According to the prosecution, there was more than money to Corey's motive.

She had been cheating on Eric and was planning a fresh start with another man.

There was some question behind the scenes at the courthouse if they were even going to find him for him to testify.

And then her former boyfriend, Josh Grossman, entered the packed courtroom.

With Corey seated just feet away, the clerk began swearing him in.

And the judge immediately stops everything, whisks the jury out of the courtroom, and sits Mr. Grossman down and tries to spell out for him what he is signing up for.

And Josh agrees to do that, finally, so the jury's brought back in.

Josh's discomfort was palpable.

He testified that he started working for Corey's house flipping business in the Park City area in 2020.

He told the jury he'd stay in the houses they were working on.

The prosecutor pointed out that a few months before Eric died, Corey had even booked a trip with Josh to the island of St.

Martin.

Josh's discomfort only grew as the state showed the jury dozens of text messages between him and Corey.

Corey was texting with Josh and drove an hour to visit him on Valentine's Day 2022, the day prosecutors alleged she tried to poison Eric with that sandwich.

The following day, Josh texted Corey that he was in love with her.

She responded, like, actually in love with me?

If I was divorced right now and ask you to marry me tomorrow, you would?

Josh replied, yes, in love with Y-O-U.

Of course I would.

He then puts his head down on the witness stand like he doesn't want to be there.
