Prosecutors are sharing details about a number of actions that they say were orchestrated by Kouri Richins after she was arrested and charged with murder in the death of her husband.

“While detained pretrial, [Kouri] caused her family members to file unfounded bar complaints against the Summit County Attorney and Chief Prosecutor and post a ‘gay dating profile’ of the lead detective online,” prosecutors wrote in a sentencing memo filed in Summit County Court ahead of Kouri’s May 13 hearing and obtained by PEOPLE.

Kouri also made an “unfounded complaint to the FBI” about her husband Eric Richins’ business partner, according to prosecutors.

The majority of these newly revealed attacks involved the family members of Eric Richins.

Kouri hired counsel to advocate for the “criminal prosecution” of her sister-in-law Katie and later filed “false reports with the [Department of Children and Family Services]” while her three sons were in the custody of Katie and her husband Clint, prosecutors write in the memo.

Prosecutors also write in the memo that Kouri “caused her family members to pursue federal firearms charges against [Eric’s father] Gene for removing [his son’s] firearms from [his home] for safekeeping” and reported Eric’s sister Amy Richins to police for “marijuana possession.”

These incidents were used to support a recommendation that Kouri be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, with prosecutors arguing in their memo that Kouri’s actions both before and after her husband’s death show her to have an “irredeemable character.”

In the end, the judge overseeing the proceedings agreed with prosecutors.

Judge Richard Mrazik openly debated whether or not to sentence Kouri to 25 years to life or life without parole in court on May 13 after hearing over five hours of arguments and impact statements, which concluded with Kouri herself addressing the courtroom.

Mrazik ultimately decided to sentence Kouri to life without parole for the sake of her three sons, who had asked that their mother receive the harshest sentence.

He also told Kouri that she was “too dangerous to ever be free.”

Kouri also received a sentence of five years to life for attempted murder, one to 15 years for each count of insurance fraud and up to five years for felony forgery, with those four sentences to run consecutively.

Mrazik said at the end of the hearing that it is his wish that everyone involved in the case would eventually “find their way to a state of peace.”

Prosecutors argued at trial that Kouri murdered her husband for his money, believing she would come to inherit his multimillion-dollar estate along with approximately $2 million in life insurance.

Kouri had collected $1.39 million in insurance payouts following Eric’s death, but prosecutors are now asking the court to order her to pay restitution.

Eric died on March 4, 2022, from what an autopsy later determined to be an overdose of fentanyl.

It was not until 14 months after his death that officials arrested Kouri and charged her with murder.

In the probable cause affidavit filed at the time, prosecutors accused the mother of three of spiking her husband’s drink with a lethal dose of the drug less than three weeks after botching her initial attempt to kill him on Valentine’s Day.

Kouri’s defense team has already announced that they plan to file an appeal.
