Prosecutors Call Clerk Who Received Eric Richins' Body at Medical Examiner's Office"

Описание: Someone had to open that body bag. Someone had to break the seal, photograph what was inside, and log every item found with Eric Richins' body.

Maggie Mobley was working as a morg clerk at the Utah Office of the Medical Examiner on March 4, 2022, the morning Eric Richins arrived. She walks the jury through every step of what happens when a body comes through those doors. The seal from the scene, the photos before anything is touched, the clothing, the medications, the identification. All of it inventoried. All of it secured. This is the chain of custody the state needs before the medical examiner takes the stand.

But the defense isn't letting this witness leave without getting something on the record. Watch what they do with the medications found inside that body bag. Defense Exhibit D-306 gets admitted into evidence, and it's a report on prescriptions found with Eric's body. That's not an accident. The defense is building something.

Before testimony begins, there's a scheduling dispute worth watching. The defense says the prosecution broke an agreement about expert witness notification. That fight tells you how contested the medical examiner testimony is going to be.

📖 CASE BACKGROUND

On March 4, 2022, Kouri Richins called 911 from her Francis, Utah home at 3 a.m. Her husband Eric was unresponsive. Toxicology revealed five times the lethal dose of fentanyl. Eric had no history of drug use.

Prosecutors allege Kouri had been taking money from Eric for years. They say she owed lenders more than $1.8 million and had opened nearly $2 million in life insurance on Eric without him knowing.

Eric discovered the financial issues in 2020. He changed his will, created a trust naming his sister as trustee, and removed Kouri as beneficiary.

One year after Eric's death, Kouri published a children's book about a father watching over his son from heaven. Four weeks later, she was arrested. The defense maintains her innocence.

⚖️ ABOUT JUSTICE IS A PROCESS

This channel continues the work of Steven M. Askin, a criminal defense attorney who was disbarred in 1998 for refusing to violate attorney-client privilege, then criminally convicted in 2010 for teaching people their constitutional rights from a coffee shop in Martinsburg, West Virginia. He passed away in February 2024, but not before he and I started this channel together.

I am Steven M. Askin II. I am not an attorney. I am a watchdog. I cover criminal trials to educate the public about due process, the presumption of innocence, and constitutional protections. Every video on this channel is part of building the machine the system feared my father would create: a public trained to watch, question, and demand accountability.

This is not entertainment. This is education. This is oversight. This is Justice Is A Process.
