Former MMA fighter in N.S. court on murder charge after Venezuelan extradition
HALIFAX — A Nova Scotia mother confronted the former MMA fighter accused of murdering her son Monday, shouting out to him as he was led into a court house after being extradited from Venezuela.
Surrounded by about three dozen friends and supporters, Gloria Adams called out to Steven Douglas Skinner as officers escorted him from a sheriff’s van and into Dartmouth provincial court under a heavy police presence.
“Skinner, Skinner — who’s this right here?” she shouted, gesturing to herself as the Cole Harbour man was led into the building in handcuffs. “I feel better now.”
The crowd broke out in applause after the much-tattooed Skinner was taken inside to face a second-degree murder charge in the death of Stacey Adams, 20. A few people wore t-shirts saying, “We Stay On Point Like Stacey Adams.”
