Court observers say that the conviction of Rachel Kozloff may be more than the tragic outcome of a love affair that turned violent.
It may also pave the way for more use of high tech evidence in the future.
Kozloff was found guilty by a jury late Friday afternoon in part due to evidence from more than 2000 text messages that helped the jury see inside the minds of the people involved in the days and weeks leading up to the shooting.
"It's the first time I've ever seen such a trail of a relationship," Kozloff attorney Jamie Mead told us. "But as I think we go on we'll see more and more of it."
District Attorney Jack Daneri agreed. "It's the way people communicate now and we tell them, even little kids, it's out there forever once you (post it)."
Kozloff faces up to 47 years in jail if given the maximum on all counts by Judge Shad Connelly.
Sentencing is set for January 29th.
