This episode discusses the prosecution's case against Kouri Richins, focusing on web searches related to Eric Richins' death, including queries about deleting phone information, lie detector tests, life insurance, and fentanyl.

The conversation highlights the significance of these searches, which occurred after Eric's death and were executed on Kouri's new phone. The searches were conducted after she was informed of the investigation into her for Eric's homicide.

Experts analyze whether the jury found these searches compelling or confusing. They consider how Kouri's lack of knowledge about fentanyl could potentially be used in her defense.

TLDR

Kouri Richins' web searches raise questions in her murder trial.

Now, one of the other big points for the prosecution is some of the web searches
00:00:04
made shortly thereafter Eric's death. Um queries about, for example, how to delete information from your phone, if
00:00:11
cops can force you to take a lie detector test, searches about life insurance and luxury prisons for the
00:00:17
rich in California, and also this query about a lethal dose of fentanyl. Did you
00:00:24
think that that went over with the jury in a compelling way, enough so that it was it was convincing? I think it was
00:00:31
confusing from what I saw when those happened, and I think that was really the important part of it.
00:00:40
A search warrant was executed in April, long after Eric's passed away, and they take they search Kouri's home, they take
00:00:46
all of her electronics. Those searches were conducted on her new phone, so we know that those searches were conducted
00:00:53
after she was given a copy of a search warrant that said, "We are investigating you, Kouri Richins, for the homicide of
00:01:02
Eric Richins, and we believe he died with a lethal dose of fentanyl." So so those search warrants or those
00:01:08
searches that were done I I think are explainable when she's learning for the first time, "I'm being investigated for
00:01:14
murder, they think I did it." Um and you know, now they've taken my phone. Uh I don't know what a lethal dose of
00:01:22
fentanyl is. You know, actually I think that could probably be spun in her defense. She didn't know what a lethal
00:01:28
dose of fentanyl was actually to kill them, she would know what is enough.
