Prosecutors reveal emotional statements from the children, including one son wearing his father’s clothes to school to feel close to him and another saying he would never feel safe if Kouri were released. We also unpack the prosecution’s claims of manipulation, greed, retaliation, and what they describe as Kouri’s “irredeemable character,” along with the massive restitution requests, protective orders, and the legal battle over whether she should spend the rest of her life behind bars.
