In a dramatic conclusion to one of Utah's most closely watched criminal trials, children's book author Kouri Richins has been found guilty of aggravated murder in the poisoning death of her husband, Eric Richins, in March 2022.
The verdict, handed down on 16 March 2026, also includes convictions for attempted aggravated murder, forgery, and falsifying insurance claims, which prosecutors say were part of a calculated plot to kill her spouse and benefit financially.
