Dothan man convicted of killing his wife will face the death penalty.
The Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals voted unanimously to uphold Bobby Baker Jr.’s capital murder conviction and death sentence for the April 1994 shooting of his wife, Tracy Baker.
Baker, who argued the prosecution should not have played a 911 emergency call during opening arguments, has been convicted of the same crime and sentenced to the same fate twice.
He was originally sentenced in 1995, but an appeals court overturned the decision in 2004, citing hearsay evidence that was presented to jurors during the original trial.
However, a re-trial culminated in 2007 with Baker facing the same sentence. This time, his appeal fell short.
According to Dothan Eagle archive reports, trial testimony indicated Baker abducted his estranged wife from her home on April 10, 1994, forced her into his car, then shot her five times.
Baker also drew attention before his re-trial, when police officers found a hit list in Baker’s cell shortly after his 1995 conviction.
Among the names on the list was Houston County Circuit Judge Lawson Little, who refused to recuse himself from presiding over the trial despite the apparent death threat.

The State’s evidence tended to show the following. On February 24, 1995, Tallapoosa police discovered the charred body of Kimberly Brooks rolled in a carpet; the carpet was lying beside a dirt road in Bibb Town. The coroner testified that Brooks had been shot in the head and the stomach and that there was soot in her lungs and trachea; he testified that she died of the “shots to the head [and] the chest and possible asphyxiation and burning.”
Corey Smith handwrote the following confession for the police:”Kim came to the house around 7:30 a.m. Wednesday morning with Labreasha Main. We was talking about getting married later on. My brother Reginald came and Main left. After awhile, Reginald left. “When my mamma got off work, me and Kim got into an argument about another girl calling me. We went outside. I pulled my gun on her. Sanjay [Brooks] and Shontai [Smith] pulled up. I forced her into the van. I told Sanjay to go to Bibb Town, which he did. And, when we got there, Kim and I got out, continuing arguing. “I told her I love her, and if I couldn’t have her, no one could. She told me she loved me but things weren’t the same. I kissed her on the forehead and pushed her off me and shot her in the chest. And then she fell to the ground, and I shot her again toward her head. “Shontai got out and helped me drag her into the bushes. We left. Sanjay dropped us off into the soft sands. When he returned, we got James Shealey[‘s] car and got some gas and went back where I left her. When we got there, she was standing up, and she got in the car and sat besides me. I was scared. “Sanjay rode from Bibb Town to Reeltown looking for a place to set her on fire and bury her. I asked her what would she say if I took her to the hospital. She say, `I’m going to say Corey shot me.’ We returned back to Bibb Town, and Sanjay drop us offdropped us off. He told us to go ahead and finish her and he’ll be back. “We put a trash bag over her face until she died. I poured the gas on her, and Shontai lit the lighter. Sanjay never returned. “We left there and walked back to my house. Shontai spent the night. The next [day] he left and I never saw him again.”

“ ‘On July 31, 1993, Anthony Boyd, along with Shawn Ingram and Marcel Ackles, were looking for Gregory Huguley, a/k/a “New York,” because Gregory Huguley had gotten cocaine from them several days before and he had failed to pay up. The charge for the cocaine was $200.00. These men were later joined by Quintay Cox, who provided a 9-millimeter Mack 11 automatic pistol. These men continued their search for Gregory Huguley and in the early evening of July 31, 1993, they spotted “New York” on 15th Street in Anniston, Alabama. At this time they were riding in a blue van that Marcel Ackles had rented. The van approached “New York” and then stopped. Shawn Ingram took the Mack 11 automatic pistol and walked over to “New York” and told him to come here. “New York” hesitated and then Shawn grabbed “New York” and pushed him into the van and onto the floor by the first bench seat. After leaving the scene of the abduction, Quintay Cox [was] let out at Cooper Homes and [was] instructed to follow the others. The first stop of the defendant and the participants was at a gasoline station, where Marcel Ackles got out and purchased some gasoline in a plastic container. Then all of the participants, including the defendant and the victim, proceeded to a baseball field in the Munford community in North Talladega County, Alabama. During this trip Gregory Huguley was made to lie down on the floor board of the van by defendant Boyd and co-defendant, Shawn Ingram. He kept saying to his abductors, “Do not kill me. I will get your money.” When the participants arrived at the baseball field between 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., Shawn Ingram made “New York” lie down on a bench. Then Marcel Ackles taped “New York’s” hands and mouth and the defendant, Anthony Boyd, taped his feet, all with duct tape. Then “New York” was taped to the bench. At this time, Shawn Ingram doused gasoline on “New York.” Then he made a two-foot trail of gasoline from the bench where “New York” was lying. Then he lit the trail of gasoline which led to “New York” and caused him to be caught on fire. The defendant and the other participants watched “New York” burn for 10 to 15 minutes until the flame went out. During the burning “New York” rolled over a few feet. Then at this point in time he died as a result of the burning. Then the defendant and Shawn Ingram left in the van and returned to Anniston, and Quintay Cox and Marcel Ackles returned to Anniston in Quintay’s car.

