Utah murder suspect Kouri Richins denied bail due to 'substantial danger' posed.

Utah author Kouri Richins, accused of fatally poisoning her husband with fentanyl, was denied bail after a judge ruled that she poses a "substantial danger" to herself, family members, and the community. Prosecutors argued that she is an "extreme danger" to others and that she viewed killing her husband as a way to get out of debt. Richins was charged with one count of aggravated murder and three counts of possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute. She published a children's book about grieving a year after her husband's death, which was pulled from Amazon's website after she was charged.
