During the trial, the jury heard that Dixon taunted Lloyd about their unborn baby, saying she would not allow him to see it when it was born.<br />
His attorneys claimed he was upset with her for smoking marijuana and eating meat, despite being pregnant.<br />
He said he did not approve of her eating meat because he does not believe &#8216;in death&#8217; and thinks that we are all &#8216;God&#8217;s creatures&#8217;, he testified on Monday.<br />
He also however testified that he is not into religion.<br />
Lloyd insisted that his ex-girlfriend reached for a different gun and was going to kill him but that police stole it from the scene.</p>

He said it was because he wanted to raise a family.<br />
Lloyd&#8217;s attorneys based their defense on the idea that he was a loving would-be parent and that he was desperately trying to get his ex to stop smoking marijuana.<br />
However text messages between the pair indicated that he had also been unfaithful to her and that he had gone to strip clubs.<br />
Lloyd is yet to be tried for the police officer&#8217;s murder.<br />
Prosecutors are also asking for him to be sentenced to death in that case.<br />
Clayton was praised as a hero when she confronted him outside Walmart after recognizing him.<br />
That trial is not due to begin until next year.</p>
