Opening statements in the Rachel Kozloff trial began this morning.
The Erie County District Attorneys Office says that Kozloff was a vengeful girlfriend.
Assistant District Attorney Brian Krowski addressed the jury saying, on the night Kozloff shot her 31 year old boyfriend Michael Henry, he was trying to break up with her.
