The former Madison County police officer indicted for killing a University of Georgia graduate student in 2019 is now arguing his charges are invalid.
Winford Terrell Adams III is arguing his seven-count felony charges are invalid because he acted while in the performance of his duties as an officer. Adams filed a motion to quash the indictment in the Clarke County Superior Court, alleging he shot the 26-year-old student because he was "concerned for the safety and welfare of his wife," who was at the student's place of residence at the time of the shooting.
