UT - Kouri Richins, 33, Author, wife, mom, charged in husband’s unexpected death last year, May 2023 #3

Are we really talking about who sits where in the car ...on the way to buying drugs for Kouri? Seriously?

Wish this defense attorney knew how to approach a witness in a skillful way using critical thinking skills with line of questioning.
Get in, get out. Stop wasting jurors valuable time as well as others with all this nonsense. She is not effective.

At this point, it sounds like rambling to me.


Just my opinion

Lewis reads from a transcript of the interview Carmen had with investigators, where Carmen said Kouri never asked for fentanyl. Kouri asked her to get "Michael Jackson stuff." Lewis says we will come back to this so she doesn't confuse Carmen by jumping around.

Lewis asks Carmen what fentanyl goes for. She isn't sure. Lewis asks if she knows it's really cheap - at least it was in 2023, she says. Lewis asks if Carmen picked the money up on the same day she bought the pills. Carmen isn't sure. Lewis asks Carmen if she's aware that Kouri didn't own the Midway home in February 2022 and had sold the home at the end of January 2022. Carmen was not aware of that.

Lewis now shows the selfie Carmen took with Nancy Peterson on the way to pick up the pills. Carmen says Nancy drove on the way to pick up the pills but Carmen drove on the way back because Nancy wanted to get high.

Carmen admits to always driving without a driver's license. Lewis asks about Carmen's third purchase from Robert Crozier. Carmen tells Lewis she's confusing her because she keeps bouncing back and forth.

I think it was a big blunder for the defense to play that audio with Nick since it confirmed they were getting drugs for KR, and that KR said her guy went out of town.

I hope and pray that CL does not relapse after testifying.
Wishing her all the best in life.

Edit: CL does come across as doing well in life now. Strong person.

I did not understand why they played that either!

I don’t get it either. It seemed like the point was to prove “we” were buying drugs since Carmen said the “we” meant they were going to together?

Stupid. MOO

I think Carmen will be fine. She has found her footing today and looks and sounds much more confident in her answers today. IMO this cross has turned into a train wreck for the defense.

Carmen should be proud of herself because she is not the one mixing everything up!

feeble attempt to suggest Carmen and Nick wanted drugs. Trying to imply it was always them that wanted the drugs, not defendant. all it did was illustrate that Nick wished KR wanted more because he wanted to procure them for a profit.

rest room break, temp in courtroom is chilly and adjustments will be made

Lewis asks Carmen to refresh her memory by reading a transcript. Lewis then asks if the second time she went back to Crozier, did she ask for something stronger. Carmen says she's confused. "You're confusing," she says to Lewis. The second time, Carmen asked for "more of the same" - nothing stronger.

Lewis asks Carmen if she told investigators that she made three purchases for Kouri Richins - one from Susan Kohler, two from Robert Crozier. Carmen says that's correct - what she remembered at the time. One from Susan in February, one from Robert in February and one from Robert on March 9. "I know you've changed your story and you now say there's another story, but this is what you told them a year after these events," Lewis says.

Is the Defense seriously trying to impeach CL on three vs four purchases?

If there were only three, then suddenly KR's investor stopped needed strong drugs when ER died.

No one can follow this soup.

Not a good sign when the judge is having to rephrase your questions. MOO

Five minute recess

Court resumes at 10:20 am MT and 12:20 pm ET


Judge Mrazik: "No one can start without me".

 

[Megnut]

Judge: I recognize the temperature in this room is approaching meat locker.

 

[Megnut]

Oh, man. Judge wants Ms. Lewis to join him in chambers.

 

[Megnut]

Principal's office, Anyone?

 

[tlcya]

Judge invites Lewis and Blloodworth to join him in his chambers. I have a feeling the judge is going to tell Lewis to wrap it up she's been trying to impeach Carmen for hours now, at this point it's a very dead she's flogging. she's asked the same questions 14 ways to Sunday.
