Jurors found Marcus Murphy guilty with the murder of Ebony Harris who was pregnant with twins in 2016.It only took the jury one hour and 45 minutes to find Marcus Murphy guilty on Wednesday. Murphy's defense team plans to file an appeal, but for now, he was sentenced to life in prison without the chance of parole.
Detectives found Murphy had flown to Houston from Virginia the day Harris was killed and flew back two hours later. His phone pinged at her apartment. The defense said the DNA may have come from the last time they were intimate months prior, but the jury didn't buy that. The defense said Harris had several partners when she got pregnant, and she was simply wishing Murphy was the father.
