Senator Randall Bailey is a former congressman and the patriarch of his family, a horrid domestic abuser, and later a murderer.
History[]
Bailey’s family was mired with domestic violence, substance dependency, and scandal all around. Bailey and his wife Nicole regularly beat each other and their children Trina and Chaz, Bailey raped Trina and pimped her out to his friends starting when she was 12, and Trina would brutalize Chaz, as badly as burning him with a lit cigarette once. Bailey collected guns, knives, and limited-edition crime novels, Nicole would drink and have numerous affairs even after their divorce, and Trina was given alcohol when she was 10, escalating to a cocaine addiction, bar fights, a vehicular assault attempt on her former boyfriend, and two attacks on police. Trina married Jim Kirkpatrick, yet another violent and irascible abuser. Chaz suffered heroin addictions, and when rehabs didn’t work and Chaz kept disappearing to the streets and returning, the Baileys would shackle him during detoxes. Bailey and Nicole had a messy divorce over their arguments of settlement, and Trina would always insist on better alimony support.
It all came to a head when Nicole deliberately got herself photographed at a park conservation event, flirting with Kirkpatrick. Provoked, Trina had phone arguments back and forth with her parents, and she revealed she had diaries of the pain she suffered throughout her life and was ready to publish a book. Confronting Nicole at her place, Trina eventually ended a fight of screaming and bottle-throwing with beating Nicole to death with a fire poker, then raping her by forcing a spoon to stay stuck in her vaginal cavity. Bailey’s “family man” image tumbled down when a fight between him, Trina, and Kirkpatrick resulted in Bailey pulling a gun and shooting Kirkpatrick to wound him, along with Chaz being found cuffed to a radiator during a methadone detox. Cassidy egged him on to get him to show his true self in interrogation, resulting in Bailey throwing furniture and being ready to throw punches before he was restrained.
The entire family got released again, only for Bailey to violently stab Trina thirteen times with one of his knives. When Cassidy walked in before Green, she saw Bailey jab his stomach to leave flesh wounds, switching between self-defense arguments and raging about Trina killing Nicole before he was arrested. Chaz was to testify about the family’s instability, but he overdosed and was sent to Switzerland for rehab to eliminate his testimony. Using the showy and farcical surrogates court judge Barry Dilwynn presiding over the trial to his advantage, he appealed to Dilwyn’s need for publicity to make the motions and speedy trial go in favor of the “family man”. Cassidy testified she had enough restrained to be truthful, as she chose to arrest Bailey instead of shooting him. Dr. Elizabeth Rodgers testified Bailey’s frame job came from one of his crime books, but she wrote a letter to the judge admitting she realized to late she referenced the wrong one. Rubirosa conducted the summation amidst the whole mess, emphatically stating Bailey’s deep, violent stabs of Trina were angry and vengeful, compared to his flesh wounds.
In the end, Bailey was found guilty of murder, angrily shouting Dilwyn he’d get him booted. Bailey was later imprisoned for life for his crimes, (L&O: “The Family Hour”)
