Three therapists stood at the podium and read statements written by Kouri Richins' own sons. The boys are too young to speak for themselves in a courtroom. One described waking up to sirens and feeling helpless. Another described walking his younger brother to the bus stop and feeding him because nobody else would. The youngest described being locked in his room so often his sibling had to bring him meals — and watching his animals die because no one gave them food or water. While those words were read aloud, cameras caught Kouri scoffing and rolling her eyes. Then her own family took the podium. Called her innocent. Called her devoted. And the tears appeared instantly — reserved entirely for her own suffering. Tony Brueski breaks down the five-hour sentencing hearing where Judge Richard Mrazik sentenced Kouri Richins to life without the possibility of parole on what would have been Eric Richins' forty-fourth birthday. Kouri spoke for forty minutes. She told her sons to "be like your dad" — the man she was convicted of taking from them. She told them their memories of what happened in that house were "an absolute lie." She told them to distrust the people keeping them safe. She never acknowledged a single thing her children described. One of her sons is nine years old. His message to the court was simple: "Once she is gone, I will feel happy." After sentencing, Kouri sent a message to an admirer that ended with a winking emoji and a promise: "They haven't seen anything yet." A Hidden Killers investigation.
