Multiple reports say attorneys for Karmelo Anthony rest their case as the jury prepares to deliberate in his murder trial. According to coverage, the defense does not call Anthony, a 19-year-old accused of murder, to testify in his own defense. One outlet reports that the attorneys rested after the defendant declined to take the stand, while another similarly states that the defense ends its presentation following the decision not to testify. The reports do not indicate that any witnesses are added after the defense rests, and they present the decision as a key moment immediately preceding jury deliberations. While one account frames the choice in terms of potential consequences for the self-defense argument, the other focuses on the procedural status of the trial—namely that the defense has concluded and the case moves to deliberations. Both sources agree on the core fact that Anthony does not testify and that the defense rests on Monday.
