SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) A California man was sentenced Friday to 27 years to life in prison for making racist threats against a pregnant Black woman after prosecutors appealed an earlier, lighter sentence, officials said. Tyson Mayfield, 49, pleaded guilty in a court-offered deal in 2019 to get a five-year sentence that the Orange County District Attorney's office opposed and later appealed. An appeals panel rejected the decision, and Mayfield was retried and convicted of making criminal threats with an enhancement for a hate crime.

The allegations made by Mr. Bryant against the firm and its partners are categorically false and repugnant. The firm will vigorously defend itself and our colleagues and intends to explore all available remedies in response to these outrageous claims.
