A man who was arrested and charged with attempted murder in connection with a shooting last year outside a Las Vegas strip club claims that he is innocent, and that suspended Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam Pacman Jones ordered another man to open fire on a crowd of people.Speaking on the phone from the jail where he's being held, suspect Arvin Edwards tells News Channel 5 in Nashville:
"I feel sorry for them and everything, but I want to let them know I'm not the person who done this. I've been shot before. I know how it feels" ...
Edwards said Jones "paid somebody to shoot that club up. Now, if he wants to tell on somebody he needs to tell on himself and tell them what he actually done."
Edwards said Jones knows the shooter well. ... I don't have no reason to lie," he said.
(Via PFT) Obviously, that last part is ridiculous: If he was the shooter, Edwards has a very good reason to lie, namely that he doesn't want to spend the rest of his life in prison. But while Jones has pleaded guilty to a lesser offense and seems to be in the clear on this case from a legal perspective, every single time his name is in the news connected to this case, it's an embarrassment to the NFL. And Commissioner Roger Goodell, who holds Jones' football fate in his hands, doesn't like the NFL being embarrassed.
