By Daily Mail Reporter PUBLISHED: 18:20 EST, 28 November 2012 | UPDATED: 08:41 EST, 30 November 2012 Abraham Shakespeare could barely read, wrote his name in block letters and had given away most of his $17 million in lottery winnings when he became friends with Dorice 'Dee Dee' Moore, a calculating woman who later became his financial adviser, prosecutors said Wednesday.During opening statements in Moore's first-degree murder trial in Tampa, assistant state attorney Jay Pruner said Moore swindled what was left of Shakespeare's winnings from his bank account in 2009, then killed him and buried his body under a concrete slab in her backyard.Pruner said when Shakespeare won the lottery, his life 'drastically and dramatically changed' — and that the money caused all sorts of problems, eventually leading to his death.
