People v. Hanley CA1/4

BACKGROUND

I. Prosecution Evidence

A. Background In September 2003, Hanley began living at Crossroads, a residential placement facility in San Francisco designed to help young adults with mental health issues transition to independent living. For the most part, Hanley followed the program rules and he appeared to get along with residents and staff. In February 2004, however, Hanley told Crossroads program director, Maria F., that he wanted to move out because he was afraid of another resident named Ivan R. Hanley reported that Ivan was in a gang and that he extorted $100 from Hanley by threatening to kill him. Ivan denied Hanley’s accusation, claiming that Hanley owed him $100 because he bought Ivan’s jacket but failed to pay for it. Nevertheless, Hanley said he wanted to move back home with his mother, Ann Outin. During most of February and March 2004, Hanley did not reside at Crossroads.1 For some part of that time, Hanley had parties at Outin’s house while she was on vacation in Europe. When Outin returned, she was upset with Hanley because of the parties and because her house had been damaged. On April 5, Hanley moved back into the Crossroads facility.