Larry George More News
On Feb. 12, 1988, Larry Donald George walked into his estranged wife’s apartment in Talladega, Ala., with a World War II German Luger.
Within 5 minutes, police say, he had shattered her spine with a single shot – and murdered two of her next-door neighbors.
The Talladega police and the FBI have been looking for him ever since.
One place they traced him to was a railroad trestle in Botetourt County. There, in 1989, George apparently left a collection of belongings that included his wallet, camouflage clothing, camping supplies and an X-rated movie purchased at a video store in Roanoke.
Last week, George’s case was featured on the NBC television show “Unsolved Mysteries.” The show produced dozens of leads, including reports that George may have been in Roanoke or Lynchburg in the past few months.
Investigator Tom Bowerman of the Talladega Police Department said the Virginia leads, like most of the others, are vague enough that it’s likely nothing will come of them.
But he believes someone in the Roanoke Valley – probably in Botetourt – has information that could lead to George’s capture.
“I think there’s someone in that area he knows,” Bowerman said. “They have no idea that he committed that crime.”
The video is one piece of evidence that makes the detective believe there’s a Roanoke Valley connection. “That’s an abnormal item for somebody on the run or who’s camping out to have.” George probably stayed for a while with someone who had a VCR, Bowerman said.
Bowerman said the case is one of just two unsolved killings in Talladega, a city of 17,000 about 50 miles from Birmingham.
He gave this account of the killings:
George had a history of violence against his estranged wife, Geraldine.
That night, he staked out her apartment. She came home, unlocked her apartment and went next door to the home of Janice Morris and Ralph Swain, who were baby-sitting for her. Geraldine George sent her son and daughter home while she chatted with Janice Morris.
When she got back to her apartment, Larry George was inside. She wanted to know what he was doing there. They argued. He whipped out the Luger.
She told her daughter to run upstairs and call for help. As Larry George chased after his daughter, Geraldine George ran next door.
He yanked the phone out of the wall and headed next door after Geraldine. Janice Morris was getting ready to dial the police. George shot her in the chest.
Geraldine curled up behind an armchair to hide. Larry shot her in the side.
Ralph Swain came downstairs. Larry George grabbed him by the shirt and shot him in the back of the head.
Police believe George hid in the woods around town for a week, then caught a ride to Brewton in southern Alabama.
In June 1989, the Botetourt County Sheriff’s Department got a call about a suspicious person near a farm in the Blue Ridge area. Deputies discovered some belongings under a trestle spanning Glade Creek. They found a driver’s license, ran a check on it, and found its owner was wanted on suspicion of capital murder.
The only other confirmed sighting of George was in Wilmington, Del., in June 1990.
Talladega police have posted a $10,000 reward in the case. (Their number is 205-362-4162.)
George, now 37, is 6-foot-2 and at one time weighed about 175 pounds. The name “Trish” was tattooed on his left bicep. He has worked as a truck driver and smokes Newports and Kools.
The FBI says he has been known to frequent palm readers and mystics.
