Kouri Richins: What the Prosecution Can't Prove — Eric Faddis Analysis
Defense attorney Kathy Nester told the jury something remarkable in her opening statement: after four years of investigation, prosecutors have "zero evidence" showing how fentanyl got into Eric Richins' body. This week's testimony proved her point. The Moscow mule cups at the heart of the prosecution's theory were never tested—the nanny washed them the next morning. Deputy Nguyen didn't secur...

Nancy Guthrie Case: The Felony Murder Trap Waiting for Whoever Did This
This wasn't a professional job. The evidence says so. The suspect visited Nancy Guthrie's home before the night she disappeared. When he came back, he didn't know about the doorbell camera. Tried to disable it and failed. Grabbed weeds to cover the lens. That's improvisation. That's someone who thought they had it figured out—and didn't. If this was a burglary that turned into something the p...
