## Resource

Her youngest wants her in prison forever. Her middle child said she never apologized for anything. Her oldest said he doesn't miss her and fears what she'd do if she got out. All three wrote statements that were read by their therapists because they cannot be in the same room with her. And Kouri Richins sat at the defense table making faces. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott breaks down the behavioral patterns visible in Kouri's reactions throughout the prosecution's portion of sentencing. The disgust expressions during Eric's sisters' statements. The eye-rolling during the children's letters. The whispered conferences with defense attorneys while a child described waking up shaking on the night his father was killed. This is a clinical reading of what Kouri's behavior reveals about her psychological wiring — what it means when contempt overrides every other instinct in a room where your own children are begging for protection from you.
