"Today's plea agreement in the Carlton Dotson prosecution brings us a step closer to concluding what has been a painful period for Baylor University. I pray that this will bring some closure to the Brabazon and Dennehy families, who have suffered the most from this tragedy. Our prayers also go out to Carlton Dotson's family members, who have endured a different, but no less painful ordeal."
