I’m in Summit County today at the Third District Court House for a hearing in the Kouri Richins case. We’re told they’ll be discussing whether certain experts will be allowed to testify at her trial. They will not be streaming this, so I’ll be here monitoring it.

Apologies for my late reporting from Natalie Wadas via X:


One of the main things discussed so far was over the motion to exclude defense experts. The state said they reached an agreement with the defense. That was as follows for three of the experts:

The agreement is within 24 hours of the states expert testifying if a transcript is available or 48 hours if transcript is not available defense will provide the state with a written explanation of testimony of their expert.

Vice versa, the state said they will be giving the defense notice so they can prepare their expert as well.

Feb. 18, Judge ruled what evidence attorneys will be permitted to include during trial:



One of the things the jury won’t be allowed to consider in its decision is Richins’ assault of her sister-in-law after Eric Richins’ death.

Prosecutors will be allowed to present a few redacted pages of a letter Richins wrote in jail. Corrections officers seized the “Walk the Dog” letter they say they found in an LSAT book in her cell.

Various notes investigators found while searching the Richins family home in Francis, Utah, are allowed as well. That includes an orange notebook Mrazik’s ruling says contains apparent journal entries from the day before and day of Eric Richins’ death.
