Glen Dotson was found guilty today of conspiracy to commit murder and delivering a firearm to a known felon. Dotson’s trial began one week ago in US District Court in St. Louis. Dotson was found guilty of conspiring with Virgil Lee Jackson to murder competitor Gerald “Jerry” Cox. The jury reached a verdict of guilty on both counts and he was taken into federal custody. He will be sentenced at a later date. The sentence range is 10-14 years.
Glen Dotson and Virgil Lee Jackson, both formerly licensed bail bond agents, conspired to murder Cox in 2005. Jackson pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder last August and was sentenced to 10 years.

When writing a blog about something that is on the news it probably would be incorrect to put "Jackson and Dotson conspired..." if you dont know for sure that they conspired to murder, which YOU couldnt being that you are neither of them... Then the best thing to do is to probably not comment at all...Its amazing how someone could just assume that they know everything, you couldnt possibly know for sure, because you are clearly neither of them...so I am just simply suggesting that you dont comment with such certainty on specific matters when you can in no way be certain. Thanks!
