Evil is evil. No matter what race or colour.

He killed them because he was bitter and jealous. And in jail he felt forgotten. I have a relative like this and I am never opening my door to him. I do not trust him.

Did anybody watch this on the first 48?

I was 26 years old when his case appeared on first 48 literally the scarriest case on the show pure evil hate and jealousy at its finest

He should have never gotten out of prison 🙏🏽😢❤️

One of the first 48 most chilling episodes. This alone is the reason I started to watch this show.

I cannot beleive how calm he is ...all I gotta say is THANK GOD FOR PRISONS..KEEP HIS ASS OFF THE STREETS...I AM SO PISSED OFF!!!

The Lester Street episode has never left my brain. Pure evil. The devil is def among us. So scary. He is The devil in the flesh.

Quit with the “yes sir” It really doesn’t help you. We are too smart to consider such a thing.

This is a good reason why the U.S Justice System sucks ass! This man was pled guilty to 2nd degree murder back in 1994 and received 18 years. He was released on parole in 2007 and killed his brother in 2008. Why in the hell would you let the guy out of prison if they have freaking killed someone! All over a simple argument he killed his brother (argument) along with 5 other people (witnesses; 2 children). And shows absolutely ZERO remorse. SMH

RIP TO ALL THE KIDS AND ADULTS IN THIS CASE

I saw this on the 1st 48hrs. And what got me was he murdered his family and then walking around helping them look for the person who did this. Knowing the whole time he was the one that murdered his family. He is one sick person.

takes a big man to stab a child with a kitchen knife .....death penalty should be mandatory for child killers

Psychopath. His first interview with the police he was smiling and talking about how he wasn't a "G" and shit. They even had his punk ass in protective custody. The 3 survivors who are either adults or teenagers now need so much love and support. This trauma will never leave them. 💔

He is a real psychopath. I recall seeing the first 48, he lied to detectives from jump and he was too calm even though do many members of his immediate family had died

The saddest case in First 48 history, Love the whole Memphis team, especially Mullins, Armstrong, and the best detecive, Mason

He even led investigators to believe this was gang related. He blamed the gangster deciples. Shouldn't the gangster deciples kill this sob for blaming them?

I remember this episode it is one of the worst ones. Wow.

This guy went to prison for murder, had 29 discipline write-ups and even stab somebody while he was in prison and he still got out early. He only did 13 years, now tell me the system ain't f***** up.

He been in jail 13 and a half years that's all he know. He was ready to go back to his lovers

It's fascinating to watch someone tell a story when you KNOW they're blatantly lying. When a defense attorney also knows they're lying, a defense attorney who also knows children were murdered, it takes on a deeper, more bizarre hue.

How can a person sit up there ,know he killed his family and show no remorse.Junior looks like you wasted peoples time taking this to trail trying to put this on someone else.If I was your family you wouldn't get s**t from me! GUILTY A F

The fact that he is so calm about it is what gets me!

Just when you think you've seen it all.....satun will disguise himself in unimaginable ways. We must stay prayed up. God bless those babies, they have wings of doves and safe forever now...

This was the craziest first 48 I ever saw stabbing them kids wasn't right and the part where one of them kids survived and told police it was there own uncle who was currently in hiding with the rest of the family thinking it was someone else who killed his brother and his family Damn that was crazy and heart breaking God Bless them

He had already killed a man before. He had told a fellow inmate in prison that he was going to kill his own brother after he would be released from prison. Why was a killer released from prison in the first place ??? 👁️👁️

How in the hell can he sit there and lie through his teeth like that!!! I saw his confession!!! He's a piece of shit!!!!! But that's alright...he was found guilty and it doesn't matter what he lied about...cause he could NEVER CONVINCE ANYONE THAT HE DIDN'T DO IT!! The judge knows it the jury knew it and EVERY sane person in the world knows he did it. He should've gotten the death penalty right then and there!!!

why would he kill a newborn baby? sinister!

He wanted EVERYONE to believe he hid UNDER a bed while “Someone” came in killed EVERYONE in the house , while he walked pass dead and dying babies his own blood and he walked pass a phone on the wall and didn’t call for help . Didn’t even check on the 2 month old , looked at a kid in the tub with a knife in his head and just got under the bed 🤬🤬

As if murder isn’t messed up enough, but there are also families who have to experience the trial on the victims’ side as well as the defendant’s. Can you imagine what that poor mom went through testifying against her own son in a death penalty trial? I imagine the guilt would’ve eaten her alive if she didn’t stand for the son he killed and his family and it also eats her alive for cooperating to get the death penalty against this son.

