A Killeen capital murder case dating back to 2014 could be further delayed if the defendant hires three new attorneys, who would be the fourth legal team to represent the man.
Marvin Louis Guy, 56, has been held in the Bell County Jail since being booked on May 10, 2014.
The three attorneys, Justin A. Moore, Joseph Caleb and Phil Andonian, appeared during a remote status hearing in the 27th Judicial District Court on Monday afternoon. Moore is the only Texas-based attorney, which means that Caleb and Andonian would have to obtain permission from the Texas State Bar to be âsecond chairsâ on a death penalty case.

Guy, who is facing the death penalty, has been held in the Bell County Jail since being booked on May 10, 2014. His bonds total $4 million on four capital felonies, including capital murder of a peace officer.
A Bell County judge decided against reducing the bond this week of a Killeen man who has been awaiting trial on a murder charge since being booked into the Bell County Jail more than two and a half years ago.
Parish Dionte Young, 28, was indicted on March 28, 2018, in connection to the shooting death of Larry James Sterling Jr., 35, on Feb. 10, 2018, in Harker Heights.
Young has been in custody since Feb. 20, 2018.
