Marquis pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter and second-degree burglary during his trial and was given a deal. In exchange for providing evidence that he had not been hired by someone else to kill Eva, Marquis was given a plea deal in 1994 to serve twenty-four years in prison.

Marquis would be given this plea deal if admitted to acting alone without any outside influences. After admitting he acted alone, this is when he received the twenty-four-year sentence. In 1997, Marquis was relocated to the Penitentiary of New Mexico in Santa Fe and where he was paroled in 2011 for good
