Jacob Allen Barber, Oklahoma inmate 2007100. born 1997, incarceration intake 01/06/2023 at age 25, Sentenced to life without the possibility of parole.

Murder

In January 2023, a 25-year-old man convicted of killing his father was sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prison.

Cleveland County District Judge Michael Tupper followed a jury’s recommendation and sentenced Jacob Allen Barber, 25, to life without the possibility of parole as punishment for killing Glenn Barber, 48.

Glenn Barber, his father, was the former youth pastor at First Moore Baptist Church.

Tupper called the case “a real tragedy.”

“The jury has clearly spoken in this case,” he said. “They had an option of doing something less in this case given the evidence they heard, and they were quite deliberate in this sentence.”

A jury in September 2022 found Barber guilty of stabbing his father to death in the summer of 2019. He was arrested near Sanger, Texas, and brought back to the Cleveland County Detention Center.

Court records indicated the father and son “argued daily and had a volatile relationship.”

“The suspect has been to several mental institutions but refuses to take his prescribed medication,” a detective wrote in a court affidavit.

After a 7-day trial, jurors voted unanimously to recommended a sentence of life without the possibility of parole and a $10,000 fine.

The trial was delayed several times due to the pandemic and for mental health evaluations. Much of the testimony during the trial centered on Barber’s mental state.

But lead prosecutor Abby Nathan argued Barber’s actions were premeditated.

“It is important to show the circumstances and the manner of this homicide,” she told jurors. “It is our duty and honor to the jury to do so.”

Two family members attended the hearing Friday but neither addressed the court.

The defendant also declined to speak.

“We know that there isn’t anything that anyone can do to change what happened, but we believe that the collaboration between the different agencies to bring justice for the victim, Glen Barber, honors Mr. Barber’s memory,” Nathan said in a statement following the hearing.

“During the trial there was one commonality among the testimonies of Mr. Barber’s family and friends. They all said he was an incredible person. We hope to honor and remember Mr. Glen Barber in that way, as the incredible person he was.”

"What goes around....."

Michael Raymond Riley, Florida inmate V61968, born 1993, incarceration intake November 2023 at age 30, scheduled for release March 2028

Manslaughter

In June 2023, former prison guard Michael Riley was found guilty of manslaughter when he did a takedown on a prisoner at Lake Correctional Institution in 2020, a jury decided.

The inmate, Chris Howell, refused to let corrections officers remove the handcuffs that were fastened behind his back, so Riley rushed into his narrow cell and put him in an “arm bar,” which caused his head to hit the wall.

“Who does that?” the Assistant State Attorney asked during his closing argument. The DA sought a guilty verdict for a charge of second-degree murder.

The proper procedure was simply to close the door, he said. The alternative was to hook a tether to the handcuffs so they could pull him back and remove the handcuffs.  

“It was a terrible accident,” the defense attorney insisted. Corrections officers are allowed to use force, he said.

But “this was not a stumble,” said the DA. An assistant medical examiner testified that when Howell’s head hit the wall, breaking his neck, it was equivalent to a car crash where the victim is ejected from the vehicle.

The DA described Riley as a “hot head” who tormented Howell the day before by pulling back his food tray in the slot of his cell door.

“I’ve got something for you,” Riley threatened, when Howell finally snatched the tray. Riley repeated his threat when Howell refused to allow officers to remove his handcuffs. Riley rushed in and performed what is called a shoulder or arm-bar takedown.

Manslaughter is punishable by up to 15 years in prison. The Judge imposed a 5 year term.

Howell was imprisoned in 2019 on a four-year sentence for armed robbery. He was mentally ill, suffering from a personality disorder.

There had been trouble at the prison before. In July 2019, four officers were arrested and fired after a cellphone video reportedly surfaced showed them beating a prisoner.

In April 2020, two officers were accused of beating an inmate for allegedly smuggling contraband into the prison. The prisoner suffered a collapsed lung and broken ribs. They were arrested and charged with aggravated battery with great physical harm.

Brian A Anthony, Ohio offender A761892, born 1994, incarceration intake at age 25, projected release date 06/20/2029.

