Ramsey pleads to murder in shooting of Tracy Bagwell
by CHARLES WHISENANT, The Arab Tribune
In a plea bargain that was initiated by the defense, Perry Patrick Ramsey pleaded guilty Wednesday to the 2001 murder of Tracy Bagwell of Scant City. Marshall County Circuit Judge David Evans immediately sentenced Ramsey to life in prison with the possibility of parole.

Ramsey had been charged with committing murder during a burglary, a capital offense.

Marshall County District Attorney Steve Marshall said he is relieved that the case is over. Ramsey's trial had been scheduled to begin Nov. 17. He claimed that he was not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect.

Bagwell's family was consulted and had input on the decision to accept Ramsey's plea. Two mental health experts, one hired by the court and one by the D.A.'s office, had said that Ramsey did not know right from wrong when he shot Bagwell to death in November 2001.

"The mental health defense applied in this case," Marshal said. "The experts said he didn't understand what he was doing was wrong, and we would have had to overcome that (at trial). (Ramsey) could have been sent to the department of mental health and at some point been released if he'd been found not guilty because of mental disease.

"We felt more confident of being able to keep him confined in the penitentiary system than in the mental health department," he continued. "If the jury had believed the experts, that's where he would have gone."

Marshall said he discussed all aspects of the case with the Bagwell family and that they understood the sentence.

"I guess if the family has a question, it would be why this happened," Marshall said. "I don't know that we'll every know why it happened, but we'll do what we can to fight any attempts of parole."

Ramsey is eligible for parole after 10 years, and he's already served five in the county jail.

With his plea and sentence, Ramsey became a state inmate and should be transferred to Kilby Prison within 30 days.

"From there, the prison system will determine where he spends his time," Marshall said.

Members of Bagwell's family and members of Ramsey's family were in the courtroom when the plea agreement was presented to Evans.

The judge asked Ramsey's parents if they thought he understood what the plea agreement meant. They answered that he did.

While the mental health experts said Ramsey didn't know right or wrong at the time of the murder, he was deemed competent to stand trial.

In November 2001, Ramsey, 30, walked into Bagwell's Rolling Hills Drive residence near Scant City and shot him at least five times with a high-powered.223 deer rifle.

According to police, Bagwell's son witnessed the shooting and called for help.

Ramsey drove his own car to Scant City, parked it behind a service station then walked to Bagwell's residence.

Police said the shooting happened about 2:30 a.m. Afterward, Ramsey took Bagwell's 1998 Nissan Altima, drove it to the service station then drove his own car to his parents' house on Fry Gap Road, where police arrested him about 6 a.m.

Bagwell's car was found later behind the service station in Scant City.

Bagwell and Ramsey were friends, police said. They served together in Company A of the 279th Signal Battalion of the Alabama National Guard in Arab.2


He was buried at Arab Memorial Cemetery, Arab, Marshall County, Alabama.2
