UPDATE
Marvin Guy was found guilty of murder on Tuesday during Day Two of trial.
This is a day that Detective Dinwiddle's family has been seeking for nine years.
“Chuck’s family believes he is guilty of capital murder. We’re relieved for the conviction of Marvin Guy in the charge of murder," said his sister, Ellen Dinwiddie Smith ina partial statement to the press on Tuesday.
"This case was constantly pushed forward by the prosecution but the judge chose to delay justice for an outrageous amount of time.”
Guy’s brother Garett Galloway is just glad to see the end is here.
“I just feel like it was ‘If we can’t get you this, way we’re going to get you another way' — there’s no winners in this," Galloway said.
"It's just a sad occasion."
Galloway said it’s up to his brother to decide if he wants to appeal the verdict.
Jurors will also hear about Guy's criminal history next week which they could use to add more time to his final sentence.
The jury will return Monday to begin the sentencing phase.
