La autora de Utah Kouri Richins condenada a cadena perpetua por el asesinato de su marido

Kouri Richins, la escritora de libros infantiles que escribió una historia sobre el duelo tras la muerte de su esposo, recibió esta semana una sentencia de cadena perpetua sin posibilidad de libertad condicional por su asesinato. Un tribunal de Utah la declaró culpable de haber mezclado la bebida de Eric Richins con una dosis masiva de fentanilo en marzo de 2022.

El juez mencionó el peligro que representa para la sociedad al dictar el veredicto en lo que habría sido el cumpleaños número 44 de Eric. Los fiscales presentaron las deudas y un nuevo romance como motivos del crimen, señalando que la pareja tenía tres hijos pequeños en el momento del asesinato. Richins también fue condenada por un intento de homicidio ocurrido el día de San Valentín de 2022 y por fraude de seguros relacionado con la póliza del fallecido.
