Man Shot By Cop Pleads Guilty to Attempted Murder

Marvin Jefferson Mitchell, the Berlin man who was shot by an Ocean City police officer as he was stabbing his estranged wife in a resort apartment in December, pleaded guilty last week to attempted first-degree murder.

Mitchell, 28, entered an Alford plea last Friday in Circuit Court in Snow Hill. In an Alford plea, the defendant does not admit guilt but concedes that there is enough evidence for a conviction. It is treated like a guilty plea.

On Dec. 20, 2010, Mitchell was shot by Ocean City Cpl.
