Autora de Utah, Kouri Richins, é condenada à prisão perpétua pelo assassinato do marido

Kouri Richins, a escritora de livros infantis que escreveu uma história sobre luto após a morte de seu cônjuge, recebeu esta semana uma sentença de prisão perpétua sem direito à liberdade condicional pelo assassinato dele. Um tribunal de Utah a condenou por colocar uma dose massiva de fentanil na bebida de Eric Richins em março de 2022.

O juiz citou o perigo que ela representa para a sociedade ao proferir o veredito no que teria sido o 44º aniversário de Eric. Os promotores traçaram um cenário de dívidas e um novo romance como motivos, destacando que o casal tinha três filhos pequenos na época do crime. Richins também foi condenada por uma tentativa de homicídio no Dia dos Namorados de 2022 e por fraude de seguro relacionada à apólice.
