| 0:05.1 | We're going to jump into the first witnesses of the Corey Richens trial. And first up was Eugene |
| 0:10.4 | Richens, who was Eric's dad. They show a photo of Eric and he identifies him as a son and says |
| 0:16.5 | that Eric was 39 when he died. He also identifies Corey in the courtroom. They raised their kids that |
| 0:23.3 | family was number one. They were always together and they really promoted education, |
