Marvin Cotton, age 22, was convicted of the shooting death of Jamond McIntyre in 2001.
Jailhouse informant Ellis Frazier testified that Cotton confessed to the crime while behind bars, however in a March 2014 affidavit Frazier stated “he did not confess to me about being a part of any crime like I testified to at the trial. All of the information and details in the police statement was pre-written and wholly composed by the homicide detective.”
Marvin would like to be an entrepreneur with some well developed ideas of what steps it will take to get there.
