Facts of the Crime:
On November 15, 1993, Bays murdered 76-year-old wheelchair-bound Charles Weaver in Xenia. After smoking crack cocaine, Bays went to Mr. Weaver's house to borrow money. When Mr. Weaver told Bays that he did not have any money, Bays beat him with a battery charger and a portable tape recorder and then stabbed him several times with a kitchen knife. Bays then took Mr. Weaver's wallet containing $25 cash and $9 worth of food stamps. Bays confessed to Xenia police and discussed the crime with another inmate while in county jail.
