Marvin Guy hires new attorneys in capital murder case
During a short hearing on Monday afternoon, the defendant in a 2014 Killeen capital murder case officially hired new attorneys, which could delay a jury trial further.
Marvin Louis Guy, 56, has been held in the Bell County Jail since being booked on May 10, 2014, on four capital felony charges.
Innocence Project of Texas Executive Director Mike Ware will be first chair on Guyâs case, with Justin A. Moore, a criminal defense attorney from Dallas, as second chair.
Guy is accused of shooting a Killeen Police Department detective, who later died, during a no-knock raid on Guyâs residence on Circle M Drive in 2014. Guy has claimed self-defense, saying that he did not know it was police entering his residence.
Nearly three decades after their mother was found brutally killed in north Killeen, three brothers are on a mission to find answers in the unsolved homicide case.
âWe want to know, before we die â Who did it, and why?â said Danny Koch, one of the sons of Fannie Ruth Koch Cockrum, who was found dead in the consignment store she owned at the corner of Gilmer Street and York Avenue in north Killeen on April 9, 1992.
To mark the 29th answer anniversary of her death, Koch placed 29 roses on her grave Friday at the Killeen City Cemetery on Rancier Avenue.
