Mississippi man charged with murdering two policemen found dead in jail

Marvin Banks, 30, faced two counts of capital murder in the shooting deaths of Hattiesburg, Mississippi, police officers Benjamin Deen, 34, and Liquori Tate, 25, who were gunned down in during a routine traffic stop on May 9. It was the first killing of a police officer in the city for more than 30 years.

Deputies found Banks unconscious and alone in a jail cell on Friday, Forrest County Sheriff's Office spokesman Nick Calico said.

Paramedics attempted to revive Banks before taking him to a hospital where he pronounced dead at 7:40 p.m., according to Calico.

Calico said the cause of death was unknown. The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation will handle the case and an autopsy will be performed, he said.

Unless he was witnessed (on video) committing the crime, they should have let him be convicted first.....

I am pleased to read this. The only thing that would make me any happier would be to hear he experienced excruciating pain for a prolonged period prior to taking his last breath.
He is not in burning in hell for eternity.

Never had a chance to be convicted. All you that reply good need to be guilty before proven innocent in the same manner.