Murder, hit and run, causing the death of a police officer

Brian Anthony, the man who struck and killed Mentor Police Officer Mathew Mazany last year, was sentenced in Lake County Court of Common Pleas Friday to 11.5 years in prison.

In March, Anthony, 25, changed his not guilty plea to guilty on charges of aggravated vehicular homicide, operating a vehicle under the influence, failing to proceed with due caution and / or failure to change lanes when approaching a stationary public safety vehicle displaying emergency lights and one count of failing to stop after a crash. Friday, Judge John O'Donnell sentenced Anthony to maximum amount of time allowed.

“Obviously I think that based on his character throughout life and the scenario and what happened here, I felt the sentence was heavy,” said Perez.

Prosecutors said Anthony had heroin, fentanyl, codeine, ethanol and other derivatives of fentanyl in his urine during the time of the crash.

Officer Mazany died in June 2018 while assisting another officer on a traffic stop on State Route 2. He was standing outside of a police cruiser when he was struck by a Jeep Wrangler, according to Mentor Police Chief Kevin Knight.

Mazany was a 14-year veteran of the Mentor Police Department and was described by his coworkers as a “happy-go-lucky kind of guy.”

Mazey’s older brother, Mike, was frustrated by what saw as a lack of remorse from Anthony. Mazany wished his brother’s killer could have received more time.

“I feel like they didn’t just cheat my family out justice, I feel like they cheated the community out of justice,” said Mike Mazany.

The men face a mandatory minimum sentence of seven years in prison for the weapons charge, and could have faced up to life imprisonment. 

A federal grand jury indicted the men in May on the charges alleging they robbed the Luzerne National Bank at 1077 state Route 315 the afternoon of May 16.

Tony Torrez, New Mexico inmate 84970, born 1983, incarceration intake in 2016, at age 33, sentenced to 16 years; projected discharged date not published

Murder

In December 2016, the suspect charged in a shooting that killed a 4-year-old Albuquerque girl during what police say was a road-rage fight was sentenced to 16 years in prison on a murder charge before a packed courtroom filled with the tearful family members of the young victim.

Tony Torrez, 33, apologized to the girl’s family at his plea hearing a day after he accepted a deal with prosecutors that called for them to dismiss two counts of assault and a first-degree murder charge in exchange for him entering an Alford plea to a second-degree murder charge.

First-degree murder carried a life term. An Alford plea means Torrez does not admit guilt but acknowledges there is evidence to convict him.

“I’m sorry for taking the life of Lilly,” Torrez said. “I had no intention of hurting anyone that day. I ask for forgiveness from the bottom of my heart … I thought I was going to be the next road rage victim.”

Lilly Garcia, a preschooler, and her older brother were in the backseat of their father Alan Garcia’s pickup, heading home from school, when police say a lane-change dispute on Interstate-40 between Garcia and Torrez escalated. Lilly was struck with a bullet in the back of the head and died at University of New Mexico Hospital.

A prosecutor said experts would have testified at the jury trial that Lilly immediately became unconscious when she was shot and that she wasn’t able to feel any pain.

Torrez told investigators that Garcia had run him off the road and that he feared for his life when he shot at the family’s truck with the intention of firing off warning shots. He also said he did not know children were in the backseat when he opened fire – a defense that Veronica Garcia, the victim’s mother, rejected outright in her comments to the judge.

Torrez has an arrest record, but no prior felony convictions, according to online court records. He had a previous arrest on domestic violence and aggravated battery charges but evaded prosecution in the case and others, including an altercation that police said followed a dispute over a lane change in a parking structure.

Pablo D Lyle, Florida inmate S61685, born 1986, incarceration intake February 2023 at age 36, scheduled for release 08/24/2027; subject to immigration hold and detention

Manslaughter

In February 2023, a Mexican actor convicted of involuntary manslaughter was sentenced to five years in prison for issuing a deadly punch during a road rage confrontation in Miami in 2019.

Pablo Lyle, 36, a well regarding Mexican telenovela star who appeared in Netflix’s “Yankee,” faced a maximum sentence of up to 15 years in prison in the death of 63-year-old Juan Ricardo Hernández.

