East Tennessee > Raynella Dossett-Leath Indicted for a Second Husband's Murder

I noticed lots of people coming to my site searching for Raynella Dossett-Leath. Here's why:

The widow of a Knox County District Attorney General has been indicted on a first degree murder charge in his 1992 death.

Leath's attorney, James A.H. Bell, tells 10News that law enforcement officers arrived at Raynella Dossett-Leath's residence around 8:00 a.m. Thursday. Leath surrendered as the papers were served. She was transported to the Knox County Detention Center and was later released on a $25,000 bond.

Leath is already charged with the shooting death of her second husband, David Leath in March, 2003.

The latest charge is for the murder of her first husband, Ed Dossett . The official cause of death was trampling by cattle outside the Barn of Doom, but prosecutors now say he would have been unable to walk with the amount of morphine in his system.

The AP has more.
