Overview
- The prosecution rested Saturday after calling about 21 witnesses who described the confrontation at a Frisco high‑school track meet and played body‑camera and stadium surveillance footage for jurors.
- Collin County Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Elizabeth Ventura testified that Austin Metcalf suffered a two‑and‑a‑half inch chest wound that pierced the heart and was not survivable, and prosecutors showed autopsy photos to the jury.
- Multiple student witnesses said Anthony sat uninvited in Memorial High School’s team tent, was repeatedly told to leave and issued warnings such as “touch me and see what happens” before Metcalf was stabbed.
- Officers and first responders testified that Anthony made immediate statements at the scene acknowledging the stabbing and saying Metcalf had put his hands on him, while the defense says Anthony acted in self‑defense.
- The trial is continuing under tight courtroom restrictions, a gag order and heightened security after contested juror strikes left a seated panel with no Black jurors and protests have formed outside the courthouse.
