the dopey judge will stop treating her like Mother Teresa now.
Right lol that's funny, he needs to more firmer, he was being 2 nice to a Killer
Nonsensical ideas anyway..why in the hell if it was even true that Eric indeed was using and receiving drugs.. would he send written statement text messages to HER BROTHER sounding almost as a confessional. Give me a break!! Oh and please make sure the jury knows how much better I am than his sisters and how jealous they are of me..again give me a damn break!! Could you imagine this woman being in your family?
I can’t believe she killed him. I’m 27 and would only dream of finally having such a good life and good man.
I have been heartbroken by the wrong men. Apparently the good ones are taken already by crazy killers or cheaters.
Wow 😮
It’s sad to think one day the kids will be old enough to go on UA-cam and see all these videos and comments.
😮 OMG 😳 This is So UNBELIEVABLE 🙀
People will kill you! Be careful. Trust no one. I mean that. As I type this, someone somewhere is killing someone or just killed someone who thought they were a loved one.
Watch your back always.
Always.
That's ridiculous. You're more likely to be killed in a car accident than murded by someone. If your statistics are different, then you're living a life very different from the rest of us...
My circle is small i trust a bit not much people are not trustworthy nowdays.
Sadly agreed
Yesssssss always ❤❤❤❤❤❤
She just digs her grave deeper and deeper
BUSTED
Nothing says “ I’m guilty “
I wonder who is the witness…….
I have been watching this day 1
I can never understand why criminals take there phone with them on a crime madness
This is NUTS
That dude talking about tribunal think he on a Marvel movie
What's going on with Jennifer's blouse?
Seems like you could get all kinds of contraband concealed in jail just by putting it in an envelope and write "for my atty".
"Are you with me" ok but "Are YOU with me", the strangest way this title is written, this really speaks a thousand words to me...
Nice try Kouri, like we forgot there's a witness to you buying fentanyl.
I like the way reporter talks about this case.
This woman is a piece of work.
I really think it's time to rethink the "everyone deserves their day in court stuff". This lady killed her husband who was a good man, provider, loved the kids and no rumors of him cheating and she still wasn't happy. Then....this guy still let's her stay after knowing she robbed him and was trying to kill him. You can't get more amazing than that. Then this lady goes and write a book, she wanted people to read their kids about dealing with loss. Knowing full well she caused the loss and didn't care one bit about how it would hurt the kids who loved and needed their dad. What is the point of court? Give this man justice already and lock her away for life!! If anybody deserves one of those courage awards its him althought he isn't here to receive it. He still cared about her well-being and allowed her to stay in the home knowing what she was up to. A wonderful man gone for no reason. Was already providing and giving her the world yet still wasnt happy. He deserved so much more from her. Want to see justice come for him, his kids, his family, everyone who is feeling his loss everyday.
💔👎🏿🙏🏿🙌🏿❤️🕊
I understand your point - I really do - but the due process we have in this country is WHAT the forefathers fought and died for and is a right even KR should have. That said, she is so clearly guilty and the fact she wants a trial is on HER.
@@jenmdawgRight.
I think she did it, but she absolutely deserves her day in court. She deserves defense counsel, everyone does. If we do away with that, there is NO justice for anyone, ever. How can your distaste for a single person make you think due process is a bad idea? If justice is what you seek, the this is the best way (so far) that humans have found to procure it.
I think you dont deserve your day in court dear commenter and i accuse You of fiddling with children! No right to protect yourself, you did it, @purejoy1985 . You forfitted you basic human rights with your comment and you d e s e r v e it.
This is sickening.
Kouri is something else. I remember Eric’s sister told the judge, “If you let Kouri out on bond, there’s no telling what she’ll do.” Months later, we find out Kouri wrote a letter vowing to “get those damn bitches.”
Vinny being awesome as always!! 🤌
She did not mail the letter. Has she tampered if it is in her possession?
Kouri making Moscow Mules for her and Eric, I thought they didn't drink alcohol in their religion? and she told the cops from the start that Eric didn't use drugs, just THC gummies from time to time, also, I don't believe Erics life insurance would pay out in the case of a drug overdose?
