PARK CITY — Police officers and first responders are expected to testify during the second day of trial for Kouri Richins, a mom who wrote a children's book about grief featuring her family before being charged with fatally poisoning her husband.
On Monday, following opening statements and testimony from Eric Richins' family members, Summit County sheriff's deputy Vincent Nguyen testified about responding to the home the night Eric Richins died. In his body camera footage, which was shown to the jury, Kouri Richins is standing with her hands on either side of her head in the doorway to their master bathroom, watching as emergency responders attempt to revive her husband.
After leaving the room, he asks Richins questions about what happened that night and Eric Richins' medical history. After giving a few details, including where their sons are in the home and that he had felt "cold," Kouri Richins said through tears, "I need to call his dad, he's going to be OK, right?"
When asked about issues with his health, she mentioned Lyme disease and that he sometimes took a THC gummy before bed, but she didn't think he had. She also said he mentioned something about chest pain before bed. Although she was sleeping in another room with their son, Richins said in the video that she would have heard any yell and that her husband hadn't made a sound.
"He was active, he didn't just die in his sleep, this is insane," Richins said.
Her mom, Lisa Darden, got to the home first and told Richins that her sons knew their dad had died, and that they had heard it from a cop. She said she needed to talk to her kids, and her mom said she had already spoken to them and told them to go back to sleep.
Prosecutors said they planned to call a paramedic, two first responders and an officer who helped collect evidence to the witness stand on Tuesday.
