Opening statements in the trial of a man accused of shooting a Warner Robins code enforcement officer will begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday.


On Monday, the prosecutor and defendant. John Adcock, who's representing himself, chose a jury.

When jury selection started, Adcock told the court he did not plan to participate in the trial, even though he's chosen to represent himself. He called prosecutor Jason Ashford and Judge Katherine Lumsden "corrupt."

Then late Monday this afternoon, Adcock said he wanted to participate.

Adcock came into the courtroom at Houston County Superior Court dressed in a jail jumpsuit.

He chose to wear that and refused a suit or other clothing.

He said very little throughout the day, except that he was not ready for the trial to begin. Then later, after deciding to participate in the trial, that he needed more time to prepare an opening statement.

Prosecutor Jason Ashford talked about Adcock's change of mind: "He has decided that he is going to be making an opening statement so the judge gave him some time to prepare. I'm allowed, and he's allowed, one hour to make their opening statements, and the judge also made sure that he understood that he is not to testify, it's only going to be a preview of the evidence."

Adcock faces 12 counts for the April 2008 shooting of Warner Robins code enforcement officer Beau Weathers and for shooting at others.

If convicted on all counts, Ashford says Adcock could face more than 100 years in prison.

Weathers and police officer Bill Capps came to Adcock's house to talk to him about junk cars in his yard.

Weathers was wounded but is now back on the job.

Lorra Lynch-Jones will be in the courtroom all week to provide updates on 13WMAZ and 13WMAZ.com.