Hello? The drug connection is in Kouris phone records and her "dealer"
🤦♀️
I hope life without parole. She never once thought about anyone including her children except for herself. I'm so glad he changed insurance to his sister but sad he didn't get out. My prayers are for the children and families. It's time for Justice. No Bail was the right call In this case. I will never understand how people are so blind to having it all and still being this greedy and cold-hearted.
How much you think that book is worth now?
😂😂😂😂 Great question lol
I live in Salt Lake. Trust me when I say everyone is watching this case, there is no snow in the mountains so nobody is skiing 😂
Why is are they saying to testify is false how do they know there are not the texts?
You’re So funny Vinny ❤it! Um 😶 lemme tell ya I have a prison pen pal and he tells me that every letter gets read for safety reasons SO if she’s writing “Att Priv” on the envelope sorry Bish not gonna work here 😂she’s guilty AF!
when will this crazy case
go 2 trial.....!??! WTF is really
going on.....??!!??
I think she murdered her husband. Maybe it's just me.
Unfortunately unscrupulous defense attorneys will perjure and create any falsehood they think they can get a gullible jury to swallow. Their defensive strategy attempts to blame the victim for their own demise or create a false narrative they hope a jury will accept in order to free a guilty client from the legal consequences of their criminal behavior. They will have difficulty proving witness tampering in court unless the witnesses actually testify according to the "Walk the dog" letter. I would assume that since the discovery of the letter, defense attorney Sky will NOT push that narrative as a defense or risk evidence tampering and perjury charges for herself and her client. The discovery of the letter raises grave questions regarding Kouri Richins' role and criminal guilt in Eric Richins' death and creates even greater difficulties for Kouri Richins' defense.
Question: how did this letter get exposed in the first place?
🤔
Normal searches go on in prisons/jails. It was discovered then
Officers in the jail searched her jail cell and found it. Kouri is so guilty. She had tried to poison him 2 times before he died. He had gone to a divorce attorney secretly. He had also moved all his assets into a trust for the 3 sons. And listed his sister Katie as the trustee. Kouri even had the audacity to buy the 22,000 square foot home the day after he died. And have a party there. Kouri also hired a locksmith and tried to steal $160,000 dollars from the safe. Katie showed up and Kouri physically attacked her. The sheriff arrested her for that too. But that was before the murder investigation.
@@BrendaT24 Oh ok, I did not know that! Thank you!
@@bbe3034 Wow! She sounds vicious!!! She had to have poisoned her husband! I doubt he committed suicide and his children didn’t do it!!! She was the only other person in the house that night! Has she claimed someone entered the house illegally and killed him? No! She’s guilty!
She told on herself
Evil
Before she wrote the book she had to have source material
Someone that is desperate could do something like that
She really think she get away with her husband's murder
What happened to being innocent until proven guilty in this country, everyone should be worried when the media assumes guilt first.
I'm always curious, just how did she expect this all to end? Her getting to be an authority on grief, writing her "series" or prison, where murderers go. I guess she could still write books from prison, but if this letter is an example, she should stick to fiction.
you have to state "alledged".....she is alledged to have murder her husband
Utah has a lot going on lately 😕
It's the start of decline for all that have lived in their blessings for 400yrs.
The whole country does
She sounds very naïve.... really, the ducks aren't all in a row! And she also implicates her lawyer, like that was a suggestion? Crying in court but eyes are wandering around, are they watching ME, like the book title, Are YOU with me?
She is guilty as hell how can someone kill the father of their children
Why are Utah mothers so screwed up?!
Man, she just loves to talk , Ms Skye is going to have to worker even harder now lol 💀💀 She’s probably thinking 🤔 wow Kouri really?
I liked the cocaine analogy, it helped put things into perspective - kudos!
Impossible to watch with the host blurting out commwnrs
Humans Can be So UNREAL!.. How Can you do this to Your Partner wth.
Do we know if Kouris Mother read the letter? At a visit through the glass?
The amount of psycho husbands and wives.....
Those poor children!
Maybe get an SAT book instead of an LSAT book?
Don't forget and the Killing to, because of that she sure is guilty of!
Venny you too funny 😂
Mpg can we have someone else report on this station . The lip smacking is so annoying
