Suspect faces trial in debit card theft and stabbing case
Graham and Wayne Hartley are jailed on $1 million bonds each after a brutal home invasion in which an 81 year old woman, Patricia Hartley, was stabbed and robbed of a debit card and cash. Investigators say the pair, addicted to dilaudids, discussed the crime two days earlier and fled with $430 after a drug buy. Graham signed a Miranda waiver and confessed, describing the attack and the moral struggle during withdrawal. Separate trial motions were heard as the defense seeks a split proceeding.
