Hmm.

What would be a good way of getting that testimony in in order to give your son's defense?

Maybe put him on the witness stand.

But you chose not to do that.

You chose not to make the case that it was self-defense through Carmelo, nor that he didn't flee through Carmelo.

You just you want to get your your helpful facts out now after the trial's over.

That's not how it works, sir.

Now, what he said there is partially true based on witness testimony, but it leaves out some key facts.

See, according to CBS Texas, Carmelo only went to that teacher after he was first stopped by Memorial High School athletic trainer Tiffany Whitaker.

The teacher, who is Heritage High School coach Vincent Hooper, testified that Whitaker handed Anthony to him, saying, "'Do not let him leave.'"

That's also according to CBS Texas.

He wasn't just looking for a supportive hug.

He was not free to leave because they realized he had just committed a murder.

And here's more color from Sarah Fields on X. Quote, Tiffany Whitaker, the athletic trainer with Memorial High School, testified that she got in front of Anthony as he was running, put her hands up to keep him from leaving and yelled at coach Vincent Hooper.

Hey, this kid stabbed someone.

Don't let him leave.

This is when Coach Hooper put his arms around Carmelo in a hugging fashion to prevent him from leaving the stadium.

That's what happened.

That's what the testimony was at trial.

And yet this Drew Anthony gets up there to say, and you saw the long pause.
