First testimonies heard at Adams trial
Dixon prison guard, victim’s husband take the stand in murder trial
DIXON – Byron Adams told a Lee County inmate last year that he would do to him what he did to the woman he’s charged with killing, a correctional officer testified Wednesday.
Brandy Stern testified Wednesday in his murder trial that she was walking on the catwalk of the jail’s A-Block on Oct. 31 when she overheard Adams and the inmate arguing over a TV.
At that point, Adams had been in the jail for more than 2 years awaiting trial in the suffocation death of Margaret Atherton.
