An El Paso County jury wrapped its fifth day of deliberations Thursday with no verdict in the case of a man accused in the 2017 gang slayings of two Colorado Springs teenagers — an “excruciating” delay for everyone involved, one observer says.
Marco Garcia-Bravo, who faces a life sentence if convicted of first-degree murder in the deadly shootings of 16-year-old Natalie Cano-Partida and 15-year-old Derek Greer, is likely to be squirming alongside his attorneys — to say nothing of the victims’ families.
“It’s almost sickening — it’s more stressful than the trial itself,” said attorney Jeremy Loew, who isn’t involved in the case.
