## Resource

The Valentine's Day attempt failed. Eric survived. And over the next seventeen days, something happened inside Kouri Richins' psychology that separates this case from almost any other.She didn't stop. She didn't panic. She didn't wonder if she'd been caught. She spent those seventeen days acquiring more fentanyl, adjusting her method, and planning a second attempt with five times the lethal dose. The failure didn't produce guilt. It produced a better plan.This is the first installment of a five-part psychological breakdown of Kouri Richins — from the years before Eric's death through the 45-minute sentencing speech that revealed who she still believes she is. Every episode examines the broken decision-making process behind a different phase of the case. This one starts with the foundation: how a $4.5 million debt, a Park City identity crisis, an affair that doubled as a life rehearsal, and a prenup that made divorce worthless created the conditions for a mind to justify the unjustifiable.
