HOUR SHOW. ARE YOU READY FOR IT? AN HOUR OF CONTENT. >> LET'S SEE WHAT IS GOING ON AND WHAT'S BUZZING IN THE BEEHIVE STATE, STARTING OFF WITH NATIONAL HEADLINES. TALKING ABOUT KOURI RICHINS. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE PAYING ATTENTION TO THIS. BEST KNOWN AS A WOMAN WHO WROTE A CHILDREN'S BOOK ABOUT GRIEF AFTER HER HUSBAND DIED AND THEN IT CAME OUT THAT SHE WAS A SUSPECT IN HIS DEATH AND IS ACCUSED OF POISONING HIM WITH FENTANYL.
CURRENTLY IN THE SUMMIT COUNTY JAIL AWAITING TRIAL, BUT THERE IS SOMEONE NEW THAT PROSECUTORS WANT INVOLVED IN ALL OF THIS. PAUL NELSON HAS BEEN LOOKING INTO THIS TODAY AND HE HAS DETAILS. >> Reporter: HI, THIS IS PAUL NELSON, KUTV, AND THIS IS THE NEWEST WAY THAT PROSECUTORS IN THE MURDER CASE AGAINST KOURI RICHINS ARE TRYING TO ESTABLISH WHAT HAPPENED. ACCORDING TO PROSECUTORS, THEY SAY SHE CONSULTED WITH A DIVORCE ATTORNEY TWO MONTHS BEFORE THE ALLEGED MURDER OF ERIC. THEY WANT A DIVORCE ATTORNEY TO COME FORWARD. THEY SUBPOENAED HER AND ASKED FOR COMMUNICATIONS, SAYING IT COULD ESTABLISH MINDSET AND POSSIBLY MOTIVE. THE ATTORNE OBJECTED, SO NOW THEY WANT THE JUDGE TO COMPEL THE ATTORNEY TO COME FORWARD WITH WHAT SHE KNOWS. SOME LEGAL ANALYSTS WE SPOKE WITH SAY THIS WILL BE VERY HARD FOR PROSECUTORS TO GET WHAT THEY WANT. FIRST PROSECUTORS HAVE TO PROVE THAT THIS IS IN ANY WAY CONNECTED TO THE MURDER INVESTIGATION AND EVEN IF IT IS, THEY SAY IS IT WORTH BREAKING ATTORNEY CLIENT PRIVILEGE? ANALYSTS ALSO SAY IT WILL TAKE MULTIPLE HEARINGS TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS.
>> WE HAVE BEEN WATCHING THIS CASE SINCE SHE WAS CHARGED AND WE WILL BE SURE TO HAVE UPDATES FOR YOU .
