Cedric Marks, a veteran of over 50 professional fights, has seen his trial for capital murder set for April 4, 2022 (per Temple Daily Telegram). Marks, who is accused of killing Jenna Scott and Michael Swearingin, is to be tried in Bell County, Texas. If found guilty of these killings he faces a possible death sentence.
Marks was arrested in Michigan in early 2019 under suspicion of breaking into Scott’s home in Temple, TX and interfering with a 911 call. Scott, who had dated Marks, had previously tried to get a protective order against Marks and claimed that the fighter had choked her unconscious and threatened to kill her and her family.
