Utah Grief Author Sentenced to Life in Prison for Husband’s Murder

Kouri Richins, the Utah grief author convicted of murder after prosecutors said she laced her husband’s cocktail with a fatal dose of fentanyl, was sentenced to life in prison without parole Wednesday, on what would have been his 44th birthday.

In court, Richins addressed her three sons, who said earlier in victim impact statements that they would feel unsafe if she were ever released. In her statement, Richins said she has “done plenty of things I am not proud of” and told her children that “nobody is all good or all bad.”
