During a murder trial, a murder defendant’s girlfriend denied receiving threats from her significant other before her grand jury testimony.
Kenneth Adams is charged with first-degree murder while armed, among other charges, for allegedly shooting 21-year-old Dante “Te” Kinard on the 1800 block of Benning Road, NE in 2016. Apparently, Kinard was not the intended target in the shooting.
“He seemed irritated but … he only told me I don’t have to say anything,” the witness said, referencing her last phone call with the defendant.
During cross-examination, the witness also said she never saw Adams with a gun.
The trial is expected to resume on Nov. 13.
