He said that he had the fear of his life and his family’s life that night in the bar. The witnesses, who were present at the crime scene, said that Marcum was involved in a fight with Michael Steinhauser, 35-year-old, and he drew the gun.

Witnesses also testified that Marcum opened the fire when Tucker intervened in the fight to put down Marcum’s gun. Marcum opened the fire when Tucker intervened, the witnesses said. The jury found Marcum ‘guilty’ in all charges. His sentence is set for October 10. He was found guilty on three counts of First-Degree Murder.

Marcum was proven guilty in the court for possessing a firearm by a felon. The charges of aggravated battery and discharge of a firearm were also proven in the court by the prosecutors.
