Kouri Richins dijatuhi hukuman seumur hidup tanpa kemungkinan pembebasan bersyarat

Seorang ibu asal Utah, Kouri Richins, menerima vonis hukuman seumur hidup tanpa kemungkinan pembebasan bersyarat pada hari Rabu karena membunuh suaminya dengan minuman yang dicampur fentanil pada tahun 2022. Vonis tersebut dijatuhkan tepat pada hari yang seharusnya menjadi ulang tahun Eric Richins yang ke-44.

Hakim pengadilan distrik Utah menjatuhkan hukuman tersebut setelah Richins dinyatakan bersalah pada bulan Maret atas sejumlah dakwaan, termasuk pembunuhan berencana, percobaan pembunuhan, penipuan asuransi, dan pemalsuan dokumen. Jaksa menyatakan bahwa ia memberikan koktail Moscow Mule yang mengandung hampir lima kali lipat dosis mematikan fentanil kepada suaminya di kediaman mereka di dekat Park City. Hakim menggambarkan dirinya sebagai orang yang terlalu berbahaya untuk dibebaskan dan mencatat motif pembunuhan tersebut sebagai keuntungan finansial dari polis asuransi dan kesepakatan real estat.
