Bradley Martin

Victim

Guy Goodman, 74.

On September 15, 1993, Martin, who was serving a sentence at the Lebanon County Correctional Facility
as the result of a parole violation, obtained a two-hour visitation pass and left the prison. He met King,
with whom he was romantically involved, and failed to return to prison as required.  

Instead, the two traveled to Palmyra, Pennsylvania, where they called upon Guy Goodman, with whom
Martin was acquainted. Mr. Goodman, who was seventy-four years old, had written, telephoned and
visited Martin in prison, identifying himself as Martin's friend.

At some point, Martin and King had decided to obtain money from Mr. Goodman, and apparently they
were prepared to use force. Soon after their arrival at Goodman's home, Martin hit Goodman over the
head with a vase from the hallway, and the pair then bound Goodman's wrists, ankles and neck in
such a manner that he could not extricate himself.  

They then wrapped a bathrobe around Goodman's head, placed a plastic bag over it, sealed the bag with
duct tape, and wrapped a bedspread over the bag. Finally, they carried Goodman into the basement,
tying him more securely and leaving him to suffocate.

Martin and King then stole Mr. Goodman's checkbook and credit card and drove away in his car.
