1 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 1: Hey, the of course, it is Saturday, February twenty first, and 2 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:17,440 Speaker 1: a trial is starting on Monday that true crime enthusiasts 3 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 1: and Internet detectives have been waiting four years on. It's 4 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 1: the case of an author who wrote a children's book 5 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 1: to help kids deal with the death of a parent. 6 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,840 Speaker 1: She wrote the book, police say after she killed her 7 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 1: own husband, and with that, welcome to this episode of 8 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: amy and TJ killed her own husband, who happened to 9 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,520 Speaker 1: be the father of her children. And just to throw 10 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 1: in a little more, she did it and the motive 11 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: was money. And another man wrote this story has everything. 12 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 2: It really does, and it reads like a true crime novel. 13 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 2: And yes, they say, within weeks of her publishing this 14 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 2: book on helping children deal with greef of the loss 15 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 2: of a parent, she was charged with taking a parent 16 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 2: away from her own child. 17 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 3: It really is. I mean, that is something where truth 18 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 3: is stranger than fiction. 19 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: What do you think about the title of the book? 20 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: Knowing this now with all the context, because I was 21 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: very curious. You were the one that brought this story 22 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,919 Speaker 1: to my attention that it was coming up on Monday, 23 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: and I first thought was what was the book title? 24 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 3: What do you think the book title is are You 25 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 3: with Me? 26 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 2: And so it's talking about the spirit or the I 27 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 2: don't want to say ghost, but just the energy of 28 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 2: a loved one still with you from above looking down 29 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 2: as an angel. 30 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 3: I guess I believe that was kind of the through line. 31 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 2: But that is pretty creepy if you're the one who 32 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 2: now is charged with making someone an angel by killing 33 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 2: them viciously. 34 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: And this book was published in twenty twenty three. Her 35 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: husband died in twenty twenty two. She was charged right 36 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: weeks after the book was actually published. But the woman's 37 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: name is Cory Richins. And this starts on Monday. This 38 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: trial out in Utah. This crime happened just outside of 39 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: Park City. She is charged with killing her husband, name 40 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: is Eric Richins, killed him by poisoning him. According to prosecutors, 41 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: that poisoning was fentanyl poisoning that she put into his 42 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 1: drink and medical examiner said he had five times the 43 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: legal dose in his system. This is a mother. I 44 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: didn't catch the ages on the kids on if you have, 45 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: but she is a mother of three. Yes, out there 46 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 1: in Utah. 47 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 2: I didn't get the ages of the children either, but 48 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 2: it did seem like they were younger children, just from 49 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 2: the photos that I saw, some family photos that have 50 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 2: been circulating online. So certainly this is devastating to the 51 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 2: entire family. But my goodness, that is hard to imagine 52 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 2: five times the limit of fentanyl. 53 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 3: And look they have. 54 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 2: It seems like prosecutors have quite the list of evidence 55 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 2: against her, at least what they presented so far, including 56 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,119 Speaker 2: the fact that she bought fetanyl from the family's housekeeper 57 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 2: weeks before, and this wasn't the first time, according to police, 58 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 2: she tried to kill her husband, So. 59 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 3: The dates line up with her her acquiring ventanyl. 60 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,399 Speaker 1: And there was a reason as well. I didn't dive 61 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: into it as much, but there was an issue with 62 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: prenuptial agreement and that the motive, at least according to 63 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: authorities robes is money and there was money she thought 64 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: would be coming her way and the only way she 65 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: would get it as if if he died before they divorced. 66 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 2: Yes, the way, one local news reporter wrote it, when 67 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 2: you look at the prenup because he had come into 68 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,839 Speaker 2: this arrangement, this union pretty well off, and so he 69 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 2: made sure that he took care of him and his 70 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 2: soon to be children or his one day children, and 71 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 2: she would be left pretty much out in the cold 72 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 2: if she divorced him. So he was, as they put it, 73 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 2: better off dead to her than he was divorced. 