The Newport Beach pot grower had already been convicted and sentenced to life in prison for other crimes.
. An intense week-long manhunt ended with Nayeri and his two accused fellow escapees back in custody.
Nayeri now faces up to an additional two years and eight months in prison when he returns to court for sentencing on March 24.

“Mr. Nayeri, in my personal opinion, is one of America’s most dangerous criminals,” Spitzer said. “He is conniving, he is manipulative, and he is a mastermind. He knows how to get into people’s heads.” Once in custody at the Men’s Central Jail in Santa Ana, Nayeri teamed up with other inmates — including his eventual fellow escapeesand Jonathan Tieu — to carry out a daring jailbreak. Much of the preparation and eventual escape was filmed by Nayeri on a smuggled cell phone.
Prosecutors alleged that Nayeri and the other escapees were initially picked up by a friend of Duong’s before they got ahold of, an independent taxi drive who testified to driving them to Rosemead, where he has said they pulled a gun on him. “ is constantly thinking about what the plan is and what is next, because he does not want to get caught,” McMurrin told jurors. “It wasn’t just about getting out. They needed to stay out. And they were going to do whatever they needed to stay out.”
