Hung: In The Balance

Maryn and Christie are back, and this time they're diving into what might be their most complex case yet. After fair warning that this one is going to be a beast, the mother-daughter duo introduces a new case that you may think you already know — but probably not the way you're about to hear it.
Christie takes her seat in the jury box armed with only what the courtroom was allowed to see: the evidence, the testimony, and the arguments from both sides. In this episode, she breaks down five days of trial content, starting from the very beginning — the opening statements.
Both sides come out swinging, and Christie's first impressions are... well, she's keeping her mind open. Mostly.

Trigger Warning: Though not explicit, this episode contains detailed discussion of a violent death, including graphic descriptions of blood spatter and physical trauma, as well as themes of suspected domestic violence and spousal homicide. Financial abuse and manipulation are also discussed. Listener discretion is advised.

It's finally here — the last chapter of the Kouri Richins saga. Maryn and Christie dig into everything that happened after the trial ended: courtroom emotion, evidence that never made it in front of the jury, dramatic victim impact statements, and where the case goes from here. Plus, a special listener-submitted correction segment with new details even the hosts didn't know. Whether you've been with us since episode one or you're catching up, this finale ties it all together.**Though not explicit, this episode discusses murder, drug overdose, fentanyl poisoning, and death in clinical detail.

"Detective O'Driscoll takes the stand for his final testimony, unraveling text messages, jail calls, and a suspicious letter written from behind bars. Then it's time for closing arguments — passionate, theatrical, and full of dueling narratives about grief, motive, and money. Christie and Maryn debate who made the stronger case as this trial nears its end."

Christie and Maryn are back with episode five of the Kouri Richins trial coverage — A parade of witnesses takes the stand: a divorce attorney bound by privilege, a poisoned breakfast sandwich, friends who heard chilling comments made in confidence, a business partner with insider financial details, and a colorful private investigator with a cane and quite the résumé. Along the way, a mysterious letter, a shady deed, and a self-written life history add fuel to the fire.
As always, the hosts break down the testimony, call out the defense's questionable tactics, and get ready to render their own verdict before the real one is revealed.

Part 4 of the Kouri Richins trial is here, and the money trail gets messy. A forensic accountant walks the jury through a financial spiral of overdrafts, payday loans, and forged bank statements — all while the deals kept getting bigger. Then an estate attorney reveals what Eric was quietly planning before he died, and a divorce lawyer's testimony raises even more questions. But the real gut-punch comes from Kouri's boyfriend, whose text messages paint an entirely different picture of the weeks before and after Eric's death. Buckle up — this one has a lot to unpack.
**Minor profanity and mature themes. No explicit sexual content or graphic violence descriptions.**

The cellphones don't lie — even when the people do. This week on Hung, Maryn and Christie dig into days 5-7 of the Kouri Richens trial, where drug deals, secret devices, and a whole lot of deleted texts start painting a picture nobody can ignore.
Plus, Maryn's unforgettable ride-along with a stranger on the FrontRunner.

In Part 2 of the Kouri Richins case, Christie walks us through the crime scene investigation — 11 search warrants, a 3D scan of the house, and a suspicious pill bottle that mysteriously never made it to the lab. Then things get really interesting. Meet Carmen: the housekeeper who bought drugs for Kouri on multiple occasions, with a colorful past, an immunity deal, and a bombshell detail about a very specific drug request.
How credible is Carmen’s testimony? And what does Kouri’s courtroom reaction say about whether she’s hearing the truth — or a lie?

She called 911 at 3 AM. Her husband was dead. She was already making plans.
Kouri Richins had a boyfriend, $4.5 million in debt, and a dream of running an event center — with someone who wasn't Eric. Then her husband turned up dead of a fentanyl overdose five times the lethal dose.
Christie breaks down the trial. Maryn brings the receipts. Was Kouri a witch, or just a widow?

Russ Faria is out of prison — and that's a problem for someone who'd rather the case stay closed. In this finale, Christie learns what happened next, and it's somehow worse than everything that came before. Someone crossed a line that can't be uncrossed, the walls finally started closing in, and a few people in the justice system got exactly what they deserved. There's also a surprising silver lining buried in all the wreckage.

In this episode, Maryn walks Christie through everything that happened after Russ Faria's guilty verdict in 2013 — and Christie's reaction says it all. A second trial, a surprise DVD of 132 missing photos, a life insurance policy no jury was ever allowed to hear about, and a series of increasingly suspicious stories from someone who was never even charged. If you thought the first trial was frustrating, buckle up.
