## Resource

Kouri Richins sat in a courtroom while three boys described being locked in rooms, having animals threatened, and living afraid — and she looked like she was listening to someone complain about a parking ticket. Eye rolls. Faces of disgust. Mouthed objections to her own lawyers while a child said he wants her gone forever. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Hidden Killers Live to walk through what those reactions reveal about who Kouri is when the pressure exposes her. Eric's father described a man whose youth players still break their huddle saying his name. His sisters described a family shattered. Amy disclosed she miscarried twins from the stress. Kouri's expression through all of it: irritation. Shavaun reads every visible behavior as a data point — the contempt, the whispered sidebars, the complete absence of empathy while her own children begged a judge for protection from their mother.
