Prosecutors Play Brenda Delgado's DPD Interview in Day 3 of Murder-for-Hire Trial (with clip)
Jun 5, 2019
"...Two analysts who work for the Dallas Police Department took the stand and testified about phone records of Delgado and two other people involved in the murder-for-hire plot -- Kristopher Love, the man who was convicted of shooting and killing Hatcher and Crystal Cortes, who admits to being the getaway car driver.
Prosecutors used the testimony to map out the number of times the three of them called and texted each other the day of the murder, as well as the days leading up to it.
Detectives mapped out the locations of their phones during that same time period, showing their movements between Love's apartment, Hatcher's office and apartment, and a restaurant in Carrollton where Delgado was when the murder occurred.
Wednesday, jurors heard testimony that Delgado did place a call to Cortes from that restaurant right around the time of the murder.
Another police officer testified his K9 made a "career find" sniffing out the gun police say was used in Hatcher's murder, it was found inside Love's ashtray...."

Jury Sees Video Of Brenda Delgado’s Interrogation; Convinced Officers She Had Alibi After Kendra Hatcher’s Murder (with clip)
June 5, 2019
"...The video offers a rare glimpse inside a police interrogation room where the defendant casually chats with detectives and insists she was studying and at a restaurant the night Hatcher was murdered.
Delgado was not arrested at that time after convincing detectives she had an alibi.
She was arrested months later in Mexico after police came to the conclusion Delgado hired two people to commit the murder.
Prosecutors also introduced security camera video which they say shows Kristopher Love walking up to Kendra Hatcher’s car and shooting her before driving away with Crystal Cortes.
The pair, prosecutors say, were paid by Delgado.
The jury also say the handgun that was used to kill Hatcher.
Prosecutors also showed the jury a short, shaky video found on Delgado’s phone.
They believe it’s the murder defendants voice talking about buying a silencer for a 40 caliber handgun....
Delgado faces an automatic life sentence if convicted."
