Kouri Richins sentenced for the murder of her husband

A judge on Wednesday ordered Kouri Richins to spend the rest of her life in prison without the possibility of parole for the poisoning death of her husband. Eric Richins would have turned 44 on Wednesday. Instead, his dad, sisters and brother-in-law spoke at the sentencing hearing on his behalf. Kouri Richins, 36, a mother of three boys and a real estate agent, was found guilty in March of killing Eric Richins four years ago on March 4, 2022. She was not arrested or charged until over a year later, and during that time, she hired a ghostwriter to help her publish a children's book about dealing with grief. Third District Court Judge Richard Mrazik ordered her to serve life in prison, without the possibility of parole, for aggravated murder, a first-degree felony. He also ordered her to serve five years to life in prison for attempted aggravated murder, a first-degree felony; two terms of one to 15 years for two counts of insurance fraud, a second-degree felony; and zero to five years for forgery, a third-degree felony.
