Amy Robach

A grief author story.

Kills her husband on trial for killing her husband.

But Rhodes, they did not mince words yesterday.

They are going after the victim and they're going after his family.

So this is going to be, Robes, they said this is a trial that's going to take a month.

It feels like it could take longer.

Yesterday was a lot of starting and stopping and objections and sidebars and confusion, quite frankly, in this trial.

Maybe they just need to get some of this out of the way early.

But it felt like a clunky trial.

Not quite.

It's day one, but they haven't found their stride.

The judge and the two attorneys just figuring each other out.

But it was a lot of jerky movement yesterday and not real flow to the first day of testimony.

Figure that out later, I suppose.

But yes, folks, this is going to be a trial that a lot of folks are going to keep an eye on because it's a case folks have kept their eye on.

This happened in 2022.

The death of Eric Richens died, at least according to the medical examiner, with fentanyl poisoning.

According to prosecutors, his wife, Corey Richens, is the one who slipped this fentanyl into his drink, killing him.

She's also on trial robes for attempting to kill him, what, a month prior by poisoning a sandwich that he had eaten.

All this was about financial gain.