After knowing he will never has freedom again he has more respect to address a stranger with “Yes Sir” & “No Sir” but had no respect for his brothers life and his nephews lives, and his brothers girlfriend and friends. And to think all this was over his brother sleeping with one of his ex girlfriends

I don't care how much a detective beat on a table, curse me out, or threatened me, if I didn't kill my family or cause them any harm, I'm not going to admit to NOTHING. SOLID!!!

If they ever make a movie about this..they must consider T.I. for the role..dude looks and talks exactly like him

He Had A 44 But He Hide Under A Bed🤔🤔🤔🤔

I was down the street when this happens rip to them people's still 💙💙💜🙏🙏🙏

I remembered that case like it's was yesterday on the first 48 that man he's the true meaning of evil

crime is crime not a color

this man is pure evil. it shows in his face

Hands down, the most cold blooded and chilling episode on First 48. None worst than this one, and I’ve seen every single episode. Murdered his family tho. Kids n all. That’s a whole other level.

My condolences to the families. When I first saw the 48 hr episode my heart went out to his mother. Under the circumstances she handled it well. He is still her child no matter what. I am sure that she still loves him. It must have been hard to testify against him I'm sure but she told the truth.

This was the saddest episode ever

He was plotting to kill them all alone

I WATCH THIS ON THE FIRST 48!! HE IS A COLD BLOODED KILLER!!

Did Anybody Watch This On After The First 48???

Only God can judge this man...He confessed on 48hrs he killed everyone in that house....He even told his mother that he did it...Pure evil...its crazy

There is a fund set up for the surviving children.... please continue to help... the dotson children benefit fund..

All I have to say is Jessie aka Junior sat in prison and “Stewed” he premeditated their murders in his head upon his release. His intentions was to take everyone out in the house so they cannot identify him. This is not only sad and heartbreaking but it’s unfathomable to think someone can do this to their own family members, especially the children. Lord ✝️ take the wheel. Rest in Heaven to both children and the four adults🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Jessie needs Jesus ✝️🙏🏾♥️ Praying for him and also the remaining family members.

Having a father in your life doesn’t mean nothing at all these days

Just like Ted Bundy and the rest of em

This is when you see pure evil!

This is so very very sad. How can a brother do such a thing to his entire family. Tragic. He is pure evil. No feelings no empathy no compassion just evil. Well no more appeals buddy your time is coming. What will you say to your creator.

This was so fucking sad, one of the kids had a knife sticking out of their heads. Family too. Takes someone with real issues to do that..

Fucking squeaky chair pissing me off.

Take a shot every time he says no sir as a response to a question that he’s most definitely lying about

the ugliness of this man. a liar with no remorse. he needs no help in being damned. he's already lost his soul. be on guard and protect your family.

This guy is something wicked. It’s bad enough he killed his brother, some of his kids, and his friends, but he did it knowing his niece’s birthday was the following day smh And no one is buying that he offered to change some sheets 🙄

Shorty behind em got a shotgun like "try some sh:t......

I could not get over this episode. Murdering his brother and the others in the house including the kids My heart aches

Jessie, why did you kill everybody in the house?...They was home!!!

The most disturbing part is he was just released from prison for murder and some woman was willing to be his girlfriend. 😣

I began watching this show after watching this episode. The Mother of these two boys, the one killed & the one that killed. She showed the love of God. She inspired me to pray more for all of us. 🙏

I just came across this video (I was looking for First 48 episodes) and this appeared. I will always remember the first time I watched this. It was very sad and heartbreaking. I always think about the family and especially the kids. But I did not know he took the stand and denied killing his family!! Shocking. I just do not believe his nephew would've said he killed those people had he not seen his uncle do it.

i'm so glad that this sick, twisted and physchotic man is sentenced to death next year if jessie would've gotten life in prison with parole and he got out of prison with good behavior do you know those kids lives would be in danger which means that dotson would come after those kids and finish the job that he started in 2009

The only way he could be acquitted was if his 6 victims all walked into the courtroom fit & well and that wasn’t likely to happen.

Sitting up there looking like T.I.'s well mannered brother. The killer.

Get into the deputy looking at him like, "Why you are sitting up here telling all them lies."

I seen this on the first 48 he confessed he did it

If these men spent this kind of time together with their FAMILIES these guys wouldn't get into half of the trouble they do!

You can tell he’s lying, look at how fast he puts his hands in his pockets.

whoever thinks this monster is innocent or feels sorry for him is just as sick and twisted as he is!!! I wouldnt visit, write, or send money to my brother who took someone else's life!!! Jessie should not have ever been released

This will go down as one of the most horrific cases on first 48...everyone says that and will never forget that poor baby..his own uncle didn't this

Looks like he had more regard for his folks than his family. There's no way he could have had that pen in his pocket around me. No sir. They don't give him a belt but a pen instead? By the way this whole story doesn't add up. How? I don't want to even think about it, but How?

