Haynes killed Vasudevbhal Barot at the Quality Inn off Dix Ellis Trail in April 2011. The victim lived and worked at the hotel.
Haynes and his co-defendant Craig Roback went to Barot's hotel room, tied him up, and then beat him. The murder was the result of a plan to rob Barot's of his money.
Haynes is one of five people arrested in the case. Roback was convicted on the same charges in May. Three other co-defendants –- Mindy Lethco, Beau Graham and Jennifer Henn -- pleaded guilty to a charge of second-degree murder and armed robbery.
