Yes.

Corey's former lawyer, Sky Lazaro.

The timing of these searches, I think, are probably the most critical and important part of the analysis of them.

These searches were done after she was served the search warrant for her home and for her electronics.

Those searches, to me, were less of an issue than some other things in this case.

How does the defense combat a lover?

You know, Josh's mere existence in this.

Sometimes the best way to combat things that are bad for your client or optically bad for your client is just to hit him head on from the beginning.

There was no running away from Josh.

The prosecution hammered the point that Corey wanted a new life.

The defense argued it was an affair, nothing more.

To counter witnesses who said Eric was scared about how sick he got after eating that Valentine's Day sandwich, Corey's old friend, Allie Staking, testified Eric thought the whole thing was funny.

When it came to the accusation that Eric's death would bring Corey an infusion of cash, the defense pointed out Eric made a lot of money and would continue making plenty more.

I mean, if you accept that theory that she doesn't like him or she doesn't want to be married to him, you know, she's better off with him if it's purely financial motivated.

The money, the boyfriend, the sandwich, the Google searches were all problems for Corey.

But it was the cross-examination of Carmen, the housekeeper, that could make or break the defense's case.

Reasonable doubt is one of the things that you don't always get in cases.

But this case does have certain amounts of reasonable doubt.

And that is, you know, the stuff with Carmen.

There was Carmen's fuzzy memory when police first talked to her.
