SUMMIT COUNTY, Utah — A Utah woman who is charged with murdering her husband in 2022 is claiming that she can not be given a fair trial, claiming"prosecutorial misconduct."
In the motion filed Wednesday, Richins' legal team mainly focused on the "Walk the Dog" letter — a six-page handwritten letter that prosecutors labeled in publicly available court documents as"witness tampering." The Summit County Attorney's Office claimed that the letter , included instructions from Richins to her mother, asking her to have Richins' brother give false testimony.
Richins' latest motion claims that it was improper for the prosecution to call the letter witness tampering when they have not charged her with such an offense. It claims this would sway potential jurors,"such that a fair trial in this case is no longer possible."
