Carruth schemes and Watkins testifies in murder case
Watkins described Carruth pressing him to cause Adams miscarriage and later to kill Adams and her unborn baby in Charlotte. He recalled plans to shoot after La maze class and a note about a dog fence as code. Kennedy testified driving the car, while Watkins faced Rudolf’s cross examination about past crimes and credibility. He showed fear of Carruth, admitted pressure, and ended with a defiant, rambling finale in court.