74 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 3: There was no question. 75 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 2: And so that prenup, unfortunately, that he thought was going 76 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 2: to protect him and his finances and his future offspring, 77 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 2: may have ended up being the reason why. 78 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 3: Wow, he was killed. 79 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: I think that it was the motivation and for murder 80 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: without I mean, she needed him to be dead, yes, Thatt. Wow, 81 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: And again, this is an innocent woman. We always wanted 82 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: to point that out. She is innocent until proven otherwise. 83 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 1: But this trial does start on Monday. I saw robes 84 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 1: that she had as well as a part of this 85 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: two things. They alleged she was involved with another man, 86 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: and we talked about money that she would get. But 87 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 1: also she was in debt. Did you see where this 88 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: comes from? She was nearly two million dollars in debt. 89 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 2: I don't know how that's possible, but yes, apparently she 90 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 2: was deeply, deeply in debt, and so as a part 91 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 2: of her plan to basically get out of debt, she 92 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 2: took out millions of dollars in life insurance policies against 93 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 2: her husband. Without him knowing that, making her the sole 94 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 2: beneficiary if anything were to happen to him. So that 95 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 2: certainly doesn't look very good for her when it comes 96 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 2: to motive. 97 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 3: The prosecution obviously. 98 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 2: Will be presenting that to the jury among a lot 99 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 2: of other things. 100 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: And I wonder how they're going to get this other 101 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 1: bit in rogues. We've seen a lot of lawyering and 102 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 1: some sparring and back and forth and maneuvering when it 103 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: comes to evidence and hearsay and he said this to me. 104 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: And a part of the evidence I'm bringing all this 105 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: up rope is that there was, according to prosecutors, another 106 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,799 Speaker 1: attempt on his life by his wife that was about 107 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: a month before he actually died. And the reason they 108 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: say they know this is because of a friend that 109 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: he actually talked to who told him, I think my 110 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: wife's trying to kill me. 111 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 3: Yeah. 112 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 2: So apparently, according to prosecutors, she tried to poison him 113 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 2: on Valentine's Day of all days, in twenty twenty two 114 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 2: by putting that fetanyl that she had just us acquired. 115 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,479 Speaker 3: Into his favorite sandwich. 116 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 2: And so according to the friend, court records are saying 117 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 2: that Eric Ritchins broke out into hives. 118 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 3: After he ate a little bit of the sandwich. 119 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,559 Speaker 2: He had a hard time breathing, and so we actually 120 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 2: ended up having to use their son's EpiPen to stop 121 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 2: the allergic reaction into the benedrl. Yes, very serious, and 122 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 2: then he fell asleep for many, many hours. He obviously 123 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 2: he survived that incident, but they say that's a common thing. 124 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 3: When you get too much ventanyl you. 125 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,799 Speaker 2: Can actually have an allergic reaction, and that's obviously maybe 126 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 2: a good thing, at least if he can get you 127 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 2: the help you need, get the benadryl, get the EpiPen 128 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 2: in you to try to reverse some of the effects 129 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,119 Speaker 2: of it. So, look, the evidence that is mounted against 130 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 2: or at least as what we're seeing so far, looks 131 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 2: pretty damning. 132 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 3: Period. 133 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: That's always the case, right until we hear a defense, 134 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: and we're gonna let you hear what their defense is 135 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: so far, at least publicly what they're saying in but 136 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: robes this is I thought this was pretty tell. Just 137 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: the idea that there was another attempt on his life 138 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: just a month before, I think that looks absolutely awful. 139 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: And to the point where he told someone I think 140 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: my wife tried to poison me so he had this 141 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: in his mind robes. But I look and I think 142 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: about and we have to remember, and I don't know 143 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: if we've mentioned already, he had gone, according to prosecutors, 144 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: to see a divorce attorney. He had gone and was 145 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: already looking into getting divorced once he found out about 146 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: all her financial ocenanigans. 