Utah mom who wrote children's book on grief after husband died killed him for money, prosecutors say

Lawyers have begun giving closing arguments at the trial of a Utah woman who published a children’s book about grief after the death of her husband and was later accused of killing him. Authorities say Kouri Richins slipped five times a lethal dose of a synthetic opioid into a cocktail that she made for her husband, Eric Richins, leading to his 2022 death at their home outside Park City. Richins has vehemently denied the allegations against her. The trial was cut short when Richins waived her right to testify and her legal team abruptly rested its case without calling any witnesses.
