Did the prosecution offer a theory about how Corey got her hands...

On the fentanyl.

Yes.

So the prosecution told the jury that Corey got the fentanyl from her housekeeper, who had bought the fentanyl from a drug dealer.

That housekeeper is expected to be a key prosecution witness.

The prosecution talked about the possible motive for these alleged crimes, which, of course, money is at the center.

Eric Richens was well off.

His estate was worth over $4 million when he died.

According to the prosecution, Corey, on the other hand, was in financial trouble.

She was allegedly over $4.5 million in debt.

What the prosecution is arguing is that not only did Corey believe she was set to inherit Eric's business, but also other assets and various life insurance payouts.

And she believed that she would benefit from nearly $2 million in insurance on Eric's life.

And the fresh start part of the alleged motive, does that tie back to this man she's having the affair with?

It does.

So the prosecution told the jury about Corey's paramour, a man named Robert Josh Grossman.

The prosecution says Internet history and text messages will show they were having a full-blown affair and that Corey wanted to be with Josh, not Eric.

Karen, then it was the defense's turn.

What did they hit on in their opening statement?

The defense argues there's simply not enough evidence to prove that Corey gave Eric fentanyl and caused his death.

The defense attorney said the drugs Corey got from the housekeeper were oxycodone, not fentanyl, and so the fentanyl that killed Eric couldn't be connected to Corey.
