“We considered you an equal in all respects. We trusted you. You repaid us by committing the ultimate betrayal,” Simms wrote of Dawson. Before reading her statement, Shanelle paused to fiercely stare at Dawson from across the courtroom, breaking into tears before speaking. “The torture of not knowing what happened, of what you did with her body - please tell us where she is. I hope you will finally admit the truth to yourself,” she said.
Dawson would lie to his daughters after the murder, telling them that Lynette wasn’t their “real mother” but was only pretend because she had walked out, Jenkins said. On Thursday, crown prosecutor Craig Everson SC said Dawson had planned a “deliberate and conscious act” of domestic violence with the intention to kill.It was heinous because of the significant harm to others through delays in the case and Dawson’s lack of remorse, Everson said.
