Kouri Richins, a Utah mother accused of murdering her husband and later publishing a children’s book about grief, has been found guilty on all charges by a jury in Utah.
Richins, 35, faced multiple felony charges for allegedly poisoning Eric Richins, her late husband, in March 2022. Prosecutors said she mixed and served him a Moscow Mule cocktail she had allegedly spiked with a lethal dose of fentanyl at their home just outside of Park City. The drink contained nearly five times what is considered a deadly amount of the opioid, court filings showed.
The most serious counts against Richins, for aggravated murder and attempted aggravated murder, carry maximum sentences of life in prison. Richins also faced additional charges for mortgage fraud and forgery, after she allegedly signed to close on a multimillion-dollar real estate deal the day after her husband died. She had pleaded not guilty to all of the charges.
A sentencing hearing has been scheduled for May 13.

A jury in Utah has found Kouri Richins guilty of murdering her husband, Eric Richins, in a case that drew national attention after she later published a children’s book about grief. Prosecutors said Richins poisoned her husband with a lethal dose of fentanyl at their home in Kamas, Utah, in 2022. She was arrested in 2023 and charged with aggravated murder and multiple drug-related offenses.
During the trial, prosecutors presented evidence that Richins obtained fentanyl and gave it to her husband in a drink on the night he died. The defense argued there was not enough proof to show she intentionally caused his death. After reviewing the evidence and testimony, the jury returned a guilty verdict. Sentencing is expected at a later date, where she could face a lengthy prison term.
