Kouri Richins, a Utah mother of three, was sentenced to life without parole after being convicted of aggravated murder for fatally poisoning her husband, Eric Richins, with fentanyl in 2022. The trial revealed she had first attempted to kill him with a fentanyl‑laced sandwich on Valentine’s Day before successfully administering a lethal dose, and she also committed insurance fraud by forging his signature on a $100,000 policy. During sentencing, Richins addressed her children from jail, expressing remorse and pledging to fight the conviction, while prosecutors and the victim’s family urged a maximum sentence, citing the “permanent trauma” inflicted on the three boys now placed with their aunt. The court ultimately denied a lighter term, imposing life without the possibility of parole and ordering restitution of over $1.3 million to insurance companies.
