Will Bobby Cutts Jr get the death penalty if he is convicted of the murders of Jessie Davis and her unborn child? Authorities arrested the boyfriend of the missing pregnant woman on murder charges Saturday and said they recovered a body believed to be hers. Jessie Davis, 26, has been missing for a week from her home, where her 2-year-old son was found alone.

The boy had a dirty diaper and was surviving on stale bread alone and bedroom furniture toppled and bleach spilled on the floor. Davis’ boyfriend, Bobby Cutts Jr., 30, is to be arraigned Monday in Canton Municipal Court on two counts of murder, including the unborn child, the sheriff’s department said.

So does he deserve the death penalty? Mnay will be pushing for it. Stark County Prosecutor John Ferrero told reporters it was too early to say whether the case warrants the death penalty. "The charges could get elevated to a higher degree down the road."

Stark County Sheriff Tim Swanson told the Akron Beacon Journal that Cutts confessed to being involved in Davis’ death. Swanson also said a second person was involved in Davis’ death.

But investigators had already been digging into Bobby Cutts' past.

He fathered a daughter with model, actress and singer Nikki Giavasis.

In 1998, before he became a policeman, Cutts was found guilty of aggravated trespassing for breaking into Nikki's apartment.

She was quoted at the time as saying "I was very scared for myself and daughter."

In 2003, Cutts was fired from the Canton police force for allegedly giving his gun to a cousin, who had a criminal record.

Later that year, an arbitrator gave Cutts his job back.

Cutts says he is the father of 2-year-old Blake, his first child with Jessie Davis. He was reportedly the father of the baby girl she was supposed to give birth to in days.

Cutts is currently married but is separated from his wife, Kelly.

Cutts also claims his wife knew about the relationship with Jessie.

While Cutts was not named as a suspect until he was arrested, he knew he had been under scrutiny.

"They continue to say I am not (a suspect), but, I mean, I would be dumb and naive to think they weren't treating me as a suspect just (based) on the different things I've had to go through the last couple of days, " Cutts told The Canton Repository.
