The prosecution’s narrative in the Kouri Richins murder case is suddenly on shaky ground.
A bombshell affidavit just dropped: Robert Crozier—once billed as the key to the state’s fentanyl chain theory—now says he never sold fentanyl to the housekeeper prosecutors claim passed it to Kouri. That breaks the chain. And when you consider that no fentanyl was ever recovered, and no forensic link directly ties Kouri to the drugs… the state’s case starts to look a whole lot less certain.
But is it fatal?
Joining us is former prosecutor and seasoned defense attorney Eric Faddis to break it all down. We dive deep into the implications of this recantation, how it affects the admissibility of testimony from Lauber (the housekeeper), and whether the state can pivot its sourcing theory midstream without torpedoing its credibility. We also look at the 5x lethal dose tox report, the Valentine’s Day sandwich allegation, the “Walk the Dog” jailhouse letter, suppression motions over seized notebooks and phones, and 11 terabytes of dumped discovery that may constitute its own Brady violation.
This is no longer just about who gave who a pill. It’s about whether the legal system is equipped to handle contradictions, missing evidence, and high public scrutiny without crumbling under the weight of its own complexity.
Don’t miss this legal autopsy of a case that could still go either way.
