I was curious the other day and decided to type in Guy's name to see how far the story had gotten and what was being said about his murder. Surprisingly, his story ended up on FOXNews.com (here). Of course, the news story links his death to his testimony at the murder trial. I guess the argument can be made that if the police had provided him with protection following the trial, it would have been harder for the other neighborhood to shoot at him. It is obvious that everyone read about the death being linked to the testimony, and people don't remember that the day after it was reported to be unrelated to the testimony (although it is related to similar neighborhood feuds that led to Shaver's murder and Guy's murder - just different neighborhoods).
On another note, David Bonds, the one tried and acquitted for Shaver's murder and whose trial Guy testified in, is wanted for attempted murder because of a shooting that occurred over the weekend. Hmmmm. Wonder how that jury feels. One person held out refusing to convict him. I wonder which juror. I especially wonder if it was the alternate since one juror had to be dismissed after seeing the defendant make a gun with his fingers and point it at one of the witnesses. With all of the press coverage and outrage from the murder verdict, I think there is a good argument for transfer of venue for any future Bonds trial because it is going to be hard for him to get a fair trial on the current charges instead of being convicted on what he was acquitted for. I am glad I don't have to sit on any juries in New Orleans!
