I was friends with both Cory and Amanda years back, they got me too.

I was very close friends with Cory, he and I were gym buddies at the old Gold's Gym in Mountain View off Shoreline (when he worked for Statcomm). They went to my soon to be born daughter's baby shower in 2010, we went to their house in Los Gatos for parties. Hindsight is always 20/20, I wondered how/why she would always workout like a beast if she was sick; she never did seem sick but what did I know. Regardless, one of our mutual friends (another gym buddy) and I have been watching this case very close, even attended a few zoom court hearings. It's kind of crazy how big this turned into, especially when you personally knew the person and were a victim.
