assassinated? brown had been preparing to shake things up at the jail, secretly meeting with the district attorney swapping stories about corruption by outgoing sheriff, sidney dorsey. i just had dinner with derwin a week before he was murdered, and then to see him later in the morgue right before the autopsy started was one of those images i will never forget. the killing of derwin brown just made no sense at all. the only real enemy he had was sid dorsey. but it didn t make sense that dorsey would have been behind it because dorsey didn t have anything to gain. he had already lost the election. i sympathize in saying that with the his family, with the law enforcement community which i m a member of, you get the same feeling when you lose a brother in blue, be it that he was a political adversary or not. derwin s own family was
rat-infested house where she said dorsey forced her to have sex with him. that was a price to pay. okay. and then what happened, please? then he just started, you know, having sexual intercourse to me. she says dorsey also confided something in here. he was saying, derwin won t be there, like i was like, oh. he was going he was saying, derwin would not make it to the to take office. and a parade of dorsey s former employees testified they were ordered to chauffeur dorsey s children. it came from the sheriff. i felt like, you know, he should he should know better and know more than anybody, you know, whether it would be right or wrong. how do you feel about the way the proceedings are going? i don t know. i ve never been in this position before. corruption testimony ended.
i m mara sciavacampo. here s what s happening. john boehner will tell republican lawmakers in a conference call there s no deal on a plan yet to raise the debt ceiling. boehner had been hoping to announce the framework for the deal before the asian financial markets open in a few hours. according to the lundberg survey, the price of gas jumped nine cents in the past two weeks to there a$3.70 a gallon. now back to who shot the sheriff. the investigation into the shooting of derwin brown on december 15th, 2000, was dead in the water for nearly a year. and now a stunning turn of events. outgoing sheriff sidney dorsey was arrested and charged with
cuffy had be ex-sheriff dorsey s right-hand man and worked in dorsey s private security firm and he was one of the deputies that derwin brown planned to fire. police had been watching cuffy for months. cuffy was, himself, kind of like a mini cult leader within the sheriffs office. when the police were able to fixate on cuffy, that led to them being able to see if they could solve the derwin brown assassination by making cuffy uncomfortable. the bond between cuffy and dorsey was very, very, very strong. cuffy describes it as a father/son relationship and that they would do anything for him, including commit murder. cuffy steadfastly said, i didn t have anything to do with it. sid dorsey didn t have anything to do with it. now, the irony of all of this is that there s a shootout at cuffy s house and cuffy is being prosecuted for something totally
assassinate sheriff elect, derwin brown. apparently, i guess, the only thing to say is he had the same he had the same evil within in his heart as i did. dorsey told the prosecutor that cuffy replied, quote, we are way ahead of you, and ate the note. he thinks he made a mistake and wanted someone to say whether his mistake made him a murderer. to me that s not really a confession. it s not the bearing of the soul. it s, well, i did have something to do with it but not really as much as i really want to admit to. attorneys say dorsey s confession does nothing to reduce his life sentence. meanwhile, walker and ramsey plan to ae pile their life sentences to the u.s. supreme court. some members of the brown family are satisfied, even though they called this partial justice. three out of five, i ll take it.
