Episode Details

Todd Gabler has closed a lot of case files in 34 years. Over a hundred homicide investigations. Testimony in more than a dozen murder trials. He knows what it feels like to finish the work and move on. But the Kouri Richins case wasn't like the others.

This was the investigation that put him on the prosecution's side of a courtroom for the first time in his career. The one where he showed up on a cane after neck fusion surgery and refused pain medication so he could think clearly on the stand. The one where he spent a year going through a dead man's phone, walking through his house, sitting across from people who watched his marriage disintegrate — and building the case that would ultimately send his wife to prison for life without parole.

In the final part of this three-part conversation, Gabler opens up to Tony Brueski about the personal toll. What the verdict felt like. Who Eric became to him. Whether crossing the courtroom for the first time changed how he views everything he's done on the defense side. And whether this is the file that stays open in his head long after the paperwork is done.
