The People v. Kouri Richins
When her husband is found dead of an apparent overdose, Kouri Richins writes a children's book about grief. Soon after she’s charged with his murder. "48 Hours" contributor Natalie Morales reports.
www.cbsnews.comHere are the latest, publicly reported developments in The People v. Kouri Richins (the case also reported as Utah v. Kouri Richins):
Bail / witness recantation update (Oct 2025)
A report from People says Kouri Richins asked the judge to reconsider her bail and release conditions after what her attorneys say is a key witness recanted a claim related to fentanyl in the case. The article describes an affidavit from the witness (described as Robert Crozier) and alleges prosecutors did not disclose the recantation in time.[1]
Pre-trial context / trial timing mentioned in court-coverage video
A separate court-coverage video states the case was heading toward an evidentiary/pre-trial stage and says the defense argues there is “no physical evidence” connecting Richins to fentanyl, and that the trial was set to begin in late February 2026. (This is commentary based on the recording, not a formal court document.)[3]
Background (for orientation)
The same People report summarizes the core allegation as Richins being accused of murdering her husband, with prosecutors alleging she poisoned him using fentanyl and that it involved a housekeeper and another alleged supplier.[1]
If you want, tell me what you mean by “latest” (e.g., past week, past month, or since May 2026) and I can narrow to only the most recent updates—right now I can only see a couple of relatively recent public items.
