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 secure the kitchen. White specks on Eric's nightstand, visible in crime scene photos, were never analyzed. Crime scene tech Chelsea Gipson found no drugs in the home on her initial visit, but evidence kept turning up in subsequent searches over four years. The medical examiner testified the manner of death remains "undetermined."

Eric Faddis, a former prosecutor turned defense attorney, breaks down the defense strategy taking shape in the Kouri Richins trial. What happens when prosecutors have strong motive evidence—the texts, the searches, the debt, the boyfriend—but can't connect the defendant to the actual act?

The defense is betting everything on reasonable doubt. Faddis explains why that bet might pay off.
