State v. Dotson

COOKS, Judge.

FACTS AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY

Defendant, Matthew Dotson, lived with the victims in this case, his girlfriend, Misty Marshall, and her nine-year-old son, Day-Min. Also residing in that home was their daughter, toddler Zinlee Dotson, as well as Ms. Marshall's teenage daughter, Jasmine Moses. At the end of the Thanksgiving 2015 break for school, the children got their school gear together and the family had supper. Day-Min and Jasmine each went to bed. When Jasmine woke up the next day, she noticed her mother and brother were not present, and the living room appeared to be in disarray.