147 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 2: Yes, and so he was already looking to He was 148 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 2: already taking money, I believe, and putting it into a trust, 149 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 2: under a trust to protect him and his children if 150 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 2: she were to even pursue a divorce or if he 151 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 2: were to file divorce against her. So he was already 152 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 2: getting basically his assets in order. It seemed as if 153 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 2: he was preparing financially to filed papers on his own. 154 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: Isn't that something? What do they say? It's for women? 155 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: Right in these situations, the most dangerous time is when 156 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: they decide to leave, Right in that moment, when they 157 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: declare their leaving, that is when it's the most dangerous 158 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: for them. It's weird to think about this, like a 159 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: clock is ticking. The most dangerous time for him is 160 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: when he went to go see a divorced when the 161 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: clock is ticking on a prenuptial agreement. That is such 162 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: a good point, roll I didn't put it. Think about 163 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: it that way. He might still be alive if he 164 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: didn't have that prenuptial Oh. Absolutely, she had forced her 165 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: to make a move, allegedly, at least according to prosecutors. 166 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: But to think of it that way, it's interesting. Now 167 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 1: they will have a defense of some kind, and they 168 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: are defending him so far, at least publicly. Will let 169 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: you know her publicly, excuse me, we will let you 170 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,559 Speaker 1: know what her team of attorneys is saying about what 171 00:08:55,600 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: you've been hearing about the case so far. All right, folks, 172 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: We continue here on this Saturday of February twenty first, 173 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: getting set for a Monday, February twenty third trial. The 174 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: beginning of the trial rogues. We were trying to remember 175 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,719 Speaker 1: this case when it first happened. This was almost three 176 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,959 Speaker 1: years ago now. But if you start googling this case 177 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: and look up her name was this Corey Richins. This 178 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: story is everywhere. It's one of those social media type 179 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: mysteries people have jumped. 180 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 3: On one hundred percent. 181 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 2: She's this beautiful, cute woman who had a perfect family, 182 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 2: or at least it seemed she did with her three children, 183 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 2: her very wealthy and attractive husband. Yes, they were like 184 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 2: the picture perfect Christmas card you get in the mail 185 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:51,959 Speaker 2: from a friend. 186 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 3: Wow, don't they have it all? 187 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 2: So? Yes, it has all the makings for all the 188 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 2: salicious headlines you could imagine. And the fact that she 189 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 2: writes a book about grief for other families as she 190 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 2: watches her own children struggle with their grief over their 191 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 2: father's death. Wow, you think this woman is just just 192 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 2: working through her pain and helping others along the way. 193 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 3: Record scratch. 194 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 2: She's charged with murdering her husband, the father of her 195 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 2: three children. 196 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: You know she was. She was hailed as someone who 197 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: was bouncing back from this tragedy, someone who's helping her 198 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: children through it through a self published book. I don't 199 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: know how well it ended up doing, but still she 200 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: was applauded in her community for what she did. So 201 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: you can imagine how this rattled the area. To think 202 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: that she was only able to write the book based 203 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:50,679 Speaker 1: on a crime that she. 204 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 3: Committed, it's crazy. 205 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 2: I went to go look up her book Are You 206 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 2: with Me? And it shows how you can buy it 207 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 2: on Amazon. It has a write up and I noticed 208 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 2: right now it only has one point seventy one stars, and. 209 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 3: You start looking at the comments. 210 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 2: People have already jumped on this story and are just 211 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 2: evistraating saying, how could you write this book? You're a killer, 212 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 2: so it's interesting people have already jumped onto this page, 213 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 2: but just even reading the first line of the book's description. 214 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:21,319 Speaker 2: A heartwarming and reassuring book that gently guides children through 215 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 2: the difficult experience. 216 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 3: Of losing a loved one. 217 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 2: Written by a loving mother who personally faced this challenge. 218 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 2: This book is designed to offer comfort and solace to 219 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 2: young minds in a way that is both accessible and 220 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 2: engaging to every true right. 