Donald Bradley, the defendant, was convicted and sentenced to death for the murder of Jack Jones on 11/07/95.
Linda Jones, wife of the victim, became distressed and infuriated upon learning her husband was having an affair with Carrie Davis, a teenager she had befriended and brought into their home. Linda Jones, after many unsuccessful attempts to break up the affair, propositioned Donald Bradley to intimidate Davis and assault her husband.
At the request of Mrs. Jones, Bradley and three of his employees went to Davis’ apartment on 10/31/95 to retrieve a diamond ring that Mr. Jones had given his young lover. When Davis would not answer the door, Bradley ordered his employees to vandalize the girl’s car.
Mrs. Jones then solicited Bradley to assault Mr. Jones and the two conjured up a plan to make the attack look like a home invasion. Bradley enlisted the help of Brian and Patrick McWhite, two of the employees that had previously helped vandalize Davis’ car.
While picking up the brothers on 11/07/95, Bradley instructed Patrick to get a large “zulu war stick” to use on Mr. Jones during the attack. According to trial testimony, the brothers agreed to help assault Mr. Jones for $100 each, but that Bradley never mentioned killing him.
