Judy Church, 67, is on trial for first-degree murder in the death of Leroy Fowler in 2022. Prosecutors allege that Church, who had a 10-year relationship with Fowler, made plans to poison him with antifreeze as retribution for his ongoing affair. Church allegedly told Fowler's sister that she would poison him if he ever cheats on her. She has pleaded not guilty to the charges and her lawyers argue that prosecutors are based on off-color jokes taken out of context and journal entries written about their "bizarre love triangle". Prosecutors claim that Church filmed Fowler as he writhed on the floor in distress, and jurors also viewed video of Fowler's reaction to the poison.
