Corey's attorney finished off her opening statement with an interesting image.

Tell us about that.

Yes.

So she shared on the screen an optical illusion that went viral a while back.

Some of our listeners have probably seen this.

It's a drawing that from one angle looks like a young woman.

And if you look at it differently from another angle, it looks like an older woman.

So look at this picture of a young woman in a fur coat.

See it?

Now look again.

You see a witch?

So fascinating.

Once, Karen, the opening statements were done, the prosecution started right away to call their first witnesses, and among those first witnesses, Eric's family.

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.
