Oh so it's not Erika Kirk... This time

She tried to kill him once before and failed, and he not only stayed together but continued to let her get near his food and drink? My guy...

Some kinks are unhealthy

Maybe they were Mormons. Their views on marriage are kinda...unique.

"yeah it's risky but that I can beat that pussy up like Muhammad Ali and drive her wild even after I'm done with her sister so it's a fair trade"

And of course it happened in Utah - the Florida of the West.

Defendant’s first name checks out.

Reminds me of "'How to murder your husband' writer sentenced for murdering husband"

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-61786575

At least she didn't name it "How to murder your husband and get away with it".

Real OJ Simpson "If I did it" vibes.

Not that weird. Usually these types can't shut the fuck about it.

The internet search history from Richins's phone included "what is a lethal.dose.of.fetanayl" and "luxury prisons for the rich America"

Lmao

As a defense attorney I would've immediately declared my client mentally disabled and listed the search history as proof.

[–] muffedtrims@lemmy.world 14 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Good Lord. Pic of internet searches shown in court.

"how to tell the police that you totally did it and leave every trace imaginable, for ipohen"

[–] tomi000@lemmy.world 8 points 53 minutes ago

You misspelled iphind

That would almost be as bad as writing a six page letter detailing all of your attempted witness tampering and accidentally having it found in your jail cell.

Which is a thing she did.

It could only be worse if that letter included instructions to make threats against someone's children.

Oh. It did.

Look up the "Walk the dog" letter. It is one of the most unbelievably damning pieces of evidence you will ever see. The prosecution literally built their entire closing argument around it because it's so bad that they can just discard the rest of their case and still win on that alone.

She also searched for her own net worth, which is super embarrassing.

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 6 points 1 hour ago

That's interesting. On the surface one might assume she's just dumb and doesn't understand how to assess her finances, but I wonder if there's more to it; maybe she already knew her net worth (or didn't particularly care), but wanted to know what other people say her net worth is.

Can’t write books without doing some research, I guess?

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 6 points 2 hours ago

Write what you know.
