P. v. Hayes
Defendants and appellants, Justin Tyme Hayes, Derek Shane O’Brien, and Mark Anthony Wisler, are members or associates of the Coors Skins (Coors), a White supremacist gang. On an evening in November 2008, they, among others, beat a Hispanic man into a coma. Separate juries convicted them of attempted murder, active participation in a criminal street gang, and assault by means of force likely to cause great bodily injury. Each jury also found true allegations that defendants personally inflicted great bodily injury and that the crimes were committed for the benefit of, at the direction of, or in association with a criminal street gang. Wisler’s jury found true the allegation that the attempted murder was premeditated and deliberate; Hayes’s jury and O’Brien’s jury found the same allegation not true. Hayes and O’Brien were each sentenced to prison for 22 years 8 months. Wisler was sentenced to a prison term of 21 years to life.
