Carmen, the housekeeper, tricky witness because she has this past with drugs.

She's in trouble herself.

And she's been given a bit of a lifeline here, you know, to help the prosecution.

I saw a woman who was making genuine efforts to get on the right path and improve her life.

And frankly, her testimony combined with the digital evidence of her travels really corroborated her testimony.

They felt for Corey's former boyfriend, Josh, too.

As for the defense, do you think that was a mistake to not put on a formal defense and, you know, just try the case through cross-examination?

Juror Eric thinks, though, the defense could have made more of the fact that no one knows for sure how Eric Richens ingested that fentanyl.

In the plus column for the defense, a closing argument that tugged on this juror's heartstrings.

After only three hours.

The court was informed that the jury has reached a verdict.

We all quietly file into the courtroom, and the judge makes it very clear that there is to be no outward reaction.

I'm looking at Corey, and I said to the lady next to me, I said, she's shaking, and she goes, she's trembling.

And I looked down at her feet, and they were shaking.

And you just see Corey just...

Her head goes down.

You could just read her face.

Right.

She did a pretty good job throughout the whole trial, having that poker face on.

But at that moment, she looked down and her world came crashing down inside her head.
