October 25, 2024 - Florida. Robert J. Bailey sentenced to death for the 2nd time
After a first 2007 death sentence
A Bay County jury voted 9 to 3 that Robert J. Bailey should be sentenced to death.”
Nearly 20 years after he was sentenced to death for the murder of Police Sergeant Kevin Kight, 42-year-old Robert Bailey, White, was sent back to death row by the recommendation of another Bay County jury.
Bailey received the resentencing after a 2016 U.S. Supreme Court ruling said death penalty cases had to be a unanimous jury verdict. After he was granted the resentencing, the law changed again in April of 2023, requiring at least an 8 to 4 vote for the death penalty. Bailey will be sentenced in November.
