The different faces of Terry Hayes
Washington County Circuit Judge William Storey sentenced Terry Hayes Tuesday to 40 years for putting a gun to this son’s head, threatening to kill him and later intimidating a witness.
Hayes was convicted by a jury on Sept 24. on charges of aggravated assault on a family member, terroristic threatening, intimidating a witness and felon in possession of a firearm.
While still on bond, he left the courthouse before the jury returned sentencing recommendations totaling 55 years and fines totaling $45,000
Hayes still faces between three and 30 years upon conviction on charges of failure to appear for sentencing.
On the jury convictions, Hayes faced as many as 55 years and as few as 20 years or less. Judges can run sentences on each offense either consecutively or concurrently and can also reduce a recommended sentence, even though they hardly ever do.
