Not Guilty: Shyheim Adams, 18 'Im A Good Soul' Collapses During His Arraignment

The arraignment of a Connecticut teen accused of murdering a classmate turned chaotic when the suspect collapsed in court and family and friends of both teens got into a massive brawl.

Shyheim Adams, 18, made his first court appearance in Enfield on Tuesday on charges of manslaughter in the first degree in connection to the stabbing death of 16-year-old Justin Brady.

During the hearing, family members and friends of Brady shouted obscenities at Adams as the teen trembled and cried. Marshals were forced to remove several people from the courtroom so the arraignment could proceed, The Hartford Courant reports.

Video shows an emotional Adams wavering at one point during the hearing and then collapsing to the ground. According to the outlet, Adams said: 'I'm a good soul, Jesus please' and blocked his face with his hands.

WTNH reports that Adams appeared to mumble prayers before he fainted.

As marshals helped Adams up, people in the courtroom continued to scream at him.

Judge Sheila Prats halted the arraignment and cleared the courtroom. The Courant reports that yelling and screaming continued in the hallway before spilling outside in the parking lot, where several people got into a massive fist fight.

Enfield police were called to the scene and arrested 30-year-old John Moran for disorderly conduct and third-degree assault. Moran told NBC Connecticut following his release that he was at the arraignment to support his friend Adams.

'He's a good kid,' he said. 'There's facts that haven't been stated to the public, but I think that everyone is innocent until proven guilty. I was there to support my friend and I was attacked for it.'

Ten people had to be kicked out of the courtroom on Tuesday before the hearing could resume.

Senior Assistant public defender Ann Guillet told Prats that Adams' family wanted the bond reduced to $50,000. She argued that the teen had no past criminal record and had been the victim of an alleged assault that resulted in him being hospitalized.

Guillet also said Adams had been bullied so bad at Enfield High School, where Brady also attended, that he was forced to leave the school. Prats settled on a new bond of $750,000 and transferred the case to Superior Court in Hartford, which handles more serious crimes.

As Guillet spoke on Adams behalf, the teen sat in a chair shaking and crying, the Courant reports. As marshals led him out of the courtroom he told his family: 'I love you. I promise I'm not a bad person'.

Police were called to a home on Hoover Lane in Enfield early Monday morning for a 'disorderly in progress' call. An arrest warrant affidavit states that Brady had been stabbed multiple times and his white shirt was almost completely covered in blood.

The teen was still breathing when police arrived, but died around 1.30am on Monday.

Witnesses reported that when Brady arrived to the home he and Adams were standing in the street yelling at each other. Things quickly turned physical and the witness told police he saw Adams repeatedly stab Brady.

Once on the ground, Adams allegedly continued to stab Brady before running into the town attorney's home.

It sounds to me like the dead guy went there. If that's the case, I'm not at all sorry for him.

That, right there, is why Adams is so fucked. Its one thing to stab someone in self defense, but to keep doing once the threat is gone demonstrates a willful disregard for human life.

If he has been continuously terrorized then I can understand. I can't give him a pass because I'm nobody.
For my whole life, I have always practiced in my head being in a life and death situation and I have counseled myself to go for the kill.

How many times have you watched a movie where the bad guy gets up again and again.

I'm small, if I have to take you down I can't afford to have you get back up.

That's the advice I gave to my ex who was 5'1" at 95 lbs, but that scenario was for inside the house with a gun with no place to retreat. I told her to empty the mag for three reasons, the first is to ensure the intruder was truly no longer a threat, the second was to ensure if she went to trial for it she would be the only witness, and the third was to give a indication to the jury she was also so scared she didn't know what else to do, but keep pulling the trigger until no more "bangs" came out.

Adams was outside, he approached Brady (a sophomore, who was 2 years his junior), Adams also had a line of retreat, and he had to bend over top victim to continue his stabbing. Not that I am unsympathetic to a person who has been "bullied", if that is even true with Adams, but the DA can't really let this go due for all these other reasons stated.

