Marvin Guy Convicted of Murder in Fatal Shooting of Police Detective
Marvin Guy has been found guilty of murdering a police officer during a no-knock raid in Texas. Guy, who waited in jail for over nine years before his trial, claimed he mistook the officer for an intruder after a SWAT team smashed his bedroom window and attempted to break into his home. The jury convicted him of murder but not capital murder, indicating they did not unanimously agree that Guy knew he was shooting at law enforcement. The case highlights the debate surrounding the use of no-knock raids and the right to self-defense. Sentencing is scheduled for next week.
