Richins and his wife, 11 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 2: Corey were celebrating a business accomplishment. 12 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: The night he died. 13 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 2: Corey made Eric a moscow mule, which he drank in 14 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 2: the bedroom. 15 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: They say. Corey told authorities that she. 16 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 2: Left to help one of their children, and rich into 17 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 2: the bed several hours later. It was then, they say, 18 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 2: she noticed Eric was cool to the touch and called. 19 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: Nine one one. What a horrible event to leave your 20 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: husband go fall asleep in the bedroom with one of 21 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: your sons. She wanders back in there to sleep in 22 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 1: their bed around three am and her husband is cold 23 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 1: to the touch. With me in all star panel to 24 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: make sense of what we know right now. But first 25 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 1: I want to go to Chief medical examiner out of 26 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: Terran County. That's Fort Worth Lecturer, University of Texas, Austin 27 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: and Texas Christian University Medical School, Doctor Kendall Crowns, Doctor Crowns, 28 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,199 Speaker 1: it's such an honor to have you and doctor Paul 29 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: Christo with us. Doctor Crown's, my first question to you 30 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: is how long has a body How long has the 31 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: person been dead before their body is cold to the touch? 32 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 3: Hugely wants your heart job reading and your body taking 33 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 3: on the mature of the surrounding environment so it can 34 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 3: happen in a probably about a half hour to an 35 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 3: hour where you can start noticing the body and change 36 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 3: of temper temperature gotten cold. 37 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: Okay, you know, doctor Kindle Crowns. I know you're the 38 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: MD and I'm the JD. But I believe I'm going 39 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: to seek a second opinion. I'm going to go to 40 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: doctor Paul Christo, professor at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, 41 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: author of Aches and Gains, A Comprehensive Guide to Overcoming 42 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: Your Pain, Doctor Paul Christo, I thought it would take 43 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: so much longer for a body to get completely cold 44 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: to the touch, and I do agree with doctor Kendall 45 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: Crowns regarding the ambient air in the room and what 46 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: difference that would make. But in this case, they were 47 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: at home with their three little boys, so I'm assuming 48 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: I think it's safe to assume the temperature would have 49 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: been between sixty nine and let's just say seventy one. 50 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 4: Right, I mean, I would probably say somewhere around similar, 51 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 4: doctor crown probably, you know, forty minutes to an hour's. 52 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 1: Dodgor Paul Christo. How often do people just die in 53 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 1: their sleep? I mean, this is a young man who 54 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: was thirty nine years old at the time of his death. 55 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 4: Not very often surprised to say, I mean, this is 56 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 4: this is a rare event. It doesn't happen unless you have, 57 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 4: you know, maybe some underlying cardiac problems, for example, maybe 58 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 4: pulmonary problems. It's very rare just to drop dead in 59 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 4: your sleep. 60 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: You know, Doctor Angela Arnold joining me psychiatrist, renowned psychiatrist 61 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: in the Atlanta jurisdiction at angela Arnold MD dot com. 62 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: Doctor Angie. Maybe it's just my line of business, but 63 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: when I've ever I hear died in your sleep, there's 64 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: always something bad attached to that. But I guess people 65 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: really do die in their sleep. 66 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 5: Well, they do, Nancy, And it's usually older people who 67 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 5: die in their sleep. They can suffer in a rhythmia 68 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 5: of their heart, and those are the people that can 69 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 5: die in their sleep. But like you said, Nancy, whenever 70 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 5: we hear of a younger person dying in their sleep, 71 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 5: there's there's some curiosity about that. I mean, young people 72 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 5: don't have heart issues typically, so young people don't typically 73 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 5: die in their sleep, and that's typically what you die 74 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 5: from in the at night. 75 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 1: I disagree with you too, all three of you, doctors. 