A bombshell in the courtroom. Defense witness number 4’s testimony has been impeached.
The 17-year-old witness originally claimed that Karmelo Anthony was surrounded and that he witnessed Austin reaching for him. On cross-examination, the prosecution played the surveillance video, which showed the witness had his back turned when Austin reached and when Karmelo stabbed him.
The witness actually turned around after the stabbing, witnessing the commotion, and called it Anthony being surrounded. This witness might explain why some people believe Anthony was jumped.
He also admitted that he doesn’t normally see people go into others’ tents, that he’s never done it, and that he would never bring a knife to a track meet.
