2020 had a chance to speak with Allie Staking, who was Corey's best friend for a long time, who was in her corner and just couldn't believe what she heard in court, and certainly this verdict.

I mean, she was devastated.

Let's take a look.

You know, you can't forget that those in the circle of these people are really affected by these types of cases, Brian.

It's painful.

It is painful to watch her endure this.

And I can only imagine what others are feeling too.

And you're confronted by the truth.

Yeah.

Well, as we talked about earlier, an autopsy toxicology report did reveal that Eric died from fentanyl poisoning.

And it's sort of interesting to think about because I don't really know that much about fentanyl.

We've all heard about it in the overdoses and so forth.

But I've got a pencil here.

And if you take a look at this pencil and you think about just the tip of this pencil, the size here is considered a lethal amount.

And he was given five times that amount, five times.

So we want to learn a little bit more about that, what it means to the system and how it affects you.

So when we come back, we're going to talk to a toxicologist to explain what this all means.

So don't go anywhere.
