HATTIESBURG, Miss. —Marvin Banks had already done two stints in state prison and faced an unserved indictment on drug charges when a Hattiesburg police officer pulled his girlfriend over for speeding just after sundown Saturday. But instead of escaping the possibility of more prison time, Banks, 26, is now jailed without bond on two capital murder charges. He is accused of shooting Officer Benjamin Deen in the face and Officer Liquori Tate in the back. “What I know right now is the first police officer walked up to the side of the car, the subject got out (and) shot him in the face.
