Judge challenged on constitutionality of gag order in Killeen capital murder case

Posted

A defense attorney used a First Amendment argument to challenge a Bell County district court judge on the gag order that the judge imposed in 2015 in a Killeen capital murder case, but no ruling was made on the matter during a hearing this week.

Marvin Louis Guy, 56, was booked into jail on May 10, 2014. Accused of killing a Killeen police detective during a no-knock warrant, Guy is facing the death penalty after being indicted on four capital felony charges. His bonds total $4 million.