76 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: I and my vast knowledge of medicine disagree with all 77 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: of you. Because my dad had his first coronary thrombosis 78 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: at age thirty nine. That's pretty young. And this guy 79 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: is thirty nine. 80 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 5: Well it is, Nancy, but that's still unusual. It's not 81 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 5: that's not the norm. That's all I would say. 82 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: Okay, all right, let me get back on track. This 83 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: guy is actually celebrating, you know. Let me let Jen 84 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: Smith tell you. Jen Smith is joining us chief investigative 85 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: reporter for dailymail dot com on this from the very beginning. 86 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 1: The unusual death of Eric Rich is just thirty nine 87 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: years old, father of three little boys. Jen, thank you 88 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 1: for being with us. Explain to me how this whole 89 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 1: thing went down, because they were having a celebration that evening. 90 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 1: From what I understand, the wife, Corey Richans, flips houses. 91 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: She'll buy and she's got a business partner. They buy houses, 92 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: they improve them, and then they flip them, like on 93 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: AHGTV the flip your house. That's what she does. And 94 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: that evening they were having some kind of a celebration 95 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: because she had closed on a home. 96 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,359 Speaker 6: You tell me, Jen, Yeah, that's exactly right Nowci. But 97 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 6: they actually our understanding of it is that they worked 98 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 6: pretty closely together Kreer and her husband Eric, like you say, 99 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 6: exactly the type of business that you just described. They 100 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,919 Speaker 6: flipped houses. So when Eric came home that evening and 101 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 6: his wife is at the house with the kids, they're 102 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 6: celebrating because he has to close a deal on a 103 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 6: sale of a home, so bringing more money into the family. 104 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 6: And listen, this is a picture perfect family. They lived 105 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 6: in a really nice area not too far outside of 106 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 6: Park City in Utah. The tow is called Kamas, really 107 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 6: beautiful rural in the mountains, and they had this great life. 108 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 6: They themselves lived in a one point one million dollar home. 109 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 6: And as you rightly pointed out, Eric had just closed 110 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 6: another deal. So it was a happy occasion for the 111 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,359 Speaker 6: Richards family this evening. 112 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: Now, let me understand they're Mormons, correct, they are? 113 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 6: Yeah, so Eric Richards actually comes from a pretty prominent 114 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 6: Mormon family. The Richards family is a large family in 115 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 6: at least Stummit County. This is the area of Utah 116 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:50,239 Speaker 6: that we're talking about, many many relatives and very well 117 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 6: known in the community. He and Tury had been married 118 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 6: for nine years and they had three beautiful boys together 119 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 6: when he died. 120 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: Here's my question. I have several friends that are about Mormons. 121 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: They don't even drink chocolate milk gin because chocolate is 122 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: a stimulant. So these two are having moscow mules. 123 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 6: Yeah, So what we know know is that after he 124 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 6: returns home from closing this deal, as a celebration, Curi, 125 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 6: his wife makes him a moscow mules, the vodka ba 126 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 6: his cocktail, and that is where they kind of leave 127 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 6: things for the night. 128 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: Like you say, she goes off to get with the 129 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: son who is having a nightmare, sleeps in the room 130 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: with the sun having a nightmare. Yeah, and she leaves 131 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: him sitting up in bed, having his drink, TV going, 132 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: Everything's fine. So this mom devastated finding her husband cold 133 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: in the bed and having all sorts of survivor guilt. 134 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: Why did I leave him? I'm alive, he's dead. That 135 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: she and her children get together and they actually write 136 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: a book call are You with Me? Because it's not 137 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: like are you with me? Like do you understand? It's literally, 138 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: are you with me? Dad? Are you still with me? 139 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: Because her three little boys were having such a horrible 140 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: time dealing with their father's sudden death, she writes the 141 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: book and she's on local TV promoting it, and I 142 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: want you to hear her words, devastated after her husband's death. 143 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: Take a list an hour cut eight. 144 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 7: My husband passed away unexpectedly last year.

Each child is going to 190 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 5: have a different experience of this grief, So it's very 191 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 5: important to work with each child where they are when 192 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 5: this happens, and not gloss it over as if everyone's 193 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 5: experiencing the same kind of grief.

