Who Shot the Sheriff? - Someone They Knew with Tamron Hall 

WATCH #SomeoneTheyKnew with #TamronHall - Sundays 9/8c on #CourtTV court.tv/FindUs

This is one’s of the best investigative news programs out there.

I was a DeKalb resident and knew Derwin Brown before he was killed. I attended the party at Scores he was at that night. We were toasting and congratulating the victory. This was a tragedy on many levels. What makes me cry is the fact that Mrs Brown had to fight until her death for Derwins benefits. The state used a loophole against and her children. Rest on Power Mr. and Mrs Derwin Brown.

I was raised in DeKalb county. This was so tragic. Sheriff Brown was a good man. I remember crying every time I saw his wife. So senseless. Bless his family ❤

What good videos without unnecessary drama and gets right to the point!💓💪💓

My God, a good man was killed and the city did nothing for his family and they should be ashamed.

DeKalb county politicians etc should be ashamed of themselves!!! They abandoned their sheriff elect's family.

He’s been getting away with evil for so long. I bet, he never even considered getting caught.

Thanks Tam! I wasn’t feeling the true crime daily podcasts and needed something new. You are the best

I had never heard about this. All I can say is wow!! Thank you for posting this story.

And on his wife's birthday? How horrible! My mother-in-law passed away on Father's Day, hard to be happy on that day now. Bless the family of Sherrif Derwin Brown, he was already cleaning things up and sadly paid with his life.

I don't care if it IS your "family" that's done something like this. You shouldn't *stand *by *them just because they're blood.

Phyllis Brown suffered a lot after her husband was killed May They RIP

Tamron Hall, dignified and behaves with honor and dignity for the serious subject of justice.

I lived in DeKalb County when this happened and I couldn't believe it. I still can't!

Derwin Brown should have been protected by the police

WHY can we not do the right thing when we finally get a seat at the table?! Pride & arrogance will steal everything people, be vigilant & stay humble... Another good man killed for greed & pride 😐

That reporter is a good man...that ex Sheriff is a narcissist

The reporter needs to let go of his guilt, he didn't do one bad thing, everything he did was good and right, unlike many others he risked his life for the good of mankind.

This was a compelling and absolutely awesome documentary show ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What's easily overlooked is the fact that if this happens at small stations like that, it is definitely happening everywhere across the country! With the current temperature of the abusive nature of "policemen" today. The validity of the appointments of every law enforcement officers in cases of firing for derilection of duty, mishandling of evidence, and the countless violations of corrupt police, must be checked and NEVER omitted in every case. To be able to put anyone you choose in uniform, based on simply wanting them in uniform is SO DIRTY that it must be asked of citizens. Who knows that it's possible to issue a gun and badge to anyone who hasn't undergone the most rudimentary police training? If anyone answers that question with, "I know that it happens." That person must immediately be placed behind BARS! THIS IS NEWS TO MY EARS, AND I SADLY BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS HAPPENING.

I knew Mr. and Mrs. Brown. I attended atherton elementary school with their children. My parents were their friends, out of Decatur, GA. Just want to say we love you, and hope there are peace with the Brown family. Love ❤️

I was a little girl when this happened. I grow up with Mr. J Tom Morgan’s daughter from kindergarten until we graduated high school. I remember going to their house for bday parties and sleepovers. He was always working however, found time for his family. Mr. Morgan was a good man

A liar to the end! Smh...pure evil😠

That jealous, corrupt s.o.b. didn't even let the new sheriff get sworn in. What a horrible person.

Satan walks about like a roaring lion.

I remember when this happened, I was living about 40 minutes away so sad on many levels. Mrs. Brown worried herself to death.

WHEN YOU THINK YOU ARE ABOVE THE LAW!!!! YOU ARE CHECKED BY KARMA!!!!

Sidney Dorsey sat in the courthouse emotionless 😑 and heartless. You gotta be careful nowadays.

How can he sit there looking angry while guilty

Excellent reporting and producing.

Dorsey should be ashamed for EVERYTHING he did!! It’s a hard job fighting greed to keep this world honest 😞 Keep up the fight America one person at a time 🙏🏻🇺🇸💙

The wife died this is so sad!!!

It’s the dumbest thing to kill a person. If anything, you mess up your own life too.

Thank you for your detailed stories. I live in Dekalb County and you told details I was unaware of. Keep up the Great work.

Thank you COURT TV, you have The best shows!!I just to watch your episodes in those cable years, golden years of television 📺 😊

Evil just pure evil. My condolences to the family of Mr. Brown.

Dorsey look evil!

Thank u so much court tv for this

This episode put the meaning on "dirty south." Tamron Hall is the best! My heart goes out to the Brown family.

I grew up in DeKalb and remember this case well. It was shocking.

.....I think Cuffy was actually the trigger man.

Another demon disguised as a human, wearing a human suit. The poor wife, his family, the community and everyone lost a beautiful human. All because of greed & evil.

I was living in Dekalb County when this happened. So sad & tragic on every level. My heart went out to his wife. The county & the state never compensated this family, who's spouse was killed by county employees.

That's just so heartbreaking.

