In a pretrial conference on Friday, Judge Richard Mrazik, attorneys for the prosecution, and attorneys for Richins met to set a new jury trial date. Judge Mrazik confirmed that the stay on the trial has been lifted.

The jury selection has been set for Feb. 10 – 13, and 17 – 18 in 2026. The jury trial will commence Feb. 23 and run for five weeks, Monday through Thursday, until March 26, 2026.

The afternoon of June 13, Richins’ defense attorneys told Mrazik they’d like six days to select jurors. The judge says his team will send questionnaires to 2,000 Summit County residents, and 240 can be called in for questioning.

The juror questioning, which attorneys call “voir dire,” will be Feb. 10 through Feb. 13, plus Feb. 17 and Feb. 18.

Utah requires a panel of eight, with four alternate jurors.

Defense attorney Kathy Nester says she proposed an extra week, stretching the trial to five weeks, in part because of prosecutors “massive” potential witness list. She says there are over 100 names.

Accused murderer Kouri Richins facing new mortgage fraud, money laundering charges​

PARK CITY, Utah — Kouri Richins, who will go on trial next year for the murder of her husband, now faces over two dozen new charges that include mortgage fraud, forgery and money laundering.

The new charges below were filed Friday in a Summit County court:

• MORTGAGE FRAUD (5 charges)
• MONEY LAUNDERING (7)
• FORGERY (5)
• ISSUING A BAD CHECK (7)
• COMMUNICATIONS FRAUD (1)
• PATTERN OF UNLAWFUL ACTIVITY (1)

According to the charging documents, Richins used her power of attorney to take out a $250,000 Home Equity Line of Credit on the premarital home of her husband, Eric, without him knowing.

Richins allegedly formed her own LLC, K. Richins Realty, and used the money from the line of credit to fund the business.

When Eric Richins learned about the secret line of credit in October 2020, the charges claim Kouri replied that she would repay the loan. Despite Eric believing the line of credit had been paid off, it had not been when he was found dead in March 2022.