I remember 234 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,959 Speaker 1: as a girl, my dad have his first carnary thrombosis 235 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: at home and my mom, you know, screaming, and I 236 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: could hear a slapping sound. She was trying to or 237 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: that's what I thought it was, and it was her 238 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: trying to give him CPR to keep him alive. The 239 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: I'm just thinking about these three little boys in that 240 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: home when mom is doing CPR on Eric Richards, who 241 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: is dead in the bedroom, already cold to the touch. 242 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: And I guess, once you're call to the touch, there's 243 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,359 Speaker 1: no bringing you back. Would you agree with that, Doctor Crowns. 244 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 3: I would agree with that. Once you've gotten called, you're 245 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 3: probably pat of the time period where you can say so. 246 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: Doctor Kendall Crowns. It is unusual for thirty nine year 247 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: old man to just die in his sleep. So what 248 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: would a medical examiner do in order to determine cause 249 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: of death? 250 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 3: Well, what you do is a complete autopsy. If thirty 251 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 3: nine year olds usually don't die suddenly like that, there's 252 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 3: usually something else going on. So by doing a complete autopsy, 253 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 3: you would check all the organs for any disease, processes, 254 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 3: cornary promposas, cordinary or disease, different part and abnormalities, et cetera. 255 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 3: And then what you'd also do is draw toxicology to 256 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 3: run toxicology screens to see if there for any drugs 257 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 3: on board, and also do electrolytes or fluids from the eyeball, 258 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 3: where you could look at his dehydration status, his glue 259 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 3: coos the CFP had diabetes or. 260 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 5: Anything like that. 261 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: To justman joining us from dailymail dot com, I've taken 262 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: a long look at what we have of the medical 263 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: examiner's report. What exactly is the cause of death for 264 00:15:58,240 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: Eric Richards? 265 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 6: Well, we believe that according to this report, it's a 266 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 6: fatal dose of fentanyl, which is a synthetic opioid. Now 267 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 6: you need maybe two milligrams of this doctor to kill you. 268 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 6: He had five times out amoment in his body. 269 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: Five times the amount of a lethal dose a sentinel. 270 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: You know, I introduced to you doctor Paul Christo earlier. 271 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: In addition to being an associate prophet John Hopkins School 272 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: of Medicine, that's not shabby, he's also an opioid expert, 273 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: doctor Christo. As I said earlier, this is a devout 274 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 1: Mormon family. Again, they don't even drink chocolate milk because 275 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: they think it's a stimulant. So I've got them drinking 276 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: moscow mules plus fentunel. What exactly is fentanyl? I know 277 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,239 Speaker 1: there's an opioid crisis I know there's a fentinyl crisis. 278 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: I know people are dying every day a fentyl overdose. 279 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: But could you give us some street names. What is 280 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: fentanyl and what does it do to you? 281 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 4: Well, fentanyl is an opioid first and foremost, and opioids 282 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:15,360 Speaker 4: are used as pain relievers. They enter the bloodstream, they 283 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 4: bind to various different what are called opioid receptors in 284 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 4: the brain and spinal cord to reduce pain. First and foremost. 285 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 4: We use them for many many years as pain specialists 286 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 4: and also in the operating room. Is anisphysiologists. But fentanyl 287 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 4: is synthetic, So non synthetic opioids would be like codeine 288 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 4: for example, or morphine. Synthetic means it's just made in 289 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 4: the laboratory of a pharmaceutical company. Typically can be very 290 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 4: useful as a pain reliever. 291 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 1: I mean l like Walter White breaking bad. Yes, you 292 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 1: make it in a lab well, then make it in 293 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: an RV sometimes, but you just make it, you cook 294 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: it up. 295 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right, you can make it an RV. You 296 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 4: can make it illegally, certainly, yes, and then pharmaceutically it's legal. 297 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: So glad you said that, Doctor, Christo because a further 298 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: analysis reveals that the fentanyl in Eric's blood was not legal. 299 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:16,120 Speaker 1: So apparently you can tell whether fentanyl is illegal, such 300 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 1: as prescribed by a doctor and you go get it 301 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 1: at the pharmacy or illegal, And I guess that goes 302 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: straight back to how it's made. 303 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 9: That's right. 304 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 4: We have more sophisticated methods now determining whether medications or 305 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 4: drugs are legal or illegal. And in this case, it 306 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 4: sounds like it was illegal. 307 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: So bottom line, he's not getting it from the Walgreens 308 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: or the CVS or the Dwayne Reid. He's getting it 309 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,879 Speaker 1: somewhere else.

