00:00I've been stabbed. Those were the final words of high school football star Austin Metcalf
00:04as he lay dying in the arms of his twin brother. The alleged murderer Carmelo Anthony was nabbed
00:10for the crime and apparently told the arresting officer, I'm not alleged, I did it. These details
00:18were revealed in the prosecution's opening arguments of Anthony's murder trial on Thursday.
00:23The suspect's lawyers have said their client was acting in self-defense,
00:26but prosecutors say Anthony ditched the murder weapon while fleeing the scene.
00:31They posed the question to the jury, quote, if you're scared and running away in self-defense,
00:36why toss the knife? The defense has also cast this as a case of a white bully intimidating a black
00:43kid.
00:44Race is not only a factor in the legal arguments of the case, but also in the jury box. 12
00:50jurors and
00:50six alternates are hearing the arguments of the case, but none of the 18 are black. Is that grounds
00:56for an appeal if things don't break the defense's way? We will see.
01:00We will see.
01:00We will see.
01:01We will see.
