Agreed. About a year or so ago I started paying more attention to photos attached to articles and its eye opening. If not for the seriousness of the crime, it's laughable how media just might be attempting to sway public opinion. idk. moo

9 a.m. A letter was found at the foot of the bed. Nester mentions several times where searches were done and there was never a letter at the foot of the bed. Gipson confirms. Then they found a letter at the foot of the bed in November. Nester asks how many times a private investigator was present when law enforcement searched the home. Gipson says once.
8:58 a.m. Nester asks if there was ever a time Gipson conducted a search because a private investigator told them there were items in the house worth going back for. Gipson says yes. Two times. Nester asks about the first time they went back. Gipson says it was about a voice recorder. The private investigator told law enforcement and a warrant was issued. Police went back and got the recorder. The second time they went back was to retrieve a letter on Nov. 7, 2024.

as an aside, these two items are the most interesting lines of questioning by this lackluster defense thus far IMO.

A green jacket was found in the southeast corner of a closet and there were some gummies in a pocket. Nester now asking about a search on May 8, 2023. Gipson says the purpose of the search was to obtain additional electronics, documents and drugs. No fentanyl was located in the home during that search. On Oct. 24, 2023, investigators returned. Gipson believes they were collecting more electronics that day, but would need to check her notes for complete confirmation.
Gipson says copper cups were found in the home. Nester says if Kouri told investigators that her husband took gummies the night he died, finding those gummies would have corroborated her story. Gipson responds, "We found gummies." Nester makes some other statements about Kouri's statements being corroborated based on what investigators found. Prosecutors object and ask for sidebar.

Gipson was in charge of keeping the video and audio interviews of the witnesses. Nester asks about audio or video missing from two interviews. Nester asks about audio or video footage missing from the interviews of Nick Von Savage and Nancy Peterson. Gipson is unsure if she's ever been able to locate those two interviews.

not just media but the defense team in how they choose to portray their client to influence the jury's opinion.

Nester asks about Eric's Apple Watch seized from the home and how much data was on the watch. Gipson says there was some data on it, but she doesn't recall if it had been deleted. Nester asks Nov. 7, 2024, to search when an Epipen was found. It was found in the kitchen. Nester asks if this is used for someone who has allergic reactions. Yes. Nester asks about an Epipen found in the master bedroom. Syringes were also found in the master bathroom/bedroom. They were taken into evidence. They were not tested because they had not been used. They are still in evidence. A syringe in the kitchen was tested and it was tested. Gipson doesn't recall what the syringe tested positive for.

Solid cross-exam continues from the defense team.
Gipson mentions the Apple Watch HAD data, 'very little data' on it that belonged to Eric Richins.
Previously someone testified that Kouri deleted/wiped the watch and handed it to one of her children on March 4, 2022.

Nester asks about quetiapine pills found in the house. There were two pills that had been cut in half. Nester clarifies that the last search on the home was Feb. 9, 2026. A black Under Armor jacket was taken from one of the downstairs bedroom closets. There were a lot of jackets in the home. Nester asks about the search of the trucks. One was a brown work truck, another was a red truck. Nester asks which one was searched. Gipson believe it was the red one in the garage. Nester asks about the brown truck being searched. Gipson did not personally search the brown truck.

Defense in UT v. Kouri Richins keeps hammering the investigation into Eric Richins’ death. During the cross of CSI Chelsea Gipson, the focus is on the THC gummies and hydrocodone pills collected. Bottom line: Did investigators do enough testing to rule out fentanyl from any source unrelated to Kouri?

Nester asks about a K9 search of the home. It was on April 14, 2023. Nester asks if the dog went into vehicles. Gipson is unaware. Nester has no further questions. Prosecution will now question.

Prosecution asks about the first search on March 4, 2022. Police did not have a search warrant as Eric had just died. Prosecutor mentions the times police went back searching for fentanyl because fentanyl killed Eric Richins. Prosecutor asks if a brown truck was at the home on April 13, 2023. Gipson does not recall. If there was a brown truck there and something was found in it, would Gipson been made aware of it? Yes, she says.

Nester questions Gipson about hydrocodine found in a 'baggy' in the laundry room "up high".
She then segues to the THC gummies (photo) and asks about where they were located.
Gipson tells her that the photo of all the THC packaging was from an area all found 'together' and learned additional THC gummies were found elsewhere.
INTERESTING: We're getting to the topic of the 'letter' found at the end of the bed on November 7, 2024.
Gipson testifies that it didn't appear the letter was on the end of the bed during previous searches but they were 'tipped off' by a private investigator about a letter and a recording device.
This letter was booked into evidence.
Solid cross-exam continues from the defense team.

Cant blame Gipson for wanting to be released from her subpoena. Geesha!
Prosecutor shows images of the gummies and asks Gipson clarifying questions about where they were found in the home. We now see a photo Gipson took of a jacket in the home. She's asked if she knew it was a man's or woman's jacket. Gipson couldn't tell. Gipson asks about the black Under Armor jacket. She's asked why she retrieved it. "It was the jacket a pair of tweezers and a small piece of plastic was located in." Gipson asks why they kept going back to the house. "We obtained additional information that we may have missed originally." Prosecutor asks if the investigation is developing and if they're receiving new information. Yes.
Gipson asked if she ever participated in downloading "secret" phone calls." Gipson asks what she means by secret phone calls. Prosecutor repeats the question. Gipson says no. Prosecutor has nothing further. Nester following up and asks if police can legally search a home with consent of the homeowner. That's correct. Nester says Kouri never stopped them and they didn't search the home the night Eric died.
Nester asks if Gipson, on the night of the death, ever asked Kouri if she could take photos of the bedroom, bathroom or take the cups found in the sink. Gipson did not. Nester done questioning. Prosecutor has nothing further. Gipson is not released from her subpoena, meaning defense could re-call her as a witness.

Nester back questioning Gipson when she knew there were suspicions about Kouri Richins.
Gipson admitted she knew 'that day', but never went to Kouri to ask to photograph certain parts of the home (bathroom, closet, etc).
Gipson is still on the stand but questioning is complete.

I get where they’re going with this, but the gummies were mass produced. Not like something a friend got from a guy who made them. No way in the thousands and thousands of batches, one gummy happened to be laced.
