Episode Details

Kouri Richins looked at her three boys during sentencing and told them she'd fight her conviction "no matter how long it takes." She called the verdict an "absolute lie." She said "we're going to make this right." But her own children had already told the judge exactly what they wanted — their mother locked away forever. The oldest, now thirteen, said he's afraid she'd come after him and his brothers if she ever gets out.

So when a woman serving life without parole makes promises from the defense table, what's really happening?

Eric Faddis has been on both sides of the courtroom — years as a felony prosecutor, now defending people facing the same charges. He breaks down every legal option Kouri's team could pursue on appeal and gives a straight answer about which ones have any chance and which ones are just words.

The defense called no witnesses. Kouri didn't testify. The jury took less than three hours. The question isn't whether she'll fight — it's whether there's anything left to fight with.
