Kouri Richins Sentenced After Guilty Verdict in Eric Richins Murder

Author: Real Story Media May 13, 2026 Duration: 52:19

Kouri Richins has been sentenced to Life Without Parole after a Utah jury found her guilty of murdering her husband, Eric Richins, by poisoning him with fentanyl. She faces consecutive sentences for the other four charges.

The sentencing marks a major conclusion in a case that captivated true crime audiences across the country. Prosecutors argued Richins killed Eric for insurance money and financial gain, while the defense claimed his death was the result of accidental drug use. After hearing the evidence, the jury rejected that argument and convicted Richins on all major counts, including aggravated murder and attempted murder.

In this episode, we break down the sentence, what the judge said in court, how the verdict led to this moment, and what may come next for Kouri Richins as the case moves into the post-conviction phase.

True Crime Today covers the cases that matter with courtroom context, legal analysis, and clear breakdowns of the biggest developments in true crime.
