There's not much out there regarding Bailey's birthdate, but this article from CNN published in 1996 suggests it's 1947. If anyone can find something more definitive saying he was born in 1946, please change it back. justsomechick· chat· stuff 21:48, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

Is it just me or does this go into, at times, almost lurid detail? Besides the question of "Do we really need to know?", I'd like to know exactly HOW whoever added that knew that. Comments? 68.39.174.238 00:41, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
I agree. Who needs to know how many times his body rotated? Come on. 09:40, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
The extended quote, presumably by the somewhat deranged sounding great-grandson, also seems a bit unneccesary. and completely bizarre.

I became suspicious after reading the line "six coil noose swaying in the night breeze". To me that sounds more like a piece of literary journalism rather than an encyclopedic entry. After entering the whole line in quotation marks on Google, the above listed web page comes up. It seems that the whole section on execution in this article was stolen from the above website.
In what year did the crimes occur? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 15.251.169.70 ( talk) 18:15, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
