About this episode

The episode covers week three of Kouri Richins' trial, highlighting key testimonies and a surprising defense strategy.

Week three of the trial of Kouri Richins brought major developments as prosecutors wrapped up their case in the death of her husband, Eric Richins. Jurors heard key testimony from lead investigator Jeff O’Driscoll, who walked through the investigation, prescription records, and evidence detectives say helped them piece together the events leading up to Eric’s death. Cross-examination focused heavily on investigative methods and the controversial “walk the dog” letter, with the defense pressing detectives on how evidence was interpreted. But the biggest moment of the week came after the state rested its case. In a surprising move, the defense for Kouri Richins also rested—without calling a single witness—setting the stage for closing arguments and leaving the jury to decide the case based solely on the prosecution’s evidence and the defense’s cross-examinations.
