E023847, People v. Marlon Bayliss et al., filed on June 14, 2000, with added information
regarding the current petition:
All further statutory references are to the Penal Code, unless otherwise stated.
2 Sheryl Hilt was Bayliss’s girlfriend. As of November 22, 1996, they had lived
together for six or seven months. On the evening of November 22, 1996, she, Bayliss,
Hampton, Bayliss’s brother Tommy, and Mark Burley were together at Hilt’s and
Bayliss’s house. Sometime during the afternoon or evening, Burley left.
At 10:00 or 11:00 p.m., Hilt overheard a conversation between Bayliss and
Hampton; Tommy Bayliss was present with them, but Tommy did not appear to be taking
part in the discussion. Bayliss and Hampton were talking about doing a “jack move”
(robbery). They talked about using Hampton’s car and robbing a bar.
At 2:00 or 3:00 a.m., on November 23, Hampton and Bayliss left the house
together. Hampton carried a shotgun wrapped in a sheet. Hilt thought they left in
Hampton’s car, because Tommy’s gray car was still parked outside the house.
