Showtime announced a new documentary about the murder of Patrick Dennehy by his Baylor basketball teammate Carlton Dotson. The feature-length documentary, entitled Disgraced, will also recount the attempted cover-up by then-head coach Dave Bliss.
The documentary will first premiere at the South by Southwest film festival in Austin this March. It will first air on Showtime on March 31 at 8 p.m. CT.
Dennehy was shot and killed by Dotson on June 12, 2003. Dotson eventually pleaded guilty to the murder and was sentenced to 35 years in prison.
To cover up the fact that Bliss was paying for Dennehy and another teammate's tuition under the table after an investigation into the deceased began, Bliss portrayed Dennehy to the media as a drug dealer to explain how his school bills were paid.
