After a long and difficult investigation, the detectives presented their case against Victor to the courts. The evidence against him was overwhelming, and the prosecution made a strong case for Victor's guilt.
Victor, however, remained insistent on his innocence. He claimed that he had nothing to do with the murder and that he had been framed by the detectives. The trial turned into a tense affair, as both sides presented their evidence.
The jury ultimately found Victor guilty on all counts. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
As the trial ended, the detectives felt a sense of closure. They had worked hard to bring Marcus' killer to justice, and justice had been served.
The investigation had been both challenging and draining, but the detectives walked away from the case with a sense of pride. They knew that they had done everything in their power to solve the case and bring closure to Marcus' family. They felt that although nothing could bring Marcus back, at least the killer had been brought to justice.
