[WATCH: The Hit: The Assassination of Derwin Brown]
rCLI want someone to say, rCySidney, you are a murderer. You are
accountable, yourCOre responsible.rCO ThatrCOs what I want,rCY he says. rCLWhen all this is over and said and done, I want someone to look over here
because, see, I havenrCOt totally reconciled the fact that Sidney, you
are a murderer.rCY
The recording took place at Georgia State Prison in July 2007. It
indicates there was an interview of Dorsey with then-DeKalb County
District Attorney Gwen Keyes Fleming and others.
rCLSo yourCOre telling Patrick Cuffy to kill Derwin Brown?rCY Dorsey is asked. rCLYeah...in other words. I didnrCOt say rCykill him.rCO I used the word assassinate. But I didnrCOt, IrCOm not trying to get out of anything. IrCOm just trying to tell you the truth,rCY he replied.
Former DeKalb County District Attorney J. Tom Morgan, who led the
prosecution, says Cuffy coordinated the Brown murder and later got
immunity and testified against Dorsey.
In the recording, Dorsey seems to suggest there had been fallout linked
to a sexual harassment lawsuit shortly before the election, in
connection with a woman with whom he had an affair.
rCLIt had all but destroyed my marriage, so I saw Cuffy, and I wrote a
little note I was trying to spell assassinate, but I couldnrCOt spell
it,rCY Dorsey said.
He goes on to suggest he had a change of heart.
rCLI was not angry anymore, I had kind of settled down... I said, rCyJust,
you know, forget that,rCOrCY he claims.
Morgan says he will never believe that Dorsey tried to call off the assassination.
Dorsey also claims there was never a hit list that included Morgan and
former Channel 2 Action News reporter Dale Cardwell. But Morgan says
Cuffy admitted to him that there was a hit list.