Do you mean went there to fight? Because so did Adams. Neither of them should have shown up for a prearranged fight, but Adams is the one who brought a knife.

As of yet, I haven't read a single article that states "they both showed up for a prearranged fight"
If you have a link to that, I would like to read it.
 
Disgusting we got victim blaming going on here and for a 16 year old KID no less. Fucking vile. What evidence to you disgusting people have for calling him a bully, for just assuming that musta been the case?

This man is a piece of shit. He overreacted when he stabbed a CHILD to death for no good reason in that "fight", and he overreacted here when he threw a bitch fit in court cuz life is hard when youre a scumbag.

And let's keep in mind, this is a crime in which an adult MAN murdered a 16 year old kid. Very important to keep that in mind.

His facebook makes HIM look like the type of shithead who would be doing the bullying, real piece of filth.

Fuck this piece of shit and his trash family.

I will say that EVERYONE involved here appears to be a ripe douchebag. I have little sympathy for anyone in this story.

Fuck everything I said because i have good taste in music and hate trash scumbags like BARF Brooks?????????? How does my righteous disdain for shit CUNTry music and its "artists" render the rest of my FACT based comment to be moot?

Or do you both love Barf Brooks AND think this clearcut piece of shit scumbag murderer and his trash scumbag family are great people?

Did you donate to the scumbag dads gofundme for his son yet? Maybe if you donate enough hell be able to get a great defense attorney and get away with this, live free to slaughter another child someday in the future, or kill a police officer, which he has shown so much very public hatred for.

Fucking trash.

it is actually in the story (which i read) but don't let that stop this parade of the righteous you are attempting to herald.
 
Neighbors of Mike Cerrato talk about what's been happening on their street. Interesting read.

....
Neighbors on Hoover Lane did not want to speak to FOX61 on camera because they said they fear for their safety. They said assistant town attorney Mark Cerrato's son always brought trouble to the quiet neighborhood.
.....
Neighbors on Hoover Lane told FOX61 they always see Cerrato's son bring friends over and make lots of noise in the middle of the night. One neighbor, who did not want to talk on camera, described the scary incident after witnessing the fight and the stabbing.
"I’m really sad that the boy has died. I witnessed him bleed to death and no one helped him," said an Enfield resident.
He and others also mentioned wanting to leave that section of town.
"I’ve been putting up with this for years. I knew something bad was going to happen and it did. Unfortunately, it was a young kid that had a future ahead of him and at this point, I feel bad for his family," added the resident.
...
The neighbor said he was the one who called 911 since no one was doing anything and Brady was quickly dying.
"I’m glad people are being prosecuted for it," added the resident.

Teen boys out of control. They needed chores like tough yard work to work off that idiocy. Instead they ran loose.
A lot of shit behavior going on here, not just the boy who brought a knife to a fight and his rotten asshole enemy. All the other feral teens who gathered around to facilitate the melodrama. It was a gang effort that created this tragedy.

Your point?

The fact is many posting here have been heaping more sympathy on this murderer than i have ever seen displayed on this site. For some reason, there are quite a few here seemingly taking the murderers side, making up excuses for him, and even insulting/bashing the victim. I think it IS necessary, whether it's reflected int he story or not, to remind people of some important facts of the case, facts it seems clear many here have glossed over and paid little attention to.

Dont you ever fucking post again unless you have something relevant to say. You fucking understand me? Or better yet, just dont post again.
 
lmao. the only way you could appear any more ridiculous to me right now is if you were wearing clown make-up. i suspect (quite strongly) that carnival music accompanies your presence in the real world.

you, sir....are so way troll bait. it makes me want to jump on the opposite side of whatever you argue for, just to enjoy your hefty spaz. i hope i haven't ruined any element of surprise but i seriously doubt it matters now. is it ok if i stalk you?
