Jurors are due back in court Monday to begin deliberations in the trial of David Martinez, accused of killing a Pomona SWAT officer back in 2014.
A prosecutor told jurors Friday that the evidence overwhelmingly shows that a man murdered a Pomona SWAT officer who was helping to serve a search warrant in San Gabriel.
Jurors in Martinez's first trial acquitted him of first-degree murder in June 2019, but deadlocked on the lesser charge of second-degree murder involving the death of the 16-year law enforcement veteran.Martinez, now 44, surrendered to police shortly after the shooting, telling officers, "I'm sorry. I didn't know you were the police. I thought you were the Mongols.''
Deputy District Attorney Hilary Williams urged jurors to hold Martinez -- a Mongols member at the time -- responsible for his actions.
