Bess takes the stand
Defendant Terry Lee Bess takes the stand in his own defense.
He said the incident started when Sherwood Wade and him were at a crack house on Buffalo Street. Bess said he just bought some crack when Wade ask for some.
“He asked me for a hit," said Bess.
Bess said he wasn't going to share.
“On Aug. 3, I gave him a couple of dollars to go buy drugs and he didn’t come back. It wasn't about the money it was about the principal. He started cussing me out. I walked away."
He said later, Wade threatened him and threw the first punch.
"He hit me in the right jaw and knocked by tooth out," said Bess. "I was scared of him because of his reputation. I've seen him slam and beat people."
