Cedric Marks, a veteran of over 50 MMA fights, is currently awaiting trial on two counts of homicide. Marks is accused of killing his former girlfriend Jenna Scott and her friend Michael Swearingin, who were both found in shallow graves near Clearview, OK in January 2019.
Marks risks the possibility of a death sentence if found guilty of these murders. Despite that, Marks has decided to represent himself at trial.
Marks was in court this week for a pretrial hearing. According to KCENTV Marks argued with prosecutors over a number of issues relating to the case and unsuccessfully attempted to have his trial delayed.
