(MN), Jun 18, 2015: Gun Evidence Adds New Wrinkle To Superior Homicide Case By: Olsen, Tom, Duluth News-Tribune
The situation is different for Phillips, 17, who has been out on bail since October and is living with her
family in Blanchardville, Wis.
"She probably would not like to walk herself into the jail at this stage and probably would not like to
give herself any more bad standing with the court system," Blank said, noting that she would be the
most likely co-defendant to take the stand.
Phillips offered statements to police that were crucial to the investigation, according to the criminal
complaints in the case. Phillips reported that she and Kane Robinson stayed in a car several blocks
from Velin's home while the other suspects went to rob the man, according to the documents.
Phillips allegedly told investigators that the three returned a short time later and told her that it "went
bad," with Andrews accidentally shooting Velin, 20, during a skirmish that ensued during the
attempted robbery.
