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.





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.



"I remember it getting more aggressive," the teen said. "I remember Karmelo refusing to leave. Then Austin asked him to leave.' Anthony said, 'Touch me and find out,' the boy recalled. Boy says Karmelo was asked to leave about 15 times by Austin and several others. He says no one ganged up on him and he didn't think a fight was going to break out. He thought were might be 'minor pushing at most.' Teen says this went on for 2 minutes and adds that both Austin and Karmelo were angry at this point.
