Opening statements began Thursday, June 4, in the trial of Karmelo Anthony, the Texas teen accused in the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf at a Frisco high school track meet. With no cameras inside the courtroom, Cody Thomas brings an inside look at what jurors are seeing and hearing as testimony gets underway — including courtroom evidence, the 911 call, surveillance video, witness testimony, and the arguments from both the prosecution and defense.

Josh and Cody break down the biggest moments from the Karmelo Anthony trial so far, what the jury heard in court, and the key questions surrounding the case: murder or self-defense?

Plus, in tonight’s Leftovers segment, we’ll cover major updates in several cases:
– Rebecca Haro guilty plea and sentencing
– New developments in the Brian and Lynette Hooker case after the search has resumed by the U.S. Coast Guard
– Brendan Banfield sentencing

Join the CC Crew LIVE for legal analysis, courtroom insight, and true crime updates from the week.
