Kouri Richins' children had therapists read their words in court because they couldn't face her. They described locked doors, animals left to die, a brother sneaking food to a sibling shut away in his bedroom. Every one of them asked the judge for one thing: keep her away forever. They said they finally feel safe. Then Kouri stood up and spoke for forty minutes. She didn't acknowledge a single word her children wrote. Not the locked rooms. Not the dead animals. Not the fear. She told them she was coming home. She told them to stop trusting the family that finally made them feel safe. She told the judge the jury decided her family's future in less than three hours. And she floated a claim in open court that her husband "was in a lot of physical pain" — planting a seed about his manner of passing even after the jury already decided. Jennifer Coffindaffer and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke have seen this pattern before — the complete absence of acknowledgment when confronted with harm caused. They break down what Kouri's speech reveals about what's actually driving her, whether her attack on the jury and announcement of an appeal gives her anything legally, and the calculated way she admitted to being a flawed wife while drawing an absolute line at the conviction. Then Buster Murdaugh. Sources say he's not relieved about his father's retrial — he's reportedly furious. He allegedly called Alex a "selfish old man." Coffindaffer and Dreeke examine what Buster's silence and anger signal, whether the prosecution can flip him, and why his survival may undercut the State's family annihilation theory before opening statements even begin. Two cases. Two families. The people left behind are still fighting to be heard.
