Ep. 1791 - Karmelo Anthony's Defense Is Already Falling Apart
"Prosecutor Bill Wersky continued his opening statement saying that Carmelo Anthony lied to investigators when he said he told Austin Metcalf not to touch him. 'He knows what he did. He knows he provoked the murder,' Worski said. 'And that lie tells you all you need to know about his mindset that day. You simply cannot provoke someone, and when they push you, take their life.'"
In the Carmelo Anthony murder trial, prosecutors presented evidence contradicting Anthony's statements to police. According to witnesses, Anthony told Metcalf 'Touch me and see what happens' while reaching into his bag, not the defensive warning he claimed. Anthony fled the scene after stabbing, attempted to hide the murder weapon, and was chased down by coaches.
