James and Wandry pleaded not guilty to the charges and special allegations Nov. 13.
Wandry”s defense attorney, Stephen Carter said with his client”s charges and record, Wandry”s sentence would exceed 200 years to life. Carter argued that no bail is usually used for more serious cases and that Wandry”s bail should be set at $750,000.
“The intention on the part of the defendants was to kill the victim,” District Attorney Jon Hopkins said.
“Miraculously, he did not die.” Hopkins argued that Wandry should not be allowed bail because of the danger to the victim, that Wandry may “find him and finish the job,” Hopkins said. Martin said given the charges, possible sentencing and that Wandry is “extremely dangerous” to the public, he denied bail.
Hopkins made no offers and the attorneys did not agree to any charges.
Wandry and James are scheduled for a preliminary hearing at 9 a.m. Dec. 4 at the Lake County Superior Court at 255 N. Forbes St. in Lakeport.
