Behind the polished surface of a Utah family life, a jury has determined that Kouri Richins ended her husband's life — and with that verdict, sentenced herself to spend the rest of her own behind prison walls. The case, which drew wide public attention, turned on the quiet but decisive work of twelve ordinary citizens weighing evidence and testimony in search of truth. It is a reminder that the law does not judge appearances, only acts, and that the consequences of those acts can be as permanent as the harm they cause.
