PARK CITY, Utah (AP) — A Utah judge on Wednesday postponed a hearing to determine if prosecutors have enough evidence to proceed to trial in the case of a woman charged with fatally poisoning her husband before she published a children’s book about coping with grief. Judge Richard Mrazik delayed the hearing until June 18-20 after prosecutors said they would need three days to present their evidence against Kouri Richins, whose lawyer says she is innocent. Richins, 33, is charged with aggravated murder and other counts in her husband’s March 2022 fentanyl overdose death at their home in the mountain town of Park City. Prosecutors allege that she slipped five times’ the lethal dose of the synthetic opioid into a cocktail that her 39-year-old husband, Eric Richins, drank. She previously tried to kill him with a spiked sandwich on Valentine’s Day, prosecutors allege.
