Tyson Theodore Mayfield has been resentenced following an appeal by Orange County prosecutors against his previous five-year sentence for threatening a pregnant Black woman. After his 2019 guilty plea for making criminal threats and committing a hate crime, the Orange County District Attorney's office argued that the original sentence was excessive in leniency. Due to his past convictions, including assaults and hate crimes, Mayfield is now subject to a maximum sentence of 38 years to life under California's Three Strikes law, highlighting a systemic response to repeat offenders involved in racially motivated violence.
