A Sharpsburg woman pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in Wilson County Criminal Superior Court on Wednesday in the April 23, 2023, stabbing death of Quinton Earl Dortch, 47, also of Sharpsburg. Moore told the court that Etheridge feared Dortch so much that she put a couch behind her door to prevent entry. Moore told the judge that Etheridge had been in and out of psychiatric hospitals and suffered from schizophrenia. The defense attorney told the court that Etheridge is “a frail woman” who suffers from tremors and difficulty walking. Dortch told the court that she had to see her brother lifeless after he had been stabbed in the chest.
