Kouri Richins, the Utah mother of three who allegedly killed her husband in 2022, wanted to show off her 'accomplishments' and 'status,' according to prosecutors.
Kouri Richins, the Utah mother of three who wrote a children's book about grief after she allegedly killed her husband in 2022, wanted to show off her 'accomplishments' and 'status' as part of 'an elaborate facade,' according to prosecutors.
Richins is facing 11 charges, which include attempted aggravated murder, aggravated murder, two counts of distribution of a controlled substance, two counts of mortgage fraud, two counts of fraudulent insurance claim, and three counts of forgery. The murder suspect is asking a Summit County court to sever the attempted aggravated murder, mortgage fraud and related forgery charges from the rest of the charges, arguing that they stem from different criminal allegations.
Meanwhile, prosecutors have since moved to dismiss two counts of distribution of a controlled substance altogether. The state is trying to keep the other nine charges together because they 'are directly connected by the Defendant’s motive for financial gain and for the world to view her as an accomplished person of status,' prosecutors said in a Nov. 8 filing.
Richins has pleaded not guilty to all charges and continues to deny her involvement in her husband's death. Her trial is scheduled to begin at the end of April 2025.
