根据埃德蒙兹的动议,其起诉书中的措辞“点名了里钦斯案,并将匿名信与萨米特县一名副警长的涉嫌不当行为联系起来”。文件指出,起诉书指控埃德蒙兹作出虚假陈述,其意图是“阻碍对信件作者的识别”。
According to Edmunds' motion, the language in his indictment "names the Richins prosecution and connects the anonymous letter to alleged misconduct by a Summit County sheriff's deputy."

$55 million in damages A Summit County jury found Kouri Richins guilty of fatally poisoning her husband, Eric Richins, with fentanyl in March. Judge Richard Mrazik, who presided over the murder trial, sentenced her to life without parole.
这位36岁的三个孩子的母亲在丈夫2022年去世后,自费出版了一本关于哀悼的童书,目前正在寻求新的刑事审判。她的请求正由犹他州上诉法院审议。
The 36-year-old mother of three, who self-published a children's book on grieving following her husband's death in 2022, is currently seeking a new criminal trial. Her request is under consideration by the Utah Court of Appeals.
本周,姆拉齐克法官下令,她需在一项非正常死亡索赔中,向其已故丈夫的遗产及家属支付超过5500万美元的赔偿金。
This week, Judge Mrazik ordered that she pay more than $55 million in damages to the estate and family members of her late husband in a wrongful death claim.
在其命令中,姆拉齐克指出,科里·里钦斯并未对寻求判决动议中的任何事实陈述提出异议,该动议旨在裁定她“非法导致”了其丈夫的死亡。
In his order, Mrazik noted that Kouri Richins did not dispute any of the factual statements in the motion for judgment, which sought an order concluding that she "wrongfully caused" her husband's death.
法官在命令中表示,基于有罪判决和“无争议的记录证据”,他认定科里·里钦斯通过下毒导致其丈夫死亡。
The judge stated in his order that he concluded from the guilty verdict and the "undisputed record evidence" that Kouri Richins caused her husband's death by poisoning him.
该判决裁定赔偿10,780,129美元的经济损失和300万美元的非经济损失——其中每位Richins子女可获得100万美元——“旨在补偿非正常死亡受害者所遭受的社会关系、爱、陪伴、保护、指导和亲情的丧失。”
The order includes $10,780,129 in economic damages and $3 million in non-economic damages -- $1 million for each Richins child -- that "seek to compensate wrongful death victims for loss of society, love, companionship, protection, guidance, and affection."
“Eric与他的三个未成年子女有着深厚而情感化的联系,而他们是遗产的唯一继承人,”判决中写道。“他的死亡给他们造成了严重的心理创伤,并将对每个孩子产生永久影响。此外,Kouri杀害Eric导致其本人入狱,也使这些未成年子女失去了与父亲或母亲共同生活的机会。”该判决还裁定赔偿41,340,387美元的惩罚性赔偿,该金额是将经济损失和非经济损失合计乘以三倍得出的。
"Eric shared deep, emotional connections with his three minor children, who are the Estate’s only heirs," the order stated. "His death has caused them severe trauma, and it will have permanent effects on each. In addition, by killing Eric, which resulted in her imprisonment, Kouri deprived the minor children of being with their father or their mother." The order also included $41,340,387 in punitive damages, which were determined by multiplying the economic and non-economic damages by three.
