Edricus Jumario Mayfield, 19, made one request to courthouse deputies while sitting in handcuffs next to his attorney after Judge Clint Bearden read an all-guilty verdict against him on Thursday, May 16.“I just want to hug my mom,” Mayfield said. Instead, deputies kept Mayfield at the defense table as they proceeded with sentencing. Mayfield, 19, was convicted on all charges in the case of a woman sexually assaulted June 30, 2016 in her Gainesville home.
