Justice for Liz Barraza
SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — Prosecutors say Kouri Richins’ was writing instructions to her family on how to testify in court. Richins’ lawyers say she’s writing a “fictional book.” Either way, the prosecutors say they now want the whole manuscript — all 65 pages’ worth.
Richins, a Summit County woman behind bars for the alleged murder of her husband, Eric, through fentanyl poisoning, is currently in jail awaiting trial. Last month, jail officials found a paper that appeared to prosecutors to be telling her family members how they should testify in court.
This week, prosecutors asked the court to compel Richins and her attorneys to turn over the rest of the so-called “Walk the Dog” document, which may contain another 60 to 65 pages. However, new court documents this week include a transcript of a phone call Richins made in jail to a family member explaining the controversy.

In that transcript, Richins complains of unfair treatment both in how deputies obtained the Walk the Dog letter, and also in penalties for having it in her cell in the first place. She claims in the call she has had her phone calls limited to “voice only and only handwritten letters out, 90 days.”
She also said she was on 30 days of “lockdown 23 hours a day, no commissary.”
“Well, and they keep saying it’s a letter,” stated Richins. “It was never a letter. Like, it was part of a freakin’ book. Like, it was never a letter.”
