Update: Kouri Richins' (Patreon)

According to court records obtained by the DOCket on youtube, Kouri stated that the letters she wrote, telling her mother to persuade her brother to give false testimony was actually a portion of a book that she has been writing in prison. 

The following was taken from this article  

"When I first got in here I was telling you how I was writing a book... those papers were not a letter to you guys, they were part of my freaking book... I was writing this fictional mystery book... I go to Mexico and I'm like trying to find these drugs... I'm writing about Dad... like me and Dad went to Mexico to find these drugs... you can very much tell that the whole thing is very much a story... then I get in the Mexican prison... and I have Skye sneak me in some white strips because my teeth are getting yellow because all we do is drink coffee in the Mexican prison." 

Which... you know... makes a lot of sense. That's a very reasonable and obvious thing. I mean, sure, she said her husband's name, claimed he was a drug addict and fabricated an event for her brother to tell her lawyer about in order to make her look innocent, and sure she told her mother to sneak her in contraband using her lawyer. And also changed none of the names of the people in her real life. 

But we probably just don't get how her creative mind works. I am willing to bet that Kouri is going to down swinging in this case, and by that I mean she will likely try to take the stand in her own defense, and lie her way through the trial.
