โšก๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ NEW - Utah woman who wrote a book about grief after her husband died has been found guilty of murdering him.

According to prosecutors, Kouri Richins put 5x the lethal dose of the synthetic opioid into a cocktail that her husband Eric Richins drank.

Prosecutors also say Richins said she was $4.5 million in debt and thought that if she killed him, she would inherit his estate worth $4 million.

She was also seeing another man.

Richins attempted killing her husband on another occasion where she gave him a fentanyl-laced sandwich that made him black out.

Before she was arrested in 2023, Richins published the book โ€œAre You with Me?โ€ and promoted it on local TV and radio stations. Prosecutors say this was an attempt to cover up the murder.

Richins is scheduled to be sentenced on May 13.