According to my Crack 349 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: legal analyst Jackie, there are some street names crazy what 350 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: did you say, Crazy One? Crazy One, dance Fever, Dragon's breath. 351 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,199 Speaker 1: I've never heard any of that, so I don't know 352 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: how reliable that is. 353 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 3: Can I make a statement? 354 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: Yes? Jump in. 355 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 3: So when it first came out, it was called drop 356 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,360 Speaker 3: dead because a lot of the people who were injecting 357 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 3: fentanyl died so quickly they left the needle in their arms. 358 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 3: So the street name was originally dropped dead because when 359 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,360 Speaker 3: you took it, you dropped dead instantly. I think that's 360 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 3: kind of fallen out of favor because every every area 361 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 3: has for it. 362 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 1: Well, I guess that's a little bad for business for dopers. 363 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 3: Well that business, that's why it started. 364 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: Long only you Candle crowns only.

And I find it extremely 379 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: interesting and I want to go to Jeffrey Wolf on 380 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: this criminal defense attorney, high profile criminal criminal defense attorney 381 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: joining us out of Colorado.

Typically, 385 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: as we saw in the Alex Mardai case, for instance, 386 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: a person's history of bad acts cannot come in at 387 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: trial unless and until it has proven that those bad 388 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 1: acts are let's just say a fingerprint of the case 389 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 1: in chief to show motive, course of conduct, scheme, frame 390 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: of mind. Would you agree with that, Jeffrey Wolf. 391 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 10: Yeah, one hundred percent. The rule you're talking about is 392 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,959 Speaker 10: Rule four or four B, which is a federal rule 393 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 10: of evidence that is mirrored in almost all fifty states. 394 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 10: That's going to talk about whether somebody's prior bad acts 395 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 10: can come in as evidence in the case against them. Currently, 396 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,479 Speaker 10: it can't come in to show act and conformity therewith, 397 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 10: meaning just because they did something before they did it again, 398 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,439 Speaker 10: But it can come in for all these other reasons 399 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 10: that you're talking about, plan, motive, scheme, modus operandi, to 400 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 10: show who this person is, how they operate, and how 401 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 10: that ties them to this event. 402 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 6: Two. 403 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: Jen joining us from dailymail dot com, Jensmith, what can 404 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 1: you tell us about prior incidents, including one on Valentine's 405 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 1: Day just a month they month before Eric drops dead 406 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: in a sleep. Yeah, exactly, so. 407 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,159 Speaker 6: We know that the Valentine's Day incident that you mentioned. 408 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:47,360 Speaker 6: Then they ate a meal together and he became very 409 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 6: ill afterwards. As a result, he ended up telling friends, 410 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 6: I think my wife has poisoned me. Not only is 411 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 6: that disturbing, but more so is the fact that this 412 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 6: was the second time he thought she had tried to 413 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 6: poison him. Once previously during a vacation with the family, 414 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 6: he told his sister that he thought she had tried 415 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 6: to poison him. So one place what happens after that? 416 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: So the first time we believe this is according to him, 417 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 1: And I'm going to go back to Jeff wolf Of 418 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 1: just a moment about how you can or cannot use 419 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: the words of someone now dead in court because under 420 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 1: the sixth Amendment, everybody on trial has the right to 421 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: cross examine witnesses, evidence, documents, tests used against them, and 422 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 1: if the person's now dead, you cannot cross examine them. 423 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 1: It's hearsay. So how can you get this information into 424 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: evidence to show if you can, that there were prior 425 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 1: attempts on Eric's life. The first one, Jenn Smith, is 426 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: I believe about three years ago in Greece, family vacation, 427 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:59,479 Speaker 1: as you described, and they had dinner and drinks together 428 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: and he got very very ill, and that's when he 429 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: called a sister. Was that when he called a sister? 430 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,160 Speaker 6: Yeah, we think so, we know that we're not sure 431 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 6: exactly when this vacation was, only that it was several 432 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 6: years ago, maybe a few years ago. And he confided 433 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 6: in his sister. And this is a sister who he 434 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,679 Speaker 6: continued to confide in especially about his marital problems with Curry. 435 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 6: So that was the first instant. 