| Barry Sadler Mug Shot. In December 1978 Sadler was having a affair with Darlene Sharpe. She was the former girlfriend of country singer and songwriter Lee Emerson Bellamy. Bellamy was an ex-con who at one time managed the careers of both George Jones and Marty Robbins.
According to court records Bellamy had harassed both Sharpe and Sadler, and had a violent confrontation with the two of them in a Nashville parking lot, during which he threatened their lives.
One night Bellamy made several harassing phone calls, including one to the restaurant where Sadler and Sharpe were having dinner with friends. Sadler called the police, who did nothing. The couple then went to Darlene’s apartment. Bellamy also showed up there. Sadler slipped out a side door. When Bellamy saw him he retreated to his van. Sadler would latter testify that he saw a flash of metal, which he took to be a gun. From forty feet away, with only a single streetlight for illumination he shot Bellamy right between the eyes. To make matters worse, according to court records, Sadler then planted a gun in Bellamy’s van.
Sadler was charged with second-degree murder, but a plea deal reduced it to voluntary manslaughter. He was initially sentenced to four to five years in prison. Sadler's lawyer managed to get the sentence reduced to 30 days in the country workhouse, of which he ended up serving 28. The district attorney didn't push it because he didn't think he could get a jury to convict a war hero. |
