Episode Description from the Publisher

Kouri Richins has been sentenced — and we're breaking down every detail with Annie Elise. But first, Cooper and Jonathan share the wild ride that got Kouri here. Convicted of aggravated murder for poisoning her husband Eric with five times a lethal dose of fentanyl, Kouri faced either 25 years to life or life without parole. The prosecution asked for the maximum — and Eric's own sons said they're afraid of what she'd do if released. Annie Elise (Serialously, 10 to Life) joins us to break down the verdict, the victim impact statements, the sentencing decision, and what comes next — including the expected appeals process.
