Advanced shouted at the state’s main wit ness Thursday, forcing an early recess of his murder trial to let Brown and his attorney calm down. Brown stood at the defense table and shouted, “I’m on trial for my life, man,” when inmate James Edward Solomon insisted Brown shot prison farm man ager Billy Max Moore and wounded and drowned Warden Wallace Pack on April 4, 1984. Defense attorneys restrained the weeping defendant while District Judge Darrell Hester sent thejurors from the room. The outburst came when So lomon, the only eyewitness to the killings, told Walker County District Attorney Frank Blazek that he was not lying when he said earlier in the trial that Brown had stood over Moore and fired three shots point- blank at the prison official’s head. “I wouldn’t do anything to harm another convict, because they have a hard enough time,” Solomon responded after spending the entire day under a point-by-point cross-examina tion. A defense attorney accused Solomon of changing his story in exchange for early release on parole. “I’m having a hard time,” Brown shouted as he attempted to rise from the defense table. “Seven years of my life. They’re trying me for my life, man." As the attorneys grabbed Brown and forced him down against a wall, he said, “I can’t help it, man.” Brown continued to weep when Hester recessed the trial until today. Hester warned Brown that he would have him gagged if another outburst occurred. "Mr. Brown, that outburst did not help your case,” the judge said. “It can’t do anything but hurt you. If you do it again I’ll have to gag you or do what ever it takes to keep you from doing it. More importantly, you’re only hurting yourself.” a t m Walk, Cycle, or Shuttle. It’s only 8 Blocks.
