row in the state of California..
Crime
After being fired as a teacher's aide
for inappropriate behavior with children, Smith sought retaliation by
killing an 8-year-old boy, Paul Bailly and leaving his body in the woods, where he
started a fire.
His behavior as a teacher’s aide was inappropriate; he would play with
the children as if he were a child, but would get too rough. Defendant was
particularly mean to eight-year-old Paul Bailly, a student at Darby Elementary
School. On two occasions he tied Paul up with jump ropes. Once Paul asked the
school’s daycare director to fire defendant. Defendant overheard the request, and
said he was going to “get [Paul] back.
About 6:30 a.m. on March 23, 1990, Mary Bailly, Paul’s mother, dropped
him off at Darby Elementary School. At 11:50 a.m., Captain Fred Baugher of the
Ventura County Fire Department responded to a fire in the Black Canyon area
near Simi Valley and discovered Paul’s body in the fire. Paul had been gagged
with a cloth gag and duct tape. A set of handcuffs was found at the scene.
According to supervising investigator James Allen, the burn pattern on the ground
and the condition of the body showed that someone had poured fire accelerant on
the corpse and set it on fire
the corpse and set it on fire
