LIVE: Kouri Richins Trial Preview | Witness Recants, Intimidation Claims Rock Case
Description
Trial starts February 23rd. Kouri Richins faces aggravated murder charges in the fentanyl poisoning death of her husband Eric Richins. And with two weeks to go, the case is in chaos.
Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins us live to break down the last-minute developments rocking this prosecution. A new motion alleges witness intimidation—the lead detective allegedly threatened a witness with a warrant and "a catch pole for the dog" if they didn't answer prep calls. Another investigator allegedly told a witness their immunity could be revoked if they stopped cooperating.
Is this witness intimidation? Or hardball tactics that happen in every major case? Eric provides the legal analysis.
Then there's the Crozier recantation. Robert Crozier was supposed to be the link in the fentanyl supply chain. He originally said he sold fentanyl to the housekeeper who allegedly gave it to Kouri. Now he says it was OxyContin—and he was detoxing during the original interview. Can the prosecution's sourcing theory survive this blow?
We'll examine Judge Mrazik's key rulings: limiting what the FBI profiler can say, excluding domestic violence evidence, and partially admitting the "Walk the Dog" letter allegedly instructing witness tampering.
No fentanyl was ever found. No pills. No forensic link. The toxicology shows five times the lethal dose—but how do you prove murder when your supply chain is broken?
Join us live with your questions as we preview one of the most closely watched trials of 2025.
