Convicted murderer Crystal Cortes implicates Brenda Delgado in plot to murder Kendra Hatcher. Cortes is telling jury they discussed it daily, followed her and considered options of injecting her with a lethal dose of heroin or using a gun.

Cortes says she is guilty of murdering Doctor Kendra Hatchere, but so is Brenda Delgado #BrendaDelgadoTrial


Maria Guerrero‏Verified account @Maria_NBC5 30m30 minutes ago
Crystal Cortes says she, Brenda Delgado devised plans on how to kill Kendra Hatcher. Inject her w/heroin, sedative or shooting her. "everyone came to the conclusion that shooting her would be the fastest way to do it:"


Maria Guerrero‏Verified account @Maria_NBC5 4m4 minutes ago
Crystal Cortes says Brenda Delgado paid her $500 to be getaway driver and Delgado paid $600 worth of marijuana, $300 worth of cocaine and money to Kristopher Love for pulling trigger.

Officials initially charged Cortes with capital murder, but she struck a deal with investigators and pleaded guilty to a lesser murder charge and 35-year-sentence, if she agreed to testify at Kristopher Love’s and Brenda Delgado’s trials.

They are getting ready to resume with Cortes still on the witness stand. Out of jury's presence, Defense attorney Milner wants to play about 10-minutes of videos of Cortes. He says it will show her lying and blaming Delgado. #BrendaDelgadoTrial

UPDATE: all of the afternoon so far - defense cross-exam of Crystal Cortes.
She's a key witness for both sides, frankly.
Attorney George Milner says his defense theory is - anytime Cortes is backed into a corner because of a lie - she blames Brenda Delgado. @wfaa 1/2


David Goins‏Verified account @dgoins 35m35 minutes ago
So - Milner has spent approx 2hrs pointing out the myriad of lies Cortes told detectives from Sep 2015 to Sep 2018 about her role in Hatcher's murder.
Cortes says after her mother passed in Nov '17 - she decided to "come clean" and tell prosecutors everything. @wfaa 2/3


David Goins‏Verified account @dgoins 35m35 minutes ago
Milner pushing every lie Cortes told in the past as reason jurors should not believe her now. 3/3

The question everyone has: WHY why would Crystal Cortes help murder dentist Kendra Hatcher? Cortes said she felt loyalty to Brenda Delgado< wanted her friendship. And she got $500.

Accused getaway driver takes the stand in Dallas murder-for-hire trial

June 4, 2019

"DALLAS - Jurors heard more dramatic testimony Tuesday in a murder-for-hire case in Dallas....

The woman who said she was paid to be the getaway driver took the stand to testify against Delgado. Crystal Cortes pleaded guilty to a lesser murder charge in exchange for her testimony and 35 years in prison.

Cortes said Delgado wanted to “get rid” of Hatcher and asked her to find someone to help. She told jurors she and Delgado discussed different ways to kill Hatcher including injecting her with heroin. But after connecting with Love, they decided to shoot her.

Cortes testified they did a practice run of the murder leading up to it. Immediately after shooting Hatcher, Cortes said Love took her purse and camera because she said Delgado “wanted it to look like a robbery gone bad.”..."
