Kouri Richins condamnée à la prison à perpétuité sans possibilité de libération conditionnelle

Kouri Richins, une mère de famille de l'Utah, a été condamnée mercredi à la prison à perpétuité sans possibilité de libération conditionnelle pour avoir assassiné son mari en 2022 avec une boisson mélangée à du fentanyl. Le prononcé de la peine a eu lieu le jour où Eric Richins aurait dû fêter son 44e anniversaire.

Un juge de district de l'Utah a rendu ce verdict après la condamnation de Kouri Richins en mars pour des chefs d'accusation incluant meurtre aggravé, tentative de meurtre, fraude à l'assurance et faux. Selon les procureurs, elle a servi à son mari un cocktail Moscow Mule contenant près de cinq fois la dose mortelle de fentanyl à leur domicile, près de Park City. Le juge l'a qualifiée de trop dangereuse pour être remise en liberté, soulignant que le mobile était le gain financier provenant de polices d'assurance et d'une transaction immobilière.
