A longtime friend of murder defendant Joseph Scott Williams said he was bullied, demeaned and pushed by the victim. “This was a man backed against a wall like a child whose father has been beating on them,” Anthony Tate said from the witness stand Tuesday in Hall County Superior Court in Gainesville. Tate said the 33-year-old Williams felt he had “no way out” when Adrian Thompson, 37, was gunned down on June 3, 2013, in the Pepper’s Grocery & Market parking lot.
