She tried to kill him once before and failed, and he not only stayed together but continued to let her get near his food and drink? My guy…
Some kinks are unhealthy
Maybe they were Mormons. Their views on marriage are kinda…unique.
“yeah it’s risky but that I can beat that pussy up like Muhammad Ali and drive her wild even after I’m done with her sister so it’s a fair trade”
Sex must have been amazing
The crazy ones are usually pretty good at it.
Mushroom lady ex hubby ate food from her for yonks after he suspected she had started poisoning him.
The only justice for these people is to poison them a little bit sometimes so they are suspicious of their food for the rest of their lives.
Reminds me of “‘How to murder your husband’ writer sentenced for murdering husband”
At least she didn’t name it “How to murder your husband and get away with it”.
Real OJ Simpson “If I did it” vibes.
Or I Killed Darnell Simmons by the legendary rapper Gun Rack.
I have a friend that married a PoS. At her wedding she told our mutual friend that her now husband hits her. I believe she got married because she was scared of being alone even though we’re not old enough for that to be a real concern. A week or more later the mutual friend and I were playing cards at her parent’s. The topic of the husband came up and we pushed the topic to this. I said she told us that he hit her. It turns out that they knew but had the belief that there is never a valid reason to get divorced. I shut that shit down right away and surprisingly they sort of agreed.
She divorced him months later.
Point being some people have weird and dangerous beliefs about marriage
Her husband was worth 4 million. She wanted the money.
That’s not speculation, the prosecution showed a financial motive and the jury agreed.
This case is insane. They didn’t actually charge her until something like a year after the murder because the cops so badly fucked the initial investigation, but the prosecution still got a conviction with barely minutes worth of jury deliberation, because of what a fucking terrible job she did of covering it up.
The 911 call alone is a horror show. The defense tried to use it to show how sad and scared she was, and then the prosecution proceeded to play the entire call, with a stopwatch running from the time she agrees to start CPR - not when she is first asked to by the dispatcher, but when she actually finally relents and agrees to try - to the first actual compression. Six god damn minutes. She is something like ten minutes into the 911 call at this point. During that time she repeatedly informed the dispatcher that she wasn’t in the room when it happened. Zero interest in saving her husband’s life, only in establishing her alibi.
Oh, and she claims that her phone was in the room with her husband while she was away (in her kids room) but the records on the phone show that it was unlocked several times over fifteen minutes before she dialled 911. After finding her husband unconscious this woman managed to waste almost half an hour before starting CPR.
She had multiple searches on her phone for things like “How much fentanyl is lethal”, “Can deleted texts be recovered from an iPhone”, “How to remotely wipe an iPhone”, and “Luxury women’s prisons”, which reads like an avant-garde short story about someone doing a crime. She met up with a convicted drug dealer multiple times despite having no prior history of drug use. She wrote a letter to her mother detailing an extensive scheme of witness tampering that she was to rope Kouri’s brother into, with notes on all of the exact lies he should tell. She changed two different life insurance policies on her husband to have her as the only beneficiary just weeks before he died.
Why would she give her password to the police?
Depends. They might have broken in without her password. For all we know her pin was “1234”. They might have pulled files directly from the hardware without logging in at all. Or they might have just used her biometrics, which is legal in most jurisdictions.
That last one is really important to understand. Courts have generally ruled that refusing to give up a password falls under the fifth amendment right against self incrimination, because it’s considered a form of speech. But biometric data is not speech, and can be obtained via a warrant. So if the cops are allowed to press your fingertip to an ink pad and then a piece of paper, they can also press your fingertip to the sensor on your phone. By the same token they can point the phone camera at your face, just like they can point a camera at you when they book you. It’s all just biometrics, which aren’t protected in the same way. (Yes, its a little more complicated than that, legally speaking, but that’s basically how it’s been argued in court, and many courts have agreed).
And once either of those actions happens to coincidentally unlock your phone, they have free reign to search the contents and even remove your passwords entirely for their future convenience. That all falls under the standard search and seizure provisions.
She doesn’t seem like the brightest bulb.
Can’t write books without doing some research, I guess?
Write what you know.
And of course it happened in Utah - the Florida of the West.
Defendant’s first name checks out.
(Kouri)
what are you trying to say?
Mormon culture is prevalent in Utah, and for some reason they have a peculiar obsession with weird names and spellings.
Gotcha - thanks for the explanation. Although I read her alleged notes from jail and - as suspected - she sounds in parts like someone with a borderline personality disorder. Definitely in need of treatment. Somehow I have my doubts that’ll be provided in jail.
heaven forbid a woman have hobbies
Oh so it’s not Erika Kirk… This time
Someone who is good with .gifs needs to add the coffee pouring right out his neck.
Interestingly, the same defense team who defended Kouri Richins (the Utah mom) is defending the guy who killed Charlie Kirk.
She was also convicted of other felonies, including attempted murder for trying to poison her husband weeks earlier on Valentine’s Day with a fentanyl-laced sandwich that made him black out.
Look, I don’t want to blame the victim here, but I probably wouldn’t let my wife make me a cocktail if she once gave me a sandwich so strong I blacked out.
The psychology of this case, and other cases like it, is really baffling. The article didn’t go into much detail except mentioning the prior attempt, the millions of dollars of life insurance, and her cover story about him being addicted to opioids.
When investigators found those details the picture must have became clear.
What causes one person in a long-term relationship to off the other one? Why not just, you know, do what everyone else does and divorce? I’m sure being a divorcee sucks but it can’t be as bad as a convicted aggravated murderer who will live life behind bars
You assume the relationship was the cause, and that it wasn’t just an underlying latent psychopathic person.
Lots psychopaths don’t start killing people well into adulthood, and otherwise lead normal lives.
People tell themselves stories to rationalize everything. Some make sense to most people, some dont. The story this lady told herself to enable her to murder her husband instead of just divorcing him is surely going to sound insane.
It seems not livinig with him anymore was not the purpose. Divorce would have not provided her with enough money.
Money. He was worth 4 million. And had multiple life insurance policies, which she tried to make herself the sole beneficiary of before killing him.
She, on the other hand, was carrying 4.5 million in debt.
Fun fact, he wrote her out of his will. So even if she’d gotten away with the murder, she still got nothing.
I wonder if her lover knew. They were already planning a future with the money she thought she would get from the insurance.
Needed material for the sequel?
That fucking bitch! He was really hot!
Justice was done
They’re both average homie

Causality is hard at work; as certain as death and taxes.
