Utah mother charged for killing husband with cocktail explains ‘exotic vacations’ after death
Utah mother charged for killing husband with cocktail explains ‘exotic vacations’ after death
A Utah mother of three on trial for allegedly murdering her husband in 2022 with a poisoned cocktail said she had normal explanations for taking so-called “exotic vacations” after the death, according to court documents. A month before she was arrested, Kouri Richins emailed officials in Summit County to explain a series of trips to Salt Lake City, Spain and Mexico, according to the documents obtained by the New York Post. “You asked about any exotic vacations I have taken since Eric’s passing. I went on two trips last year. One, my kids tried out at a soccer camp in SLC [Salt Lake City] to qualify to play in Spain in June and both my kids made it. So yes, I took them to Spain in October 2022. I have attached their invitation letters,” read one message. “I took my kids and my mom came with us in August of 2022 to Mexico. As I hope you understand, the months prior to this since Eric’s death have been hard to deal with,” she said elsewhere. “Eric and I went to Mexico every year, sometimes twice. We traveled A LOT. We have taken the boys to Mexico a few times,” she continued. Ms Richins was arrested on 8 May and charged with first-degree murder and possession of a controlled substance, with prosecutors alleging she killed her husband by spiking a Moscow mule cocktail with a lethal dose of fentanyl. The Utah woman wrote a children’s book about dealing with grief and went on local television to promote its release weeks before she got arrested. “It was right up until the end that she was carrying on as though nothing had happened, and that she was a victim, and she was a martyr and promoting her book,” lawyer and Richins family spokesman Greg Skordas told The Independent. Her defence has argued in court that she is not guilty and there is “no substantial evidence to support the charges,” Fox 13 reported. Ms Richins was denied bond by a Utah court as her trial progresses. Eric Richins was remembered as a dedicated father, local businessman and coach of youth sports. “He spent countless hours coaching and teaching the boys to ‘play aggressive’ and ‘give it their all!’” according to an obituary. “Eric truly cared about every single child he coached and wanted the absolute best for all of them.” Both members of the marriage have suggested, directly or through their representatives, that the other was having an affair. In the months before Richins’s death, the couple appeared to be manoeuvring for control of the family finances, with Eric changing his will and life insurance policies, while Kouri allegedly attempted to alter Eric’s life insurance partner and benefits related to his stone masonry business.

Who is AI pop star Anna Indiana?
Who is AI pop star Anna Indiana?
AI “singer-songwriter” Anna Indiana launched her first song and it has not gone down very well at all. Artificial intelligence is a huge area for growth in technology, but its abilities are causing concern among those in the creative industries. Musicians such as Drake and The Weeknd have had their distinctive voices essentially copied by the technology in order to create a brand-new AI-generated song that they had no hand in making. Now a new artist going by the name of Anna Indiana has launched and she, and her music, is made entirely from AI. Who is Anna Indiana? Anna Indiana is an artificially generated music artist who recently launched on X/Twitter. Her initials, AI, signify her artificial intelligence origin as everything from her look to the music itself with made with AI technology. In a post on X/Twitter, the artist shared a three-and-a-half-minute-long video appearing to show her, depicted as a young white woman, recording the song in a music studio. The caption explained: “Hello world! I’m Anna Indiana and I’m an AI singer-songwriter. Here’s my first song, 'Betrayed by this Town'. “Everything from the key, tempo, chord progression, melody notes, rhythm, lyrics, and my image and singing, is auto-generated using AI. I hope you like it.” The song, Betrayed by this Town, is a pop ballad sung by a female-sounding voice, with lyrics referencing how they were sitting in a cafe drinking tea and thinking about a male partner who betrayed them. It’s fair to say people weren’t too impressed with the song or the general idea of using AI in place of real human creativity. One person commented: “Nice demonstration of what music would sound like if all creativity and passion was removed. I’m sure my microwave will love listening to this.” Real-life musician James Blake mocked the video, writing: “This brought me to tears. I’m so excited for the future.” “I used to think AI was a threat, not anymore,” someone else explained. Another claimed: “No one on Earth wants this technology. Use AI to make drudgery easier, not to ruin activities we enjoy.” “This is trash,” one X/Twitter user simply wrote. It’s unclear who is behind the AI creation, but there were a few positive comments for them to cling on to. Someone argued: “Good Lord such nearsighted comments. It was only a year ago the ChatGPT debuted. It has come this far. Yes it is crude. Come back in a year.” How to join the indy100's free WhatsApp channel Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.
