Hello I am Barry Adair, I am not deaf but my step son who lives with us is, we live in Fort Worth, Texas
Cody is a 31 year old male that is divorced, he has a 5 year old son that is important thing in his life
This past weekend Cody had a real problem, most of it is explained here on CHANNEL 11 in Fort Worth
On Saturday September 29, 2007 Cody Goodnight, a 31 year old deaf male went to the Family Dollar Store located at Lancaster and Oakland in Fort Worth, to get a couple of 2 liter sodas, after he obtained the sodas he proceeded to the check out at the front of the store, since Cody is deaf and has been since the age of two, if he does not know you he avoids talking because some people give him funny looks when they can not understand him, he put the 2 sodas on the counter and the man in the checkout scanned them, the bill was two dollars and some change Cody handed the clerk a $5.00 bill, the clerk got Cody's change and threw it on the floor instead of handing it to Cody, at this point Cody told him to pick it up, he did not so Cody bent over and was picking his change up, at this time the clerk, picked up what Cody said looked like a axe handle, later the police found out it was a tire knocker, that truck drivers use to check the tires on the trucks, and proceeded to hit Cody in the head, at JPS they said Cody had a contusion, the police came to JPS and took a report, later that day the officer called Cody's Mom and told her the man was in jail, Sunday morning a detective called and ask if he brought some mug shots over could Cody pick out the person that had assaulted him and was told yes, he came over took another report, and had Cody ID the mug shot, he also said the man was charged with aggravated assault, and that he had told the officers what he had used to hit Cody, and also said the reason was because Cody did not talk to him, he thought Cody was being dis-respecful to him.
