KAMAS, Utah (ABC4) — Kouri Richins, the Kamas mother accused of using fentanyl to poison and kill her husband, appeared in court one last time before her preliminary hearing on Wednesday, May 15.

The hearing on Monday was fairly routine. Lawyers addressed exhibits they intend to admit for this week’s preliminary hearing and corrected a few errors in those exhibits.

State attorney Brad Bloodworth told Judge Richard Mrazik the prosecution intends to call on two witnesses on Wednesday while Richins’ defense attorney Skye Lazaro said she plans to call on one additional witness.

Finally, Judge Mrazik heard from the Gordon Law Group regarding a subpoena requesting records relating to a consultation with Kouri Richins about possibly filing for divorce from her late husband, Eric Richins.

TIMELINE: Kouri Richins complete timeline in murder case

Mrazik ordered the Gordon Law Group to provide the state with a basic log of the documents in connection to the subpoena by Monday, May 20, though Gordon Law Group indicated they strongly objected to releasing the documents.

Richins will be back in court at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, May 15 for a preliminary hearing. During that hearing, Judge Mrazik is expected to decide whether or not the state has enough evidence to go forward with a trial.

Richins faces several felony charges including first-degree aggravated murder of her husband as well as first-degree felony criminal homicide. She also faces second-degree felony drug charges and several felony charges related to fraud and forgery.
