According to the indictment filed on May 25, 2010, Marquez-Guillen was charged with multiple counts of kidnapping, assault, and murder. The authorities alleged that Marquez-Guillen had been involved in a string of violent incidents that left several people dead and many others injured.
The trial, which began on a cold winter morning in January 2011, was a closely watched affair.
