Utah mom Kouri Richins — who killed her husband and then wrote a children’s book for their sons about processing grief — was sentenced to life in prison without parole after she made a deluded, saccharine speech to the judge about how she had been persecuted.

Judge Richard Mrazik threw the book at the 35-year-old mother after it was revealed her three young sons said they were terrified of her and wouldn’t feel safe unless she remained imprisoned for life.

Before the sentence, Richins gave a 30-minute address that was aimed mainly at her boys — who are now being care for by the sister of Eric Richins, the man she was convicted of killing.
