#Character witness letter court tv
Shortly before her arrest, Kouri Richins made TV appearances to promote her illustrated children’s book, “Are You With Me?” which features a cartoon character that appears to be based on her late husband as an angel in the clouds.
An acquaintance of Kouri Richins, who had prior drug charges, told detectives that they sold her prescription pain medication several times in the weeks before his death and that she had specifically requested fentanyl and “some of the Michael Jackson stuff,” according to court documents. Her arrest came just over a year after she reported finding her husband lying unresponsive in their home after consuming a cocktail that she made him.Īn autopsy determined that he died of orally consuming about five times the lethal dosage of fentanyl. Kouri Richins has been behind bars since May, when she was arrested on suspicion of aggravated murder and three counts of possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute. The next hearing in the case is scheduled for Nov. The letter’s filing, her attorney argued, taints the prospective jury pool and prevents her from receiving a fair trial, Fox 13 Now reported. Richins’ attorney responded to these allegations by accusing the state, in a separate motion, of violating a gag order by filing the letter in court. That letter was never found and is believed to have been destroyed. They noted that on Wednesday, one day before the letter was allegedly found inside a book, Kouri Richins was seen holding up a different letter for her mother to read during a video conference call. Prosecutors said it’s not clear whether the letter or its contents were shared with Lisa Darden or anyone else. State prosecutors, in their court filing Friday, asked that Richins have no further contact with her mother or her brother due to the letter, which they said constitutes witness tampering. “Like church, skiing, trips! Nothing that puts us together. The letter also asks Lisa Darden to contact someone named Lotto and tell him not to text her anything about them “doing things together ever.” Her sister-in-law called her “desperate, greedy and extremely manipulative” during a bail hearing in June. Richins, seen here with her attorney, wrote a children's book about grieving after her husband's death.Įxactly who she was referring to at the end is not immediately clear, though Kouri Richins has had an acrimonious relationship with her late husband’s family.
