Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/jSYcKO7I1vo Day 11 of the Kouri Richins trial was dominated by intense legal arguments as the prosecution neared the end of its case-in-chief. A "wild, disjointed, circular argument" broke out over how to introduce prior statements from witness Carmen Lauber. The prosecution sought to use 100 pages of her interview transcripts to rehabilitate her testimony after defense cross-examination. In a surprising turn, the defense requested a two-day continuance to review over 1,000 pages of transcripts for completeness. The judge denied the two-day request but granted a one-day break, ordering the defense to file specific designations by 6 PM tonight. The jury is expected back at 1 PM on Wed, Mar 11, 2026, for Day 12, where Detective Jeff O'Driscoll is anticipated to take the stand.
