[Miles O'brien, Cnn Anchor:] Breaking news out of Waco, Texas. The former Baylor basketball player Carlton Dotson indicted today in the murder of his former teammate and roommate Patrick Dennehy. For details on this, we turn it now to our Dallas bureau chief, Ed Lavandera, who can fill us in a little bit Ed.
[Ed Lavandera, Cnn Dallas Bureau Chief:] Hi, Miles. Well, the district clerk's office in Waco confirming to CNN that Carlton Dotson has been indicted of murder. A grand jury meeting this morning for a short while, hearing the last bits of evidence apparently it felt it needed to hear before handing out this indictment against Carlton Dotson. The significant part of all of this is because Carlton Dotson, as you know, is still being held in a Maryland and he is fighting extradition. So authorities and prosecutors in the Waco area needed this indictment to help speed along this process. And some of the officials we've been speaking with down in Waco this morning say that this will help speed up that process to have Carlton Dotson return back to Waco to face the charge of murder for the death of former basketball player Patrick Dennehy, his former teammate there at Baylor University Miles.
[O'brien:] So legally, what happens next, then? Now that there's an indictment in Texas and he's fighting extradition in Maryland, what the next step?
[Lavandera:] Well, there will be another extradition hearing in Maryland. When that will happen isn't exactly clear. But they'll have to return to the court there in Maryland to continue the process of bringing Carlton Dotson back. When that will happen I can't tell you at this point. But for the officials in Waco, as I said, they feel confident that this will help speed along that process. Last week, there had been an extradition hearing where the judge had given the prosecution an extra 60 days to help finish up the paperwork they needed to get to help bring Carlton Dotson back to Texas. And this is the key piece of that to make that happen.
[O'brien:] CNN's Ed Lavandera in Dallas watching this for you, for us and you. We'll check in with him later as details become available for us on this story.
