Al Lamont Daniels, 26, Brian Keith Yancy, 27, and 24-year-old Mario Roshun Vital remained in the Jackson County Jail. Scheduled to run Tuesday through Thursday, their trial was postponed because attorneys were not prepared. Yancy, of Ashland, and Vital, of Oakland, Calif., are accused of entering a Talent home on Wagner Creek Road on June 22, beating the male resident with a tree branch and stealing a safe. They tied up the man and his girlfriend and fired two shots inside the home with a handgun before leaving, investigators said. The two have pleaded not guilty to charges of attempted aggravated murder, first-degree robbery, assault and burglary, second-degree theft, fourth-degree assault and two counts each of first- degree kidnapping and menacing. Daniels, of Ashland, is suspected of luring the male victim’s father away from the property to help him fill a car with gas, investigators said. After driving off in a gold Mercury Sable, Daniels returned to pick up Vital and Yancy, investigators added. He faces charges of first-degree robbery, first-degree burglary and second-degree theft. If convicted of attempted aggravated murder, Yancy and Vital will spend a minimum of 10 years in prison. The robbery, assault or kidnapping charges carry prison terms of seven years and six months under Oregon’s mandatory sentencing law.
