It was never confirmed she killed Marco, just seems very likely. She could not have, but it's our best guess based on what we know. Also, considering her character, it's not that unlikely.

I did not only watch the anime and assuming that based off of one comment seems quite premature. I admit I came to AoT through the anime, but I read the entire manga over the course of 2 days after I finished it. Regardless of what either of us think about Annie, it will ultimately boil down to opinion. Perhaps my view is skewed because I watched the anime first, but that doesn't make either view right. Only reading the manga I could come to the exact same conclusion, that I have no sympathy for her. Regardless of her ulterior motives or what plot device will be further introduced to make her sympathetic, she has commited terrible crimes. Revealing her motive for commiting terrible crimes is of no interest to me, because I is is nearly impossible to get me to hate humans. I am a human with all my flaws, I can identify with Gunther, or Levi, or Erwin, or even Eren. Annie is an alien force killing what I am, and I can never appreciate her motives because of what she did.
