## Resource

When Kouri Richins' Valentine's Day attempt on her husband's life failed, something happened that a psychotherapist would flag as the most important behavioral data in the case: she didn't panic. She recalibrated. She acquired more fentanyl. She adjusted the method. She increased the dose. And seventeen days later, Eric Richins was dead.This episode opens a five-part psychological series examining the decision-making process behind every phase of the Kouri Richins case. Not the forensics — the wiring. How someone builds the internal justification to do the unthinkable, and why that justification doesn't collapse when it should. The identity gap between who she believed she was and who the forensic accountant revealed her to be. The affair that functioned as a life-after-Eric rehearsal. The insurance fraud that got caught and changed nothing.The architecture of self-permission — built over years, deployed in seventeen days, and visible in everything she did after.
