What did the online spellcaster testify in the Larry Millete murder trial?

According to Andrea Canning on Dateline, prosecutors called an online spellcaster who testified that Larry Millete bought spells from him. The requests began with keeping Maya from leaving him and making her fall in love with him again, then grew more intense, including one asking for Maya to suffer an accident and a broken bone. Prosecutors used this to argue Millete would go to any length to control his wife, who was planning to divorce him.

• Prosecutors also said Millete had shown interest in hemlock, a poisonous plant, but without a body they could not say how Maya died.
• The defense case rested entirely on reasonable doubt.
