I've not seen this here before. I did a search but couldn't find anything. HeyJealousy should like this one.....


The xray is of Cecil Dotson Jr who survived....

On March 3, 2008, a horrific scene was discovered in the Binghampton neighborhood of Memphis, Tennessee. After receiving a phone call from a concerned relative, Memphis Police officers entered a home at 722 Lester Street to check on its occupants. What they found was shocking, even to seasoned officers. The bodies of six people, ranging in age from 2 to 33, were scattered throughout the house. In addition, three other children were found seriously injured.

The murder victims were soon to be identified as:

Cecil Dotson, age 30
Cecil Dotson II, age 2
Cemario Dotson, age 4
Shindri Roberson, age 22
Hollis Seals, age 33
Marissa Williams, age 27
The injured were identified as:

Cecil Dotson, Jr., age 9
Cedric Dotson, age 5
Ceniyah Dotson, age 4 months
Although it took some time to sort out, autopsy reports eventually showed that the adult victims were shot multiple times while the children were stabbed multiple times and suffered blunt force trauma to the head. The surviving victims also bore stab wounds, one of whom was found with a knife still stuck in his head.

As the community reeled from the shock of the discovery, rumors began running rampant regarding the possible motivation and perpetrator of such a crime. For several days, the general consensus was that the murders must have been gang-related. After all, who else would stoop to such brutality?

With this line of reasoning in mind, it was particularly disturbing when police announced just days after the murders that they had arrested and charged Jessie Dotson, age 33 with the crime.

Jessie Dotson was the older brother of victim Cecil Dotson. Jessie was also the uncle of all five of the children involved. According to an account by one of the surviving victims of the massacre and a confession by Dotson, himself, Jessie shot Cecil during an argument. He then attempted to kill everyone else in the house to eliminate any witnesses.

The investigation of the Lester Street murders was featured on the A&E show, The First 48. Dotson's confession was also aired during this episode.The murder was covered by the national media to an extent.

Jessie Dotson was convicted of 6 counts of first-degree murder after his October 2010 trial in Memphis. He was sentenced to the death penalty.

That x ray was a nice touch.

4 months, 2,4,5 & 9 y.o. That woman was poppin' them out. Must have been in jail for a couple yrs after the 1st kid. Odds are heavily in favor of the probability that all those towheads & adults were sucking off the taxpayer.

Cecil Jr & Cecil II? wtf.

trial and where he takes the stand etc. are to be found on youtube. Also saw a news coverage : Mass-murderer Jessie Dotson, is planning on tying the knot in prison. He met his now fiancé after he was arrested for the Lester Street murders. Because he's such a nice guy

Apparently he'd not been out of prison long when he did these murders. He'd already done a stint for another murder. He looks insane/evil.

Did this guy not get the memo? You can't be a bluesman until you've murdered a MAN in Memphis, TN. Woman and children don't count.
