In this collab, we break down the biggest moments from the case, the chaos of the defense, the impact of the Walk the Dog letter, Carmen&#8217;s testimony, the financial evidence, the Richens family dynamics, and why this case feels so much bigger than just one headline.<\/p>\n<p>We also get into the cultural dynamics surrounding the trial, Kouri Richins\u2019 image in the community, the prosecution\u2019s challenge in tying all the evidence together, and why the defense may have hurt itself more than helped.
