Under cross-exam, the boy reveals that Karmelo Anthony wasn't even under the tent. He was siting on the bleacher just above or north of the tent.
"What was the problem with that,' defense attorney asks the boy since Anthony wasn't under the tent.
"Relative area," the boy responds. He says they were told to keep kids from other schools away from the general area of their tent.
We have now heard from six teens who were at the stadium the day Austin Metcalf was stabbed by Karmelo Anthony. Four out of the six are black . All have testified that Karmelo Anthony was asked to leave the Memorial HS team tent, provoked Austin Metcalf, and pulled a knife *before or while* Austin had even pushed Karmelo.
"I'm not going to fight you at a track meet, dude,' Austin told Karmelo, according to teen #3.
During cross examination , defense attorney asks, 'Did he (Austin) grab hold of him (Karmelo?)
Teen #4 says, "He didn't get the chance to grab hold of him. He was already stabbed."
Teen #6 described watching the verbal back and forth between Austin and Karmelo, while Karmelo had his hands in his backpack and claimed he had something in his bag.
'The vein in his arm was visible. It looked like he was grabbing something,' teen #6 said.
@Ravenwild9@JohnSmi88078679@JoeEsjay you're absolutely right, ironically. but it's not color that's the problem. color is a byproduct of genetic factors. the same thing that these violent tendencies are.
BOMBSHELL: Under cross exam, boy was asked to show how the shove happened between Austin and Karmelo. Boy and defense attorney stand up to role play the shove in front of the jury. Boy stated Karmelo is sitting on a bleacher with his hands in his backpack. Other kids are calling his bluff and saying he didn't have anything in his backpack. When Austin moves in to shove/push Karmelo, Karmelo pulls the knife from his backpack and plunges it into Austin's chest. It was all part of the same motion.
