Children's Book Author Charged With Murdering Husband She Wrote About

  • Kouri Richins allegedly poisoned her husband Eric Richins and then wrote a book about grief to profit from his death.
  • Prosecutors claim Richins plotted her husband's murder due to marital and financial disputes, taking out life insurance policies on him without his knowledge.
  • Richins' defense argues the evidence is circumstantial, but prosecutors point to suspicious internet searches and transactions as evidence of her guilt.
  • The case has become a tabloid fixation due to the ironic timing of Richins' self-published book about coping with grief.
  • Richins was denied bail and will remain jailed for the duration of her trial.
