00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 2: I'm Nicole parton the trial of Poory Richins is currently

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 2: put on pause as her defense team pursues an appeal

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 2: regarding the court's decision to keep the case in Summit

5
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 2: County rather than transfer it to Salt Lake County. Richins

6
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 2: faces serious felony charges, including murder and homicide, for allegedly

7
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 2: poisoning her husband, Eric Richins. According to the autopsy, Eric

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 2: had fitenil in his system at levels five times higher

9
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 2: than what was considered lethal. The medical examiner reported that

10
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: the fintanil was illicit, not prescribed, and indicated that it

11
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 2: had been ingested orally. Prosecutors argue that Eric was poisoned

12
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: with a lethal mix containing fitnail. In March, the defense

13
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: sought to relocate the trial to Salt Lake County, pointing

14
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 2: to the extensive media attention the case has received, even

15
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 2: reaching a national audience. During a recent hearing, attention was

16
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 2: fuelocused on two case awareness surveys conducted in both Summit

17
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 2: and Salt Lake Counties. One was commissioned by the prosecution,

18
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 2: while the other was initiated by rich AND's legal team.

19
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 2: These surveys aimed to assess whether the pre existing media

20
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 2: coverage could influence potential jurors or potentially infringe on the

21
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 2: defendant's rights to a fair trial. On Sunday evening, the

22
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 2: defense submitted an expert affidavit supporting their motion, which detailed

23
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 2: their findings of their survey, conducted by doctor Brian Eldeman

24
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 2: and Iron Insights Group. Eldeman has previously served as an

25
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 2: expert witness in several high profile cases, including a survey

26
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 2: he conducted for the defense in the case of Brian Koberger,

27
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 2: who is being tried for the murders of four University

28
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 2: of Idaho students. After extensive testimony and discussions, the judge

29
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 2: determined that the difference in the jury pool between the

30
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: two counties was minimal, largely due to their close proximity.

31
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 2: He also noted the logistical challenges that would arise from

32
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: either transporting riches to Salt Lake County for the trial

33
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 2: or having jurors travel from Salt Lake County to Summit County.

34
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 2: Once the request to move the trial was denied, the

35
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 2: defense promptly filed a motion to pause the proceedings while

36
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 2: they seek an additional appeal. The prosecution did not oppose

37
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 2: this motion, affirming their readiness to proceed with trial now

38
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 2: or later or Crime and Justice News after this, Terrence

39
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 2: Howard recently opened up about an unsettling encounter he had

40
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 2: with Sean Diddy Combs, revealing that the music mogul attempted

41
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 2: to seduce him shortly after facing serious legal allegations, including

42
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 2: new allegations of sex trafficking. In a candid discussion on

43
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 2: Patrick Bette David's PbD podcast, which aired on April fourth,

44
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 2: the Empire star recounted his experience with Didda. Howard shared

45
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 2: that Diddy had persistently invited him over, expressing a desire

46
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 2: for Howard to be his acting coach. He recounted, quote,

47
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 2: Puffy kept reaching out, asking me to come help him

48
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 2: with this, help him with that, help him with acting. However,

49
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 2: things took a turn when did he ask Howard to

50
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 2: listen to his music? He said, quote I went over,

51
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 2: played the music, and he just sat there staring at me.

52
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 2: Howard described the moment. He continued by saying how his

53
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 2: assistant later suggested that did he wanted to pursue a

54
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 2: more intimate relationship. Quote My assistant said, I think he's

55
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: trying to hook up with you. I laughed and thought,

56
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 2: now I understand it's time to keep my distance, he said.

57
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 2: Howard went on to discuss a troubling trend he observed

58
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 2: among celebrities, particularly those like did He, who seemed to

59
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 2: evade accountability for their actions. He noted how some prominent

60
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 2: figures of Hollywood have suffered as a result of succumbing

61
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 2: to manipulative behaviors. Quote, when you compromise your integrity, I've

62
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 2: never seen anyone truly bounce back from that, he said,

63
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 2: referring to those who attended Ditty's parties and engaged in

64
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 2: questionable activities believing there would be no repercussions. Quote, they

65
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 2: end up being exploited by a greater desire, he said.

66
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: As previously reported, Ditty has been in federal custody since

67
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,760

70
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,360
