Opening statements got underway on Thursday. Prosecutors argued Redlick was unhappy with her marriage and wanted out. They say she checked her dating app and Googled "how to slit wrists" in the 11 hours before she called 911.
According to the police report, Redlick waited 11 hours before calling 911 saying Michael had a fatal heart attack. Then, she claimed he stabbed himself after they had a fight. An autopsy report appeared to contradict those claims.
