What an awful thing for a mother to bear.

Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men or women?

And with all of the incriminating evidence, Dee Dee is only being charged as an accessory to murder.

I think we might need an Abraham Shakespeare thread, until the killer(s) has been convicted.

There is no way she won't be charged with first degree murder

According to the Sheriff of Polk County, she has already incriminated herself

By talking about Shakespeare being shot - information that was not released to the public

I just wonder what's taking them so long to file that charge

This is so sad for Shakespeare's mother - I wonder if some of the people who were

so quick to take his money will now turn around and help his family pay for his funeral

yea, right!

She was that Greedy........ That she would take someone's life 2 get 2 their Money!! (*HUMAN GARBAGE*)

I hope she gets charged with first degree murder.  When she does, she will sing more than a fat lady (no pun intended).

I also doubt that any of his friends will be at the funeral.  They will probably feel too much shame, as they are the ones who drove him to Dee Dee with their own greed.  I just hope that before he met Dee Dee, that he had enough sense to make funeral arrangements for himself, and left enough money to take care of his children.

Money and Greed is the root of all Evil.

GREED, one of 7 deadly sins.  Large sum of money changes people. Ms Moore proably

had some of her SHADEY friends plot to get rid of Shakespeare, and thought they would

get away with it.  Lets c if MS Moore has anything else to say!

I agree and there was no reason for this, this man was giving money away  FREELY to this woman, she was just too greedy.  My condolences to his mother and his family, may he rest in peace.

My prayers and sympathy go out to the mother and his family.  The love of money is the root of all evil.  Hope Police get info from DeeDee of all other connected and they all get the death penalty.  She may do a plea bargain in exchange for telling others involved and get life in prison.   The prisoners will take care of her.

From Story:

"I would like to say, 'Why?' Because if she needed money, Abraham would have given it to her," she said."

Why?  Because, if Moore is guilty, IMO she wanted everything!  That's why, nothing complicated here.

"I just wonder what's taking them so long to file that charge"

The prosecutor has the option of waiting quite a long time before increasing the charges.  My guess is they're still interviewing witnesses, putting pressure on suspects, gathering evidence, etc...  Don't forget, they must also perform forensic tests and obtain the lab results.  This can take weeks.

I believe the prosecutor charged her with the lessor charge because they were afraid she would run to Brazil or some other country with no extradition treaty.  They were afraid she was a flight risk, such as Roman Polanski who ran to France and lived there for 30 years.  Moore probably had a current Passport and the sheriff probably verified that.  Remember that Moore is allegedly a con-artist and allegedly has millions, his millions!  By charging Moore now, they can keep her in jail so she cannot flee.

If enough evidence can be found implicating her in the murder, I believe she should/must be charged with Murder 1 and should/must be given the death penalty.  If you look over the last 40 years, women have usually not been given the death penalty whereas in the same case, had the convicted been a man, a man would've been given the ultimate penalty.  Usually what happens is, a woman will give us the sobs and tears  in the courtroom, everyone feels sorry for her (awwwww)  , and they let her off with a 10 year served sentence.  This case, if Moore is guilty, screams for her to get the death penalty and nothing less.

wow wow and wow,

I suspected foul play in the begining. Dee Dee moore im sure was partially responsible if not responsible for shakespears death. It seems to me that she already had money if she owned her own biz. Maybe it was going down. One thing that i know for sure is that it all boils down to greed. she was a greedy B@##$$. You know greed never gets anyone anywhere. But look at where it got her. I am outraged, that people would not let this man live his life. she is lower than low and her boyfriend knew darn well that he had a body on his property. How could they sleep at night. The poor mother, May God Bless you. and Abraham rest in peace, they found  your killers or the ones responsible for your death and now you can rest in peace.

I've always thought that, myself...but now, like in my signature, I no longer believe it's the *money* itself, but what's in the heart of who aquires it (or wants to aquire it), and only amplifies who we already are.  I've never been one to point the finger at tv shows or music, to be an excuse for why people commit heinous crimes, either. There is no excuse for something like happened to this man. A gun doesn't shoot people, PEOPLE shoot people. 

There are actually a few people with money, that don't have this "evil seed" waiting to be planted in their mind. Thank God I don't have that "seed". Money would never be evil for me. No matter how much money I won, or anyone around me won, it would NEVER drive me to murder. I have a feeling that Abraham Shakespeare was a really good man, and I think it takes a special kind of person to be giving, and not to let money go to your head. Unfortunately, it's all too easy to fall victim to all of the GREED of others around you! There sure is a lot of it going around anymore.

