In January 1982, Williams was found guilty of the murder of two adult men.

1996

Prior to 1996, Dorsey served on the task force that looked into reopening the case of convicted murderer Wayne Williams.

Dorsey appeared as one of many, who voiced public doubt of Williams's guilt of the murders, including some of the victims' relatives.

Dorsey is quoted as stating: "Most people who are aware of the child murders believe as I do that Wayne Williams did not commit these crimes".

2000

When Dorsey lost a 2000 runoff election by challenger Derwin Brown, he arranged the murder of Brown.

On the evening of December 15, 2000, police captain Derwin Brown, who defeated Dorsey that November in the election for county sheriff, was murdered at his home in Decatur, Georgia.

2002

On July 10, 2002, Dorsey was convicted of ordering Brown's assassination in order to obstruct Brown's expected probe into corruption occurring in the DeKalb County sheriff's office during Dorsey's term.

Superior Court Judge Cynthia Becker sentenced Sheriff Dorsey to life in prison on the murder conviction, an additional 23 years on racketeering and violation of oath of office convictions and concurrent sentences ranging from 10 to 15 years on his several convictions of theft by taking of the oath of office of an elected official.

Dorsey is currently being held at Georgia Diagnostic and Classification State Prison.

2007
