Utah Mom Accused of Poisoning Husband Denied Bail Ahead of Murder Trial

Kouri Richins will remain in jail after a judge ruled against her bail request, citing the severity of charges and potential flight risk.

Kouri Richins is accused of killing her husband, Eric Richins, with a lethal dose of fentanyl in March 2022.
The judge denied Richins' bail request due to the seriousness of the charges and concerns about her fleeing.
Richins allegedly poisoned her husband to gain life insurance benefits and maintain her status facade.
Prosecutors argue that the charges are interconnected by financial motives and her desire for social status.
The trial is scheduled to begin in April 2025, with Richins facing multiple charges, including aggravated murder and fraud.
