A former Georgia sheriff accused of ordering the assassination of his successor has been refusing to eat while in jail, the judge in his murder trial said Tuesday. Judge Cynthia Becker said she would have Sidney Dorsey 'physically examined and pumped full of whatever it takes' to get proper nutrition. Dorsey told the judge the reports were a misunderstanding. Dorsey, 63, could get life in prison without parole if convicted of murdering Derwin Brown. Brown was gunned down on Dec. 15, 2000, three days before he was to take office. He had beaten Dorsey in a hotly contested election months earlier. Dorsey has said he had nothing to do with the slaying. Prosecutors claim Dorsey ordered the killing in hopes of forcing a special election. The case against Dorsey is based almost entirely on the testimony of two of his former associates who have said they carried out the slaying. |
