"It's my feeling he's being penalized for refusing to cooperate," Patterson said. A report detailing Naman's pre-screening evaluation was not made public. But Wilcox's husband, Earl, who attended the evaluation, said Naman refused to work with the psychological staff. Naman also became upset that efforts had been made to talk with his family, and stood up throughout -one entire evaluation meeting, Earl Wilcox said.

During one meeting, Naman was asked whether he had any enemies, 'Earl Wilcox said, and he named Mary Rose Wilcox and Jerry Colangelo, president of the Phoenix Suns and Arizona Diamondbacks. Earl Wilcox added, "I'm very con cerned about my wife, her safety and other people if he is out on the streets again. If he doesn't agree with your political views, you're going to be his target." Naman, 50, is accused of shooting Mary Rose Wilcox as she was leaving the Board of Supervisors auditorium in downtown Phoenix. He remains in the Madison Street Jail in lieu of $1 million bail. A transient with a history of mental illness, Naman said he attacked Wilcox because of her support of a countywide sales tax to partly fund construction of the Bank One Ballpark.

In 1988, he was charged with first-degree murder in the death of a California hitchhiker whose body was dumped in Tempe. Naman also said he killed three other people. He was found competent to stand trial, and was acquitted. became the co-signer on personal checks for the Ed and Jeanne Tovrea, and looked after some of Jeanne Tovrea's financial affairs after her husband died in 1983. Kearney testified that Jeanne and Ed Tovrea's stepchildren Priscilla, Georgia and Ed Jr.

"got along fine," but that relations became strained when Ed Sr. became ill about 1981. After Ed's death two years later, Kearney said, he never saw the children with Jeanne at her home. He was entrusted with the letter from Ed, and gave it to the children when their father died. Ed wrote that the letter was intended to supplement his will and "make clear to you my reasons for my decisions." He suggested that his children would be comfortable, and might invest their portion or save for retirement.

"Since all you have to do is support yourselves, your inheritance is enough to allow you to live handsomely." By Susie Steckner Th Arizona Republic Before cattle baron Ed Tovrea Sr. died, he wrote a letter to his tliree children explaining how his vast estate would be divided, and why. The letter was to be opened only after his death, Jeanne, Tovrea's third wife, would receive the bulk of the estate; his children each would get a monthly income. "As it stands now, Jeanne will be amply cared for, which in my opinion she is most certainly entitled to," he wrote, "as we have had a wonderful life together and love each other very much." The letter was read Thursday during the trial of James Harrod, accused of murdering Jeanne Tovrea in 1988. The childrens' share, along with life insurance policies and their grandfathers inheritance, would "provide more than enough to Hve on," the letter said But, police say, the children did not agree.

They were furious with Jeanne Tovrea for squandering their inheritance, court records say. One, Edward "Hap" Tovrea was later implicated in the murder-for-hire plot that led to her 1988 death. Hap Tovrea, prosecutors say, hired Harrod, of Ahwatukee, to do the job. Harrod is charged with first-degree murder, none of die stepchildren has been charged in the case. The letter was introduced during testimony from the elder Tovrea's longtime friend and accountant, Glenn Kearney.

Kearney went to work for Phil Tovrea Sr. in 1945 as an accountant, and stayed with the Tovrea companies until 1983.
