Updated with automatic life sentence and other details from today's testimony.

A jury needed less than 20 minutes Friday to find a jilted woman guilty of orchestrating the 2015 murder of a Dallas pediatric dentist who was dating her ex-boyfriend.

Brenda Delgado, 36, was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for hiring two people to kill Kendra Hatcher, who was shot Sept. 2, 2015, in the parking garage of her Uptown apartment building.

Prosecutors said Delgado was jealous of Hatcher's relationship with Delgado's ex, Ricardo Paniagua, so she paid two accomplices to kill her.

In four days of testimony, attorneys characterized Delgado as a jealous ex who wanted Hatcher dead so she could be with Paniagua again.

Love has been sentenced to death in the case, and Cortes agreed to plead guilty and got 35 years in prison in exchange for testifying against the other two.

Witnesses told the jury that Delgado was unhappy with Paniagua's new relationship. Two witnesses testified that she attempted to recruit them to attack Hatcher before she chose Kristopher Love, who has been convicted of being the triggerman, and Crystal Cortes, the getaway driver.

The jury also saw evidence that Delgado saved photos of Hatcher and Paniagua on her phone and had been tracking the location of her ex's iPhone. She also had his Social Security number saved, as well as some of his personal emails and text messages.

Kevin Brooks, the lead prosecutor, said Delgado had the photos and texts on her phone because she was stalking Paniagua. Brooks said people have characterized the crime as a love triangle, but that's not the case.

"In a love triangle, those three individuals generally know each other. That beautiful soul, Kendra Hatcher, she didn't know this lady," Brooks said Friday in closing arguments. "The only person in a love triangle is [Delgado] and it's a love triangle she created."

A jury convicted Love, 35, of capital murder and sentenced him to death in October. Cortes, 27, pleaded guilty to murder and struck a deal for a 35-year sentence if she testified against Love and Delgado.

In her testimony, Cortes told jurors Delgado envied Hatcher and wanted to "get rid" of her. Delgado paid her $500 to drive Love away from the scene in a black Jeep Cherokee, she said, and gave Love money and drugs to shoot Hatcher.

George Milner, Delgado's attorney, spent much of his closing remarks attacking Cortes' credibility as the state's key witness. On Tuesday, he questioned why she waited until a month before Love's trial to finally tell her version of the truth.

Milner suggested it was Cortes' and Love's idea to kill Hatcher, because they knew the crime would be linked to Delgado instead of them. He said Cortes testified against Delgado only to avoid life in prison or a death sentence.

"They didn't give her something for nothing," Milner said of Cortes' plea deal. "This is Crystal Cortes' backup plan."

The defense will appeal the verdict, Milner said after the trial.

Prosecutors urged the jury to consider the number of witnesses who corroborated Cortes' story, including two people who said Delgado had previously tried to recruit them to attack Hatcher.

Bonnie Jameson, Hatcher's mother, said justice was served with the verdict. She called Delgado "the root of all evil" after the judge sentenced Delgado to life.

"You could've never measured up to be the woman that my daughter Kendra Hatcher was," Jameson told Delgado from the witness stand.

Delgado fled to Mexico after the killing and was arrested there in 2016. She didn't face a death sentence because of an agreement with Mexican authorities that secured her extradition.
