Adonis faces charges of conspiracy to commit murder related to his alleged involvement in three botched attacks on Kinnear, who was head of the AGU at the time.
Adonis alleges that Kinnear planned the attack on his home because he knew Modack had the same plot to take him out.
He claims Kinnear planned to arrest Modack for the grenade attack and when he resisted, he would be shot dead.
Meanwhile, Shaw told the court Kinnear's former colleague, General Andre Lincoln will have to testify about Adonis' allegations.
The trial continues.
