His death warrant has already been issued. He is scheduled for execution sometime between now and the 9th.

On June 6, 1991 he killed a woman, in front of her minor kids, during a mall parking lot hold-up. Baker then escaped in a Blazer. Although some DUers claim he is innocent as part of their efforts to fight his DP, here are the facts:

There were two competent eyewitness. One a child and one adult.

He was caught within MINUTES of the murder.

Baker had the victim's blood on him.

The woman's MOST card was in the Blazer.

The murder gun was in the Blazer.

Baker's palm prints were on the gun.

Baker's fingerprints were also on the driver's side of the victims car, next to where she was shot.

Yet, some people here try to claim he didn't do it.

1. It's one thing to fight the DP, but another to . . .

claim someone is innocent when the facts scream otherwise.

2. Well said

3. Well, I don't support the DP, but this guy IMHO is definitely guilty.

I can only have so much sympathy for cold blooded murderers ya know?

4. Must of missed

The Baker one because all I've seen is Tookie Williams


I'm against the Death Penalty as I've stated in several of the Tookie Williams thread. . and as far as Baker goes I wish he had gotten commuted to life . . . but I'm not going to try to proclaim his innocent when the evidence definitely deems otherwise.

5. I respect the principled anti-DP folks, even as I disagree with them.

I just don't respect the ones that try to claim innocence for even the most obvious ones.
