Yeah, so they started with Eric's dad, followed by his sister, Katie Richens Benson, who got pretty emotional talking about her brother.
Eric was one of the most likable people.
Eric's sister told the jury that Eric was not a drug user, as the defense had implied.
They were raised to be aware of the dangers of drugs.
The prosecution also showed jurors some body cam footage from a police officer who responded to Corey's 911 call.
And what's interesting, Karen, is that you see Corey in her pajamas.
She's very emotional.
But then you also see Katie arrive with her husband.
This body cam video was so interesting because Katie mentioned in her direct examination, she told the prosecutor that Corey didn't really console her when she was so upset.
But in this clip, you could see Corey did embrace Katie at one point.
So it felt like a contrast to what we had just heard Katie say.
Who else do we expect the prosecution to call to the stand?
We know that Corey's mom is on the witness list as a prosecution witness.
There'll be more first responders and investigators.
And the trial's going to be quite long.
Yeah, it's expected to last five weeks.
Okay, and we know you've got it covered, Karen.
Thank you for getting there early and waiting in line in the cold and bringing us all the updates from the trial.
Thank you.
Thank you.
