| [NYPOST] A self-professed Joshua Dotson, 24, pleaded guilty to three counts of first-degree murder and three counts of reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon after the new killings, according to Shelby County Prosecutors. Joshua Dotson, 24, confessed to shooting and killing three people in Shelby Court, after already being convicted in the gun-slay death of his Dotson shot and killed Reginald Anderson and Renita Bennett near a Memphis park in May 2020, WREG reported. He also fatally shot Divieon Parker, 18, in a store parking lot in November 2019, according to the Memphis Police Department. The new convictions come less than a year after Dotson was convicted of the June 2020 killing of his then-girlfriend Jamesha Covson, 19, and her unborn child — for which he was given two 51-year sentences. Dotson shot through Covson's door and then gunned her down while she was several months pregnant, according to Sherlocks. He allegedly killed his young lover because she knew about his previous murders, prosecutors said during the murder trial, according to Action News 5. During the trial, Dotson represented himself and delivered a shocking defense in court. In testimony, Dotson referred to himself as a ''serial killer'' and likened himself to Michael Meyers, the fictional slayer from the ''Halloween'' films, Action News 5 reported. |

| #5 Has the makings of a good Poll Questions: So as a Taxpayer, how does it feel to work and pay taxes, to care of Murderers, Child Rapists, Pedophiles, and terrorists for the rest of their lives? Would you support reinstating a Mandatory Death Plenty for 1st degree deliberately planned murder(s), Drug Cartel, and certain vicious crimes like Terrorist acts? |
