Скачать или смотреть Contractors Were at the Alleged Drop House the Day Lauber Says She Buried the Fentanyl

The prosecution needed this house to be a controlled location. The woman who owned it just told the jury who else had the key.

Molly Crosswhite bought a Midway, Utah home from Kouri Richins in January 2022. She never spoke to Kouri directly and had no idea what the house would later become in this murder trial. Prosecutors called her to establish that the property sat vacant between closing and the time renters moved in at the end of March, creating the window they needed for the alleged fentanyl drops Carmen Lauber described. Lauber testified she walked through an unlocked back door on February 11, picked up cash from a closet, drove to buy pills from Robert Crozier, and returned to bury them in the backyard fire pit.

Watch what defense attorney Wendy Lewis does with the contractor records. She asks Crosswhite about specific February dates, one by one. Pay attention to which dates Crosswhite confirms and what that means for the prosecution's theory that this house was a secure, controlled exchange point.

⏰ KEY MOMENTS

00:00 - Crosswhite takes the stand. She bought the house. She had no idea what she'd be testifying about.
02:00 - Prosecution establishes the house was empty with the same locks from January 26 through end of March.

07:16 - Lewis starts asking about specific February dates. This is what she came here to establish.
08:41 - Crosswhite admits the key was hidden near the front door. Her words: probably not a great place to hide a key.
09:23 - No contact with Kouri after closing. She was dealing entirely through agents.

📖 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.
