Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/A7xAL2w3AU0 [https://youtu.be/A7xAL2w3AU0]  Kouri Richins' defense team has filed a motion for a new trial, citing judicial bias, the excessive admission of "prior bad acts" evidence related to financial crimes, and cumulative error. The defense alleges that the court repeatedly disparaged their counsel in front of the jury while assisting the prosecution. In response to these claims, Judge M has certified the matter to an associate presiding judge to determine if disqualification is warranted, effectively pausing the case until a decision is reached. However, the motion may be procedurally insufficient for disqualification as it lacks the required supporting affidavit. Learn more about your ad choices.

Key Witness in Kouri Richins Murder Trial Facing New Felony Charges | Case Brief

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/SxbuW9TqEBY [https://youtu.be/SxbuW9TqEBY]  Robert Wilson Crozier, 47, a witness who previously testified in the Kouri Richins murder trial, has been arrested following a sting operation by the Utah Internet Crimes Against Children task force. Crozier was apprehended after traveling via public transport to meet what he believed was a 15-year-old girl, but was actually an undercover investigator. He faces multiple felony charges, including enticing a minor and distributing material harmful to a minor, after allegedly sending explicit images and offering to bring methamphetamine and marijuana to the meeting. While being held without bail, Crozier reportedly admitted to the interactions but claimed he did not fully remember them due to being high on methamphetamine, a defense the speaker notes is consistent with his previous legal history.
