Bailey Sentenced to Death for murder of Kevin Kight

Circuit Court Judge Michael Overstreet sentenced Robert Bailey to death for the Easter Sunday, 2005, murder of Panama City Beach Police Department Sergeant Kevin Kight. A Bay County jury had earlier recommended, by a vote of 11-1, that Bailey die for his crime.

“Judge Overstreet did a wonderful job and presented a remarkably clear sentencing order,” said State Attorney Steve Meadows. “He fully considered all evidence presented, all aggravation and mitigation, and handed down the sentence that the community demanded.”
