Kouri Richins has been found guilty on all counts in the murder of Eric Richins. This week in Hidden Killers' Week in Review, we look back at the final days of trial that brought the jury to that conclusion in three hours. On Day 13, the defense rested without calling a single witness. Three were reportedly ready. The decision came after a one-hour recess following the judge's denial of a directed verdict motion and the completion of lead investigator Detective Jeff O'Driscoll's cross-examination. Tony Brueski breaks down the legal pressure that forced that choice — and what it meant for the people who have been waiting on this outcome for years. Then Eric Faddis — a defense attorney who has also prosecuted serious felony cases — provides the most complete legal examination of what the jury was weighing. The defense's drug use theory, built around the idea that Eric Richins had a hidden habit, was ruled against, contradicted by his own friends, and undercut by toxicology. The immunity witnesses changed their stories. A detective's own words were turned against the prosecution. Faddis named all of it honestly. And then he named what the jury couldn't set aside. A client who searched her phone, saved memes, wrote a jailhouse letter instructing witnesses to memorize and destroy it, forged her husband's signature on an insurance document, and sent a text asking for more fentanyl three days after Eric died. For the people who loved Eric Richins and sat through every day of this trial, that record was always the heart of it. The jury agreed. Three hours. Guilty on all counts.
