Waco, Texas ? Former Baylor basketball player Carlton Dotson was led off to prison for 35 years Wednesday to shouts from the stepfather of his murdered best friend and teammate, who held up a framed picture of his son and yelled: “Remember him! Remember his face!

“You, Carlton Dotson, are a killer, a sinner of the worst degree, and may you never forget what you did,” Brian Brabazon said during the sentencing, at times glaring and pointing at Dotson as his voice rose to a shout.

Dotson showed no emotion. Valorie Brabazon, the mother of victim Patrick Dennehy, sat in the front row sobbing as her teenage daughter tried to comfort her. She said afterward that the family would attend all parole board hearings and urge that Dotson “doesn’t walk the streets again.”

Dotson, 23, pleaded guilty last week to killing the 21-year-old Dennehy, whose body was found in 2003 in a field where the two best friends had gone to shoot targets. The case against Dotson shocked the Baptist school and led to a scandal in the basketball program.

Dotson was arrested at his home in Maryland, a few days before the body was found, after calling authorities to say he was hearing voices. He told authorities where to look for the corpse of the 6-foot-10 Dennehy, who dreamed of playing in the NBA.

Dotson could have gotten life in prison. He will be eligible for parole after serving about half of the sentence.

After the sentencing, Brian Brabazon called Dotson an “instrument of the devil,” and said he hopes Dotson never gets out of prison.
