Children's book author accused of poisoning husband says 'fair trial' now impossible
Fox News
Kouri Richins, the Utah mom of three and children's book author accused of poisoning her husband to death, wants her charges dismissed due to prosecutorial misconduct.
"[T]he State has violated Ms. Richins’ due process rights by falsely and publicly declaring that she is guilty of ‘witness tampering,'" Richins' attorney Skye Lazaro said in a 52-page motion filed Wednesday. "Making matters worse, the State attempted to support its false narrative by filing inadmissible evidence, including a police report, on the Court’s public docket. The State’s misconduct has resulted in widespread publicity such that a fair trial is no longer possible. Accordingly, dismissal is warranted."

The motion references a letter that police said they had found folded in a book in Richins' jail cell that asks her brother to give false testimony.
