Jesse J. Hartley, 19, of Mountain View, has been convicted of murder in the first degree in the death of 2-year-old Brandon Green on May 1, 2018.
Hartley was charged with the crimes last May after the child’s death, which Hartley initially claimed occurred after the child was found face down in a bathtub.
On that May afternoon, Hartley was alone with the victim in their Mountain View home, while Shannon Sherman (the child’s mother and Hartley’s girlfriend at the time) was in Evanston with a friend. Sherman received a call from Hartley shortly after 2 p.m., during which he told her he had left the child unattended in the bathtub for approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute and returned to find him face down and unresponsive. Hartley informed her he had the boy in their vehicle and was headed to Evanston Regional Hospital.
Sherman went directly to ERH and notified staff there, who contacted dispatch to send an ambulance to rendezvous with Hartley. Uinta County Sheriff’s Deputy Andy Kopp met Hartley at exit 18, the Kemmerer exit, and began CPR on the child. Shortly thereafter, an ambulance arrived and transported Green to ERH, where he was pronounced dead just after 3 p.m.
The Wyoming Supreme Court has affirmed the life-in-prison sentence of Jesse J. Hartley, who was convicted in 2019 for the murder of 2-year-old Brandon Green. Since his conviction, Hartley has twice appealed to the Wyoming Supreme Court seeking relief.
