PARK CITY — Prosecutors are continuing to present witnesses on Tuesday in the jury trial for Kouri Richins.

The 12 jurors have already heard from the victim's family members, first responders, people who testified about providing drugs to Richins, the medical examiner and the investigator who analyzed her phone.

On Monday, Chris Kotrodimos testified about searches on her phone shortly after police took her previous phone just over a month after her husband's death. There were searches for remotely deleting messages, what cops and the FBI do with electronics, white collar crimes, "luxury prisons for the rich," whether life insurance companies pay if a death certificate is still pending and Kouri Richins' own net worth.

Kouri Richins, a Kamas mom and real estate agent, is accused of fatally poisoning Eric Richins on March 4, 2022. She is also accused of slipping drugs into his food, making him sick, on Valentine's Day in 2022. Tuesday is the seventh day of her jury trial, which is scheduled to last through March 27.
