Guillermo Novo and Alvin Ross Diaz could receive life prison terms and Novo's brother Ignacio faces a maximum 13 years in prison after his conviction on two counts of lying to a grand jury and one count of covering up the crime...

Marshall says, "I didn't go before the grand jury to seek an indictment in the Johnson case, either. I have always made it a policy to prosecute shootings involving the police, whether they are victims or defendants," once charges are brought...
