Kouri Richins sentenciada a cadena perpetua sin posibilidad de libertad condicional

La madre de Utah, Kouri Richins, recibió el miércoles una sentencia de cadena perpetua sin posibilidad de libertad condicional por el asesinato de su esposo en 2022 mediante una bebida mezclada con fentanilo. La sentencia se dictó en el que habría sido el cumpleaños número 44 de Eric Richins.

Un juez del tribunal de distrito de Utah dictó la sentencia tras la condena de Richins en marzo por cargos que incluyen asesinato agravado, intento de asesinato, fraude de seguros y falsificación. Los fiscales declararon que ella le sirvió a su esposo un cóctel Moscow Mule que contenía casi cinco veces una dosis letal de fentanilo en su hogar cerca de Park City. El juez la describió como demasiado peligrosa para quedar en libertad alguna vez y señaló como motivo la ganancia financiera proveniente de pólizas de seguro y un negocio inmobiliario.