Did anybody catch ..that they where 37 cops about to get fired..37 doing dirt..🤦‍♂️😔

Sydney Dorsey looks like Nino Brown in New Jack City..what a scowl..

He is not only bad but stupid. Something wrong with their brain. I mean you solve a problem by murdering the person ? And dont you know you go to prison forever. Does that solve your problem?

The murderer and his gang was not only corrupt from the get go but proved it by ordering and carrying out an honourable man's death.

I would drive pass by the Dekalb jail on numerous occasions and didn’t know of this history. Eveytime I pass now it will be different. Rest in peace Mr. Derwin Brown💐

Him violating a woman speaks to his character, dummy. Why ask such a question?

I just hate that not one person was “dignified” or courageous until someone else put their life & name on the line. Let all them years pass by with corruptness & no one did or said a thing

This was such nonsense that this man was murdered over a position. I can only imagine that the men he told he was letting go didn't have any reason to thwart the murder of this man.

Tamron is Tha Bomb 💣 n I luv her for it. Ibet her is a sweetheart 💕

Sad to say it all still is happening! Corruption all over the place. Never really cleaned up!

This was really really good, thank you!

One of the first things I noticed was the DeKalb County Officials knew the Sheriff Dorsey was corrupt. They just decided to do nothing about it! Wgen the Sheriff Elect was murdered all if a sudden they were concerned about his corruption. But the murder was egregious. They could not let him get away with it. I'm so sorry for the Brown family. Derwin Brown was an outstanding Police Captain, and was determined to clean up the Sheriff's Office! May he R.I.P.

wish they would have put Darwin & his family in protective custody.. this breaks my 💔😢 he was such a good man .. the hate be so real it’s sad

😢 and tragic. Poor Mrs. Brown. The pain on her face. 🎉RIP

Organized crime is exactly what it was

I love that blazer ! Looking great Tamara!

My God the Bible tell us about mankind heart that is evil continuously😭😭😭😭 and the heart desperately wicked 😭😭😭😭

Bless Mrs. Brown. How horrific for her and her family. Heartbreaking 💔

Just remember this, the Bible is clear “ That the sins of the father will revisit the children, here he took the life of a good man who wanted to clean up all the corruption his opponents caused, and years later admitted his role in Brown’s death, then years later his older son gets murdered. God’s words are coming to pass.

It's really unbelievable that ppl think they can get away with murder... Especially when you're in a high-profile political position...

Look at how the judge look at him as if you finish lying

Lord have mercy.

That's the worst place I've ever lived in my life

You two are something else. Being able to do this trip with two small kids, well one, Hunter is so use to this she’s a pro. This was a great series. Thank you .

Distant realted to the Brown family. May he rest in peace. Travel Light Brother.

I remember watching this trial on Court TV

Super reporting!!

This show is what made me subscribe to court TV. Love Tamron Hall, and there was great coverage on the Murdaugh trial. Good job court TV. 🙌🏻🙏🏻

Tamron hill is a beautiful lady

Wow. His son was murdered. This is insane

Thankyou Tamron,great channel

Dorsey should be put under the jail. Words can't express how much I hate this man. I've seen his type,, the worst of the worst.

Love this 👏

Gosh! He shouldn't have given them a heads up!

An absolute abuse of position and power.

Dorsey....guilty as charged. Man up and serve your sentence...

Happy International Women's Day Tamron and all.

Classy Tamron Hall

Riveting. Heart breaking.

Derwin Brown lived in my community on long island,nassau county, NY.

Just got to Atlanta when this happened..couldn’t believe it

Derwin's wife made a victim impact statement that should have hit Sydney Dorsey right in his soul, or whatever's left of it! She's a strong women, to be able to confront him and not break down!

As soon as I saw "who shot the sheriff "I knew exactly what it was, I just happened to be in Atlanta for work and this happened when I was there 😮

Looking at the first pic of his wife, that woman was stressed toward the end. I hope she late found some peace. Rest in Paradise to her and her husband. For him to later confess to this is just a shame. He still living 80+ yrs of age. Smh destroyed a lot of lives

I remember hearing about this years ago and it was just so unfortunate for the Brown family. Mrs. Brown was consumed with grief and that painstakingly grief was definitely compiled on top of the stroke she had, and the poor woman died from all of these tragic events that put a major dent in her life and her family's life as well. May Mr. & Mrs. Derwin Brown rest in peace.

Bob Marley said it best " I shot the sheriff ". 😆🤣

1:00....anyone can be bought and dont forget that. That will never change. It was around 2000 years ago and still exists this day. Understand. The power of money.

GREED Dishonesty!!!! Gets You Life

Wow absolutely beautiful reporting. 👏👏👏😪

EPITOME OF IGNORANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely Tragic!!!! I hope he knew Jesus!!!

The curse goes on and on until God stops it or time changes it.

1 Timothy 6:10 “For the love of money is the root of all of evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows”

I could NEVER defend someone like the ex sheriff! He's such a liar!

Family should be fine as it turned out it was a hit straight from sheriff office as all were held responsible the law suits will cover monetary issues
