Utah作者Kouri Richins在她丈夫2022年的芬太尼(Fentanyl)毒死中面临谋杀指控, Utah author Kouri Richins faces murder charges in her husband’s 2022 fentanyl-poisoning death, with defense seeking venue change due to widespread jury bias.

Kouri Richins是犹他儿童书的作者,在她丈夫Eric Richins于2022年去世时面临谋杀指控,据称她丈夫Eric Richins被芬太尼的饮料毒害。 Kouri Richins, a Utah children’s book author, faces murder charges in the 2022 death of her husband, Eric Richins, allegedly poisoned with fentanyl-laced drinks. 她的辩护方在最后时刻提交了一项动议，要求更改审判地点，理由是萨米特县超过85%的潜在陪审员认同此案，约60%密切关注此案，这使得无法组建公正的陪审团。 Her defense has filed a last-minute motion seeking a change of venue, arguing that over 85% of potential jurors in Summit County recognize the case and about 60% have followed it closely, making it impossible to seat an impartial jury. 在开除了有偏见或熟悉的陪审员之后,只剩下大约72人,远远少于重罪审判所需的43人。 After removing biased or familiar jurors, only about 72 remain—far fewer than the 43 needed for a felony trial. 辩方还指称检察官恐吓了一位关键证人。 The defense also alleges prosecutors intimidated a key witness. 2月10日开始挑选陪审员,2月23日由理查德·姆拉齐克法官审理,他尚未对动议作出裁决。 Jury selection begins February 10, with trial set for February 23 before Judge Richard Mrazik, who has not yet ruled on the motion.
