Kouri Richins Tried To HIDE Her Latest Move From The Public

Kouri Richins is serving life without parole for killing her husband Eric — and she’s not done fighting. Prosecutors now say she’s lying to the court about why she filed a sealed motion, calling her stated reason ‘a misleading pretext.’

Richins was convicted in March 2026 after a jury found her guilty on every count: aggravated murder, attempted aggravated murder, insurance fraud, and forgery. She poisoned Eric with five times the lethal dose of fentanyl in a cocktail at their Park City home. Two weeks earlier, she’d laced a Valentine’s Day sandwich with fentanyl. He blacked out but survived. She tried again on March 4 — and he didn’t wake up.

Her post-conviction campaign has been relentless. A motion for a new trial claiming judicial bias. A bid to disqualify the judge — denied by a separate judge who found no evidence of the extreme behavior required for removal. Then, on the day her team owed prosecutors a response, they filed a sealed motion instead, asking to pause everything.

Prosecutors’ public response rips the seal off. Prosecutor Brad Bloodworth writes that the judicial bias allegations in the sealed motion are ‘novel’ and don’t connect to the original new trial arguments. Her first complaint was about how the judge treated her lawyers in front of the jury. Her new complaint is about what the judge did in a closed pre-trial hearing. Two different claims presented as one.

The investigation she’s leaning on for ammunition involves a detective, a local sheriff’s race, and a recorded jail call with a man prosecutors describe as her admirer. What that man said on tape about why he helped a political campaign points straight back to the detective who investigated Eric’s murder. She filed it sealed. Prosecutors made sure it didn’t stay that way.