436 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: So I believe it was about three years ago. That 437 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:33,159 Speaker 1: was in Greece. Fast forward, he didn't die. Fast forward 438 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: to this past March. Okay, March a year ago. Yeah, 439 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 1: that's when he died the month before on Valentine's Day. 440 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 1: What happened Jin? What happened Jen Smith? 441 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 6: We know that they sat down to have dinner together 442 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 6: in their home and for whatever reason, even though he 443 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 6: has this previous suspicion that his wife has tried to 444 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 6: poison him at least once before he sits her, he 445 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:04,880 Speaker 6: has a meal with her and again he becomes incredibly ill. 446 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 6: He doesn't die, and we don't really know even if 447 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 6: he went to the hospital. We're just going off of 448 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 6: what we've seen in the start for it, and it's 449 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 6: been released so far. He became very very ill after 450 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 6: that Valentine see. 451 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: And it was so bad he used an EpiPen and 452 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: vinagrill and still went unconscious. Guess what, he didn't die again, 453 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,880 Speaker 1: Doctor Angie Arnold, if I had two brushes with death 454 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: while David is hovering over me, I would leave. But 455 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 1: I've got a feeling this guy, Eric Richards, did not 456 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 1: want to believe his wife would try to kill him, 457 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,680 Speaker 1: even though he verbalized that I think she's trying to 458 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,959 Speaker 1: poison me. I think he didn't want to truly accept 459 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: it and leave the boys. 460 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 5: I completely agree with you. And if you thought that 461 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 5: someone was actually trying to kill you, and this is 462 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 5: the person that has been called love of your life, 463 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 5: then what could she possibly do to your children if 464 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 5: you're not there? So you can't abandon your children for 465 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 5: your own sake. No, people don't do that. So he 466 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 5: was just taking his chances. I guess, scared, probably in 467 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 5: some disbelief that she would actually want to kill him. Right, 468 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 5: So you might think it, but you're still going to 469 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,399 Speaker 5: be in disbelief that this woman who you're sleeping with 470 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,640 Speaker 5: and who you're going on trips with and you're going 471 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 5: to the kids' baseball games with, is actually trying to 472 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 5: kill you, and who you're practicing your Mormon religion with. 473 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 5: How we call that an incongruent thought? How incongruent could 474 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 5: that be to this man? Okay, maybe she's trying to 475 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 5: kill me, but really is she? 476 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 10: Is? 477 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:49,159 Speaker 12: She? 478 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 1: Yeah? I think he just really he may have said that, 479 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: but he couldn't truly take it in. You know another thing, 480 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 1: I love Bobby Chacone as I know you do too, 481 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 1: special agent with the FBI. I love cell phone data. 482 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 1: I love it so much. I want you to take 483 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,680 Speaker 1: a listen to our cut seventeen our friend Ariel Harrison. 484 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 2: Evidence gathered in the death investigation revealed Corey claims she 485 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 2: was away from her phone that night and it was 486 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 2: left on a charger by her bed. Teams, However, gathered 487 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 2: evidence the phone was in use during that time and 488 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 2: sent messages had been deleted. Additional evidence showed Corey was 489 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 2: in contact with a drug dealer in Ogden leading up 490 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,160 Speaker 2: to Eric's death. The legal document state she received both 491 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 2: hydrocodone pills and fentanyl from the dealer, claiming the drugs 492 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 2: were intended for a client experiencing back pain. At one point, 493 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 2: please say she requested for quote the Michael Jackson stuff, 494 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 2: asking specifically for fentanyl. Information from the autopsy report determined 495 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 2: Eric died from an overdose of fentanyl five times the 496 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 2: lethal dosage. 497 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: Well that's like drinking from the fire hydrant. That is 498 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 1: so much, way too fast. I can't drink it and 499 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: let's just start with Bobby Chacne the phone evidence, because 500 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 1: she says, I wasn't on the phone all night. I 501 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 1: plugged it in in our room, and then I went 502 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 1: down the hall to sleep with one of my boys 503 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 1: who was having nightmares. I go back at three am 504 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 1: ish and I find him culture the touch. Did I 505 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: immediately perform CPR, But the phone says and helped me out? 506 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 1: Jas Smith, I believe the phones showed that there have 507 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 1: been a lot of texting back and forth during the 508 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 1: time where she says the phone was plugged in, not 509 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: in use while she was in her son's room, and 510 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: all those texts were deleted. So what is she doing 511 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 1: texting back and forth while her husband is dying and 512 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:50,719 Speaker 1: then lying about it? I mean, Ja Smith, that are 513 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 1: those facts correct? 