Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/MUtfoLz1bWw  Day 4 of the Kouri Richins murder trial brought unexpected turns and explosive testimony, starting with an unexplained end to the previous day's session. The Toxicologist Testimony delves into the forensic findings, including the high concentration of fentanyl and norfentanyl, the presence of illicit Acetal Fentanyl, and the debate surrounding low levels of Quetiapine (Seroquel) and ethanol. The testimony covers the lethal dose of fentanyl and how the levels compare in this case. Carmen Lauber, who procured drugs for Kouri Richins, testified about multiple purchases, including fentanyl pills. The testimony details how Kouri allegedly asked for "Michael Jackson drugs" and the communication surrounding the acquisition.

An empty 2016 hydrocodone bottle was found at the scene and sent with the body. Why was it never taken for testing? Could that pill bottle have held fentanyl residue, and why won't we know the answer? Why did a witness mention "jail calls" and what did the defense do to immediately preserve "every single evidentiary objection" under the Rules of Evidence?

Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/pcKCBvbOlhE  In Day 2 of testimony in the Kouri Richins Trial, the jury heard from key witnesses, including the Medical Examiner, who laid out crucial forensic evidence regarding the death of Eric Richins. The Medical Examiner testified that Eric Richards' cause of death was drug intoxication by fentanyl (fentanyl poisoning/overdose). His system contained a toxic level of fentanyl and norfentanyl, despite no history of abuse. Due to the ongoing investigation at the time she concluded her report (prior to her retirement), the Medical Examiner ruled the manner of death as undetermined. The ME's testimony concluded, setting the stage for a toxicologist to take the stand to elaborate on the concentration of drugs and the critical difference between stomach contents and blood levels—which will be vital for establishing a timeline of ingestion and death. Tomorrow, we expect the cross-examination of the CSI witness.

This lost phone is said to contain potentially damaging, biased, and "appalling conversations" with other law enforcement officers, including explicit, non-consensual images of women. The Commonwealth has the data, but Proctor is objecting to its release. An attorney-client privileged email from Karen Read was accidentally sent to the opposing counsel via a "reply all." We cover the arguments on both sides: Read's team is moving to have the email destroyed, claiming inadvertent disclosure, while the O'Keefe's counsel argues the privilege was waived and they are entitled to use it for impeachment. The court has taken this motion under advisement. RESOURCES Wrongful Death Lawsuit - https://youtu.be/NimCmMVTbfE  Protective Order - https://youtu.be/Gi3OiGX-PBs Learn more about your ad choices.

There have been major turns in the investigation with video and photos recovered and released to the public on February 11, 2026. Since then, law enforcement has detained and questioned numerous individuals and recently seized and searched another vehicle. The searches have taken place under search warrants, and late on Sunday, news broke that a DNA profile was taken from a glove found 2 miles from Nancy Guthrie's home. It’s reported that the glove matches the type of glove seen in previously shared photos and video.  This is an active and developing investigation.  Team Canada is in the middle of an Olympic-sized scandal shaking the sport of curling. They aren’t going to be able to sweep off the accusations quickly as the video that appears to show the double-touch cheating is getting memed across the internet. Plus, Team Canada is now alleging that Sweden is improperly recording other teams… this likely isn’t done.  RESOURCES Sheriff Nanos February 13th interviews https://youtu.be/dGEqzmLe0kE  https://youtu.be/vX35DEvRsks  https://youtu.be/CsrHlQxJxT4  https://youtu.be/x9C3ccj6BK8  Curling Controversy – Team Canada Called out by Sweden  https://youtu.be/Zih8FL9DLAI  Curling Controversy – Canada Penalized for double touch  https://youtu.be/IvXuaLKsVw0   The Emily Show February 9, 2026 - https://youtu.be/00ZoV-7GpDM  Karen Read 2025 Trial - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gL3CbMJHvrKiAD1aDNcblnO  Bryan Kohberger Case - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKASBczV3CsUx-t5oRAK0ca Learn more about your ad choices.

Magalhães took a plea deal, reducing her charge from intentional homicide to manslaughter in exchange for her cooperation with the Commonwealth (including testifying truthfully at Banfield's trial). The prosecution recommended a sentence of time served but the judge ultimately decides the sentencing.
