The whole event was because the cops were serving a search warrant as part of a home invasion probe at the home of the marine under investigation for being the muscle for that home invasion gang.

Tucson Police say a gun found in Guerena’s house had been stolen in a burglary at a home in the 4300 Block of East Holmes three years ago.

Thanks for providing some info that I had not seen about “evidence”.

Regardless, I am of the opinion that the police should have attempted to apprehend him outside of his home vs. in his “castle”.

Buying a stolen gun is not a death penalty offense and it was not part of the bogus warrant. What was wrong with a phone call to a man at home with his wife and kid. And officer friendly driving over during daylight hours.

OK, I'll give you that the following is a defense of Guerena, but I'll ask it anyway:

Did Guerena steal the gun found in his home?

Furthermore, can the police prove the provenance of the gun? They themselves have access to stolen weapons, if I recall correctly.
