She tried to kill him once before and failed, and he not only stayed together but continued to let her get near his food and drink? My guy...

Some kinks are unhealthy

Sex must have been amazing

Maybe they were Mormons. Their views on marriage are kinda...unique.

"yeah it's risky but that I can beat that pussy up like Muhammad Ali and drive her wild even after I'm done with her sister so it's a fair trade"

Needed material for the sequel?

And of course it happened in Utah - the Florida of the West.

[–] EvilBit@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

Defendant’s first name checks out.

Reminds me of "'How to murder your husband' writer sentenced for murdering husband"

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-61786575

Real OJ Simpson "If I did it" vibes.

[–] MousePotatoDoesStuff@lemmy.world 16 points 2 hours ago

At least she didn't name it "How to murder your husband and get away with it".

[–] markz@suppo.fi 81 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Not that weird. Usually these types can't shut the fuck about it.

The internet search history from Richins's phone included "what is a lethal.dose.of.fetanayl" and "luxury prisons for the rich America"

Lmao

[–] justsomeguy@lemmy.world 39 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

As a defense attorney I would've immediately declared my client mentally disabled and listed the search history as proof.

[–] muffedtrims@lemmy.world 25 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

Good Lord. Pic of internet searches shown in court.

Big "Can u get pregante" vibes.

"how to tell the police that you totally did it and leave every trace imaginable, for ipohen"

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

That would almost be as bad as writing a six page letter detailing all of your attempted witness tampering and accidentally having it found in your jail cell.

Which is a thing she did.

It could only be worse if that letter included instructions to make threats against someone's children.

Oh. It did.

Look up the "Walk the dog" letter. It is one of the most unbelievably damning pieces of evidence you will ever see. The prosecution literally built their entire closing argument around it because it's so bad that they can just discard the rest of their case and still win on that alone.

You misspelled iphind

[–] marighost@piefed.social 31 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

She also searched for her own net worth, which is super embarrassing.

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 11 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

That's interesting. On the surface one might assume she's just dumb and doesn't understand how to assess her finances, but I wonder if there's more to it; maybe she already knew her net worth (or didn't particularly care), but wanted to know what other people say her net worth is.

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemmy.zip 9 points 56 minutes ago

Ngl, if I had "people googling my net worth" money, I'd check at least once lol

[–] Codpiece@feddit.uk 36 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Can’t write books without doing some research, I guess?

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 10 points 3 hours ago

Write what you know.
