Mikal X. Wilde<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mikal X. Wilde<\/strong> is facing from 55 to life along with a $1.5 million fine, officials said.<\/p>\n

Wilde murdered Mario Roberto Juarez-Madrid<\/strong> and shot Pedro Fernando Lopez-Paz<\/strong> on August 25, 2010, on the Wilde’s marijuana farm in Humboldt County, California.<\/p>\n

Wilde was found guilty of six felonies including Using a Firearm to Commit First Degree Murder, Murder in the Course of a Narcotics Offense, Conspiracy to Commit Marijuana Offenses, \u00a0Marijuana Offenses, and two counts of Using a Firearm During a Crime of Violence or Narcotics Trafficking Offense.<\/p>\n

Evidence at trial showed the following facts:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • \u00a0Wilde, 33, of Kneeland, Calif., began a large marijuana grow with more than 1500 plants on over 800 acres of mountain property in Kneeland, California\u2014close to Eureka\u2014during the summer of 2010.<\/li>\n
  • In the course of his marijuana cultivation operation, Wilde hired three workers to water and care for the plants, including Juarez-Madrid and Lopez-Paz, both from Guatemala.<\/li>\n
  • During August of 2010, Wilde provided the workers with firearms to protect against robbery of the marijuana grow.<\/li>\n
  • In late August, the workers became unhappy and wanted to leave with payment for the work they had already performed after Wilde altered their work conditions.<\/li>\n
  • Rather than paying the workers, Wilde took the firearms away from them, and on August 25, 2010, returned to the property armed, and shot them.<\/li>\n
  • Wilde shot Mr. Lopez-Paz in the face, but he survived, hiding in the woods all night until he found help the following morning.<\/li>\n
  • Wilde shot Juarez-Madrid three times and hunted him down, with the final shot a contact wound to the back of Juarez-Madrid\u2019s head.<\/li>\n
  • The third worker, Christopher Bigelow, also fled into the woods and hid until he was found by a jogger the following morning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
