This is Hidden Killers Live with Tony Brewski and Robin Drey.

Beyond the legal chess match, there's something else happening in the courtroom of Corey

Richens, 40 witnesses, text messages, jail calls, a boyfriend who broke down, crying on the stand.

A life story, Corey wrote about herself in the third person at a wellness

retreat. That's another piece of evidence that's going to be introduced and discussed very

soon as the defense takes the stand. The question isn't just what the evidence says. It's what the

jury is actually absorbing. Bob Mata is with myself and Robin Drake as we continue to break down the

case against Corey Richens. Let's talk about Corey and this letter that she wrote. She wrote

basically her life story at a wellness retreat back in 2021 in third person. She described a marriage that emotionally exhausted her, a mother with

a gambling addiction, a childhood that never really stabilized. I mean, it's heavy stuff. When I heard

about this, when I started to look at it, my reaction was, well, there's the recipe. That's how

you got Corey. That's how Corey is the way she is. A lot of

instability, a lot of chaos. You bring somebody up in that environment. Your odds of getting

somebody like Corey, if she did it, are pretty high. I mean, at least to have if she has,

again, we can't diagnose her, but if we look at this from personality disorders and things

of that nature,

all of that is a recipe for exactly this, for the type of behavior that the prosecution is

alleging that Corey was undertaking and behaving. And then defense asks the whole document for it

to come in, not just the redacted version.

Let's talk about that, Bob.

What does a jury actually do with that?

Is this going to make her look more human or does it frame everything that came after it?
