## Resource

Under three hours. That's how long the jury deliberated before convicting Kouri Richins on all counts — aggravated murder, attempted aggravated murder, forgery, insurance fraud. Judge Mrazik sentenced her to life without parole and told the courtroom she's "simply too dangerous to ever be free." For Todd Gabler, the man who spent over a year building the evidentiary foundation that helped make that conviction possible, the verdict wasn't just a legal outcome. It was the end of a case that pulled him across a line he'd never crossed in 34 years. Every homicide he'd ever worked was for the defense. This was the first time his evidence became the prosecution's weapon. And when it was over — when the verdict dropped and the sentence came down — Gabler had to reckon with what the case had done to him. In the final part of this three-part interview, Gabler tells Tony Brueski what hit him first when the jury came back, who Eric Richins became to him after a year of reconstructing a dead man's life, and whether this is the kind of case a PI walks away from — or the kind that walks with him.
