Black Man’s Lust for A White Woman Took Him to His Grave..Literally


And she was ugly on top of that!


Lawyers have begun jury selection in the trial of a woman accused of killing a Lakeland, Fla., lottery winner more than two years ago.

Investigators say Doris "Dee Dee" Moore, 40, befriended Abraham Shakespeare after he won $17 million and eventually swindled him out of his winnings before killing him in 2009.
Moore has denied killing Shakespeare. Lawyers are expected to finish picking the jury later this morning with opening statements expected later today or Wednesday.

Shakespeare, 47, made headlines in 2006 when he won $30 million in the Florida lottery, only to be sued the next year by a co-worker who alleged that Shakespeare had stolen the winning tickets from him. A jury sided with Shakespeare in October 2007, and he took home a $17 million lump-sum payout before taxes.
But like many lottery winners, his life did not change for the better. By 2009, he had burned through much of the money, paying off the mortgages of family and friends.

"I would really like my old life back when I could walk the streets like a normal person without people coming up asking for money," Shakespeare said at the time.
Shakespeare met Moore in 2009 and she promised to manage his money and make it last, according to prosecutors. But Moore has repeatedly defended her actions.

"Every bit of the money was done properly and professionally," Moore said in 2010. "There's no jury that's going to convict me. They're saying that I took a gun, put it up and killed another human being and I would never do that."

Authorities say that Shakespeare was shot twice in the chest by a 38-caliber pistol sometime in April 2009. He wasn't reported missing until November and his body was found Jan. 28, 2010, after days of digging in the woods on a rural property in Plant City, Fla.


There had been a 30-foot-by-30-foot concrete slab that had been poured," Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Debbie Carter said at the time of the discovery. "The human remains had been found about five feet under the concrete."

Public records show the property off Highway 60 is owned by Shar Krasniqi, the man Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd has identified as the boyfriend of Moore.



Moore was charged as an accessory after the fact to first-degree murder Feb. 2, 2010.
Authorities say they have a surveillance video from a Florida Walmart showing Moore rushing to buy large amounts of duct tape, trash bags and plastic sheeting. But that's not all the evidence investigators say they have. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd told "Good Morning America" on Feb. 4, 2010, that at the time of Moore's statement to reporters, the police never made it public that Shakespeare was shot.
Authorities say Moore's story began to fall apart at her very first interview with police shortly after Shakespeare was reported missing in November.

"From the very beginning of our investigation, which started seven months after he went missing, we found out she still had Abraham Shakespeare's cellphone and was texting his friends as well as her own cellphone pretending to be Abraham," Judd said.

Moore had made several attempts to make it look as though Shakespeare had been communicating with his family -- offering someone a $200,000 house in exchange for reporting a false sighting, sending his son $5,000 in cash for his birthday and sending text messages -- even though Shakespeare had already disappeared, Polk County authorities said.

Prosecutors are also expected to call Gregory Todd Smith, an informant to authorities, to the witness stand. According to investigators, Moore asked for Smith's help to conceal the killing.
Smith said for months he lived a double life as he worked with Polk County investigators to find Shakespeare's body and it finally paid off when Moore allegedly took Smith and an unidentified man to where the lotto winner was buried, according to WFTS. The trial is expected to last two weeks and prosecutors are not pursuing the death penalty. If convicted, Moore faces life in prison.

Corvette Bought by Suspect DeeDee Moore Returned by Boyfriend


LAKELAND | A 2008 black Corvette allegedly purchased with money from murdered Lotto winner Abraham Shakespeare has been turned over to the Hillsborough County Sheriffs Office.
Shar Krasniqi, 26, who has been described as the boyfriend of Dorice "DeeDee" Moore, gave the vehicle to the Hillsborough office Friday.

Moore, 37, was arrested Feb. 2 by Hillsborough deputies and charged with being an accessory-after-the-fact of first-degree murder. Shakespeare's remains were found Jan. 28 under a concrete slab at a Plant City house. Krasniqi was interviewed by Hillsborough investigators Friday but officials are not disclosing any information about the interview, according to Debbie Carter, a spokeswoman for the agency.

"He did it on his own," Carter said when asked why Krasniqi brought in the Corvette.Krasniqi told The Ledger Monday by e-mail that he was "shocked and sickened to learn about the untimely death of Abraham Shakespeare.''

"Since being notified by authorities working on the case, I have fully cooperated with them," Krasniqi said. "When it was brought to my attention that there was personal property obtained fraudulently, I immediately notified law enforcement that I wanted to expedite its return. I have asked law enforcement about returning other items and at this point I am waiting on them to let me know when and what steps to take to giving back the personal property related to the investigation."

Krasniqi said he could not comment further about his relationship with Moore nor why she listed real estate and companies in his name nor what he knew about money she spent.




Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said in January that Moore created a limited liability corporation in February 2009, giving herself all authority over transactions.Judd said Moore gave herself $1 million that she told detectives was a gift from Shakespeare. She used the money to purchase a Hummer, the Corvette, a truck and to take vacations.

According to Hillsborough property records, Krasniqi is the owner of the home at 5802 State Road 60 E. in Plant City where Shakespeare's remains were found.The previous owner of the house, Richard Land, said Moore purchased the home with a check from an account for Abraham Shakespeare LLC.

Stitzel Law Firm LLC was located at the house when the body was discovered. Howard Stitzel had reportedly represented Shakespeare in a child-support case and helped with paperwork that transferred mortgages held by Shakespeare to a company that Moore owned.

In addition to listing the house in Krasniqi's name, Moore also had her medical staffing company, American Medical Professionals, listed in his name, Polk sheriff's officials have said.
A house at 5732 S.R. 60 E., next door to the law firm, was leased by Moore and used by Krasniqi for his company, A Stat And Supplies, LLC. According to state records, Krasniqi is the CEO.
Moore's arrest affidavit stated Shakespeare was killed in the house used by Krasniqi for his business and then buried behind the two-story house that Stitzel used.

Shakespeare, 43, had collected a $17 million lump sum Lotto payout in November 2006. He was last seen in April but wasn't reported missing to the Polk County Sheriff's Office until November.Moore told The Ledger in November that she masterminded a plan to help Shakespeare

escape from people bothering him for money and child support problems. The day before her arrest, Moore said she didn't "pull the trigger" and she is "guilty of covering up his death." Reliable Ledger sources have said Shakespeare was shot to death.
An arrest affidavit stated Moore tried to pay someone $50,000 to take the blame for Shakespeare's murder. Records state she also showed a Smith & Wesson .38 caliber revolver to Lakelander Gregory Todd Smith, telling him it was the murder weapon.
Moore is being held in the Hillsborough County Jail in lieu of $1 million bond. Moore needs to post $100,000 to be released and must disclose the source of the bail money.

  1. After reading the entire article the headline is misleading and in a subliminal way blames the victim.

    1. If a Black Woman had come to him offering to help him fix his finances he would have run her away and been alive. But he had been trained to believe the white woman was smart, sophisticated and a hot commodity to have. If he was not blinded by her white skin,white is right thinking, a trailor trash con-woman like her could not have infiltrated his family. He wanted the white mans pride, his woman, to make him feel like somebody. Well, having that trophy cost him the ultimate price!
