Lawyer: Pacman fabricated story
The lawyer for the man accused of shooting three people after a strip club melee involving NFL player Adam "Pacman" Jones alleged Tuesday that Jones "completely fabricated" the story that led to the man's arrest. "This entire case rests upon the statement of Adam 'Pacman' Jones," lawyer Jeffrey Segal told the judge who heard Arvin Kenti Edwards plead not guilty to charges that could put him in prison for the rest of his life. "Pacman Jones' story is completely fabricated," Segal said outside court. Clark County District Court Judge Valorie Vega set trial for March 2 and bail at $2 million. Segal said he intends to file a request for a lower bail amount. In court, Segal told the judge that police arrested the wrong man based on the word of a troubled sports figure whose account of an NBA All-Star weekend melee inside the Minxx strip club and the shooting outside couldn't be trusted. Segal said Jones refused to cooperate with investigators after the Feb. 19, 2007, shooting, then identified Edwards "after making a deal with the state where felony charges were dismissed so that he could get himself reinstated with the NFL."

Whether pac man lied or not,the funny part is that he is such a **** that any jury would side with Edwards.I sure would given Jones' lack of character.Reminds me of Vick,who was of course completely innocent until 4 of his "peeps" were going to testify.This will be Jones' last year in the NFL,and should be his last year as a free man.

Tell a lie often enough you start to believe it yourself.
If Adam DOES face charges and a trial maybe he'll get the same outcome as OJ.

Except that the 'shooter' was ID'd by someone not associated with Jones or his crew. The way the article I read was written it was implied that they were ID'd FIRST by the other party and then by Jones.