My heart goes out to his mother....

I agree +1

An awful thing in deed! My heart aches for her!   I have so many questions in my head regarding this case; not to assign blame however; where was is closest relatives? Why did they not remain a little closer to him to help him fend off the bloodsuckers, that we all know inevitable shows up!! 

I literally felt ill and nauseated by these.. these...pathetic SubHumans, who would take life in exchange for money????!!!!!! Leaving a mother bewildered and destroyed at the lost of her son! Why?? My GOD In heaven Why??? She will be in my prayers and may her baby boy rest in peace! May ALMIGHTY GOD help us All.

More stories developing about the case.

This is Dee Dee Moore's picture

My heart aches for Mrs Shakespear.

Mine too. I feel so bad for her and the rest of his family.

Never pass up an opportunity to hug your kids and tell them you love them even when they're adults. You never know when it will be the last time you'll be able to do that and neglecting to do so on that one occasion can haunt you for a long time.

you are so right...

I always hug mine, 2 adults, and 1 13yr old, they mean world to me!

Secondly, thats alot of prisoners in one court room....wow!

1 million bond for her, man im not one for the death sentance. but sometimes erggh. people are just too evil. i remeber reading this story before he died. about the woman moving in on his life and wanting to write his life story, yeah right.

as i said in pthe rpost, i hope the lawyers the family hve dont take any money remaining leaving them nothing and the family get something good from this disaster. im sure she isnt smart enough to hid the ill gotten gains.

I simply hope that before Shakespeare died that he became a good man and a happy man.  I hope that he was able to remove himself from those pursuits (burglery and assult) that he used to perform which is why he spent some time in jail for retribution.

It may have been sad for Shakespeare's mother to observe/know of Shakespeare continuing friendships with the folks that he had performed those bad pursuits with prior (or met while he was in jail), if he had encouraged those friendships.

I don't understand why murdering people who murder people is a good idea.  For example, look at how many people have driven a pregnant female to abortion mills, nurses who prepared the ultrasound equipment until the undelivered child's movements could be seen, and the doctor who pulled the undelivered child's body parts apart [oh the excruciating pain for the child the entire time]??  Each of the above people caused the child's murder, yet is it necessary that each be murdered in return?  Wouldn't it be be better to have laws that don't allow any murdering (except in one's defense from an attacker) -- because then a conversation could be had with someone that would easily show that murder isn't okay to cause ?(except in one's defense from an attacker)?

Regardless, I hope that Shakespear's mother and children are able to obtain, and peacefully share, a few of the millions in order to live lives that keep them away from those bad inclinations that their father had.  Perhaps soon after the funeral would be a good time for them to move away somewhere together and not send forwarding contact information to their current friends, relatives, acquaintences, press, lawyers, financial advisors, and police (it's still not clear how many people were involved with the purposeful or accidental death of Shakespeare)!  I think that the people who love them would understand and not be sad, but rather be thinking the best of their future away.

I hope she ends up another woman's b**** when she goes to prison.

Here is the transcript from Abraham Shakespeare's  Mom.

Mother of Abraham Shakespeare Speaks

Elisabeth Walker: During this very difficult time, the pastfew months have been filled with uncertainty and worry over the fate of wheremy son Abraham. We had certainly hoped for a different outcome. They didn’tcare anything for him. All they wanted was his money. He was hounded everydayabout money. He couldn’t even…his phone just constantly ringing. His life wasmiserable. I think that it was others involved. But I think Dee Dee thatpeople’s that she had to do things for her. You know, these people’s just cameright in and did what she wanted them to do. You know? For love of money. I think she had somethingto do with it. Well, we was talking one day. I was with her in her car and shewas talking about , we was talking something about him and she said “When hedied” I just looked at her real strange and you know. She said “Oh ah and sheswitched and started talking about something else. Yeah, I feelangry. I feel hurt, disappointed.

Pastor H. B. Holmes: You have to understand that this ladytook her to places like Walt Disney World and things of that nature. Gave her abible. making her believe that she was a person of faith. But to come to findout she was the devil in disguise.

Elisabeth Walker: Well thinking about well one time how Imissed him he wasn’t there for my... I mean for Thanksgiving or Christmas. AndI was just looking for him to just maybe just drive up any day. But after I seethat didn’t happen it put a deep grief on my heart. A deep longing..loneliness,missing my son. And I think about that. I’ll never see him again. It hurts.
