NEW Karmelo Anthony defense witness TESTIMONY PROVES SELF-DEFENSE!
Defense: "It was raining hard enough for people to be under tents?"
Witness: "Yes."
Defense: "Eddie called Karmelo over to the tent?"
Witness: "Yes, sir."
Defense: "The interaction between Eddie and Melo was friendly?"
Witness: "Yes, sir."
Defense: "After Eddie called him over, Melo sat down?"
Witness: "Yes."
Defense: "For about five minutes? Friendly talk? No one expressed a problem with Melo being there?"
Witness: "No."
Defense: "Do you recall the first person to say to Melo, 'Who are you?'"
Witness: "Hunter Melcalf."
Defense: "Hunter is a big guy?"
Witness: "You could say."
Defense: "At the time of the event, Austin was a little bigger?"
Witness: "I'd say substantially bigger."
Defense: "So Hunter tells Melo to leave?"
Witness: "Yes."
Defense: "Melo said, 'No one has a problem with me being here besides you?'"
Witness: "Yes."
Defense: "If you put Melo and Austin next to each other, Melo is smaller?"
Witness: "Yes."
Defense: "Hunter started with a moderate tone, and it got more aggressive?"
Witness: "Yes, sir."
Defense: "Do you remember telling the detective, 'You need to move before I beat your a--'?"
Witness: "I don't recall saying that."
The defense approaches the witness with papers. The witness agrees that Austin said something like that, or something similar, about wanting to beat his a--.
Defense: "Austin is standing up. Melo is still seated?"
Witness: "Yes."
Defense: "That's when Melo reached into his bag, after Austin mentioned something about wanting to beat his a-?"
Witness: "Yes."
Defense: "Austin calls his bluff and says, 'I know you don't have anything in that bag'?"
Witness: "Yes."
Defense: "For Austin to make his way to Melo, he has to move up five rows?"
Witness: "Yes."
Defense: "Austin takes a step or two, and then they talk, and that continues?"
Witness: "Yes."
Defense: "All this time, as Austin is moving closer to Melo, Melo is seated with his hand in the bag, like 'don't come closer to me'?"
Witness: "Yes, sir."
Defense: "Melo says, 'As long as you don't touch me, we're cool,' or, 'Don't touch me'?"
Witness: "Yes."
Defense: "You told the detective Austin reached up and tapped Karmelo on the shoulder? Melo is still seated?"
Witness: "Yes."
Defense: "There's a touch, and then there's a grab?"
Witness: "Yes."
Defense: "He [Austin] grabbed with both hands?"
Witness: "Both of his hands were in motion."
Defense: "Austin is reaching for Melo, and at that point, Melo's hand comes out of the bag?"
Witness: "Yes."
