Day one of testimony began in the trial of 35 year old Kouri Richins, the mom of three accused of fatally poisoning her husband, Eric Richins nearly 4 years ago. The case made national headlines after Richins was arrested for murder within weeks of publishing and promoting her book on helping kids through the grief of losing a parent. Prosecutors claim Richins was millions of dollars in debt and in love with another man and killed her husband for a fresh start at life. The defense is pointing the finger right back at the victim, already painting a picture of someone who turned to drugs to deal with chronic pain.
