Bird Rock Bandits Take Plea Deal
Jun 28th, 2008 by Mark
“bird rock bandits” in court
Four of the defendants took a plea deal in the death of surfer Emery Kauanui. They got off lightly in my opinion. Seth Cravens, re-entered his plea of ‘not-guilty’.
Sadly they were not charged as gangsters, even thought they behaved as such
Eric House, 21, Orlando Osuna, 23, and Matthew Yanke, 21, pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and misdemeanor battery. Henri “Hank” Hendricks, 22, pleaded guilty to a felony of being an accessory to the death.
Remaining defendant Seth Cravens, 22, alleged to be the ringleader, re-entered a not-guilty plea after his attorney rejected a plea offer from prosecutors.
