Why Is Kouri Richins Still Threatening People After Getting Life?
"They picked the wrong one." That's what Kouri Richins wrote before she was sentenced to life without parole for the murder of her husband Eric. She told someone outside the jail she'd expose the county, the prosecution, the judge, and the entire Richins family. She said they "haven't seen anything yet." Then she stood in court, looked at her sons, and said "don't give up on me."
Eric Faddis has prosecuted people who made threats like this and defended people accused of the same. He breaks down the behavioral pattern — a convicted person who has demonstrated a willingness to manipulate, to allegedly instruct a family member to lie under oath, and to keep working people from behind bars.
He explains what Utah's corrections system monitors automatically versus what requires action from the people she's allegedly targeting. He addresses the hardest part of this — the three boys whose guardians have cut off all contact but whose mother just promised them publicly that she's coming.
And he walks through what happens when the contact comes not from Kouri directly but from people acting on her behalf. Twenty-six additional felony charges are still pending. The question is what legal walls actually hold.
