But 検察官，検事s 述べるd Phillips as a gold digger who 雇うd a former boyfriend to kill Triano to collect on a $2million life 保険 政策 ーするために 持続する her extravagant taste for the good life.

It's been nearly two １０年間s since Triano died when his car 爆発するd as he was leaving a Tucson-area country club after playing ゴルフ.

当局 said Phillips paid ex-boyfriend Ronald Young $400,000 to carry out the 攻撃する，衝突する. Young was 罪人／有罪を宣告するd in 2010 and 宣告，判決d to two life 条件 in 刑務所，拘置所, but 賠審員s weren't 許すd to consider his 事例／患者 while 決定するing Phillips' 運命／宿命.

'The 明言する／公表する went after the 平易な 示すs,' 弁護 弁護士／代理人／検事 Paul Eckerstrom told 賠審員s during の近くにing arguments, 示すing that Triano had plenty of other enemies with better 動機s to kill him. 'You have to tell the 明言する／公表する: "You made a mistake."'

陰謀（を企てる）: Phillips had entered a 嘆願 of not 有罪の but 賠審員s were 納得させるd by voicemails she left for her ex-boyfriend-turned-暗殺者 who was 罪人／有罪を宣告するd in 2010 (seen in 法廷，裁判所 last week)

検察官，検事s 現在のd a portrait of a woman who grew accustomed to the high life and 設立する herself struggling financially with an 平易な $2million way out.

The 明言する／公表する's 事例／患者 against her hinged 大部分は on the 趣旨d secret 協定 between Phillips and Young, who the 被告 時代遅れの while working as a real 広い地所 仲買人 in Aspen, Colo., after she 離婚d Triano.

While Phillips （人命などを）奪う，主張するd she had paid Young the $400,000 for 援助 with 商売／仕事 投機・賭けるs and 財政上の planning, 検察官，検事s argued the money was 明確に 支払い（額） for the 攻撃する，衝突する.

'He's not getting paid for 商売／仕事 advice that she never takes ― he's getting paid for 殺人,' 検察官，検事 Rick Unklesbay said in の近くにing arguments.

During the 裁判，公判, in 新規加入 to 証言，証人／目撃するs, 検察官，検事s used 財政上の 記録，記録的な／記録するs and telephone conversations that Young 内密に 記録，記録的な／記録するd during 会談 with Phillips. In one 記録，記録的な／記録するing, Young appears to grow angry over not receiving his 支払い（額）s, telling Phillips, 'You're going to be in a woman's 刑務所，拘置所 for 殺人.'

弁護 lawyers said the calls were 単に the ramblings of a 詐欺師.

One 起訴 証言，証人／目撃する, a longtime friend of Phillips, 証言するd that Phillips once told her how 平易な it would be to 雇う someone to kill her husband.

The 弁護 downplayed the 証言, 公式文書，認めるing Phillips was distraught at the time after having a fight with Triano during which he 脅すd her. Phillips' lawyers also called into question the 証言，証人／目撃する' memory.

Triano was a developer who made millions 投資するing in Indian bingo halls and slot-machine parlors in Arizona and California before 議会 権限を与えるd tribes to open 十分な-blown casinos. But after the real 広い地所 market 拒絶する／低下するd and he lost 支配（する）／統制する of his 賭事ing 利益／興味s, Triano went broke.

That's around the time Phillips とじ込み／提出するd for 離婚, 検察官，検事s said.

支援する in the day: The 起訴 painted Phillips, seen left in an undated photo, as a gold digger who left her real 広い地所 developer husband Gary Triano (権利) after he lost much of his fortune

The couple, who had two children together, separated, but Phillips remained the 受益者 of Triano's 保険 政策, 支払う／賃金ing the 賞与金s herself.

Upset: On Thursday, the Arizona 法廷，裁判所 heard recordings that Phillips' ex boyfriend Ron Young (pictured) made when he was calling her about 支払い（額）s for the 爆破

She 結局 moved to Aspen and worked in real 広い地所 before 会合 Young, and 検察官，検事s said the two would later hatch a 計画（する） to kill Triano and collect on the 政策.

After the 殺人，大当り, Young was on the run from a 令状 for his 逮捕（する） in Colorado on 詐欺 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金s while Phillips was sending him money for the 攻撃する，衝突する, 結局 追加するing up to $400,000, 検察官，検事s told 賠審員s.

The 調査 into Triano's 殺人，大当り 立ち往生させるd until Young's 逮捕（する） in 2005 in Florida on the 詐欺 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金s. That's when both Phillips and Young became the 重要な 嫌疑者，容疑者／疑うs in the 殺人，大当り. 当局 say he kept 詳細（に述べる）d 記録，記録的な／記録するs of his 財政上の 処理／取引s with Phillips, 含むing 記録，記録的な／記録するd telephone conversations and invoices. 検察官，検事s said police also 設立する 離婚 記録，記録的な／記録するs 付随するing to Phillips and Triano in a 先頭 rented by Young.

She was 逮捕（する）d in Austria in 2009 and （国外逃亡犯を）引き渡すd to Tucson. Her 事例／患者 was 延期するd after a 裁判官 支配するd she was mentally unfit to stand 裁判，公判 at the time.

Phillips' 弁護士／代理人／検事s argued throughout the 裁判，公判 that the 証拠 against her was flimsy, and that Phillips was already 豊富な with her own money. They said Young didn't even kill Triano, raising the specter that it could have been a 攻撃する，衝突する by a jilted 投資家.
