In the Kouri Richins murder case, the defense isn't just arguing Kouri is innocent — they're arguing the man she's accused of killing may have contributed to his own death. It's a strategy that shows up in true crime cases more than most people realize, and it almost always carries serious risk.Eric Richins' best friend and business partner testified he never saw Eric use drugs in their entire relationship.

The Walk the Dog letter has been in headlines. But headlines don't explain it. This episode does.Tony Brueski at True Crime Today takes the full six-page jailhouse letter written by Kouri Richins and breaks it down the way it deserves to be broken down — not as a collection of shocking bullet points, but as a document.
