For anybody to say they think a marriage is going strong and awesome, when the husband secretly signed a will not to his wife because he didn’t trust her….. Literally everybody involved in this is in denial

[headerahelix]

The fact he transferred his estate to his sister says it all.

[kenberry]

I'm so sick of parents making excuses for their kids. This mother is living in a world of denial.

[minnesotagirl]

I am always baffled when someone tells their family...if something happens to me, look into my spouse and than everyone just carries on???

[ninaballerina]

This Mother is a piece of work.
Hardcore.

[Justintime]

You don’t “secretly “ create a will when things are “perfect”. Her family is in denial.

[Sharon-ycif]

Ive been married 43yrs, and never, ever felt the need to tell someone, if i die, look at my husband. Its just not normal for anyone to say!

[Jerkturkey]

Literally no one ever in human history has ever looked for THC gummies “on the street”

[marygoff]

Her forging signatures on life insurance policies, if it turns out to be true, is all I need to know...

[rezarectmusic]

Saying his usage of thc gummies was a possible gateway to a fentanyl overdose is ridiculous.

[ItsCookiepuss]

All of these sociopaths have one thing in common: an out of touch enabling parent who thinks their little boy/girl could never have committed a crime like this!

[admirallily]

Anyone who says “they could never do this” hasn’t watched enough true crime to see that all kinds of people are capable of all kinds of things if they make enough bad choices.

[candicane]

She went from being a cashier to purchasing mansions to being a killer within a few short years.

[kade-boehme]

The wildest thing about watching this is that I had JUST read that her mom, who’s all about blaming the dead husband’s “drug use”, is now suspected of possibly helping her daughter do this and detectives mention her own partner having died of an oxy overdose in 2006 under suspicious circumstances. You’d think they’d know better than doing all this publicity, but it feels like that’s the goal. Attention is a helluva drug for narcissists.

[Lizzie-vekt]

Her mom is so inconsistent. First she says Eric wanted her to be a stay at home mom, then she says he was super supportive of her real estate flipping business. Which is it? Is he supportive of her having a career or is he not? And her having SIX life insurance policies is just wild! Hearing that alone convinced me of her guilt because there’s no way to justify having that many policies out on your spouse.

[d.diggler]

I was hesitant on her guilt, but when I heard SIX different policies, that’s all I needed.

[toonced]

Not mentioned was the huge party that Kouri hosted the day after her husband's death. Also not mentioned: After serving up the Moscow Mule to her husband, she spent the night in her son's room, claiming to be asleep. Her phone activity shows her to be awake while her husband was in the other room, dying.

[Lommy]

Why did she take so many life insurances on him? That by itself is bonkers.

[godd]

The moment the brother and mother dodged the question about the letter, that's when we know that they know she's guilty

[susantulleynehus]

They are trashing this man’s reputation to try to protect their murderous daughter/sister. Shame on them.