Security cameras reportedly showed Lyle punch Hernández in the face after an argument on the road. Lyle claimed the punch was in self-defense, adding that he feared the man was armed and his children were scared.  According to press accounts, Hernández was not armed and died at the hospital four days later from a traumatic brain injury.

The sentencing by Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Marisa Tinkler Mendez came almost four years after Lyle was charged with murder in the incident and two months after she rejected the actor’s request for a new trial.

In addition to the five-year sentence, the judge ordered Lyle to eight years of probation, conflict resolution management and 500 hours of community service.

During the sentencing hearing, which lasted more than three hours, Lyle reportedly looked calm and expressed remorse for his actions.

“I am very sorry,” Lyle said in Spanish, looking at some of Hernández’s family members who were in the courtroom. “I always pray for him and for you, with all my heart.”  The victim’s son was among those family members and had reportedly asked the judge to sentence Lyle to the 15-year maximum. He said he was with his father the day before the altercation. 

“I didn’t want to believe it was him,” Hernández’s son said of going to the hospital to see his father after receiving news of the incident.  He described his father as a “very happy, attentive person, with good health and principles.”

During the trial, Lyle’s lawyers argued that the punch was in self-defense and said there were inconsistencies with the evidence provided.

The judge, on the other hand, said Lyle made a “poor decision” by acting “out of anger.”  “The evidence shows that the action of Mr. Lyle was an act of violence,” Tinkler said. “Mr. Lyle has to be held responsible for those actions.”

The incident took place on March 31, 2019, when Lyle’s bother-in-law was taking him, his wife and two children to the airport. Surveillance video released at the time showed Hernández get out of his car at a stop light to confront Lyle’s brother-in-law, who was in front of him at the light, for reportedly cutting him off.

The brother-in-law got out of the car to argue with Hernández, who eventually turned around to head back toward his car. At that moment, Lyle jumped out of the car, ran toward Hernández and punched him before getting back into the car and leaving the scene.

Hernández reportedly collapsed in the road near his car.

Lyle had been detained since his conviction on October 4, 2022.

Assault, Attempted Assault

In January 2023, a beefy fitness model who stabbed his roommate more than a dozen times in a fit of rage was sentenced to eight years behind bars for the sensational 2018 attack.

Geoffrey Tracy, 30, learned his fate nearly four years after he came at his rental host Gregory Kanczes with a knife, leaving the then-50-year-old man covered in blood in his Hell’s Kitchen pad.

“It is only by the grace of god that I survived your assault that nearly ended my life,” Kanczes said in a victim impact statement read aloud during the hearing in Manhattan Supreme Court.

Justice Curtis Farber cited cellphone footage of the Aug. 14, 2018 crime as he sentenced Tracy — who was convicted at trial of assault and attempted assault the month before — saying he was disturbed by the sight of “a man literally having been assaulted by Mr. Tracy.”

Prosecutors initially sought 10 years in state prison, in addition to five years supervised release, while the defense argued that five years incarceration was sufficient.  Tracy, of Gilroy, Calif., was eventually handed an eight year term on the assault conviction and a sentence of up to four years for attempted assault, to run concurrently.

The stabbing frenzy occurred just days after Tracy, then 25, moved to New York to dance at a strip club.

Prosecutors said the bodybuilder attacked Kanczes 16 times with a knife after accusing him of going through his belongings. 

Tracy, who initially fled the scene and disposed of the knife, plead not guilty to charges of second-degree attempted murder and first-degree assault in Sept. 2018.

The prosecutor cited Tracy’s alleged steroid use, noting that he made money by dealing performance-enhancing drugs at the time of the attack.

Tracy, who looked noticeably less muscular in his khaki jail clothes, was supported in court by his father, Thomas Tracy, his girlfriend, Shawley Henderson, and his employer Alex Larson.

Before and After…..

Matthew Meyer, Wisconsin Lawyer

Meyer, a criminal defense lawyer in the summer of 2020, found himself being handcuffed in a courtroom for the second time in less than a year.

Meyer was arrested at the Criminal Justice Facility on a host of charges related to a bitter, drawn-out exit from a volatile relationship with a former girlfriend.

