@simplyfriends I was not familiar with the name or trial, but just read a few articles including the most recent one in The Salt Lake Tribune. I gather you have been keeping up, so what do you think?

Thanks for mentioning, as I followed the Murdaugh Murders in South Carolina and various other cases over the years. Fascinated by true crime cases. Cheers.

I'm pretty new to this forum so not sure if it's allowed either. But oh my gosh yes, I've been following.  Big day for sure.

@nwbabs I’ve watched some of the trial. I think it might be a mistrial. There’s lots of evidence that was presented but some of the witnesses are iffy. The drug dealer had to be called back several times. She was impeached the first time for lying and then she changed her story after she was told by the lead detective ”we need something concrete from you so that we can convict Kouri of murder” Drug dealer came up with a new story and was given a free pass out of jail ticket. Several other witnesses that were paid big bucks to find incriminating evidence (private investigator hired by deceased’s family). I think she’s guilty but it may be a mistrial. I’ll let the jury decide.

I've watched the trial.  I have mixed feelings about the sufficiency of evidence that she gave the victim fentanyl.  That the victim could have taken contaminated thc gummies is possible and I don't trust the drug dealer's testimony.  Watching her initial interview concerned me a lot.  I was definitely surprised that the defense didn't put on a case.

Thanks for the additional info @simplyfriends 

The situation reeks of nefarious doings. The outcome will be interesting.

@Mz iMac. Sorry you had to scratch your head. I wasn’t sure if it had already been discussed and poofed due to being argumentative. I’m not here everyday like some of you.

@simplyfriends  Gotcha.  Thought you meant the subject matter was taboo or something.

I have been watching some of it. The lawyers on both sides are not great. The judge is fantastic! I would vote guilty. The state proved their case IMO.
