Description JURY COMES BACK WITH VERDICT IN SIDNEY DORSEY TRIAL ... HE'S THE FORMER DEKALB COUNTY SHERIFF ACCUSED OF PLOTTING TO KILL HIS SUCCESSOR.
Script LEAD: DERWIN BROWN BEAT SIDNEY DORSEY IN A BITTER RUNOFF ELECTION NEARLY TWO YEARS AGO, BUT WAS GUNNED DOWN JUST DAYS BEFORE HE WAS TO BE SWORN IN. AND NOW DORSEY STANDS CONVICTED OF ARRANGING THE KILLING. AUNGELIQUE PROCTOR HAS BEEN TRACKING THIS CASE SINCE THE MURDER 18 MONTHS AGO ... SHE HAS MORE FROM ALBANY, GEORGIA. SCRIPT: (NATS) THEY WERE THE WORDS PHYLLIS BROWN WAITED A YEAR AND A HALF TO HEAR. SIDNEY DORSEY GUILTY ON 12 OF 15 CHARGES ... INCLUDING MURDER. (SOT - BROWN "As soon as I found out I knew Sidney had something to do with it. Because there was in my mind no one else who had a reason to want him dead.") THE COMPLEX CASE WAS THE BIGGEST IN DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S JAY TOM MORGAN'S CAREER ... (SOT - MORGAN "It's not for me, it's for the team. We put together a team of the best prosecutors of the state and then bringing in a private attorney as well, it is a victory for the team, not for me.") AN EMOTIONLESS SHERRY DORSEY LEFT THE COURTHOUSE WITHOUT SAYING A WORD ... THE DEFENSE PROMISES AN APPEAL. (SOT - STEELE "Shocked, no idea. Sidney's heart is very heavy for the loss and now the unfortunate appeal.")
