    James Milton Dailey - Florida Death Row






    Summary of Offense:

    On May 5, 1985, the victim, 14-year-old Shelly Boggio, her twin sister Stacey, and Stephanie Forsythe were hitchhiking near St. Petersburg when they were picked up by James Dailey, Jack Pearcy, and Dwaine Shaw. The group went to a bar and then to Pearcy’s house, where they met Pearcy’s girlfriend, Gayle Bailey. Stacey and Stephanie returned home, and Shelly, Gayle and the men went to another bar and returned to Pearcy’s house around midnight. Shelly, Dailey, and Pearcy left in a car. When the two men returned later, without Shelly, Dailey was wearing wet pants and carrying a bundle. The next morning, Dailey and Pearcy went to a laundromat and told Gayle to pack because they were going to Miami. That morning, Shelly’s nude body was found floating in the water near Indian Rocks Beach. She had been stabbed, strangled, and drowned.

    Dailey was resentenced to death in Pinellas County on January 21, 1994.

    Co-defendant information:
    Pearcy and Dailey were tried separately for the crime. Pearcy was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life imprisonment.

    Wow, DeSantis just pulled a swift one on everybody on this site. Really thought Rogers would be next.

    Wow, I literally checked the FSC right before the date was posted.

    In addition to being the 100th modern execution in Florida, Dailey will be the oldest death row inmate executed in Florida.
    Don't ask questions, just consume product and then get excited for next products.

    Florida man on death row gets execution date in 1985 murder of 14-year-old girl

    By Jim Saunders
    Palm Beach Post

    TALLAHASSEE — More than 34 years after the nude body of a 14-year-old girl was found in Pinellas County, Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday signed a death warrant for convicted murderer James Dailey.

    DeSantis scheduled a Nov. 7 execution for Dailey, who would be the third inmate put to death since DeSantis took office in January. The others were Gary Ray Bowles, who was executed in August for a 1994 murder in Jacksonville, and Bobby Joe Long, who was executed in May for a 1984 murder in Hillsborough County.

    Dailey, now 73, was convicted in the May 1985 murder of 14-year-old Shelly Boggio, who had been hitchhiking with her twin sister near St. Petersburg, according to a summary of the case released Wednesday night by DeSantis’ office. Dailey and another man,

    Jack Pearcy, later took Boggio to what was described as a “deserted fishing area,” where her body was later found with multiple stab wounds, according to the summary and court documents.

    Pearcy, now 64, was sentenced to life in prison for the murder, while Dailey received the death penalty.

    In releasing the death warrant, DeSantis’ office included a 1994 resentencing order that provided grisly details about Boggio’s death. It said the motive in the crime was sexual battery.

    “The victim’s body was found completely nude, floating in the Intercoastal Waterway,” said the resentencing order by Circuit Judge Thomas E. Penick Jr. “Her underwear was found on shore near areas of fresh blood. Shelly Boggio’s jeans had been removed and thrown in the waterway. Potential physical evidence of an actual sexual battery upon Shelly Boggio was lost because her body had been floating in the waterway for an extended period of time. All of the evidence and testimony presented established beyond a reasonable doubt that Shelly Boggio at the very least was a victim of an attempted sexual battery.”

    The judge also wrote that the victim was “brutally stabbed as she fought frantically and continuously for her life” and that she had been dragged into the waterway and held under water until she drowned.

    State and federal courts have turned down a series of appeals filed by Dailey since at least 1995, according to the death warrant.

    The other executions ordered this year by DeSantis involved inmates who committed multiple murders.

    Bowles, 57, was sentenced to death for the murder of Walter Hinton, who was found dead in 1994 in his Jacksonville mobile home. Bowles also was serving life sentences for the 1994 murders of John Roberts in Volusia County and Albert Morris in Nassau County.

    In addition, Bowles confessed to murdering men in Georgia and Maryland, with evidence suggesting he targeted gay men.

    Long, 65, was sentenced to death in the 1984 murder of Michelle Simms after picking her up on Kennedy Boulevard in Tampa. In 1985, Long also pleaded guilty to seven additional first-degree murder charges and numerous charges for sexual batteries and kidnappings in the Tampa Bay region.

    "There is a point in the history of a society when it becomes so pathologically soft and tender that among other things it sides even with those who harm it, criminals, and does this quite seriously and honestly. Punishing somehow seems unfair to it, and it is certain that imagining ‘punishment’ and ‘being supposed to punish’ hurts it, arouses fear in it." Friedrich Nietzsche
