Kouri Richins spent a year on a press tour talking about grief, but a Utah jury just called it murder. This episode goes inside the trial to look at the 'calculated' nature of the crime. Friend of the show and DV trainer Jeanette Barich joins us to discuss the profile of the female primary aggressor, looking at how financial desperation, gaslighting, and digital manipulation served as the precursors to Eric Richins’ death. We analyze the March 2026 verdict and Jeanette shares her professional perspective on how we can better identify and support male victims in high-conflict, female-led domestic abuse situations.
