Grief Author Murder Trial: Kouri Ritchins’ Ex-Lover Takes the Stand

from Real-Time Crime · host iHeartPodcasts

It was an emotional day in court as the former lover of 35-year-old Kouri Ritchins wiped away tears, with his head on the table, unable to look at text messages between him and Kouri in the weeks leading up to Eric Richins’ death. Robert Joshua Grossman testified he had plans with Kouri the day Eric died, but she never showed up and eventually texted him “Eric has passed away.”  Ritchins is accused of fatally poisoning her husband with fentanyl in order to get out of debt and spend her life with Grossman. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
