Attorney Michael Kimerer, left, works on behalf of Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne, right, during a hearing on Feb. 10, 2014 in Phoenix, Ariz. A prosecutor says evidence will show that Horne was in constant communication with Kathleen Winn, an aide who was running an independent group backing him in the 2010 election, and she passed along his suggestions about campaign ads attacking his Democratic rival to her campaign consultant. That "coordination" is illegal in Arizona, and Kreutzberg told a judge hearing a civil case brought against Horne and Winn that interviews and telephone, email and other records gathered during an FBI investigation will prove it.