Can somebody please tell me the link where I can watch the episode on this on first 48 PLEASE

He disgusts me beyond imaginable. His lawyer is sorry af. I think I know what's going on in Jessie head. After watching his interview with FOX. He's very proudful because he's committed murder before and did time and got out. So in his mind, he thinks that he'll out live his sentence? Or get off? In the interview he stated he hid underneath the bed the whole time. But as you can see here, he's saying nothing like that. In the interview he says that maybe his surviving nephews might be the ones to get him out. I say keep those boys far away from this nigga. The fact that he shows no remorse, hurt or pain, if not for his brother or the others there, at least for the children. He's so casual about this whole thing. And that sickens me.

I still remember everything thing I was doing that day when I Watched #First48 episode of this Massacre. Hearing about the children, how brutal their murders were broke my heart into a million pieces. The nerve of this demon acting like he was so innocent, and so concerned about those innocent Little Angels. But people, I tell you, God took those little angels souls and wrapped them in his arms. The power God has and the miracles He proforms are the most precious blessing God gives us all. God was not going to let that demon roam this earth after what he did. God sent his angels to protect the surviving children, because they will live to tell this story as a testimony, and their voice will be God Sword to slay that demon and send it back to hell forever. And yes, God was with those detectives as well. They made sure No One knew or mention anything about the surviving children, because The Older baby will be the one to slay that demon. That took that leap of faith, not knowing if that child knew, or saw who was responsible for that crime. When that detective came out the hospital with that tape recorded, He was so happy at the same time in raged, to even know that the one who committed that crime sat in his face getting sympathy, and encouragement from him. I know he did some serious praying to God asking for strength so he don't snatch that Man up and beat the daylight outta him. As he set back down with that demon, keeping his emotions under control, He said, "I want play something for you!" And he hit that play button, You saw the life leave outta his body! The detective asked him, what name did that baby say, Dude said "Junior," he then asked him, Who name Junior? Dude said that's his name! That detective hit his ass with that finally blow by saying, "You F'ed up when you Left one alive!" To me, after what that baby witnessed, and the pain, the hurt, and the terror they went through, THEY ARE THE REAL TRUE HERO. What they went through, made them very strong, because it took strength, courage, and the Will power to fight to stay alive. God was truly with them all. I hope he is sentenced to death and given his execution date at the same time. #44What #KARMA Wants, Karma# IS GONNA GET!" God bless and many more to come!

A very sad story.

Watched this on First 48 my heart was so broken watching this but before it aired my friend from Memphis called and told me about it... So 😔

well glad he is where he at....that simple

Crazy part is he ain’t stuttering or nothing, he really good

i think that waffles can fly and he is guilty

This guy with his 'yes sir' gets on my nerves. He's evil. And is it me his spinning this wild tale is causing me to doze off!

That's the cowardly lion there.

he's wicked wicked wicked man

DAMN that lady is Sitting CLOSE to him. She's staring at him. All in his s!%+

I saw this on 48 hours! Couldn't believe it was him.

@kosta1987 No, not when you have a gun. He confessed to police and even to his mother. He is only lying now to try and suspend his date of execution.

he's so sick I know these folks

For those of you who don’t know the man that’s being cross examined, This dude actually killed a house full of people(his own family) on an episode of the first 48

I think it is so sad that someone would be so heartless as to take the life of not only the adults but the kids!! I am speechless and it sickens me that we have indiviuals walking wround on this earth that would commit such a crime. My heart goes out.. An awful sad disgusting act againt another human being!!

I’m glad Tony Armstrong had this case! Don’t play with Tony! He bad boy! Ain’t scared!

Anyone knows where to find the full 48hr episode?

I remember this episode 😥

My condolences to the family and those kids that survived this monster

it amazes me how murderers come into the courtroom and speak politely. Yes sir, after he killed all those people so brutally. This makes me mad.

@shalicia17 - o_O he did it . & what makes it even more sickening is that he's showing no emotion .

Yes,I saw it on the First 48.Memphis,Tenn. In the house.This man was given the death sentence.Why is he still alive 10 years later.Those children he tried to kill.One of them is an adult now.Why is Jessie Dodd on still alive.I heard something about him filing appeals.I also heard that two Judges ruled death by lethal injection violates his civil rights because what is not known is the state does not know the proper amont of medication to put in the syringes to ensure death occurs.But after the cameras stopping rolling Jessie Dodson was called back in to court an the Judge sentenced him to 120 years for the attempted murder of the three children.You know what I say to all that. GOOD RIDDANCE TO BAD RUBBISH.

only thing i can say is DEATH PENALTY

where can i watch this episode?

I was pretty sure he was guilty but once he states he didn't call the police because he "is a gang member" I knew 100% he did it. Hes one sick man

Cukhz ears is amazing 😂😂😂😂😂😂
