In this Case Brief update on the Kouri Richins case, we delve into the latest motions filed by the defense, including their attempt to subpoena Kouri Richins' sister-in-law, Katie Richins-Benson, the executive of the estate. The defense is seeking financial activities of the Eric Richins' living trust from March 3rd, 2022, to the present, as well as copies of checks drawn from the sister-in-law's personal or business accounts made payable to individuals connected to the investigation. Katie's attorney responds to the subpoena, calling the requests vague, ambiguous, and an "undue burden" and "blind fishing expedition" aimed at harassment. The attorney clarifies that individuals the defense insinuated were "paid witnesses" are actually retained expert witnesses in the civil case regarding the estate.
The defense claims a witness, Robert Crozier, recanted his statement about selling fentanyl, now stating he only sold Oxy or Roxy's. The prosecution argues there's no undisclosed exculpatory evidence and that Crozier's recent assertion is not credible. The defense's motion to reconsider bail and conditions of release is discussed, with the prosecution asserting that Crozier's changed statement does not amount to a material change in circumstance. Kouri Richins' attorneys request a hearing in the civil case regarding the estate to compel production of trust report information and enforce an order requiring trust accounting, believing this information will impact the criminal trial. Stay tuned for more updates on the Kouri Richins case as motions ramp up and court dates are set.
