Ben and Sarah Bonnie
Summary of Offense:
A Jefferson City man was sentenced to death in February 2008 for the Christmastime 2006 slaying of his cousin and her husband in Callaway County. Boone County Circuit Judge Gene Hamilton ordered the death penalty in a sentencing hearing for Brian Dorsey. A Boone County jury recommended death sentences for Dorsey in the December 23, 2006 slayings of Ben and Sarah Bonnie in their New Bloomfield home. Dorsey had already pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree murder in the case. The two-day trial held in Boone County on a change of venue was for the jury to decide the punishment recommendation: death or life imprisonment without parole.
