SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — Prosecutors say Kouri Richins’ was writing instructions to her family on how to testify in court. Richins’ lawyers say she’s writing a “fictional book.” Either way, the prosecutors say they now want the whole manuscript — all 65 pages’ worth.

Richins, a Summit County woman behind bars for the alleged murder of her husband, Eric, through fentanyl poisoning, is currently in jail awaiting trial. Last month, jail officials found a paper that appeared to prosecutors to be telling her family members how they should testify in court.

This week, prosecutors asked the court to compel Richins and her attorneys to turn over the rest of the so-called “Walk the Dog” document, which may contain another 60 to 65 pages. However, new court documents this week include a transcript of a phone call Richins made in jail to a family member explaining the controversy.

Transcript of call to brother​

Court documents also include a transcript of a phone call between Richins and her brother, Ronald Darden, from Sept. 19.

In that transcript, Richins complains of unfair treatment both in how deputies obtained the Walk the Dog letter, and also in penalties for having it in her cell in the first place. She claims in the call she has had her phone calls limited to “voice only and only handwritten letters out, 90 days.”

She also said she was on 30 days of “lockdown 23 hours a day, no commissary.”

“Well, and they keep saying it’s a letter,” stated Richins. “It was never a letter. Like, it was part of a freakin’ book. Like, it was never a letter.”

Wow, this is so convoluted. I never imagined there was an ACTUAL 60 pages.

I remember wanting to post (when the letter first came out) that they should ask for the pages and she’d have to actually write them, but I was afraid her team would read that and she’d do it. If it was actually a book, it wasn’t in her cell—they searched that. So wouldn’t someone else (lawyer, mother, or brother) have this supposed book?

Per the motion ^^^^....But theoretically, her attorney (Skye) has the "manuscript", and KR gave it to her in mid-September when this all broke. She secreted it into a file marked "attorney" so it would bypass scrutiny. That's not permissible, either, which is why prosecutors are entitled to it.

We know Skye has the "manuscript" because KR said so in a conversation with Ronney ^^^^. Plus, the prosecution's request of the judge states that Skye admitted she had the "manuscript". At this point, Skye won't turn it over, though it's not protected by attorney-client privilege.

And then, there's the matter of why the Walk the Dog letter would be separated from the "manuscript" and secreted in an LSAT book. And why was KR giving the manuscript to her attorney? And then there's the matter of the other inmate's letter that was also in the package. What's that about? Currying some favor, probably.

I wonder how KR would have behaved with a less dramatic attorney?

PARK CITY, Utah (ABC4) — Attorneys for Kouri Richins, the Summit County woman accused of poisoning her husband to death with fentanyl, have asked the judge to dismiss her case, citing her inability to have a fair trial.

The petition, which can be read below in its entirety, claims the court has “engaged in prosecutorial misconduct such that a fair trial … is no longer possible.” The petition asks that:

  • The Summit County Attorney’s Office should be removed from the case
  • The venue be moved to Salt Lake County
  • Evidence regarding the so-called “Walk the Dog Letter” should be suppressed
  • Any jury should be instructed to ignore the state’s claim that Richins engaged in witness tampering.
Some of those claims are related to a document found in Richins’ cell in September that appears to instruct family members on how to testify in court. State lawyers claim the letter speaks for itself as evidence of witness tampering. Richins and her attorneys claim the letter was actually an outline for a fictional novel she was writing.

The incident has led to the court considering a “no contact order” to prevent Richins from talking to her family, an issue that will be taken up in November.

Richins and her attorneys claiming that the letter is a “fictional novel” shows how asinine it is to think KR can write anything worth publishing.

She ain’t no writer.

A novel is, by its very definition, a piece of fictional writing. No writer worth their salt would describe a novel like she does.

No such thing as a fictional novel.

And yet that’s exactly what she tells her brother she’s writing.

And what her learned attorney repeats.

Yes, please, let’s see the rest of this “Mexican prison” manuscript. There isn’t one, especially one that’s 60+ pages.

It’s so obvious it’s just what it looked like, a letter written to her mother.
I can not believe her attorney is going along with the ridiculous lies her client is spewing. It’s really not a good look. Jmo

She’s claiming the contraband Crest White strips are part of her “book”. IMO, if she really had written 60+ pages, she was simply using that to hide the letter in.
And if she really gave Skye the 60 pages where are they now?
Not that they have anything to do with the letter as she claims. I guess she doesn’t know that novels are way longer than 60 pages. That would be more like, at most a novella? …. just sayin.
She’s as full of it as a Christmas goose.

The WTG letter wasn't even with the 60-page blab-betty-blab.
 
There's gonna be evidence in the whiteness of KR's teeth compared with what they looked like before.

Envy much: She prolly got the idea about Crest White strips and why Skye would be all in with that, by looking at Skye's brilliant whites.
