Thirty-five year old David Bailey was gunned down outside a nightclub in Princeton, West Virginia on Dec 8th, 2013. His killer was an employee of the nightclub and admitted to police that he knew David was unarmed at the time of the shooting. He also admitted that he left the nightclub, went to his car to retrieve the firearm and returned to the club. David was shot a total of five times as the killer emptied his revolver, three times in the chest and as David turned to run away, two more shots were fired into his back. He was arraigned on a first degree murder charge with a possible penalty of life in prison and yet the judge set a of bond of $50,000.00 allowing the shooter to be released by paying only $5000.00. He was ordered to home confinement with privileges to continue working, simply because the man had no prior record.
David Bailey leaves behind a seven year old son Austin who is heartbroken and lost without his father, They meant the world to each other. David also coached and refereed many youth league football, basketball and baseball teams throughout Bluefield, Virginia. David was seen as a mentor to many of the children he coached, he had an infectious smile and was a friend to everyone he met. David also leaves behind his mother, Dawn Ann and three sisters, Jinger, Natalie and Leslie, as well as many special family and friends.

The perp KNEW David was unarmed. Shot him in the back like a coward, and gets to go home and spend the Holidays with family like it never happened. Meanwhile a 7 year old boy will never see his father again and the killer is home. I have NO faith in our judicial system after this.
One's prior criminal record, or lack thereof, is not the only factor a court should look at in determining bond. The details of this crime show clear premeditation. Bond should have been denied when he admitted shooting an unarmed man 5 times. No wonder so many people have such a poor opinion of our legal system.
David was a classmate of mine. He was the most generous and thoughtful person you would meet. His life was cut way too short by a senseless and selfish act. Please sign the petition so we can get justice for David.
he should be put under the jail!...he admitted to retrieving the weapon from his car and knowing the victim was unarmed and he unloaded the gun on him while he ran away...and then left the scene of the crime which i thought was illegal and get a low bond for cooperating. why is he at home with his family!?!
I can not comprehend how someone can murder an unarmed man in cold blood because he had no priors?! Is there a certain number of lives you must take before it counts?!
i hope they over turn and give him life

Prior record or not there has to be a thought of public danger to allow a man who stated he shot a man he knew was unarmed in the chest and the back. You can't claim self defense if you leave and come back that is premeditated murder.
