Michael Gertson accepted a plea bargain, pleaded guilty on August 12 to manslaughter in the death of Jesse Hayes, and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Hayes was beaten to death at a house in Coos Bay and his body was found covered with trash outside a Coos Bay warehouse four days later. The victim's family is unhappy with the 10-year sentence, believing it is not long enough. The two other defendants in the case, George Ivanoff and Jesse Longhenry, remain in jail awaiting trial early next year.
