A New Jersey family that murdered together was sentenced together Thursday for the slaying of a 42-year-old man moments after he had dropped off his toddler daughter to the ex-wife who plotted his killing.
Thomas Dorsett, who beat Stephen Moore of Manchester to death on Aug. 16, 2010, and his daughter Kathleen were given lengthy prison terms in Superior Court,. Thomas Dorsett's wife and Kathleen's mother, Lesley Dorsett, a former teacher, bookkeeper and school board member, drew a seven-year prison term for a murder-for-hire conspiracy against Moore's mother.
Prosecutors called Kathleen Dorsett, a third-grade teacher in Neptune at the time of the killing, the orchestrator of the plot to eliminate Moore because of custody of their child.
But what spawned the murder was ruthless domination, prosecutors said.
