@trial_trackers: Kouri Richins Trial day 8 recap: Insurance witnesses testified that a life‑insurance policy tied to Eric’s business partner briefly switched beneficiaries from Eric to Kouri and back in January 2022, with investigators later tracing the login to Kouri’s email. A claims manager said Kouri repeatedly called about payouts and that a $250 000 policy was paid while a newer $100 000 policy was delayed because Eric’s death certificate listed fentanyl. A divorce attorney recalled Eric quietly meeting her in 2020 to discuss divorce and never filing , and an estate lawyer said he set up a trust to leave everything to his sons and revoked Kouri’s power of attorney. Kouri’s boyfriend, Robert “Josh” Grossman, testified about their romantic texts and said she asked if he’d ever killed anyone during a heavy conversation after Eric’s death ; jurors saw messages where she invited him to celebrate a house closing, then texted “Eric passed away” hours later. The defense sought a mistrial over late‑disclosed evidence, but the judge said motions must be in writing. About the case: Kouri Richins, a Utah real‑estate agent and grief‑book author, is charged with aggravated murder, attempted aggravated murder and fraud for allegedly slipping fentanyl to her husband Eric in March 2022.
