PARK CITY — Chelsea Gipson, a crime scene investigation technician, is returning to the witness stand on Wednesday to finish testifying about evidence she helped collect at the home of Kouri Richins.
She testified Tuesday that she went to the home on eight different occasions and took photos, scans and evidence, including the morning Eric Richins died, about a month later and after Kouri Richins was arrested on May 8, 2023.
Gipson has already talked about prescription bottles, phones, THC edibles and a set of tweezers found in a woman's jacket pocket. The significance of the tweezers has not yet been explained, but prosecutors asked that the tweezers and four phones be turned over to the court so they could be provided to the jurors when the trial reaches deliberations.
Kouri Richins, a Kamas mother and real estate agent who published a children's book about grief, is charged with aggravated murder and attempted murder, first-degree felonies, in addition to other crimes for allegedly killing her husband, Eric Richins, with a fatal dose of fentanyl on March 4, 2022. She is also accused of slipping fentanyl in his food, making him sick, on Feb. 14, 2022.
