- Note from an anonymous reader:
-
- Readers who have been following the case of the missing
basketball player from Baylor University in Waco, Texas will be interested
to know that the young man who has been arrested as an alleged murder perpetrator
had asked police for assistance after "hearing voices"! Read
the following article carefully. First the Branch Davidians, now the Dennehy
case -- what is going on in Waco, Texas and are the Feds perfecting some
sort of mind control technology to inflict on society -- to literally set
brother against brother, friend against friend? Is a case like this possibly
just a warm-up for prime time, when larger numbers of people might be triggered
simultaneously?

- Roommate Of Missing Baylor Player
- Held Without Bail On Murder Charges
-
- CHESTERTOWN, Maryland (CNN) -- Carlton Dotson, the former
Baylor University basketball player arrested and charged with killing his
teammate and best friend Patrick Dennehy, has refused to waive extradition
to Waco, Texas, to face a murder charge.
-
- Wearing an orange prisoner's uniform with his ankles
shackled and hands cuffed, Dotson Tuesday appeared before a Kent County,
Maryland, judge and was ordered held without bond at the Kent County, Maryland,
Detention Center.
-
- An extradition hearing will be held in 30 days.
-
- The charge was filed after Dotson contacted police Sunday
and asked for counseling, saying he was "hearing voices," said
Chestertown, Maryland, Police Chief Walter Coryell. He was transported
to a hospital, where he called the FBI and asked for and received an interview
with them.
-
- As a result of the conversation, Waco authorities issued
a warrant, and Maryland authorities executed the warrant Monday and arrested
Dotson.
-
- A Waco police sergeant told the Dallas Morning News that
Dotson confessed to murder, but other reports say he denied that. The FBI
would not confirm or deny the reports of a confession.
-
- At Tuesday's hearing, Joseph Flanagan, a Kent County
deputy state's attorney, argued against bail, pointing to the nature and
seriousness of the crime. He also said Dotson made "strong incriminating
statements" to the FBI "against his interest."
-
- A Dotson attorney argued his client should get bail,
saying he has no record, is well-known in the community and isn't a flight
risk. He asked for $75,000 bail.
-
- Dotson entered and left the court flanked by lawmen without
talking to reporters. Dotson attorneys Sherwood Wescott and Purcell Luke
said the decision to fight extradition was "a strategic" move,
but they did not elaborate.
-
- Dotson's grandfather described Dotson's behavior in recent
weeks as calm but said he had problems sleeping because of the case.
-
- Waco Police will hold a news conference on the case at
5 p.m. EDT Tuesday, the department said.
-
- An informant's account in an affidavit given to police
said Dotson shot Dennehy during an argument while the two were shooting
guns in a field north of Waco. Dotson had previously been questioned by
Waco police but had not been named as a suspect.
-
- Waco Police Sgt. Ryan Holt confirmed that investigators
are studying a 9 mm Glock handgun turned over to police after it was found
in south Waco.
-
- Dennehy's family reported him missing June 19, and his
1996 Chevrolet SUV turned up June 25 -- without its license plates -- in
Virginia Beach, Virginia.
-
- The 6-foot-10 center was considered a top recruit to
Baylor, having transferred the year before from the University of New Mexico.
College basketball rules forced him to sit out the past season, but he
was expected to get playing time this fall.
-
- Investigators have searched a field where the informer
said Dennehy was shot last month, but found no clues to the player's disappearance.
