MORMON MOM CHARGED W/POISONING HUBBY FACING ADDITIONAL CHARGES

<p>Kouri Richins remains in Summit County Jail, after the judge denies a defense motion to reconsider bail and release. In addition to the murder charges in the death of her husband,&nbsp; Richins faces over two dozen charges in a separate case alleging she committed mortgage fraud,&nbsp; submitted falsified banks statements, committed money laundering and issued bad checks.&nbsp;</p> <p>Meanwhile, Kouri Richins' defense alleges that the Summit County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office illegally obtained evidence while investigating the death of Eric Richins.</p> <p>Defense attorneys Kathy Nester and Wendy Lewis say detectives violated Richins' constitutional rights and argue that the evidence should be ruled inadmissible during her murder trial. &nbsp;</p> <p>At the center of the motion are the "Walk the Dog" letter and data from her phone and Apple accounts. Defense attorneys argue that investigators took Kouri&rsquo;s phone without a proper warrant and failed to inform her of her right to remain silent, her right to request a lawyer, and her right to refuse questioning. &nbsp;</p> <p>The case began when Eric Richins became violently ill on multiple occasions after having dinner with his wife, Kouri. &nbsp;</p> <p>The couple, who owned a successful real estate business, was celebrating a big sale when Kouri Richins prepared a drink for her husband. She then went to care for their children. Hours later, when she went to bed, Eric Richins was dead. &nbsp;</p> <p>Investigators believe his wife killed him by putting a fatal dose of fentanyl in his drink. Police also discovered that Kouri Richins attempted to change the beneficiary of her husband's life insurance policy.</p> <p>Joining Nancy Grace Today:</p> <ul> <li><a href="wolflawcolorado.com">Jeffrey Wolf</a> - Criminal Defense Attorney; Twitter: @JeffWolf5280 and @WolfLawLLC&nbsp;</li> <li><a href="AngelaArnoldMD.com">Dr. Angela Arnold</a> - Psychiatrist, Atlanta GA.- Expert in the Treatment of Pregnant/Postpartum Women; Former Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, Obstetrics and Gynecology: Emory University; Former Medical Director of The Psychiatric Ob-Gyn Clinic at Grady Memorial Hospital</li> <li><a href="BobbyChacon.com&nbsp;">Bobby Chacon</a>- Former Special Agent FBI, Screenwriter for &ldquo;Criminal Minds;&rdquo; Instagram/Twitter: @BobbyChaconFBI</li> <li>Dr. Paul Christo - Opioid Expert, Associate Professor for The John Hopkins School of Medicine, Division of Pain Medicine; Author and Host of "Aches &amp; Gains: A Comprehensive Guide To Overcoming Your Pain"</li> <li>Dr. Kendall Crowns- Chief Medical Examiner Tarrant County (Ft Worth), Lecturer: University of Texas Austin and Texas Christian University Medical School</li> <li>Jen&nbsp;Smith-&nbsp;Chief Reporter for&nbsp;<a href="http://dailymail.com/">DailyMail.com</a>, Twitter: @jen_e_smith</li> </ul><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
