This Feels Criminal: A True Crime Podcast (Formerly Killer Queens)

In the conclusion of our "Best of the Trial" series, Tyrella and Nikita dive into the most emotional and bizarre moments from the Kouri Richins courtroom.

We start with Robert Grossman, the "boyfriend" whose testimony began with a moment so unusual that Judge Mrazik had to halt proceedings to explain the concept of "the whole truth." We break down the devastating texts, the $25,000 life insurance payment, and the chilling question Kouri asked him just two weeks after her husband's death.

Then, we look at the strategic battle over the "Drug Chain." Even with a witness who couldn't remember his own interview, the prosecution had a secret weapon: location data.

Highlights:


The moment the courtroom went silent during the oath.


Why the defense’s cross-examination of the housekeeper might have been their biggest mistake.


Tyrella’s "official" review of Judge Richard Mrazik (the man with the voice of an angel).

Episode Title: Kouri Richins Trial: The PI Who Cracked the Case (Part 1)

Kouri Richins was convicted of murdering her husband, Eric, with five times the lethal dose of fentanyl in a Moscow Mule she made for him. But while the world was focused on her children’s book about grief, Tyrella was focused on the three weeks of absolute courtroom chaos that led to the verdict.

In Part 1 of our "Best of the Trial" series, we aren’t just rehashing the timeline—we’re talking about the witnesses who actually made the case. From a Private Investigator with a GoPro and a fused neck who became the defense's worst nightmare, to the heartbreaking testimony of a best friend who realized she was actually a target.


The Quick Reset: The Moscow Mule, the $2 million life insurance policy, and the book that started it all.


Todd Gabler, PI: Why a man with 34 years of defense experience ended up being the State’s star witness.


The "Sexting" Cross: How the defense tried to smear Eric Richins, and why it completely backfired.


The Forensic Accountant: Breaking down the -$1.6 million net worth and the "death exit ramp."


Chelsea Barney: The heavy cost of a 20-year friendship with a fraudster.

In 1991 in a small, rural town in Wisconsin, five members of the Brenizer/Berentson family left their home to go shopping.  When they didn’t return, 15-year-old Bruce was concerned that his father, stepmother, and sisters were missing.  As the investigation unfolded, rumors of an ax murderer or satanic worship were afoot, but when the truth was revealed, it was much worse than anyone in this small town could imagine.

In September of 1996, 15-year-old Danielle “Danni” Houchins was found lifeless and face down in a marshy area in Belgrade, Montana. The local sheriff’s department ruled her cause of death as drowning and her manner of death as undetermined. The sheriff told the press that there were no indications of foul play, despite autopsy findings showing the exact opposite. For 24 years, Danni’s case continued to grow cold, despite her family’s insistence that her death wasn’t an accident until a retired LAPD detective entered the chat and refused to quit.

What happens when you turn a "bullshit" police raid into a viral rap song? In August 2022, the Adams County Sheriff’s Office raided Afroman’s home looking for a basement dungeon that didn't exist. When no charges were filed, Afroman did what he does best: he made music. Using security and bodycam footage, he released hits like "Lemon Pound Cake" and "Randy Walters," leading seven officers to sue him for defamation and false light.

Join Tyrella and Nikita as they break down the March 2026 civil trial, the "actual malice" standard for public officials, and the "diabolically funny" moments in the courtroom—from "reshuffling" seized cash to a witness who didn't know if his own wife had cheated. It’s a masterclass in the First Amendment, parody as criticism, and why you should never mess with Afroman's mom’s pound cake.
