  <title>What Kouri Richins' Lawyers Filed To Overturn Her Conviction</title>
  <description>Kouri Richins wants a new trial. She was convicted of aggravated murder, attempted murder, insurance fraud, and forgery in the fentanyl poisoning of her husband Eric Richins. She was sentenced to life without parole on what would have been Eric's forty-fourth birthday. Her three sons asked the court to keep them safe from her. And seven weeks later, her attorneys filed a fourteen-page motion claiming the judge and the prosecution denied her a fair trial.

Tony Brueski goes through the entire filing. The defense says Judge Mrazik acted as "a second adversary." They say prosecutors violated pretrial guardrails on financial evidence. They compare the case to Alex Murdaugh's overturned conviction in South Carolina. The episode shows why that comparison fails — the Murdaugh ruling rested on jury tampering by a court officer that has no parallel in the Richins case.

The judge has stepped aside from ruling on the motion. A new judge will decide whether the conviction stands. The episode covers what that means, what happens next, and what the motion reveals about who Kouri Richins actually is when the system doesn't give her the answer she wants.

Inside: the three prongs of the filing, the financial evidence the defense calls prejudicial and the prosecution calls the murder's motive, the text Kouri sent an admirer after the guilty verdict, the courtroom footage from sentencing day, her forty-five-minute speech, and the twenty-six financial felonies pending in a separate case. Eric's sons used her first name in their statements. One said what she did was "very sick." Another said he would never feel safe if she were free.
