Tyson Theodore Mayfield, a self-identified skinhead, was convicted of multiple felonies, including a hate crime for menacing a pregnant Black woman in Fullerton. Initially sentenced to five years, pressure from the Orange County district attorney’s office led to a revised sentence of at least 38 years. Mayfield's threats—including racial slurs directed at the woman, who fled in fear for her and her unborn child's lives—spanned several incidents over the course of the interaction before he was apprehended by police.
I hope that no one else ever has to feel the absolute blood-chilling terror this young mother described as she had to run for her life, and the life of her baby, not because of what she did, but because of the color of her skin.
The then-42-year-old Mission Viejo man clenched his fists and threatened the life of the woman's unborn child, according to a criminal complaint.