514 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 6: Those facts are absolutely correct. Now, she obviously thought that 515 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 6: she was outsmarting the authority when she told them that 516 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 6: she left her phone, and maybe she thought that it 517 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 6: was the location inside the heismand so but yeah, she 518 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 6: there is a record, there's a digital record. We know 519 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 6: that we've spoken about it many times. Then you can't 520 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 6: get rid of it, this digital foit print. 521 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 1: Yes, Bobby's Cohn just saw digital evidence basically convict Alex 522 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 1: Murdogg and the double murder of his wife and son, 523 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 1: Maggie and Maggie and Paul. So what about this, have 524 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 1: my phone plugged in the whole night, you know, until 525 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 1: I find him killed? Overdad? 526 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean when you have a case like this 527 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 9: with she's the only other person that could have, you know, 528 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 9: either rendered aid or caused harm. There's no fourth entry, 529 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 9: there's no blunt trauma. You immediately start to get her 530 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 9: story and for her her initial statement. The minute those 531 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 9: phone records come back and you realize she lied to you, 532 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 9: she has to become suspect number one because now, why 533 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 9: would a wife lie about using her phone in the 534 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 9: immediate aftermath of finding her husband dead, or during the 535 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 9: period where she found him dead, or shortly before that. 536 00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 9: So the minute you find out she lied to you 537 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 9: about the phone, you have to start taking a much 538 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 9: harder look at her, who her associates, look at her 539 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 9: phone records, harder who shod been calling? Who should be 540 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 9: going in contact with? So she made her by lying, 541 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 9: She made herself suspect number one. If she would have 542 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 9: simply come up with a different excuse on why she 543 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 9: was texting maybe she had the phone in bed with 544 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 9: her with the kid and she was. But the minute 545 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 9: she lied about that, she has to become suspect one 546 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 9: right then. 547 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 1: The gig is up.

And 571 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 1: he's so worried after this Valentine's Day incident where he 572 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: gets horribly ill, he cracks a joke, Hey, she might 573 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 1: kill me for the money, and he changes his will. 574 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 1: I mean, Jeffrey willf That is no joke. 575 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 10: No, it certainly is no joke. And what you saw 576 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 10: here in this case is you see her attempt to 577 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 10: take his business life insurance policy. I have one with 578 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,240 Speaker 10: my law partner. If something happens to one of us, 579 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 10: we want to make sure the business is secure. And 580 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 10: so she goes into that policy and attempts to change 581 00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 10: it so that she gets the money if he dies. 582 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:59,400 Speaker 10: And then he has this magic allergic reaction. My wife 583 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 10: has a severe allergy that could cause problems for her. 584 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 10: One of my employees, does you can bet your bottom dollar. 585 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 10: If I'm making them food or if I'm buying a 586 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,360 Speaker 10: meal for them, I'm making sure that those ingredients are 587 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 10: not present, because those are people I care about who 588 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 10: I have a knowledge would be in trouble. 589 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,280 Speaker 1: What is your wife allergic to you? By the way, She's. 590 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,480 Speaker 10: Allergic to raw tomatoes. It's a very unique allergy that 591 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 10: a lot of restaurants have trouble with. But you can 592 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:24,800 Speaker 10: bet your bottom dollar there's no raw tomatoes than anything 593 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,400 Speaker 10: I buy her or serve her, because I know what 594 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:31,439 Speaker 10: would happen, okay, And so the fact that she did 595 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 10: that is incredibly concerning. And she did it after attempting 596 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 10: to make that change. The company caught it, by the way, 597 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 10: and it was changed back. And then when he wakes 598 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,239 Speaker 10: up from that, he calls his business partner to tell 599 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 10: him his suspicions. Joking or not, that could be a 600 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 10: present sense impression, which is a reason to get hearsay 601 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 10: in at the trial. Since you were mentioning hearsay before. 602 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 10: Wasn't aware I had an evidence test today, but I'm 603 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:57,040 Speaker 10: going to pass it. 604 00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,959 Speaker 1: I was ready to pounce on you with a here's 605 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,319 Speaker 1: say loophole that go. 606 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,840 Speaker 10: Ahead, I'm ready for it.

