They were her children. This look back sits with the hearing where three boys, through their therapists, told a Park City courtroom what life with their mother had actually been like — and what they needed to happen now. They described fear. Locked rooms. A home where they had to take care of each other because the person who was supposed to wasn't. The older boys said they feared for their safety if she were ever released; a younger son indicated he'd finally feel safe and happy with her in prison. And as those words were read, Kouri was seen rolling her eyes and making faces. Then her own family rose to call her devoted and innocent, and the tears came — reserved, it seemed, for her own suffering. That contrast became the defining image of the hearing. On what would have been Eric Richins' forty-fourth birthday, Judge Richard Mrazik sentenced her to life without parole. She spoke for more than half an hour, telling her sons to \"be like your dad\" — the father she was convicted of taking from them — insisting their memory of what happened was wrong, and asking them not to give up on her. She never acknowledged a single thing they'd described. We revisit where the case stood at the time of our reporting. The clearest verdict in that room may not have been the judge's at all — it was three children asking to be kept safe from their own mother.
