About this episode

This episode discusses the transformation of a juror's perception of Kouri Richins as evidence dismantles her constructed identity during the trial.

"At first, I was thinking that Kouri was definitely feeling trapped." That was a juror's first impression. By the verdict: "Like a statue." What happened in between is the subject of this episode.Three weeks of prosecution witnesses dismantling Kouri Richins' constructed identity while she sat in mandated silence. The defense called nobody. She didn't testify. The woman who has produced stories under every kind of pressure — from jail cells, on recorded lines, in hidden letters — was told to stop. And what emerged wasn't composure. It was psychological shutdown.The housekeeper. The boyfriend. The forensic accountant. The Google searches projected on a screen. Each one a sealed compartment being opened for public inspection. Each one a piece of the person she'd built herself into being taken apart. And a three-hour verdict that told her the narrative she'd constructed for four years wasn't even a close call. Part four of five.