Sense impression allows those statements of somebody 609 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 10: who is not available to be cross examined. 610 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:16,080 Speaker 9: To come in. 611 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 10: But it's going to require a recency to the event 612 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,800 Speaker 10: and something to say that they were still under the 613 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 10: impression of that event in order to be able to 614 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,759 Speaker 10: get that statement in. So how quickly he called him 615 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,800 Speaker 10: after he woke up needing to use an epipennant benadryl 616 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,000 Speaker 10: is going to matter a great deal. 617 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:38,040 Speaker 1: How would you compare presences impression to excited utterance exception? 618 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 10: So, excited utterance is something that happens right then you're 619 00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,400 Speaker 10: seeing something and you're saying exactly what you're seeing in 620 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 10: that moment. 621 00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:45,759 Speaker 1: It happens a lot. 622 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 10: On nine to one one. 623 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,440 Speaker 1: Calls right right when you wake up from an overdose 624 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,440 Speaker 1: of fentel that kind of excited utterance. 625 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:54,759 Speaker 10: It could be an excited utterance, but it has you 626 00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 10: have to be excited, right, So it's not just that 627 00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 10: you're saying something that's happening and relaying it as it's happening. 628 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 9: You have to be in an. 629 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 10: Excited state as well. That emotional state. If he called 630 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,399 Speaker 10: and he's making a joke about it, that could still 631 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,920 Speaker 10: be a present sense impression to say that this is 632 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:11,839 Speaker 10: something that I have recently seen. 633 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 1: You think there's any problem getting these statements in? 634 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 10: Honestly, I think that it's going to be a tough 635 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 10: road to hoe to get these statements of somebody who's 636 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 10: not able. 637 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 1: I totally disagree. That's why we have the exceptions to 638 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 1: the hearsay role for situations. 639 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 10: Just like this. It is exactly why we have the 640 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 10: hearsay exceptions. However, in a court and you're doing a 641 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,480 Speaker 10: criminal trial, the only person who has a right to 642 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,080 Speaker 10: a fair trial is the criminal defendant, and some judges 643 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:40,760 Speaker 10: will err on the side of caution. 644 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,680 Speaker 1: True, Okay, you know what, let me throw something else 645 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 1: at you.

If you want to be an artist, you 678 00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 1: can just paint between the lines and suddenly have this 679 00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,600 Speaker 1: beautiful picture. Jeff Wolf's yeah, I have seen it. 680 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:55,160 Speaker 10: And that's what we're looking at here, is that the 681 00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 10: pieces of this just keep coming into focus. And throw 682 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,359 Speaker 10: on top of the fact that these are similar transactions 683 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,120 Speaker 10: that could go to a modus operande or a pattern 684 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 10: of behavior. But throw into that that a lot of states, 685 00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 10: my state Colorado being one of them, have domestic violence 686 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:16,360 Speaker 10: allowances for similar transaction.

