The defense for a Gainesville man accused of murder wants the jury to hear the violent actions of the alleged victim just before he was slain, but a judge on Tuesday pushed off a decision pending more information. Joseph Scott Williams, 33, is accused of shooting and killing 37-year-old Adrien Lamont Thompson. Police allege Williams shot the Gainesville man multiple times on June 3 in the parking lot outside Peppers Market off E.E. Butler Parkway in Gainesville.
