Kouri Richins, the Utah widow accused of killing her husband with a fentanyl overdose and then writing a children's book about grief, is accused of witness tampering, according to court documents obtained by CNN.
Richins faces murder and drug charges for allegedly poisoning Eric Richins with an overdose of fentanyl given to him in a drink the night he died. She has not yet entered a plea in the case and remains in custody, CNN previously reported.
Richins "concocts a false narrative for Ronald Darden to repeat whereby, 'Eric told Ronney that he got Pain Pills and fentanyl from Mexico from the workers at the ranch,'" according to the motion."A person is guilty of the third degree felony of tampering with a witness if, believing that an official proceeding or investigation is pending … he attempts to induce or otherwise cause another person to: testify or inform falsely," the motion reads, citing Utah law.
Richins' defence filed a separate motion arguing that the state's public filing of the alleged handwritten letter was improper and violated the gag order in the case. The defence wrote that the state "wholly misconstrues the contents of the letter and alleges witness tampering without a legitimate or good faith basis."
