Kouri Richin had a Hearing on April 7th, 2025 to address Change of Venue Motion right before the trial began. There have been attempts to expand the jury pool, which were denied but the site judge. The Defense and the Prosecution tried to make comparisons of this case to Karen Read and Bryan Kohbeger cases but the judge shut down those types of connections.
A Motion to Stay the Trial has been granted due to an Interlocutory Appeal on the Venue issue, causing significant delays. We don't know when the trial will begin, it can take months or years but the judge made it clear the Richins will stay in custody while the wait happens.
Judge Mrazik has expressed displeasure with the media coverage, calling it incomplete and speculative. He feels the coverage is an indictment on media outlets and culture.
