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

Lloyd remembers telling friends, Katie Richins-Benson and others about this conversation.

Back and forth we go about the statement, "it would be better if Eric was dead."

Lloyd is released. Judge tells her to not read; watch anything about the case.

Two things can be true.

KR could have said it would be better if ER were dead before she formulated to plan to do it.

And her friend, hearing it, could have assumed it was a kind of venting and idle threat, only to recall it in a searing way later, after his suspicious death.


The Defense is drowning.

Take out for two.

Charming.

Brunch no less.

Defense: and what kind of bagel? Is it a fried egg? Over hard?

Oh, Kouri. Sinking sinking sinking.

things are busy today at the office, what is the significance of this witness? Why are we discussing a breakfast order of Kouri's

 

[Megnut]

What is her point????? People order hot food to go every day!!!!

It confirms brunch with RJG.

ETA I think I'm wrong on the date. This might be the poisoned sandwich.

 

[tlcya]

I am so confused right now.

 

[arielilane]

Morin making me hungry, describing the 'greek omelet' that's been on the menu since day 1 (13 years ago).

Nester is cross-examining and we're breaking down the order from Kouri Richins on 2/14/22.

No reaction from the jury regarding the food descriptions.

Again, what was her point?

But dang it, now I'm hungry.

It confirms brunch with RJG.

ah thank you, is the argument Nester is going for that this was breakfast and not brunch? as if that flippin matters??

 

[Megnut]

I am so confused right now.

Don't be. That's the Defense's currency.

This witness confirms that KR met up with someone, take out order for two, which corroborates RJG's testimony (he couldn't recall exactly) and their text chain.

JMO

ETA I'M WRONG. This was the purchase prior to the poisoned sandwich.

 

[Megnut]

ah thank you, is the argument Nester is going for that this was breakfast and not brunch? as if that flippin matters??

Yup.

KR may have picked it up and they didn't eat it until later. Most everyone I know knows how to operate a microwave. And in the age of Door Dash, everyone who orders their food that way is familiar with lukewarm food.

Defense is doing more damage than good by crossing these witnesses.

JMO

ETA This is the poisoned sandwich!

11:18 a.m. Next witness went to another building. Taking a 5-minute recess.


11:16 a.m. The order was placed at 8:55 a.m. and picked up at 9:07 a.m. Nester has nothing further. Neither does prosecution. Witness is released.

11:12 a.m. The name on the order was from Kouri. No further questions from the prosecution. Nester will cross-examine Morin. She asks for the Greek omelet and bagel sandwich to be highlighted. Nester asks Morin if his menu items have been similar for a long time. She asks what’s in the Greek omelet. It comes with a choice of hashbrowns, country potatoes, or quinoa salad. Nester asks what’s in the bagel sandwich. Nester asks how the orders are packaged. Because there are hashbrowns, it’s in a styrofoam box. Nester says you wouldn’t want to eat an egg sandwich cold. Morin says that’s debatable.


11:08 a.m. Next witness is Gabriel Morin. He owns the Mirror Lake Diner in Kamas. Brad Bloodworth is questioning on behalf of the prosecution. He shows Morin some records. We see a receipt on the screen. At 9:07 a.m. on Feb. 14, 2022, Megan, the employee, took a to-go order that was paid for in person. Total was $41.99. Now we see a breakdown of Megan’s transactions at the end of her shift from that day.

It confirms brunch with RJG.

I think this is the day of the (alleged) attempted murder by poisoned sandwich. Valentines. The brunch date with RJG was supposed to be on the day Eric died.

Ooooooooh.

This next witness makes sense then.

(Adding corrections to my prior posts.)

Court is back in session. Next witness is Joshua Kaze. He knew Eric Richins professionally and they were friends too. They went hunting, camping and hiking together. The last hike they went on in Colorado was physically demanding, Kaze says.
