A Utah courtroom was left stunned after children’s book author Kouri Richins offered her three young sons a bizarre piece of advice during her sentencing hearing for the homicide of their father, Eric Richins.
In her formal allocution statement on Wednesday, May 13, the 35-year-old repeatedly urged the boys to “be like your dad,” despite being convicted of taking his life.
The remarks came as Kouri was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, on what would have been Eric’s 44th birthday.
