    Bobby Baker, Jr. - Alabama Death Row




    Summary of Offense:

    Baker was convicted and sentenced to death in the 1994 murder of his estranged wife, Tracy.

    During a ride together, Baker told Tracy that he was going to kill everyone who ever had anything to do with her. He also stated that all he wanted to do was to talk to her. When the car stopped on Enterprise Street, Baker got out of the car holding the rifle. He ordered Tracy to get out of the car but she refused stating that she knew he was going to kill her. Tracy Baker asked Eady several times to drive off while Baker was outside of the vehicle but he did not do so. When Tracy continued to refuse to exit the vehicle, he pointed the rifle into the car towards Tracy Baker and began firing. The autopsy report reveals that Tracy Baker was hit five times with bullets from the AK-47 assault rifle that Baker was firing in her direction.

    Baker was sentenced to death on November 7, 1995.

    In today's United States Supreme Court orders, Baker's petition for writ of certiorari, on appeal from the Alabama Supreme Court, was DENIED.

    Court won't hear Ala. death row appeal

    The Supreme Court won't hear an appeal from a convicted murderer who kidnapped and fatally shot his estranged wife in 1994.

    The high court on Monday refused to hear an appeal from Bobby Baker Jr., who is on death row in Alabama. He was accused of kidnapping and shooting Tracy Baker four times while she sat in the back seat of his car in April 1994.

    He has had his death sentence overturned once by the courts before being sentenced to death for a second time. Baker wanted the Supreme Court to rule on whether the aggravating circumstances that were used to decide to seek the death penalty were unconstitutionally vague.
