Holy Shit
FILE—Melvin Walker, left, Sidney Dorsey, center, and Daniel Isaiah Ramsey, right, are shown in these undated DeKalb County (Ga.) Sheriff’s Department photos. Former DeKalb County (Ga.) Sheriff Sidney Dorsey, center, is one of three men charged with murdering Sheriff-elect Derwin Brown days before Brown was to take office. Also charged were former sheriff’s Deputy Melvin Walker, left, of Conyers and Daniel Isaiah Ramsey, right, whom Dorsey tried to recruit as a sheriff’s deputy. Brown, 46, had defeatedDorsey in a bitter runoff election. (AP Photo/DeKalb County Sheriff’s Dept., File)
Of course, this comes after his wife was defeated soundly in the District 5 City Council election. Additionally, there were numerous reports of Sidney Dorsey’s blatant disgregard for laws as he refused to stop campaigning for his wife’s reelection too near a polling place. Also, he drove around pulling up her opponents campaign signs. Unbelievable stuff here in the ATL.
Holy Shit!

one of the most entertaining aspects of this sordid and sad episode is the commentary from the defendant’s attorneys. These are sort of like our local Jr. Johnnie Cochrans. but-the motive was there. this idiot dorsey mis-managed a $50M budget for the Dekalb jail and was about to have his ass investigated, serious-like.

But tell me…it’s not like people were in a collective coma…people in the Metro area have known for years the behavior of Dorsey/wife Dorsey/etc…so why was his behavior allowed to continue for so long?? something is wrong here..stinks…there are officials and others that could have raised the issues…but is it because of racial politics that Dorseys were allowed to function in such ways for so long??Georgia stinks when it comes to corruption…like a sewer..there were private citizens threatened by both Dorseys…yet nothing was done…by either council persons (emmons one of them) or other elected officials….why?

Only the citizens of Dekalb are at a disadvantage when folk start to speculate about outrageous conduct that they know nothing about. Remember, the ability to murder is something that only God truly understands
