Echard described Owens's look in court as resembling a scared child, mixing fear and apparent remorse.

Echard said he believes the state is right that Owens targeted him to leverage his fame, given investigators' access to her communications.
“They're right. They've uncovered her motives because they have access to more than I've ever even seen”
