P. v. Bradley CA3
Defendant Michael Allen Bradley and several cohorts targeted two Hispanic men -- C. L. and M. S. -- to rob. Codefendant Kayla Tanner contacted each man on Facebook and lured them to a residence in Redding under the guise of a sexual encounter. Once there, the group robbed the men, taking their money and cars, and held them hostage while they used their debit cards to purchase merchandise.
All of the perpetrators entered plea agreements except defendant. A jury found him guilty of residential robbery in concert, kidnapping for purposes of robbery, kidnapping for purposes of carjacking, carjacking, and false imprisonment by violence. Hate crime enhancements and personal use of a deadly weapon enhancements as to both victims were also found true, and defendant admitted having two prior strikes, two prior prison terms, and two prior serious felony convictions.