A sheriff’s deputy put cuffs on again after he was sentenced to a year in jail for crimes the judge said were made worse by his “energized evil” against the woman.

The Assistant District Attorney called the defendant arrogant and manipulative and said he used his position as a lawyer to “weaponize the criminal justice system” in threats against the woman. 

In July 2020, the matter was largely resolved with Meyer agreeing to plead guilty to two of the four counts of the indictment.  The Judge sentenced Meyer to a period of incarceration, but the sentence was stayed and Meyer was placed on probation.

“We’ll take this joker at his word,” – Judge 

Ryan Stevens, Michigan offender 102842, Born 1997, sentenced to probation at age 19, no term of incarceration was awarded, discharged from probation 09/24/2021

False Report or Threat of Terrorism (Attempted), Possession of Child Sexually Abusive Material

In September 2016, nearly one year after he was charged for his involvement in a school shooting plot, Ryan Stevens, 19, of Linden, was sentenced. He has been lodged at the Genesee County Jail since his arraignment on Oct. 31, 2015,

Instead, his sentencing in September 2016, the hearing was adjourned until he could testify against his co-defendant, Kody Brewer, 16, of Wolverine Lake, who has a trial set to begin in one month.

During the court hearing, Stevens’ attorney, Marc Hart, requested that certain language be changed and the prosecutor said he worried that Stevens wouldn’t be truthful on the stand. This could affect Stevens’ plea deal. 

Circuit Court Judge Joseph J. Farah told those in the courtroom who were crying to dry their tears because Stevens did a very bad thing. “We’ll take this joker at his word,” the Judge said.

Stevens was already sentenced in August to three years probation in an unrelated case of a child pornography video he made involving juveniles from Linden.

Sentencing was supposed to take place after Stevens accepted a deal in August, and pleaded guilty to false report or threat of terrorism, a five-year felony. He was originally charged with two counts in October 2015 — conspiracy to commit murder, punishable by up to 20 years in prison and false report or threat of terrorism.

Stevens, and his two co-defendants, Brewer, 16, and Lamarr Dukes, 16, of West Bloomfield, were apprehended after Argentine Township Police discovered social media posts about carrying out a potential school shooting at Linden High School and Linden Middle School in late October 2015.

During his plea hearing last month, Stevens admitted that what he did was childish and that it was supposed to be a joke, but that it wasn’t funny.

Argentine Township police discovered the child pornography video while investigating the school shooting plot. Stevens reportedly used a cell phone to record a 13-year-old having sex with a 15-year-old male, who attended Linden schools, at a Red Roof Inn on Miller Road in Flint Township in October 2015.

Stevens was sentenced in December 2016 to five years of probation.

“This has gone on long enough.”  –Judge

Brett Grimnes, Washington state inmate 370910, born 1982, incarceration intake (this time) in 2022 at age 40, sentenced to 7 years – anticipated release date unavailable

Robbery

A 40-year-old Anacortes, Washington man avoided life in prison when a judge ruled that a previous conviction did not qualify as what is known under state law as a strike offense.

In Washington, three convictions on what are considered by the state to be among the most serious of offenses results in a life sentence without the possibility of parole.

But the Judge ruled that Brett Harold Grimnes’ 2012 conviction of aggravated assault in Montana was not comparable to a strike offense under Washington law.  Instead, the Judge sentenced Grimnes for his 2022 conviction on first-degree robbery to seven years in prison and 18 months of community custody following his release.

Grimnes has a previous conviction for second-degree assault in Washington state in 2015. That conviction, as well as the 2022 first-degree robbery conviction, are strike offenses.

Grimnes was arrested by Skagit County Sheriff’s Office deputies on May 7, 2021 for allegedly robbing a gas station on Old Highway 99 North, according to an affidavit of probable cause.  According to the affidavit, a man later determined to be Grimnes hit a clerk in the gas station’s store with a wrench and stole items from the store.

Grimnes represented himself at his trial.

Following his conviction, he filed multiple motions alleging prosecutorial misconduct and claiming his standby counsel obstructed and manipulated his relationship with his expert witness.  “The standby counsel has been violating my right to confidentiality and manipulating me in order to help the prosecutor ever since she was assigned to me by the court,” Grimnes wrote in a motion.

