Overview

• Defense filings say Robert Crozier, the alleged source in the state’s supply chain theory, now swears he sold OxyContin to the housekeeper rather than fentanyl.
• Attorneys for Kouri Richins moved to reconsider bail and to compel disclosure, calling Crozier’s affidavit exculpatory and arguing the state cannot place fentanyl in her hands.
• The motions assert prosecutors interviewed Crozier in April and failed to inform the defense that he denied any fentanyl sale, raising potential Brady concerns.
• Prosecutors previously alleged Richins obtained fentanyl through her housekeeper, whose account, the defense notes, was not supported by recovered or tested pills.
• The Summit County Attorney’s Office declined comment and plans a response within 14 days, while Richins remains jailed with trial set for February 2026.