And you're going to 689 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,080 Speaker 10: start seeing all of this stuff like an avalanche coming 690 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,640 Speaker 10: in against the defense, and it is going to be very, 691 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,200 Speaker 10: very tough to beat it all back with, no matter 692 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:30,880 Speaker 10: how big your that. 693 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,400 Speaker 1: Is Bobby Jacon and Jenn Smith. I want you to 694 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,560 Speaker 1: hear our cut seven are friends at ABC. 695 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,640 Speaker 12: A Utah woman who wrote a children's book about coping 696 00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:40,799 Speaker 12: with grief after the death of her husband last year 697 00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,759 Speaker 12: has now been charged with his murder. Corey Richins was 698 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,280 Speaker 12: arrested yesterday accused of poisoning her husband Eric with fentanyl. 699 00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:48,880 Speaker 1: She also faced drug charges. 700 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,880 Speaker 12: Just last month, Richards appeared on local TV to promote 701 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,000 Speaker 12: her book about a boy who lost his dad. At 702 00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:57,160 Speaker 12: the time, she said her husband's unexpected death left her 703 00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 12: and their three boys reeling. 704 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:03,399 Speaker 1: Bobby kin own not only the costly she murdered him. 705 00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:07,279 Speaker 1: She then writes a book and tries to sell it 706 00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:08,920 Speaker 1: on TV and on Amazon. 707 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,399 Speaker 9: Really, yeah, I'm not sure that. I mean, I'm sure 708 00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,760 Speaker 9: the investigators are watching that. I'm not sure it's attacted 709 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 9: that much. I mean, they probably already had her in 710 00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:20,560 Speaker 9: their sight. You know, her journey to do this kind 711 00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 9: of brings the next level evil to her. But I'm 712 00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,720 Speaker 9: sure that, you know, once they saw the toxicology report, 713 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,239 Speaker 9: once they got those phone records back, which was all 714 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,239 Speaker 9: within six, eight, ten weeks of the event of the murder, 715 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:33,920 Speaker 9: they had her in their sites, and it was a 716 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,080 Speaker 9: matter of finding that drug dealer, getting a statement from them, 717 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,760 Speaker 9: and just tying everything together with the prosecutor and putting 718 00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,200 Speaker 9: it all together. That her writing the book, I mean, 719 00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:46,560 Speaker 9: I just I think that impacts her reputation in the 720 00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:50,400 Speaker 9: community more than this actual case because everything was put together. 721 00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,879 Speaker 1: Well, that's going to hurt her a whole lot more 722 00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 1: than murdering her husband. Doctor Angey Arnold, will you help 723 00:40:56,680 --> 00:41:00,600 Speaker 1: me out please, I mean, to murder your husband and 724 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:04,200 Speaker 1: then write a book about how much your children are 725 00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:08,000 Speaker 1: suffering what they're going through. We had one child that 726 00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:11,719 Speaker 1: I was already having nightmares, according to her. But doing 727 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:13,920 Speaker 1: that not just to your husband, but to your children 728 00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:15,719 Speaker 1: and then trying to profit off of it. 729 00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:18,680 Speaker 5: With a book, Nancy, I think it shows that she 730 00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:22,480 Speaker 5: has a complete lack of attachment to her husband. 731 00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,560 Speaker 1: I certainly you're not about to say lots. 732 00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:30,480 Speaker 5: Of people do not develop attachment. There's something called attachment theory. Okay, 733 00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:35,040 Speaker 5: So I believe that she lacks attachment to the people 734 00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,279 Speaker 5: in her life, and that is what It doesn't mean 735 00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,680 Speaker 5: you're insane, no, but she doesn't have any attachment. How 736 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,040 Speaker 5: do you kill your husband? So to me, that's the 737 00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:46,640 Speaker 5: worst thing that she's done, so anything after that okay. 738 00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:49,560 Speaker 1: For me, Doctor Angie Arnold. She can take her lack 739 00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:54,479 Speaker 1: of attachment capability and ride that broomstick straight to hell. 740 00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,680 Speaker 1: We wait as justice unfolds. Goodbye, friend,
