Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/WVLFKTa9TYE  In a brief restitution hearing for Kouri Richins, the prosecution's request for life insurance restitution totaling over $1.4 million was granted unopposed, with the defense's request for a stay denied. Following this, the state's response to the defense’s motion for a new trial, which primarily accused the judge of bias. The state's response—supported by an appendix outlining trial sidebars and positive juror interviews—argued that the judge acted with complete fairness, patience, and restraint, while characterizing the defense's claims as legally inaccurate and persistent in misinterpreting the rules of evidence.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/E9560lA271A  This Case Brief highlights a legal charging conference where the judge and attorneys debate and establish over 50 jury instructions. The proceedings focus on crucial, fact-based instructions including the voluntariness of the defendant's statement, corpus delicti and its relation to confession corroboration, and the law of self-defense. While the defense successfully fights for a voluntariness instruction, the corpus delicti debate culminates in a modified instruction clarifying that a defendant's confession—if believed—does not require further corroboration as long as independent evidence proves the victim's death was caused by a criminal act. Ultimately, the judge plans to pre-read these instructions to the jury before closing arguments begin on Monday. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
