Sheriff and ex-sheriff charged with obstructing justice in Kouri Richins case
Judge Mrazik ordered Kouri Richins to pay more than $55 million in damages to the estate and family members of her late husband in a wrongful death claim.
Both indictments were filed last month and unsealed Wednesday with significant redactions.
The damages order included $41,340,387 in punitive damages, determined by multiplying the economic and non-economic damages by three.
