Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/7MCkkgZBTw8 In this Case Brief, Kouri Richins’ defense team has filed a notice of appeal and requested an extension, to file a motion for a new trial. They cited reasons for this extension including planned travel for two of the three defense attorneys, difficulties communicating with Richins due to her 30-day lockdown at Utah State Prison, and the significant time required to prepare video clips and transcripts from the lengthy trial record. The state has opposed this extension, arguing that the defense has already been granted double the standard 14 days allowed by rule 24 and that the victims deserve finality. Furthermore, reports indicate that a juror from the case revealed she was contacted by the defense's private investigator and a lawyer who unsuccessfully attempted to have her admit to an error on one of the guilty counts.
