Doctor's Game?

Richelle Shetina, 53, was dating Dr Joseph Sonnier III in 2012 when he was brutally murdered in his Lubbuck, Texas, home in 2012. She is now speaking out for the first time

Dr. Thomas Dixon, a Texas-based plastic surgeon, was convicted in the murder of Lubbock pathologist Dr. Joseph Sonnier, who was found shot and stabbed to death in his home in 2012.

Prosecutors argued that Dixon was an obsessed ex who paid his friend Shepard to stalk and then kill Sonnier because Dixon was jealous that Sonnier was with Dixon's former girlfriend, Richelle Shetina.

Shepard stabbed and shot Sonnier July 10, 2012, after he arrived home from work and then, he said, drove to Dixon's house to tell him what happened.

Later, when police questioned Shepard, he said Dixon paid him three silver bars and gave him a box of expensive Cuban cigars in return for killing Sonnier. Pawn shop records show that Shepard had cashed in silver bars the day after the murder.

Dixon was arrested and charged with two counts of capital murder. Shepard had accepted a plea deal to testify against Dixon in exchange for pleading guilty to first-degree murder charges to avoid the death penalty. Shepard is serving a life sentence at a maximum security prison in west Texas.  

Doctors.....?  Just a thought.