221 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 3: But to think, yes, you're right, I had thought about it, that. 222 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: She genuinely wanted to help her kids through the loss 223 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: of their dad. 224 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 2: That she wady took police created no, but just to 225 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 2: think about the look again, she is innocent until proven guilty, 226 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 2: But to imagine. 227 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 3: That say she did do what police says she did, to. 228 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 2: Double down and have the audacity to try and profit 229 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 2: off of being this good Samaritan, loving mother who's trying 230 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 2: to protect her children, if you're actually a vicious, cold 231 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,679 Speaker 2: hearted killer who just wants money and her hot new 232 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 2: side piece. 233 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,439 Speaker 3: I mean, that is crazy to think about. 234 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: This is why these stories are fascinating, because we can't 235 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: imagine someone being capable of the things that are being 236 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: alleged in this story. The Brendan Banfield, the Canaro case. 237 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: People a guy who stabs to death his young niece 238 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: and nephew and then sets the house on fire. The 239 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:44,199 Speaker 1: Canaro we can't imagine that someone's capable of that. Brendan Banfield, 240 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: we can't the old Pair thing. We can't imagine. It 241 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense. 242 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 3: Robes. 243 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: I would love to air on the side of this 244 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: woman being innocent, because I don't want to think that 245 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: somebody is capable of that. 246 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 2: It's really hard to get your head around that and 247 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 2: your heart around it. But we do have her statement. 248 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 2: This was given to the press from her attorneys. But 249 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 2: this is what Corey Richins has to say. Corey has 250 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 2: waited nearly three years for this moment, the opportunity to 251 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 2: have the facts of this case heard by a jury, 252 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 2: free from the prosecution's narrative that has dominated headlines since 253 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 2: her arrest. What the public has been told bears little 254 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 2: resemblance to the truth. So they're basically saying that we're 255 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 2: going to hear more. 256 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 3: She said. 257 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,239 Speaker 2: We welcome the courtroom where evidence is bound by rules, 258 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 2: not sensational coverage. Corey is a mother who wants to 259 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 2: go home to her children. We are confident this jury 260 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 2: will make that possible. 261 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: What is coming Because when you say the public has 262 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: been told a story that bears little resemblance to the truth, 263 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: what does this mean. That's some careful lawyering in language, 264 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: and that's fine, but ro you know they're going to 265 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: mount some kind of defense. 266 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,559 Speaker 2: Up until now, the only possible suggestion is that Corey Richins, 267 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 2: who has said that her husband had a a fentanyl addiction, 268 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 2: is going to say that this was just an accidental overdose, 269 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 2: that this was not something that she perpetrated, or that 270 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 2: she slipped into his moscow mule. We didn't even get 271 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 2: into the fact that that's a whole part of all 272 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 2: the headlines, that she apparently made this moscow mule for 273 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 2: him and then slipped the fentanyl with I guess a 274 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 2: powerful sleep aid on top of it into his. 275 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 3: Drink and that is what ultimately killed him. But she's 276 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 3: claiming he had an addiction. 277 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: We will see what the defense decides to mount. Jury 278 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: selection he assume begins on Monday. 279 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 2: I believe that the trial begins testimony begins on Testimony 280 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 2: begins on Monday, but they're expecting us to run for 281 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 2: about five weeks. 282 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a long trial. 283 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 2: And we will be covering it because we have just 284 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 2: now finished our other two trials that you actually just mentioned, 285 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 2: the Paul Canaro trial and the Brendan Manfield trial. So 286 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 2: here we go again, but this time you have Corey 287 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 2: Richand's mother of three, who claims she is innocent. Thirty 288 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 2: five year old woman says she just wants to go 289 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 2: back home to her children. We of course will follow 290 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 2: all of the details for you, but wanted to catch 291 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 2: you up on it before. 292 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 3: That trial actually begins on Monday. Thank you for listening everyone. 293 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 3: I'm Amy Roebuck alongside TJ. Holmes. We'll talk to you soon.
