Ep. 674 - GREAT NEWS! Prosecutors just dropped the death penalty from Marvin Guy's case. The Breakdown with Shaun King
-
- News
Nearly 2 years ago my team at the Grassroots Law Project took on the case of Marvin Guy - who was wrongly arrested for shooting and killing a police officer over 8 years ago in a horrible no-knock raid.
Wanting to see blood, they charged Marvin with murder and have been pursuing the death penalty. And for the past 8+ years, Marvin has been sitting in a local jail cell in rural Texas without ever being convicted of a crime. It's outrageous.
Well, yesterday, prosecutors finally decided what we knew all along - that they never should've pursued a case to execute Marvin - and they dropped that pursuit altogether.
This means we will still likely go to trial, but it also means they know they have a weak case.
THANK ALL OF YOU who've supported Marvin all these years.
