Marvin Scott III died in police custody, family will protest until involved officers are arrested Marissa Martinez and Shelby Tauber, The Texas Tribune April 13, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail A prison is pictured in this Getty stock photo. Darrin Klimek/Getty Images For the past four weeks, a group of up to 40 protesters has gathered outside the Collin County Jail nearly every night around 9 p.m. They hang signs, draw on the sidewalk with chalk and decorate the chain link fence, celebrating the life of Marvin Scott III, who died while in the custody of jail staff in March. Consistently, their memorials have been taken down by county staff. But that doesn’t deter his sister, LaChay Batts, from returning every day with other community members outside the jail in McKinney.
