It is Thursday, March 5th, and what a day in the Corey Richens murder trial, the so-called grief author murder trial. The boyfriend of the woman on trial was on the stand yesterday, and it was more emotional than maybe folks had anticipated.
With that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ Ropes. He's the most anticipated witness, right? Even if he might not be the most important. Yes, I think the most important witness was at the end of last week when we heard from the housekeeper of Corey Richens, who claims that she secured the fentanyl for Corey, who then, according to prosecutors, gave it to her husband first in a sandwich. That was a failed attempt. And then eventually in a Moscow mule, which ended up with him having five times the lethal limit of fentanyl in his system. So, yes, she was important. But now we're hearing the why. This is going towards the motive. Prosecutors say she wanted money and she wanted her man. And her man was Joshua, Robert Joshua Grossman.
Yeah, this is very important as far as establishing motive. Yeah, and I didn't know. I was expecting, I suppose, more questions. And it seemed like they wanted to get a lot of stuff in evidence and have him confirm a bunch of their communications. But this was essentially Robert Joshua Grossman sitting up there, Robes, looking through a lot of their text messages. But it gave us insight into their relationship, where her head was and where his head was. Yeah, it was really fascinating to watch. So they put up all of their text messages in the month and then the weeks leading up to Eric Richen's death. And we're all reading them on the screen along with the jurors. And then they'll throw a shot of the ex-boyfriend.
And he had his head up. on the table. He was not looking. He was covering his eyes. And when he would lift his head up, he'd be wiping tears. It was four years ago to the day that Eric Richens died. And to see that emotional impact of just seeing those texts and where he was, I mean, this was a man who seemed to be deeply in love with Corey Richens and hoping to spend the rest of his life with her.
