When Entitled Moms Want (A Few Inches) More

Moscow Mules, cheerleaders, the Caribbean, and murder.

Here’s one summary of this case and why it got national attention.

If you need a quick true crime refresher, she was a married mom of three in Utah. Her husband owned a masonry business that was apparently successful, and he had family money too. He found her when she was a cashier at Home Depot. She got a million-dollar lifestyle of trips and kids and still decided it wasn’t enough, attempting (allegedly) to poison him three times and then finally successfully doing it.

This case is very slowly winding its way to a trial, and recently a few lesser charges were dropped:

Richins was initially up for the death penalty, but now it’s life in prison.

If you want to totally understand Kouri here as a savage bitch, her paramour (that means “lover”) was a guy named Robert. She was cheating on her now-dead husband with this guy. She sent him all sorts of texts about being together forever, etc, etc. She told him she wanted him all the time, but “beyond just sexually,” I.e. “spiritually.”

So, it took a year after her husband’s death to arrest her. What happened within that year?