The standby counsel denied the claims in Grimnes’ motion that she obstructed any access of Grimnes to his expert witness and denied she had contact with one of the jurors who was her brother’s boss.  The standby counsel further stated that she had never met her brother’s boss.  Grimnes also accused the the local jail of obstructing his access to briefings and case files.

Grimnes said he wasn’t “going to play … stupid little games” in order to obtain access to his files.

He asked the Judge for additional time to prepare for his sentencing because he said he had not been provided the records to prepare for the hearing.

The judge denied Grimnes’ request for more time, saying “this has gone on long enough.”

Avery Hogan Pendergraph, Georgia inmate 1003093515, born 1987, incarceration intake at age 32, scheduled release 08/10/207

Racketeering, Sexual exploitation of a child, Eavesdrop and Surveillance, Trespassing

In the span of a week, a Georgia man first arrested in 2019 after he was accused of secretly filming his female roommate in Athens was indicted on rape charges and then sentenced in Troup County to 50 years in prison for a litany of sex crimes.

Avery Hogan Pendergraph, 34, of LaGrange, agreed to a negotiated guilty plea on 18 felony counts, Coweta Judicial Circuit District Attorney Herb Cranford said in a news release. Those charges included two counts of violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, five counts of sexual exploitation of children, nine counts of invasion of privacy, and one count each of trespassing and possession of eavesdropping devices, better known as spy cameras.

During what Cranford described as a “lengthy guilty plea proceeding,” six of Pendergraph’s victims delivered “impactful and emotional statements” that detailed their years of abuse at the hands of the defendant.

The sentence was the result of an 18-month investigation that involved LaGrange police, Athens-Clarke County police and the GBI, Cranford said. The investigation led authorities in Athens to indict Pendergraph on new charges of rape and aggravated sodomy. Those charges stem from separate incidents against additional victims in Athens beyond the first victim, Pendergraph’s former roommate.

According to Cranford, Pendergraph’s crimes were traced all the way back to 2012 when he began videotaping and photographing women he was dating without their consent. He would upload the photos and videos to porn websites using email accounts and other online accounts that he created with the victims’ actual names. Some of the accounts went so far as to identify the victims’ jobs and where they lived. Pendergraph created hundreds of these accounts, Cranford said.

Pendergraph’s victims also included women with whom he never had a relationship. He created fake nude photos of friends, acquaintances and other women on the internet by taking their photos from social media and editing their faces onto nude bodies, Cranford said. He shared those photos on the internet using the victims’ real names and information.

Pendergraph also hid video cameras in both private and public bathrooms and videotaped men, women and children using the bathroom, Cranford said. He would then edit the videos and share them on the internet using off-shore file-sharing websites. Pendergraph also acquired and shared hundreds of child porn videos and photos that showed the molestation of children and infants.

In the indictment filed by Cranford’s office, which was reviewed by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, prosecutors said Pendergraph’s scheme “was intended to exalt himself through voyeuristic control over and sexualized exploitation of women and children.”

Those 18 felony charges only account for Pendergraph’s case in Troup County. On March 2, he was charged in Athens with one count of rape and three counts of aggravated sodomy, online court records show.

According to the indictment, also reviewed by the AJC, the four incidents took place between 2014 and 2019. Two of the counts accuse Pendergraph of forcing himself on a victim while holding her down on a couch, and one accuses him of holding a woman facedown on a bed with a pillow over her head, not allowing her to breathe.

Pendergraph’s arraignment in Athens is scheduled for March 21, online court records show.

Regardless of the outcome of Pendergraph’s case in Athens, he has already been sentenced by a Troup judge to 50 years in prison followed by 20 years on probation, Cranford said.

After the sentence was handed down, Cranford praised the case’s investigators and prosecutors “in obtaining this negotiated lengthy prison sentence.”

Above all, the DA said he “wishes to praise the resilience and courage of the women who were victimized for so long and who hopefully feel some comfort in knowing this predator has received a measure of the justice he deserves.”
