Mike Adams Told Attackers To Hit Him According To Surprise Witness

The trial for the 3 men accused of attacking Steelers tackle Mike Adams took an unexpected turn today when a surprise witness for the defense took the stand. According to a report by WTAE, Shariea Cox took the stand today as a surprise witness for the defense. In her testimony, she described Adams as drunk and said he appeared aggressive the night he was attacked last spring.

According to Cox, Adams had trouble keeping his balance that night, and said he was loud and yelled obscenities. She testified that the men suggested that Adams pay for their food, and he refused.  “I’m not paying for anything. Hit me. I want you to hit me. Do you know who I am?”, Cox claimed in her testimony today.

Michael Paranay, Dquay Means, and Jerrell Whitlock are being tried on a range of charges from conspiracy to attempted homicide. In Adams’ account of the events, Means brandished a gun, and Paranay hopped on his truck, saying, “We got a nice one here.” A few seconds later Adams was punched in the side of the face and then stabbed in the abdomen.

Adams said he saw Whitlock’s face as he pulled the knife out, before the defendants ran off. The witness said she saw Paranay punch Adams in the face, but did not see Means show Adams a gun, or see Whitlock stab Adams. I’ll reserve my personal opinion, but something clearly doesn’t add up. Thanks for stopping by and don’t forget to share with your friends.

    Quite simple, he was asking to get stabbed. When no one did it he slapped himself around, stabbed himself in the gut and pointed the finger at some guys in the restaurant. Sheesh, doesn’t matter what he yelled or didn’t yell. You don’t stab the drunkard sitting on the street because he said something to you or even told you to.

      Couldn’t agree more. Regardless of his behavior, you don’t get off the hook for stabbing him.
